Why is this camp still on the per-level hunting guide lmao.

You might try a bouncer if no spec

That's not the hard part in my experience, and I've tried it on several different classes. I could genuinely believe a twinked melee with a fungus tunic, ton of HP, etc. would prob do well against her. A Rogue could backstab her while she is casting, maybe even occasionally get some fears off.

What gets me is, I will have a streak where I farm her like clockwork for 2 hours, and then a random Cyndreela spawns that resists almost everything I throw at her, even if I tash her first, by the time I kill her (and I usually do), I have two DoTs on me that I cannot survive and have no way of removing. I imagine Necromancer and Shamans could do a better job on her between being able to lifetap skeletons and remove these ailments, but Wizards, Enchanters, Magicians etc. are going to run into a lot of problems.

What I discovered is that even if I kill her for two hours straight, that single death sets me back to having less experience than I had before. And honestly the randomly ultra resistant Cyndreelas prob happen more often than every 2 hours. I remember when I finally hung my hat up it was because I realized I now had lost so much experience on her that I actually had more experience a week ago when I was doing ramps in City of Mist and decided it isn't worth it.

Ench should have an easy time. You can either stun or cast a quick low level mez on her to disrupt casting.

Mage has their pet, although have to be careful not to pull aggro.

i would have 2-3 hour streaks where i would kill her on cooldown, but then random ones where she resists literally everything, even though i usually still kill her, by this point i have DoT's on me that are fatal (Im not twinked)

I havent played on P99 since around the time I made this thread, but I do plan on trying to use a charmed pet next time that way.... I dont have to worry as much about aggro

i was using animation just because my animations can solo specters, so it was nice to have the luxury of going afk and not worrying about my pet or low level dry bones runnning up and beating me and having to waste mana to deal with them

but for science whenever i get back on p99 i will experiment with charm and this camp more (specters is camped a lot of times, but may try a bouncer)

i forgot to emphasize here, like, at 50+ the exp is so slow that that one death kind of sets you back to the exp you were when you started, and in a few instances when i got back to the camp, the super spawn cyndreela was up still and killed me again, like actually had to log on my necro to kill her

i love a good troll as much as everyone, but at a certain point the inside joke needs to be more obvious

it's such an amazing camp, but why is it never camped? Why aren't youtubers fawning over how amazing this camp is?

Serious question.

I basically leveled my druid doing these types of 'camps'. Why? Because emptying my mana bar with nukes as evoke spec was unironically the most efficient way for me to level because I work remote. I did not have time to do anything lengthier than a quad kite or a kill and afk camp. I basically did this 1-60 with very few exceptions.

I would also wonder if you even need a pet as the Ench. Mez, tash, root (do you need root or will she always just stand back and nuke)...then nuke her, use a GCD cooldown to quickly cast your low level mez on her, nuke again, repeat. Depending on your mana pool I would think you could just totally nuke her down with using mez to interrupt her casts.

I also leveled a lot of characters completely solo vaguely using that guide and other sources. I just think that camp in particular ls misleading, and I don't think the average level 45-50 anything is going to roll up and kill her with ease, lol. (Read "average," not mega twinks). Like there's a reason you never see it camped IMHO.

I actually watched a level 52 Necromancer on youtube really struggling kill her as well and he has a lot more tools for survival and offense than a Shaman or Enc of similar level. I imagine Magicians and Wizards run into similar problems where they get the random highly resistant Cyndreela, get dot'd up and simply die since the dots can't be dispelled and ignore runes.

It's been a few weeks since I did it. For the most part I was using root, and mez and stun, and trying to spam nukes. But when I run into the elite Cyndreela's Tash gets resisted and pretty much everything gets resisted. I will usually kill her, but I'm so DoT'd up that I die anyways. I rarely ever get melee'd by Cyndreela.

Also even on some of the easier Cyndreela spawns, she kills my animated pet. Same pet makes quick work of spectres. Think the main thing with spectre might be that it ... maybe could hold aggro better? Probably not though because it's going to die really fast, which is going to become an issue when Cyndreela is resisting everything I throw at her. And these are pre-buff Cyndreelas too, like I try to attack her as soon as I see her pop, but you just get those random badass Cyndreelas.

Maybe the camp was more happening when there was a ton of Clerics AFK camping spectres who could toss out buffs or rez you if need be. It also may have been way better exp 45-50 than it is at 51+ but I also feel like she would wreck the heck out of a lot of level 45-50 players lol.

IDK. I wanted to like the camp though because it's unique and a peaceful area, decent loot etc. but on two separate characters now I literally lost exp at a rate that would de-level me if I wasn't careful. I'm sure the full skyshrine twinks are prob confused by what I'm saying right now.

If you're looking for a chill camp that you can use up until the low 50s, cruise on over to Island 15 (IIRC on the number) on the map in Lake Rathe. Kanthurn and Taia Lyfol (SP?) are a Rogue and Pally respectively. Both factionless single pull 6:40 spawns. Don't drop any loot though.

Taia can be a bit annoying with healing herself but easy to interrupt if you have the ability to do so. Very chill completely safe camp and Lake Rathe is a nice, peaceful feeling zone.

The barb guards in Everfrost (not the gate guards - there are two single spawns on one of the canyons out into the tundra, and one single spawn up by where the dude and his pet are north of there (think it's Snowflake or whatever the dog is named?)). You can usually get through 54 or 55 on those guys and I think they drop an FS 2 hander each time. This can be more camped, especially on Green I believe, but very chill camp and every now and then someone running to the IGs might pass by and buff you.

BB dwarf guards (the level 45 ones not the few level 50s) are very safe camps too. You'll just need some form of CC to split the pairs. Druid ring beta neutral vendor right there to sell all the weapons and armor you'll loot. I remember I did this on an Ench until like level 55. Starting with the dock guards and doing a full circle through the various huts, ending at Druid ring to vendor and then running north to the dock guards again. There are a couple huts where there's a level 50 Dwarf inside who may aggro if you kill them next to the hut so make sure you pull them away. Very safe and chill.

Tash is unresistable, isn't it? If your magic based mezzes and stuns are getting resisted every time, how are you killing her with magic based nukes? Why are they not getting resisted every time? How many times do you cast mez before you give up and start nuking?

Don't bother with root. Don't bother with stun. Don't even bother with tash. Just cast mez until it lands.
