yeah kind of an odd "out the ass" number imo

id still rather sit back, relax, and chill with 1 hasted / weaponized / kitted pet with a cleric CHing it as it tears through a zone

Hasted weaponized pet shreds. In a kunark zone I can believe it. I tried it at frenzy but the spiders have too much hp, there's not enough of them and respawn timer is too long for it to justify the xp penalty. In places like HS where it is mostly empty it could work especially with a healer duo but even with like a monk sidekick it works. Haste+weapon is a sword of damocles hanging over your head though, without a healer when charm breaks it is pretty much catching a falling knife if you aren't used to it.

I'm not sure what's the name of the technique where you send a charmed pet into a pack of mobs and then root everything, kill pet when it gets low, recharm something and repeat until everything is dead... but so far that's the fastest way I've found to exp solo. Faster than taking the 50% exp hit on a uber pet but more work. If you can TOT it has minimal downtime.

yeah that works great in HS because you're using the mob harm touches to do your bidding

my favorite setup was swarmcaller + tome of the eternal, adamantite bands, rusty spiked pads, and tola robe on a bok or krup knight in sebilis....just an absolute lawnmower of death and dont even have to cast slows

cleric stun backup was rather important on those breaks

solo i never weaponized unless i had to kill a named

Yeah seen a dude run the same setup with a cleric but he had staff of undead legion instead of swarmcaller. That thing ripped. I'm not sure what's the NPC DW hit rate. Usually I just dump a wonderous rapidity on them, bit more mana intensive than a torch but less inventory management. Probably about the same DPS and it works on non-humanoids.



I read some necros say they like KC basement solo better than HS and with my play times I can't really afford the HS wings general fuckery so I figured I'd give the VKR camp a go on my 58 chanter.

There was already a group there so I figured I'd buff them and leave but they invited me. Bah why not, I told myself, I'm already here. The monk was pulling 4-8mobs per pull and pulling nonstop, stayed a little over an hour and got 10% exp. By any metric that's pretty good. I'll maintain that LCY/RCY usually sucks but basement can be decent if your group is not asleep at the wheel. As the chanter it was a lot of work but I didn't mind, I don't group much so it was nice to practice heavy crowd control but if you like to semi-afk YMMV.

I think repopularising is working. The other day there were zero players in KC.

Nice to see Videri successful in getting his hole filled.
