Input from SKs needed!

I fear kited a lot in DL from 49-54, solo, along the east wall of KC. After I hit 54, the double hell became too much to solo though, though I do remember ravishing drolvargs being dark blue until 56-57 if you want to continue.

BW sucked because of adds at the giant fort and skyfire sucked for me because the assist range on those mobs was huge (so the pulls were long and I ended up zoning some of my pulls because of chromadrac adds).

After 54, it was Chardok for me because it was my only real option due to my playtime. Had there been an outdoor zone I could easily solo in, I would have done that instead most likely.

The Shadowknight power curve is immense after 50, where you start getting useful spells every single level. The 52 pet basically doubles your DPS when you are fear kiting mobs in DL, if you summon a higher one and give him weapons. The 58 even more so.

My guess is either:
1) Become non-kos and get in line with the other 7 pullers waiting for that one guy to finish his 18+ hour turn. If the group allows 68% penalty proxies

2) Farm money and pay for it if the group allows 68% penalty proxies.

Personally on my necro I didn't have much problem with adds at BW Fort once I figured out where they pathed to/from. You just need to make sure you periodically let them path back into the crater a bit before reapplying fear. Probably less efficient as an SK since you'd be meleeing them down though.

Yes, I pulled, and yes, if I was next in line for pulling (I woke up early, got in line, gave someone I trusted my phone number, and went back to sleep) the group dealt with me and I them. Groups in chardok are worried about volume of pulls, not penalties, and the fact that an SK can reliably and easily bring 140-mob pulls is a plus in their books. I've also never had to wait for some guy to finish an 18 hour shift, but I have heard times have changed. If anyone was to play that long in any of my groups, they'd have been replaced long beforehand so their tired ass doesn't wipe us.

You wait in line for chardok - You are next in line to pull, you pull, it does not matter what class/race you are as long as you are a reliable puller.

As for BW, because an SK has to melee a mob down, it means we are not medding during kills - it's pretty hard for us to fear/CC more than one mob at a time for any sort of long duration, because Invoke Fear costs a decent chunk of mana that we have no opportunity to med back.

I am a troll SK so this thread could be very useful as well. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I have not fear kited besides a few mobs here and there, but I actually solo'd deepwater crocs for a couple levels to 25 although I don't think anyone would recommend it. Before that was HH and was nice getting a few Shralok Packs, a big amount of scalps, the Shiny Brass Idol and there have been more people showing it there lately. Good source of money for sure. And the Shiny Brass Halberd I have been collecting and saving for pets. Allows them to hit for 36 damage around. Very nice.

Upper Guk seems to be nice as well in this range and I also camped a Runed Bone Fork which is one of the best items for our ranged slot or alternatively you could sell it for 500pp give or take. Just a couple recommendations for making money while leveling.

Aren't there undead in DL and Trak's that 50+ SK can solo?

I'm not entirely sure, hoping some 60 SKs can chime in here [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There are a few skeletons around the combine city right next to the port-in from DL that I think stay DB till 60. I tried them a bit on my necro once but there aren't a lot of them and a paladin was soloing them.

Would work, it just doesn't support many people.
