Hej dude, nice to see some ppl coming over to hib(cant say that about myself xD ) .. anyway .. Animist should go arboreal .. and about 2 heros .. I dont think thats very good plan .. specialy when NF is about to hit EU :x
and u need light eld 100% .. id say hmm .. bard, warden, druid, druid, bm, eld, chanter, animist .. or mby champ ?! not sure myself kinda .. but I am sure in 1 thing, 2 heroes is not an option for hibs in NF (my oppinion)

 

[Nuked]

either arboreal or creeping, it does'nt matter that much tbh, infact you don't even really need a single animist, they work alot better in groups of 3 or more tbh

 

[grizzy]

the animist is gonna be rolled on a 2nd acc , need it to PL BBs afterwards ;p
FAO : jika , kuida me expama hakkame ilma guardita ;p?????

 

[Divinia]

[Divinia]

Fucking boss keeps me working late hours constant for three months now, sorry..

 

[Valgyr]

Nice grp for both exping and rvr later on: bard 2 druids(both nurt till u rvr) warden(tank spec till u rvr) BM chanter eldy(mana till u rvr) Hero/VWer/other BG char, just PL a ani in fins if u do need 1

 

[grizzy]

thnx , but abut the exping now ... i stopped playing here a lil after the focus pull nerf , cud use some info about best exping spots , and is focus pulling still better than melee ?

 

[Jika]

animist and fins .. its best of the best

 

[grizzy]

yes , but at lower levels ?

Hi,
FPing is still a good way of leveling. With your character class split I would suggest using FPing up untill about 40, then switching to tank pulling -> stacking and pb killing. Fping works alot better with a mana ment for the heal over time while the pet hasnt fully got the mobs aggoed on him. In my opinon you will level alot faster if you sub the animist or warden for a mana ment. Swapping the warden would be less than ideal for rvr and you want to keep the ani for leveling... If it were me id ditch the ani for a mana ment. pl a ani in fins if you want one. Remeber a light menta is also a good pl character with a salamander.


Assuming your using /level characters. ( task outside domanan if your not)

Start with the sprag den but you will grow out of this very fast. by 23-24 after youve finished with thid, fight around druim ailinne this offers good xp yield. Try triebh calite if the mobs are not the right level for you.

At 30 I like fping the glimmer ghoulies just past the entrance to sheroee hills. Careful not to go too far tho, as there are mobs with insane aggro radius in there.

35-40 the coruscating mine would be a good bet

Post 40 if your not powerleveling I would suggest SI if DF is not open.

40->45 I would suggest Vale of balor and fomor city.

There are some very good spots to level 45->50 in cothrom gorge as a fg. In fact there are some spots where you can constantly pull 5-8 red-purp mobs with very little effort and with near instant repop. Your group makeup is very suited towards this.

Very rough guide sorry im at work atm.

Good luck and welcome.

 

[Teiten]

it should be possible for you guys to pull a fun xp group off with 1 hero, 1 bm, 2druids, bard, warden. (the warden could tank ;o)

just level the animist at fins when one of the druids get fop imo

 

[Teiten]

forgot to add that chanter and eld

this is also a group that would work very ok for you in rvr

 

[grizzy]

Well... the setup i came up with is : bard/druid2x/hero/bm/chant/eld/menta (menta gets a warden PLd when the time comes ).
If any1 comes up with another good exping plan , give a go plz

 

[Harle]

Just keep in mind that focus-pulling will be very hard ( if not impossible) once NF hits, so with your tank/PB setup you seem to have the best choice for fast lvling tbh

 

[grizzy]

why's that ?

 

[Harle]

atm when you pull with a pet all the adds will go for the pet. With 1.70 the adds will attack players from the group randomly, as if a player from the group had pulled.

 

[Ballard]

Is this change in 1.70? or 1.71?

It will be harder aye... If youre starting now you should be able to get to 30 or so before this change happens... If you are playing 4-5 hours a night you should bea able to get well into the leveling grind. Anytway whether you are fping or not i think that grp makeup will do fine.

Re: the change:
A good chanter can possible just use the pet to pickup the mobs before they reach the party, esp if the party avoids doing anything to get the aggro.

Also If the mobs are pulled form a distance then the mobs that are coming for your party but arent in range will still hit the nearest party member i.e. the pet and then the focus shield will mean they then aggro the pet. Yes tho it will be harder. Interesting to see how this will change will effect leveling...

warden is a must in grp ! .. and u may leave hero out for good .. hero is useless in NF .. u can make many good setups for NF tho ..

bard/2xdrood/warden <- thats basic .. and after u got these .. u can start building up rest of the grp .. 'damage dealers'
Also in NF .. light eld with nearsight is more like must also
so .. that will make .. bard / 2 x druid / warden / light eld / .. then u should add 1 damage dealer as tank .. and id say BM is best tnx to his BL abilities .. so > bard / 2 x druid / warden / light eld / bm .. and 2 rest u can take random .. light menta or champ (if u take champ, u will have 2 BG'ers and 2 mages ;o ) .. or u can always take animist or smth instead of champ etc ..

but i'd say smth like .. bard/2xdrood/warden/light eld/bm/light menta?/champ

 

[Valgyr]

bard/2xdrood/warden/light eld/bm/light menta?/champ

dont forget VWer as nuking BG char so V usefull when hainging bk with his caster

 

[grizzy]

jika , i dont want it to be a good setup for NF at the 1st place , it will take plenty of time for us to get ourselves SCd/MLd , so like 1 or 2 chars can be rerolled with PL , kinda want a setup that can provide fast lvling and for doing most arti encounters

 

[Mithryn]

Then quit listening to them

For a good solid group you would like a shieldtank, so get a hero in one of those spots. You wont "gimp" any group by doing a splitspec hero in one of the spots, he can still BG and slam/grapple things getting close, he can run siege (yes, it will be done in NF), he can do good damage with 2H LW/spear and he can soak up alot of damage if needed. BM is a better choice for pure tank for RvR cause of the BL abilities and charge, but hero is still a very strong choice when you wanna combine RvR and PvE.

 

[fortunefish]

druid - full heal
druid - full buff
bm - positionals
warden - pbt base buffs
bard - end regen
ment - crack and dmg
champ - 50 shield (blockbot)
champ - whatever

imo champ roxors

If u want to farm artis easily menta (light or mana) and mana chanter will do it nicely.

 

[Boni]

Focus pulling is not a great option for a full group these days, the focus shield doesnt do as much damage as it used to resulting in slow kills. An ok option for small groups because you can work on lower con mobs where the shield will do ok dmg.

Forget what the noobs are saying about fins too, the spots are camped and filled with idiots. 13 million per purple mob at lvl 50 is wank exp, there are places where you can get 5-6 times that for ONE mob. Its just an insta pop sight so lazy exp.

Make a decent pb group, and roam round dungeons all doing your job and not afk, more fun, and if you have a non afk group it will be as fast as fins.

Oh and swap out one of your chanters for a mana eld, then respec him to light at 50 when you are done with exp/farming.
