The Hidden Forest

So recently I have been gearing up my main group consisting of an SK, Rog, Clr, Bst, Sham, and Necro. The sk has almost full sol to gear with a few t6 pieces here and there giving him about 6k ac. The rest have a combination of stillmoon and pofear gear. Somehow though I keep getting my backside handed to me in ToV by the majority of nameds. The sk, necro and beast have t8 pets and the clr has t8 heals and all have 2.0s. Is there some trick to getting though this place that I am missing?

What specific problems are you having?

Without knowing specifics, I can tell you that most of the named dragons in there are perma rooted. This means that whatever player character is closest to the center of the mob will have agro... No matter what. If your melee are getting eaten and you don't know why, this is probably it. Make sure they stay at max melee range and get your tank up in there close.

The biggest problem I am having is with my tank getting eaten rather quickly, it just see as though with a few hits he is down despite a higher ac and decent (25-30k buffed) hp. Just wondering if there is some trick or strategy to getting through these. Specifically the hardest one for me in the wyvern before aaryonar.

Also as a note, the cleric heals if hp drops below 70% and even then it just seems like hp drops so fast. Also the DoT seems to not be a factor as I resist it easily.

6k AC seems a bit light to me for ToV.

Can you link your SK magelo plz ?

Also, what def disc are you using in combat ?

Magelo seems to not be updating as some of my newer gear hasn't shown up yet, currently using Fordel Star Ring, but other than that nothing. What armor are you supposed to have to properly take ToV? Doesn't it seem a little ridiculous to need much higher ac for a t2 zone?

6k AC is really damn high for ToV actually. Dude should be steamrolling the place. He's gotta be missing something .....maybe a Defense mod. Other than that, I cannot imagine what he'd be doing so wrong that gets him chewed up in ToV.

Any recommendations for an SK as far as discipline?

Do you have the gloves from kael? Blanking on the name for sk but those are a necessity.

Rayin's Gauntlets of Abhorrence are the SK Kael Gloves : http://www.thehiddenforest.org/webtools/items.php?id=68867

Get those ASAP if you don't have them. You will use them forever. Other than that I do not know why ToV mobs would be giving you trouble with 6k ac. With the T8 pets dps should not be a problem in a T2 zone.
