Drognor and others have suggested that we hang out and get groups going more often, most notibly in UP. Not a bad place for exp, and some really nice armor drops there. Tues a group will be going there around 9EST. We'll see about additional groups there in the future also.
I have been hunting UP for sometime now as well as Drognor. With a group of our high levels we can easily take the mini-bosses (ex: Shadowry Assasin, Dark Master) I have pulling there for about a week and i love it. There is great exp and a ton of good drops. I honestly though would not suggest zone for anyone under 50... I know a lot of people want upgrades but if we get to many people are groups will be unevenly matched up and we could run into problems. Last time we had a lot of people come and not enough of the key characters there .. In UP a Shm,Ench are a must for slowing mobs. Last time it was great so many showed up to have fun however we were limited to what we could do due to levels and classes we had. This zone is very mean and if we get a whole bunch of people to show up i dont want to have to worry about trying to even out groups to share exp because that could lead to death. But i am down for anything ill be there tonight from 4-6 then from 8-on.. Pulling in this zone depending on where we camp is very tricky not only is there paving problems but mobs also pop respawn quickly and are often hidded around rocks and trees and sometimes even blend into the backgroud. I always sneak pull and it works out great. So I'll see ya all tonight. Hopefully it will not be as packed as it has been lately. I know roughly 6 safe pull sites so 1 is bound to be open. See you all on tonight
well when i get back and able to play again i would enjoy doing UP with you guys. in reguards to the dark masters i know for a fact tese are at least lvl 60 mobas if not higher. i saw a group of all 60's take these guys on and no one died but they didnt do all that great. i am aleays up for some fuin and a new adventure so when i get back and you are in need fro an old broken down druid i will be there.
Yep they are mean SOB's but we took them out with a group of mid 50s... I have been in some erally geat groups up there annd have learned all the secrets to killing the mobs and the mini bosses.....
Gonna type up some tips for UP since i might be a little late tonight.
Fermund the cheeseman UP survival guide
1st... When a mob enrages if you have agro stop attcaking until either: You lose agro or the mob becomes unraged. All other melees should keep attacking unless agro switches to them.
2nd... The mobs must be slowed. This is very important. Enchanter and Shaman slows work
3rd.. Casters prepare to be summoned. Any spell that lands you have a high chance to be summoned. Sitting down will also get you ssummoned now and again. ....... To be a big help for your melee meatshields and to make sure you live do not run away because it will be harder to get agro back. Have faith in your taunter or backstabber and in worse case scenario you healer. Usually after a summon it takes one taunt or one backstab to change agro
4th.. It is very tricky to pull, the mobs pop fast also they like to hide behind trees and rocks. It is very easy to get adds. Also the paving is very messed up in several places
5th When fighting Dark master, his DS must be removed He does have a ton of HPs around 32k i believe. BUt can be done easily with a grp of 55's..
6th... I dont like pulling the Moktar Sholijun, they are Shamans and they cast a mean slow also they tend to run when low health and can cause adds. No other mobs run in this zone.
7th.. The assasins also cast, they are a wierd hybrid... They backstab you, they snare and try to blind and fear.. The only thing i have ever had land on me was snare.. Which seems to land on everyone
Thats all for now, if I think of anything else i'll add it feel free to add stuff or ask ?'s
Omegga will be there.
Sounds fun, but I can't make it till late 
Cleric perspective: For my brief stint as healer on one or two occasions, I would agree with everything Fermund said about the fights. I was getting summoned pretty often when I would try to sit and med, but they would rarely strike me on the summon, unless of course I had really pissed them off with the heals. When I did get agro, it was pretty brutal. I would suggest clerics keep at least one DA loaded. I strongly support the call for Shaman or Enchanter slows. Without them, the tanks get beat up pretty quick and it ends up being a big mana drain for clerics. Cleric DS (Mark of Retribution) and pet seem to work pretty good here. Wondering how well Mark of Karn would work here, since for the most part the mobs hit hard and fast. Would highly suggest a dispel before slowing - can be done by cleric but perhaps others would perform that better.
bah u guys always do this stuff too late for me except on weekends lol
