Pissed off paladinFollow

When OOW came out you could take a good shammy friend go to NC and duo nameds at the Drunt/agressive camp and get level 66-68 spells that were very useful..

NOW with DoDH for 1 level 68 spell you need to do 5 missions for a barely useful spell.. I am level 70 with over 630 AA's including ALL tanking AA's and I can not tank half these missions!!! Sooo although I would like to get my level 68 and 69 spell.. Looks like I will simply live without until SOE comes to the senses and makes a way for those of us not time/Qvic geared to get them..

I resent that getting around these new zones not ONLY takes being invised at all times, but also requires some form of flying.. and of course paladins have no way of doing either..

I go LFG these days and over 75% of the time when I AM invited to a group it is for a Creator DON. Now most of the time the ones asking me are just as SICK of doing them as I am, BUT for those of us not UBER (and I still think I am a decently equipped paladin who plays well BTW: I buff to 12k/2200AC), where else can ya spend 45-90 min and get over 1 AA XP, get the means to buy something useful (still have room for 3-4 more augs), get a shot at VERY USEFUL/VALUABLE trade items and even the random rare item drops are good..

*giggles* At least you have a sword. My Cleric has the same options you do, but he carries a rather gay baton that goes "swoosh" when we swings it at things.

/em dance say shoo shoo nasty Deep Orcess

My Uber self gets eaten alive by BoT so i have you all beat. But i am finding it hard to be a casual player now. It's hard to get anything good with mobs that hit like a raid mob. I mean a dragon like naggy is easy to kill with a group of 6 52's now a days. But now a group of 6 needs to be mega uber to survive. I'll just stick to MM's and sit most of this expansion out. though i do enjoy a good shroud once in a while.

i will add to this rant ;-P

how about the drops from the lvl 68 spell tasks? IMO groups that can pass the last two tasks for this spell just destroy the item they give you. anyone that the drops would be an upgrade for, can't pass the task. IMO that is just stupid.

i think the hard ones for the lvl 68 spell were the 3rd one and the 5th one. I think it was the 3rd that the mob gets harder and harder as it dies. then the 5th one, he has a ton of hp, then despawns, and respawns full hp. i am a decent geared cleric and i was down to 30m when it died.

plus the 6 mobs you have to kill to get to the boss hit like mac trucks, if you don't have a very geared tank, you have to med between each one. and if that is the case, there is no way you can kill the boss. then it dies and it awards us with a 100hp/mana item... what a joke.

i have also done the lvl 70 spell first task, we did it on hard because we wanted to see if it would drop a better item, the mobs were mostly, if not all, red to us, was good exp, but the item reward at the end met my destroy button.

/sigh

I quit playing my paly when she was level 54. I felt insufficient as a tank and just didn't see enough potential to bother getting her AA'd and geared.

More than tanks are impacted by itemization. Bet most of the class forum boards would have that high on their list. I know that Druids (Lvl 70) and Berserkers (lvl 65) are very gear dependent.

IMO, its more accurate to day that soloing has gotten screwed over in general.

a naked 67 sk should be able to tank south wos np =p
