froglok crusader is pretty impressive @ 45, i like it man.. also like the screens

[Tecmos Deception]

Planarity is making me feel like less of a man for getting pl for my necro instead of, well, being a real man.

...

Consequently, I went and got my 29 pet spell for my necro and xferred it to him and ran him over to:

And promptly got beat up by a goo and a coerced gnome at the drop down to level 2 because I haven't played at all in months, or my necro (seriously) ever. Yay Dalnir! God bless HS and FD though. Definitely will get spoiled playing with those.


Second attempt in that room I killed the goo, though almost got adds from outside because even a 3-tick fear and dooming darkness runs them all the way out of the room, but pet got his ass beat and I got a resist on darkness on the gnome so I just feigned him off and let pet die. Then after I got up and medded up while invis, I got another pet up and attacked the gnome. He was just a warrior, and the fight went fine... until he resisted a snare and started fleeing, then resisted another snare, then got a greater heal through a wall while finding a dwarf buddy to come help. I backed off and tipped my cap to my pet as he bought me the time to FD. Then FD failed just as my pet died... lol. But I always roll with FD and HS both loaded on a necro, so I popped HS and medded a couple ticks as FD refreshed and my dots got the gnome back down to 2%. I swapped in my RoA and took two swings to hit him and finish him off, then I feigned off the dwarf add and laughed to myself.

How this zone endeared itself to me back in the day, as I leveled here as a 25-30+ enchanter with a druid and a monk buddy along, I will never know [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Planarity is a pro in the making.

King is also a doable camp at 50, and becomes much easier at 51 with ToT. I used to do it to take breaks from nobles. The exp is fairly mediocre, but the money is great for that level.

Nice work Planarity. Although I'm kind of curious, did your ex pet kill you after charm broke right after Crusader kill?

Also, props on your Velious UI. I'm using the same myself and loving it, except the AA bar letters when you hit 51 kind of blocks the actual xp bar. I definitely need to get those classic icons though. Noticed you were missing the actual mana numbers on your inventory screen. If you want them, I project1999.orged it and found a simple solution:

Step 1: Go to UI folder default_old.
Step 2: Copy EQUI_Inventory.xml
Step 3: Go to the UI folder you use.
Step 4: Paste.
Step 5: Mana.

Good luck to you sir.

Thanks for the tip. I tried this--it worked and I like being able to see the mana, but it also makes the inventory window much bigger. I may have to tweak the xml of the velious one to include it.

Unless crusader was changed, he wasn't actually healing himself. there are two spawns near him (left and right from your screenshot) that you want to check for healers before you kill crusader, otherwise they will heal him. from what i remember, crusader just despells you over and over as you kill him.

edit nice kill tho

He was definitely healing himself. A lot. The shaman and then the wan knight next to him were my two pets for the fight. I don't think any of the other shamans were in range of him.
[Sat Dec 07 08:42:05 2013] a froglok crusader regains concentration and continues casting.

Crusader is a paladin, so he will cast heals when either a player or pet is in melee range. I found that when no healers are spawned at the 2 spawns to left/right before crusader and you stay out of melee range while keeping it rooted and he wont heal himself( little harder to root/dot as an ench lol.) He also uses LoH at low health if hes engaged by a player/pet at melee range. That specific area of guk sucks in particular due to the healers/buffers helping mobs through the wall but I'm fairly sure if you engage a mob that's out of range of friendly healers and stay out of melee range they won't heal themselves. Atleast they never used to when I hunted there on tass; I haf a nice little farming/exping cycle lol I went from evil eye to noble to king/tact to herbalist then finished with crusader before returning to EE.

ah right, i forgot healers wont heal when nothing is in melee range. that's the difference

Next kill for which I have a screenshot: Kobold King in solb.
Was relatively straightforward, though annoying that he dots everything. he doesn't have a pet like the wiki says he does. Pulling him with all three royals rooms full pop with see invis mobs was annoying--had to use bind sight to get targets on everything for calms. Even then, some adds came that I had missed.
