It's a perfect day for some mayhem!


Are wardens still kickin' rad helperbots that are second only to bards for being loved?

Or are they just subpar healers with heavier armor?

It's a perfect day for some mayhem!


One of the few PvE things I remember is there being a fairly hard end game mob with a good loot table and the trash that spawned him all being single pulls in the bottom of a hib dungeon in the way, way, way back somewhere. At the time, which was vanilla DAOC, they were all mobs with big rear end 2 handed weapons with a swing time of 3.5 seconds. Hit like goddamn TRUCKS, but only every 3.5 seconds. I vaguely want to say they were skeletons or bears or something. Either way, we quickly figured out that anything with that long of a swing timer is easily abused.

We ended up parking my warden and 1 other both with the bladeturn chants sync'd to 3 second intervals. And whatever DPS classes wanted to show up could contribute easily. It was slow, but unless you hosed up and pulled two, you were invincible. And I got a good chunk of cash for just sittin there humming my bubble.

They eventually got fixed to not be so easily abused, but it was fun while it lasted.

I also remember a dungeon in north hib somewhere for mid levels, 25ish maybe, that had giant crabs in the bottom. Infinite giant crabs. Two days spent killing giant crabs.

Upon some searching on Allakhazam, I remember why. Crabs have a sweet loot table. 4 good pieces of jewelery, a full set of reinforced armor, a sword with an on-use nuke and a pretty rad cape.
