I really want to re-sub but my computer died and I'm currently using my 8+ year old computer that can barely run the game, never mind trying to dual box. I'll probably end up doing it anyway though!

I should soon have the funds to upgrade to gold and start playing this game seriously :( again. The Fableds will be up until April 15th correct? Most of the pet weapons are found in PoP right? What level will I need to get to before April 15th so I can snag one of those? 61ish if I remember?

Probably gonna start a SK, but I'm not sure.

Edit: Also, to those who have successfully transferred off of test... Should I wait till I'm upgraded to gold to put in a petition? Do I have to put in a petition using my character on test, or can I do it with any character on my account? How long did it take from your first petition, to when you actually got the transfer? Thanks!

Here's a start: source http://crucible.samanna.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=52

First:
Run 5
Mental Clarity 3
Cannibalization

First Part 2:
Level to 70.

Critical:
Spell Casting Mastery 3 (10% mana savings on all spells, all the time. Shaman are a lot of things, but no matter what, we're casting spells. This AA makes you 10% better at everything you do)

Critical Part 2:
If you haven't yet, level to 70. Then get

Call of the Wild (AA rez)

Next, core enhancements:
Nothing to say about these. Get them and don't sass me, boy.

Natural Durability 3
Combat Agility 3
Spell Casting Reinforcement 3
Spell Casting Reinforcement Mastery

Break for utility good stuff:

Radiant Cure 1 (rank one is cheap and clears Tash / other minor things. further ranks are good, but good mostly if you're in the process of spending 46 more points to max it out. Just one rank for now.)

Virulent Paralysis 3

Mnemonic Retention (ninth spell gem. nuf said.)

Healing:
Quick Buff 2 (assuming you have a Spell Haste focus. Rank 3 is good, I have it, but many opt not to spend 9aa on it right away since the gains don't stack well with spell haste focus for the last rank)
Healing Adept 3
Advanced Healing Adept 3
Healing Adept Mastery 3
Healing Gift 3
Advanced Healing Gift 3
Healing Gift Mastery 3
Healing Boon 3
Ancestral Aid 3
Expansive Mind 5

Survivability:
Lightning Reflexes 5
Reflexive Mastery 5
Combat Stability 3
Innate Defense 5
Defensive Instincts 5
Spell Casting Subtlety 3
Swift Journey 2
Mystical Attuning 5
Channelling Focus 3

Damage AA:
Some damage AA you have already, without having thought about it. SCRM and Quick Buff are all the damage enhancement that Maw spells are going to get, and you already have those from way back

For our primary damage mode:
Critical Affliction 3
Improved Critical Affliction 3
Secondary Forte (Conjuration)

For our secondary (way secondary) damage mode:
AllthenukecritAAsIdon'tcareabout, rank 12

Raid AA:
These you'll get depending on how much you care about killing high end mobs with savage abilities that kill people:

Radiant Cure 3
Resplendent Cure 3
Hastened Curing 3
Mass Group Buff
Spiritual Channelling

Does anyone know of a necro AA guide? I'm level 58 now, so I'll need to get started on them soon.

Oh, apparently they changed the actual transfer mechanics so you physically can't transfer off Test for the time being. Maybe they'll offer it again and I can move my SK a some point.

I really hope so. I'm so pissed I didn't get my monk off there.

Working on my 1.0 right now as a 70 Necro. Everything is cake except for the Slime Blood of Cazik Thule. Fear is pretty much perma-camped and the people who do this wanted to charge 25k for a useless item that its ONLY used for Necro 1.0 (which in itself is useless besides nostalgia's sake).

On test, I have an 85 monk with like 2.5k AA's, J5 merc, and raid gear from 2 or 3 expansions ago. I might actually play if some goons wanted to group up.

I'm gonna have my new computer within a week and then I am gonna BEAT EQ! But seriously, I wanna make a 3box team, and wreck poo poo. I'm thinking SK, Shaman, Mage.

Any news on getting off test? I still have my monk and enchanter there, and I'd love to get them off.

RCarr
Dec 24, 2007

I'm interested in that as well. Thinking about making a box army on Test.

RCarr
Dec 24, 2007

So I've started a SK/Shaman/Bard 3box on Test. Currently all level 30. Can anyone point me toward a good Shadowknight forum that explains the class well? I've never even played a Tank, nevermind a SK. Shaman should be pretty straightforward, and I don't think Bard could be that hard to play, especially with /melody. (What level can bards use /melody anyway?). I feel like there is a lot of info that I need to know to play SK efficiently.

Also, I have a Monk and Mage that I could swap the bard out for? Any thoughts on that? Either one would add a lot of DPS, but I don't know if it's worth losing the bard's utility.

Edit: Also is there anywhere that explains how to set up macro's for multiboxing? I have no idea how to do that.

Editx2: I guess EQplayers.com doesn't really exist anymore. Is there any way to search toons by name to see what level they are, without actually logging on?

Dec 24, 2007

Thanks for the info. It definitely got me thinking. The only thing I didn't see mentioned regarding the shaman was the (Panther?) line of buffs that cause proc damage. I was under the assumption that this was a huge dps boost, and was one of the main reasons to box a Shaman. Am I over-valuing this aspect?

I already have a 85 chanter, so I can add him into the mix whenever my crew reaches that level. I believe he's on the same account as the bard I'm leveling, so I'll be able to swap them out according to the situation. I guess I'll stick with the shaman for now. At the very least, I'll have him as a buff bot.

Here is my crew right now:

Account 1- 85 Monk
Account 2- 85 Enchanter, 75 Mage, 30 Bard (NEW)
Account 3- 30 Shadow Knight (NEW)
Account 4- 30 Shaman (NEW)

I don't want to play more than 3 toons at once, so maybe I'll PL a Wizard on the first account, or a perhaps another mage as I will probably always be playing either the Chanter, or Bard on account #2.

This is getting confusing now! Any other thoughts or input is welcome!

Perfect! That's exactly what I needed. I'm aware of the gear/AA dependency for SK's. I've never played one and am tired of seeing how badass they are. It's time to experience this for myself. I'll have a full group with my 3box+mercs, so I shouldn't have a hard time camping augs.

RCarr
Dec 24, 2007

Well if I went with SK/Sham/Bard, with 2 dps mercs (or 3 if the Shaman can handle heals), that's 4 out of 6 (or 5 of 6) group members meleeing. That seems worth it no? Or are the caster dps mercs better?

Apparantly you can now /testcopy with plat too and any tradable items are still tradable on test. So you can copy over, hand off all your plat to an alt, then repeat until you have 100 billion plat or whatever. It's also very easy to get fun gear like AoN's, etc.
