Best solo melee class?

[Duik]

Didnt client have timestamps? What time kill a_mob¿ Boing! What timestamp a_mob boing!
Cecilys crayon + paper helps here

It seems like the perfect zone to fear kite, but the mob density and hp make it super tedious and I think the ZEM is awful as well. If you reaaaaally want you, could you bow kite worms, but god help you if you under estimate how many arrows. Those things are also surprisingly bad exp. Also the animals repop as wyverns and worms, I think, so you kill off most of the animal population eventually.

Ranger + rogue is kinda fun tho. That might.. be decent exp.

Agreed - Ranger soloing in WW is best saved for killing time between scout rolls.

Really should have had been able to apply poison to arrows, among other things.

Got lucky with double bracer on my Ranger. Made zero difference. Class gets absolutely wrecked by mobs. Best thing you can do is get tov weps and embrace being a glass cannon.

I think most my justification was based on being able to make scout rolls, and casually grind. I didn’t have a sky cloak or ToV weapons sub-60 so I just avoided the perceived long kill times. It’s definitely not a place that is going to pace with consistent blues though.

The more time you spend running around and longer the kills take, the slower the bar moves. The first part of that might be the most overlooked…two static 7 min spawns are hard to beat. I’ll take boring and consistent for 57-60 over an “adventure”.

Yea I had sky cloak and both epics. Still took forever. Maybe different with tov weps, but meh. Low hp blues is always the best for melee.

From the Jimjam posting archives. Probably epics, sky cloak, bow of the huntsmen and tolan’s bracer.

The silks are worth player cash and they can drop a nice chest piece if you or a friend have an alt they can park for loot.

Again, this is a ranger perspective, but I found the animals have too much hp (along with the problems you mentioned) meant it was easier to find xp elsewhere. Perhaps Druids don't have as rich solo options as Rangers 55-60?

Perhaps a high delay 2 hander to exploit bow damage bonus can knock the kill time down a bit.

77 stacks x 15 seconds = 19.25 mins of summoning Tolan's arrows. Lol.

Oh wow, one thing i strongly remember about this experience is using true shot twice on a single burrower! Haha! It was a long fight! Had to summon more arrows many times!

If you're a non raider only bow that would make sense for that would be velium reinforced. Everything else is too fast or ~0.5 ratio. Equip a 45+ delay weap and have at it.

But like crede said people shit on KC but basement is basically outdoors HS without the HTs. Shit loot but cardboard mobs with an exp bonus. When my ranger gets to mid 50s it is the first place I'm trying. Probably great for knights too.

Idk lots of names drop items worth 500pp vendor, the turnkey and knight of sathir drop some nice items, you can churn thru jail or rcy and maybe find a tstaff if the 50+ mobs are too difficult.
