I finally managed to kill this damn frog. After a week of struggle. A week that made my exp bar move from 45% to 22%, without ever eating a single exp death.

Most of these deaths occured while trying to reach disco (or trying to CR myself). It's a bit ridiculous, I know. Sometimes I would lose patience and just eat 4 deaths in a row, trying to CR myself without any gear... The recent changes in the amount of see invis mobs in Sebilis really hurt the solo wizard [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If I am doing my mental math correctly that is 4 levels of XP. You'd be 56 without all that cleric love! If it makes you feel any better you can read about my miserable struggle with Dartain. Most of the time the challenge is fun, but sometimes it can just get ugly.

We want names!

This encounter was definitely the most difficult sofar.

Nice job and the RNG gods evidentially approved, since you got the rare. Have you considered camping the root nets in Permafrost? I primarily use them on my chars that can't cast root, but I know Orruar (shaman) used them all the time since instant root is pretty fuckin convenient when there are 4+ mobs on you.

I may need some root nets in the future. If I want to try more difficult areas / encounters, I could use the instant root. Ensnaring roots isn't that great but it could be useful to avoid taking too many hits. I can tank / root park 4 mobs in HS North. It probably won't be that easy without the root nets in HS South or West.
