The Hidden Forest

Morning THF!

I hurt my back last week carrying a cooler full of beers at last week's Santana concert at Ravinia, Highland Park, IL. It was getting better, then I seem to have aggravated it some more during my Saturday Karate work out. Hardly slept at all on Saturday night. Soaking in a whirlpool on Sunday helped a bit, so I am back to a little better then it felt on Saturday morning.

Now I am sitting at work, thinking about playing THF tonight. Toons are starting to bank those AA, so I am wondering what will the new AA look like and such. The main problem that I am having is DPS. I really don't want to make a wizard and level him, then flag him.

My only other option is Pets, which I seem incapable of keeping alive. Is there any Pet advice for a shaman Pet? Is there any way to improve shaman dps? The shaman dots don't seem to be all that great. I am using shaman to buff, dot and supplement heals, but I feel that shaman is floundering on the dps side.

Shaman dps falls away after 70. They do add a fair bit to melee dps though

Aye I noticed that sham is better then cleric in melee.

Same here cant wait to log back in and yes I have noticed that on Sham's as well

Here I am at work again. Wishing I could install EQ on this laptop. I know it would be hard to explain, why I am beating furiously on the keyboard - lol.

The back is much better now, but about a weeks ago I caught this cold, it makes me cough allot. I think I have the same cold that my wife and daughter had. This cold stayed a long time with my wife and daughter, they got better then I got it. With the heat all the coughing has been rough. It finally feels like it is finally going away.

I have been grinding allot lately HOH. AC is improving nicely. Need work on dps, I am not yet willing to add more tunes to my crew, even though I know that a wizard would fix my DPS shortage. I am by no means done with HOH, I know I have to try some new things. Here is my wish list in no particular order:

1. Those 2 task in THV
2. Raid Auras
3. The top of the tree in SK
4. More raiding
5. Other farming
6. Charm 7.0 Event (got to boss 8 so far - note: bring SK friend)
7. More HOH - hoping for Gladiator II
8. In WOS the melee mitigation pet - (not sure where quest starts there)
9. Looking forward to the Plain of Tactics (Bot equipment?)
10. Any other ideas? (I don't want to do world boss tasks)
