Grouping after level 50 sucks if you can solo.

What happened to the Hole? Why is this place a ghostland and shit hole KC is back to 30+ people in the zone at all times.

We just love doing 9 dps on wizards and facilitating ranger delusions of being a good class in kc.

Grouping post 50 on a shaman is balls, especially if you have some mouth breather asking for an AGI buff

The Hole is such a pain in the ass for the average player to get to.

The relatively safe/social entrance to KC is also a plus. It's also easy to go deep in KC and you don't need a port class to bail you out.

The Hole is cool and all, but it's about the worst in the game for a organic, social dungeon. You have to form the group before you even port to Odus.

A leveling spot or group being tooo slow is the very definition of being a zoomer.

People are inherently lazy as fuck (hello, they're playing P99 for a reason).

Slight nerf to hole and slight buff to KC and just like that the mouthbreathers have come home to roost right where they belong.

Just exclusively duo w/ war or monk. Best of both worlds.

The best XP for shaman is going to be duo/trio with Melee, preferably someone you know well. Most players don't bring enough to Matter and are just XP leaches. Shaman with Melee or Enchanter with Healer (Cleric is best, but other healers can work decently in a Pinch. Everyone else can solo. Mage/Necro can fill in the Melee spot with a Shaman, but less efficient due Mage DS being significant DPS and Necro primarily Charms post 50. Cleric and Mage/other DPS is decent too. Generally good duo/trio will be Healer as the foundation and DPS/tank. Everyone else is kind of filler/waste of space.

I kind of forgot that I did play with a Monk briefly around level 45 and it was super efficient. He had a fungi tunic and I was basically just having to slow mobs and keep him buffed while he did most of the work. He literally never required heals. My pet was some added DPS.

Yea the real reason is because they nerfed the ZEM in the Hole. However it's still superior xp due to the relative abundance of mobs compared to KC.

It's truly simple to get to any camp in the Hole if you're not the noobiest of noobs.

Try somewhere other than KC and in a duo or trio

I just went to KC for the nostalgia. I had spent like 2 nights getting the OT Hammer just so I could go there without having to worry about ruining my VS faction. I still want to see The Hole, Chardok, Howling Stones, Sebilis etc. but KC from what I've gathered was the most accessible for an average player.

The thought of going all the way out to the Hole and then being stuck there without finding a group isn't super appealing. At least if I can't get a group in KC there's still stuff in the surrounding zones that I could solo for EXP during the meantime. I also need to head over to CoM to finish my cannibalize 2 quest, so KC being conveniently located is a big plus, but I do plan on moving around more and more to see a lot of the zones I never really got to thoroughly enjoy 20+ years ago.
