[Dvaerg]

Spec AF was around 75 if i remember correctly.
The Haste is blue, but who cares yellow haste pots are as good as red imo, just need to get the right Quickness into temp

 

[BloodOmen]

if the free spec AF is 75 thats not bad tbfh, lacks buffbonus but meh its a free buff thats rather nice.


Edit: so who fancies pl'ing me a luri ns + buffbot on ywain. - even if its just to 45-46!

Questing. There are mobs which you have to kill right outside the PK, is pretty neat. The 45-49 BG is a bit slower though, although the layout reminds me of OF Emain in a way. Either way, level 40+ seems mega easy right now.
