Hey, thanks.

To continue progression story - my team was able to clear every mob up to the sleeper so I'm thinking i'll start trying PoFire named when I see them up. I attempted the sleeper but was overwhelmed so I didnt get him locked down. i'll get him next time.

I've started focusing on how to get more out of less and have found that keeping my team ready for coh while the key players clear trash is the only way to go... it prettymuch eliminates the room for error from distractions. Maybe soon i'll have the ability to skip trash when I get COH up on my Rogue.

There was a problem in sleepers where I couldnt give my bot an item because a trigger had us on aggro and I eventually ended up trying to relog to give the bot the item. When I got back I was aggro again and couldnt spawn my bot.... Long story short, I moved my bot spawn hotkey to #1 and spammed it as I was spawning from another relog and the bot came up fine - even though I couldnt hand off the much needed item. I got my rogue the LDON dagger, dropped in a letter of forgotten memories and Sharp Blade, and the bot is pulling 2kdps buffed. I'm hoping that the +Piercing face aug will add some base attack for a little extra bump. The bot is an instrumental part of the group.

My life has changed since Bront's tip. I owe him gold.


DS.
Thanks for the memories.

Skipping trash in ST is great on a rogue, as nothing sees SoS in that zone. However, if you have the group and the time it's worth your time as the pieces for the charm quest drop there, and more augs never hurt anyone if you're remembering to pick those parts up as well.

Since I haven't updated my progression in a bit I figured it was time to post. Can't let DS have all the fun :). After some help from DS in killing Sontalak (Very grateful for that) and some help from another couple players we are now killing in ST.

I was very surprised at how easy the names are in ST. I was expecting the same jump in difficulty that it was from Kael to ToV (We kind of skipped most of Ssra), but it was actually a very reasonable zone with lots to kill.

I'm excited to start getting some more gear and trying our hand at Sleeper.

I'm flagging my pally so we can have Good vs. Evil duels, Lazy.

Bront, the Glowing Pearl of Extension tip was invaluable.

Muahhahahhaha!! We all know that evil will always triumph.

I still need to get an extension on my sk so that he doesn't get out tanked by crazy little paladins.

If you can tank ST warders, you can probably tank t4 Elemental droppers in PoFire. Once you get a set of Traitor / T4 and some augs you will be good to go for t5 trash farming. My advice is test yourself on the castellans, as they are the hardest. Keep in mind you can invis past them, however, and farm pheonix and stormrider spawns for aug drops. T5 Avatars are a HUGE hurdle, as they hit very hard and very quick. Add in a random mini named that hits those sub 6k ac like a truck as well, and you get a recipe for pain.

Happy Hunting.

Yea, I imagine that the tiers get quicker... im taking my time and giving specific characters individual attention. I'll probably fill in some gaps with LDONs and finish epic 2.0/2.5/Kiss of Life aug my toons before I progress beyond ST.

I think i'll explore why Bront uses a monk instead of a Ranger and gear up Deadspirit.

Magmaton told me why I need a cleric this morning.... sham just couldnt keep up... but then again I didnt use my +AC clickies because I found an opportunity to pull before I was ready =)

Oh, and my guild is going to freakin' hate me. I got a mage to level 70 and keyed for ToV... daily farm = on. Hour crawls = off.

Thanks for the info, Reid.

Yeah, not having some one to dispell that is rough for a single target healer.

You need at least a paladin or a radiant cure clicky handy if you're rolling w/o a cleric.
