Grouping after level 50 sucks if you can solo.

In the 30s rogues get a tiny mitigation bump for having triple digit agi. It’s equivalent to about an extra 7ac worn and iirc ignores the worn ac cap. Functionally nothing though.

Allegedly they did on live. According to a dev discussing ac formulation before/after combat revamp for sol/pop. May not exist here.

Charisma should let you talk your way outa fights with a memblur style check. And dex should let you walk away with all the big ticket loots.

Beg on aggroed mobs should be chance to rogue evade or drop off aggro entirely fd stule on critical success.

I dunno I had a blast in a KC group with only two necros "healing", me tanking on a war and i think 2 monks and a rogue. Every mob just melted, CC wasn't even necessary as long as everyone assisted. Made like 1.5 yellows in a couple hours.

Shaman can easily solo to 60 yeah, especially with the stupidly easy to get epic, so it's not surprising you enjoy soloing more. Once there's more than one of you at a raid though you're kinda redundant esp if you don't have torp [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Necro + bard is all you need to heal 99% of braindead XP groups.

It's true. I have no idea what clerics are doing to go OOM so much, especially somewhere like KC LCY. I've literally healed there on a ranger before (I was in wolf form, let them believe I was a druid :P).

[magnetaress]

Yep tru!

Ranger healing is no joke if you've got C2 and are dancing your heals between med ticks lol

Yep, grouping generally blows in this game. It blows all game it is just more noticable when you need 4x as much xp for a level suddenly at 50.

I found grouping to be the most enjoying aspect of playing P99, but not on a Shaman.

God help you if you're the main "healer" too. Because everyone will expect you to do everything else you do as well.

Then you have a fast pulling Monk who doesn't check chat for 'lom', so you canni down to 20%, then he complains he doesn't instantly re-hasted as soon as his drops, etc.

I can understand why a lot of Shaman solo instead.

But besides that, grouping is unique in Everquest. No other game comes close to the same experience.
