Could someone elaborate on the combat bind wound?

Its something like:
/pause 2, /target "yourname"
/pause 2, /doability 1(or where ever you have bind wounds at)
/pause 2, /stand
/pause 2, /target a (mob name)
/attack on

You can skip the target mob name and just manually target too

All this solo "go get 'em tiger" chatter (cool posts Pilsner and mool :)) has me considering coming back to Blue on my iksar necro. Thing is, I got him to 54 and just kinda... lost my way? I don't know high end EQ and did not have any interest in raiding. I'm totally into the idea of playing twinked alts, which is partially why I rolled necro. A great, versatile class that can easily solo farm a bunch of fun twink gear for my future empire of alts.

He's got the tools he needs from when I spent a few weeks going hardcore on EC Tunnel item flipping for cash: Jboots, CoS, and lots of INT and AC gear.

I guess I'm just wondering, what should I go do with this guy at 54? Are there spells I get between 54-60 that utterly change the game for necro that I should push for higher levels? What are some fun item farms that a necro could solo at that level? Looking for ideas.


My Garbage Mage is still like level 51, and down to duo.

I know Welt did Felwithe guards from like 50-something to like 58. Thats a big necro camp. Good cash.

I used half of this and did the re-target and resume attacking myself, seem to work smoother

I have been toying around with the idea of soloing a rogue or necro on red. My main is a super under geared warrior parked at 51 because i'm in KC, and don't have friends to port me around. I usually log in see if there is a group, and if there is play if not log off.

I would advise doing the re-targeting manually also with a super quick tab + attack, the game is slow to do it via a macro. Here's the macro I used when I played:

/pause 3, /tar Zliz
/pause 1, /doability 1
/stand

If you have very low ping, you might be able to use /pause 2 in the first line, just experiment and see if it's reliable.

Can anyone recall if this was possible in real Classic times?

99% sure it was not possible. Bind wound got interrupted if you did anything, got hit, moved, etc. I remember trying to figure out ways to make it work on my rogue. Even using throwing weapons would make it fail.

Even as it is on P99, it feels veryyy glitchy to use. I recall my monk on Red and having to be super picky about when to push buttan because otherwise the macro just wouldn't work.

Sure is sweet once you get the rhythm down though!

Oh, and speaking of Rogue and Monk soloing, don't forget the wonder of Sneak pulling. When sneaking, you can throw at a mob, and the surrounding mobs will not assist you if you are indiff to them (due to sneaking and being behind them). It makes for a super easy pulling.

When I tested not so long ago, the Skipping stone still provided..... a certain benefit, shall we say, that made it great for throwing.

This server is never going past Velious.

It will probably be another year before they even get to the last Velious updates(Chardok 2.0, CT 2.0, Stonebrunt Mountains).

When Velious finally came out there was talk of a new "fresh" server that would start with classic and go through the two expansions over a certain timeline, but I doubt that ever happens either.

Give your wealth away to goons who still play!

PS: You are actually a poor, but I wish you well on getting other people banned. If you want to stop playing just stop, no need to get all sweat-of-my-brow about it. The cool thing about this server is that anyone with a modicum of nostalgia can spend the hours and get involved and some fraction of the people that just try to buy in without it get stopped. That's really the only unique thing about it among EQ servers at this point.

To be fair, most people in DAP are there to earn cash while porting. Maybe he was a tad quick to insult...but I'd feel quite slighted for all that effort. I'm not sure if it's a fair reference...but when I was active on P99 I wouldn't tip less than 100p for a single person port, and those were often with me already at the pickup spot. If you've got cash for WR bags and presumably some twink items in them, don't be a stingy dick on port delivery services.

TLDR; tip more.

From what my guild told me, it is level based. I pay 25pp for a port and this seems to cause no complaints. I extrapolated from there, and asked the guy whether that was what he expected beforehand, rather than trying to rip him off.

I never assumed what the tip would have to be, hence the question. I never contested it was too low. I just object to the way people sometimes exhibit poor social skills in an environment that is, to me, basically a chat channel with a neat GUI.

Luclin owns and AA is a great system that I wish more games had adopted.

A lot of people hate Luclin because the Nexus portals shrunk the world down a bit (if you sat at them for 0-15 minutes and waited), Luclin added a new race and so it has it's own leveling path and that was the point where items started getting pretty absurd.

I never really got the complaints about the Nexus portals though because they just ported you to Wizard spires. It wasn't like they added a bunch of new locations to port to/from. I guess if you were a Wizard you lost a lot of plat from porting but I think Druid ports were still useful.

I don't really get why the community thinks vanilla-Velious is "classic", for me it was Vanilla-PoP; fighting the gods made sense to me as the end of the "classic" era. Once WoW came out EQ got a little absurd, although OoW was nice.

Short story? PoK, Bazaar and AAs.

Personally, it felt weird that the expansion was like "we're going to the mooooooooooooooon!" And I didn't like the BL class.

I really enjoyed the Nexus Portal system, where they sound off before they port, you hail them for the port key and you get ported when the spell goes off. I liked AAs as a thing to grind after lvl cap. I really, really liked the NO DROP items littered all over and most people giving that poo poo away (which I eventually did when I started doing those zones).

Also, after Luclin was PoP and that was sick as gently caress.

Playing on Phinny, I admit to liking Luclin raiding in that the zones aren't 10 miles of nothing to run across to get to the raid. And that's with bard speed.

The bazaar is much better than the stupid EC tunnel poo poo, and AAs always give you something to do. I'd agree that the moon as a location feels a bit odd, but it's EQ, so it's really just another set of squares to run around in.

New models always have been and always will be poo poo though, and anyone who says otherwise is just wrong :colbert:

I kinda wish there was a goon presence on the Al'kabor Server. It goes up to PoP. I feel like that would be fun, and it has a ton of zones I've never really messed with.

I tried it for a bit, but it has some obvious issues like peak time is like ~150 people. Also the client is weird and you can't zone out with the middle mouse button

Besides all the aliens in the end it was a p good xpac imo.

When I played on live originally, the first time I got into "high end" raiding content while it was "current" was in Luclin and therefore that will always be my favorite expansion. I started playing as Kunark came out so I was never high enough to do that content before Velious was released and then when I eventually got into Velious raiding it was already old news and everyone was geared to the teeth, sleeper was released, etc. Racing other guilds for Ssra bosses, burrower, Vex Thal aliens, etc are some of my favorite gaming memories ever.

Farming the parts for the Vex Thal key on the other hand, not so much.
