Superior ZWEItips
- Use thorns, savage spirit, and make sure to have ES arms up on your target.
This is an advanced tactic, I highly suggest you use this once you are comfortable. 1 bear can kill 2 things, and it is much faster so higher xp/hr.

- On charm breaks where you have more than 2 mobs (target+pet), snare your pet then kite and re-charm. Otherwise use grasping roots to save mana
When doing my tactic above, you will be managing 3+ mobs at a time on a regular basis, so having the ability to kite is priceless.

- DUO.. xp is about the same, but MUCH SAFER.

Other things to note
- Level 56 root is a godsend, make sure you get it.

- Always fully buff yourself.

- Have Circle of Commons up, or a group low cast time group succor if duoing... at one point or another something bad will happen and you'll need to GTFO.

- Have a WC cap on you at all times for situations where you can't cast the port yourself.. recharging this is MUCH cheaper than getting a cleric out here.


Now, don't listen to wiggle about the cave wolves, DO THEM, they are easy.

There is a particular way to pull the wolves: On a full 3 spawn you will pull the leftmost wolf because there is a chance he comes solo, if not the rightmost wolf will come. In the situation where the left+right wolf come root both and charm one then use cancel magic if needed on your pet.

MIDDLE WOLF NEVER SOCIAL AGGROS.. You must either bonk him or cast glamour of tunare on him to pull.

zweiberbitte went full retard...if your level 51, and you attempt the wolves, your going to have a bad time!

MAYBE IF YOU'RE BAD!

Also, do TD aviaks till 53.

[Speed3863]

hell naw, real druids do kedge til 54, or if your real classy do seahorses to 60! Also charm breaks a lot on wolves if your below 54. If you savage spirit a bear before you get the 56 root you might as well just nuke yourself to death because once it breaks ( which it will ) your fucked! Strategy on pits change every time you level up. Charms hold longer, you get new spells, you get more comfortable , etc. There is only one right way to do the pits and thats killing 2 bears without dying. Each person strategy is different and this is just basic tutorial through it since no other druid wants to share it since it could make it more camped! Also enchanters and shamans can duo here and exp is just as good.

Everybody does shit differently! I did 46-53 in TD in 2-3 days super easy with lumi staff... wasn't really paying attention either besides pulls, so I was able to watch movies/tv at the same time. Kedge sure if you wanna have fun and put some hair on your chest.

I really don't agree with you on the wolves breaking more than anything else, I never noticed it or had a problem with it.

My way was much more difficult and dangerous, but it's more fun and will make you a better player.

Either way, these videos are a fantastic resource, and every druid getting into the 50s should check them out!

I tried using savage spirit on a pair of bears. Ended with the charm breaking early (twice), and getting hit so fast and so often that I couldn't root. (interrupted every time) Died.

Wolves broke charm within 45 seconds on every attempt. I would not suggest trying them unless you have the level 56 Pet Charm spell.

Zwei's "advanced" tactics are more like 56+ high risk tactics if you want to see how far you can push it. Remember though, you are in the friggin bear pits and nobody is about to do the suicide run in to bind themselves there and res you.

Safe and steady wins the XP race. You don't want to find yourself churning out a bunch of xp, then having to eat a death.

First off, there is no lvl 56 charm spell, there is one at 55 but it is a novelty spell that doesn't work in pits (maybe you meant lvl 56 root?)

And I called them "advanced" tactics for a reason, I also prefaced it by telling you not to try it until you are super comfortable down there. I'd suggest lvl 53 minimum to try hasting them and trying wolves so you have glamour. I came to pits at lvl 53 and I was hasting/thorn/pulling wolves from the get go and I was 60 within a week.

I didn't really make what I think is the most important thing about bear pits clear, so here it is.

ALWAYS DUO
