I've been leveling my troll SK, currently 49. The only time (so far) that the exp penalty has felt insurmountable was 45... And that's a short jump before a very useful spell circle, so I'm sure it felt longer to me. IMO, the penalty post 50 won't feel as awful because you get spells every single level, and most of them are fairly useful.

As for gearing, you are good to go with following the suggestions in the thread. Swap some of your jewelry for AC gear, grab an AC belt (Thick Banded Belt is nice) for tanking in groups where your self dps isn't as important, and you should be fine.

SKs get undead fear, which is absolutely amazing to use for when you are stuck soloing. LOIO, Specs in the feerrott, random undead anywhere are all decent camps when you want exp but have to solo.

As far as illusions go, the only illusion I can think of off the top of my head is the AoN. They are very very very expensive and it turns you into a skeleton.

Yeah, sadly I guess I wont have a benefit of an illusion.

That's one thing I look forward to is soloing in undead areas, although atm my dps is the highest in my group. I don't think I'll worry about an AC belt until higher levels.


Its sad that I wont be able to craft any Imbued Ogre War items, as I was really looking forward to that. But as I made the SK, a update followed shutting that idea down.

There's skeleton illusion spells for SKs in Velious anyways, iirc.

HELLYEAH!

Yeah, at lower levels the better ratio of your weapon means you will outdps your group. Once you get higher level, classes start getting more damage abilities, dual wield, etc, you will slowly fall behind the curve. That's the point where mobs start hitting hard enough to warrant the extra ac over haste. But for now, dps away!

Swap out your Black Chitin Legs for Silver-plated Leggings or Darkforge Greaves. More AC, and the STA on the darkforge will easily outstrip the +10 hp on the black chitin

I've been looking for darkforge legs forever! If anyone has please pm me!

I'm also looking for Cloak of the Ice Bear! and a bracer to replace Serpentine Bracers, possibly dwarven work boots, and iksar scaled gloves.

I'm really taking the advice, and aiming for AC/STA/STR pieces.

I need to replace my earrings and necklace also since they dont add any hp or ac.

So..

Neck
Earrings
Face
Bracer
Cloak
Legs
Boots
Gloves

are the items I should possibly replace, then I honestly will never have to worry about gear until raiding. Besides maybe having off pieces.
