Question about getting pl'd

[Arteker]

necromancers are best for casters

[Lazortag]

An enchanter could chain stun the mobs for a pbae, but a Bard could also pbae snare them and finish them off once they get to <50% hp, since Bards have their own pbae's. So the Bard provides the best PLing by far (this isn't just true for wizards but any effective pbae class (clerics, bards, necros, etc.)).

I PLed my own wizard in oasis one morning (had Bisch play the wizard actually hehe). Just pulled the whole zone and summoned a pet to kill runners. Got 2 levels/pull or so.

My personal opinion tho is that Druids are best <20 because a L60 monk just won't be able to do less than 100 damage a round anyway. And even with pulling the whole zone it won't match the xp of killing all red con L30 mobs.

Agree, Heallun knows his stuff, fantastic power leveller!

Thanks everyone for all of the information.

Heallun rezzed my necro in Highkeep the other day, I like him [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

From 1 up to somewhere around 20-30: bard and ench are the best PL for an at-least-somewhat-twinked wizard up to somewhere between 20-30. I'm not sure exactly how high level of mobs can be tanked in large numbers when this method would stop working well without some... creativity.


30+: A SK or a necro would be best.

A 49+ mage or a well-geared monk could probably do very well too, though, so long as you fight stuff that is near the wizard's level so that he can finish off the 5-10% mobs with 1 nuke. I mean, if you think about a level 34 wizard killing spectres (just an example) with a mage/monk, he can nuke for 320 for only 160 mana, and specs only have under 2k hp. You can med 160 mana, without c or anything, in about a minute. A level 30-40 wiz killing a level 33-37 mob every minute nonstop is going to be a damn solid PL. If you could get a clarity or work out some AE kill or use a smaller nuke on mobs that the monk/mage gets down under 5%, it'd only get better.

I just doubt it can work right up to 20th level with Enchanter. At 750 AC with a 52 Druid, with fungi and chloro, it starts to become difficult to pull that many mobs and survive the hits long enough for your powerlevelee to kill them off, even when they are DS'd. I still don't think you're going to hit 600 AC with an Enchanter... but maybe I'm just going about this the wrong way. Obviously you could survive long enough chain stunning for 2 minutes (if you can get them off between bashes) with maximum mana for an AOEer to blow their mana. I guess if an Enchanter is all you have, that's what you have to work with. So it's probably possible, but is it worth it?

[Namegen_Isterrible]

I think that's a terrible comparison, Slave, for many reasons.

1. 8 levels is a much bigger difference when talking about tanking level 20 mobs than a couple hundred AC is.

2. Rune is awesome.

3. Stun is even more awesome.

4. Druids PL by inviting hits (and probably higher-damage hits) by sitting to get more DS damage. The enchanter is just going to be standing there getting missed the vast majority of the time, and when he does get hit he's gonna get hit for low damage the vast majority of the time.

Do you know that for sure? My level 60 int caster can't really stand up and take that kind of punishment against even just 5-10 level 20 mobs at 575 AC. I know because I've done a bit of PL that way. Those 8 levels must really mean a lot, from +32 to +40 levels, and I've somewhat seen that in action but not to that degree.

This just makes me question the whole AC system. Do we even have parses on how effective it is on people of the same level? Can of worms!
