Wait till you get in a close encounter with the P99 bees, then you will change your mind. Till then, hold your horses.

Thank you all for the tips, going to keep them in mind! Part of the reason why I chose SK is due to its slow leveling; I want to enjoy the ride, not at all interested in the raiding end of things here after having witnessed all of the drama on the forums. Currently a grand level 5, wish me luck all.

Just a little advice. If your not deep in roll ogre or troll. I rolled troll for increased regen. And ogre frontal stun immunity. Both races also get slam which can be used with a 2 hander. Im all for roll what race is the funniest for you. Just put that out there incase you didnt.

This is going to be some of your most accessible and effective gear early on. The BP in particular is easy to get:

http://wiki.project1999.org/Dreadscale_Armor

This armor is quested, and some of the items can be looted from corpses of things people are already killing. I had fun doing the quests.

I would echo what was said above with regard to Disease Cloud, that is your staple agro spell, and it will make groups love you when they can do whatever they want and you still keep agro.

Always used disease cloud. costs like 5 mana and is 1 sec cast or something...generates tons of aggro. Else, clinging darkness is pretty good too.

Disease cloud is good for low mana use and will probably always be memmed. It isn't perfect, though. It causes damage (not always desirable, ie mezzed mobs), and has a longish recast. Clinging darkness is also a fairly low-mana spell with good aggo.

The level 39 AC tap (shadow vortex) generates considerable hate and zero damage, making it highly useful for jobs that the other high-hate spells are unsuited for.

The heart flutter/asystole line generates considerable hate but uses a lot of mana so doesn't see a great deal of use.

It should be noted that the two AE spells (the level 30 str debuff and the 49 AE damage) don't generate a whole lot of hate, but they can be useful for gathering up packs of creatures and give other folks time to cast some control spells.

Dark Elf SK is level 18 now, sitting on a full set of banded mail (Tree Weave chest, Skyfire Sword/Dark Reaver via charitable donation).

I've been looking at the Shadowknight recommended gear in the wiki for stuff to shoot for, but it neglects to mention what mid-level gear to try and find. I'd rather not get everything from being twinked from random people passing-by, and I'm not sure how long this banded is going to be adequate.

Any suggestions?

Darkforge. Just be advised you will have to setup your Cazic Thule groups yourself, but it's a nice place to go with solid exp if you have a skilled group, and it is great fun indeed. Don't head there until you're 30ish though, until then, banded then bronze and whatever you can scavenge in the meantime will do the trick, don't worry.

Have fun [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

DarkForge is fairly easy to find and good. If you're an Iksar it will be dreadscale which is easy too.
I advise you skip on blood embert but the BP and legs which are good but ungodly expensive or hard to find.
You will end up trying to get a group/raid in PoF to get Umbral platemail from knights.
