Sorcs are the best as soon as they have fireball. 5 hours from level 1 on a triple tr. What's this mid level shit?

How long do you spend reaching mid level?  That is 20% of your leveling time (if that) and, assuming you stay at cap for a while, single digits on the life of the character.


Depends.

I often have 2-4 Tr's going simultaneously.  Halfdeadd for example is level 7.  He'll take a bit of time to progress.  Mostly because I don't care for grouping with hjeal meh whiners when I drink csw pots and keep moving.

Don't use xp pots really, and I level casually to avoid burning out on playing certain classes.  Sometimes I'll gain two or three levels in a playing session.  Other times I don't log into them for days.

For me personally, doing fvs and cleric lives are particularly frustrating.  Mostly due to stupid tells, presupposition, and lately poor pug quality.

Anyway, we'll see how that goes.  I'm being told that there are much faster ways to get a tr done by the new guild.

Fuck pugs, unless I know few names in the lfm. It never changes. Last 3 lives going MrCow style, maybe grouping for Crypts, Wiz King and Vol.
This life, 1st fvs ever and really doing shit at level I never thought I could ever do. Really liberating ( is that the right word ? :-D) Found new love for ddo, might do more wizzy lives after all.

Are you doing a caster druid or a melee?  I havn't tried one yet and I'm looking for something fun and easy.


Trying to specialise on a Druid will invariably lead to heart ache.

I see 2 worthwhile builds. Pure wolf form with 2 other forms as backup, wisdom based with improved shield mastery and 3*natural fighting on a human. This is the easiest build to level. This build remains interesting at cap due to perks like wings (snowslide), PRR, bonus spell power and the ability to conveivably tank most content in bear form.

18 Druid/2 monk elemental form TWF'ing wisdom based caster is the alternative. Slightly slower to level but a better caster at cap with still some moderate DPS.

A final option is something like 9 Druid/9 monk/2 fighter as a pure melee DPS build but it would certainly be slower to level than either of the above builds.

15/5 or 14/6 WF Sorc/Past Life for fast leveling. +5 LR.  Fire/Acid until a quest or three at 18, then Water/Acid or some other combo. Still need a Cleric life and will probably go 11 Cleric, 2 Monk, then the rest Cleric.

One thing for everyone who is a "skeptic" on this issue: Insurance companies are basing their underwriting on the assumption that it is real. They are refusing to write policies on homes that are likely to be in danger from rising seas 20 years from now, even though the resale rate of the homes is so high that they could keep writing policies for another 10 years and still not have to pay out on 1 policy in 5, but that would be irresponsible. Unethical, as well, but that's never stopped anyone before.

It is fairly natural to assume that the fair price for the pot is the fair value of the resources I needed to make the pot plus the fair value of my labor.

You were right this time, OnePercenter.

This is an accurate assessment based on my Druid experience.  I tend to prefer the human TWF variety and this is the route I've gone twice, once with the 2 monk splash and once without.  Pure gives it a bit more caster power, but the monk levels make it a bit easier and more versatile.

I've run with a few of the max doublestrike wolf druids but never played one.  They tend to use their SP mostly for backup healing instead of any offensive spells, but they're a beast in melee.

A half-dozen boss Vaulties donated generously with real money to my classroom during a fundraiser in May 2015 to get poor kids books to read. I won't forget that. They know who they are, and they freaking rule.

Jackovall's just about at lvl 11, so if you catch up we can run together and Keeger isn't that much further ahead either. Sorc + FvS = win.

Although, our time zones clash, so it might only last a level or two, but at least it could save you from having to PuG some of the big XP farms.

Also, I will most likely be running XP pots for the rest of this life as it's the last one before completionist and now that I can almost taste it, I'm getting impatient.

Well obviously.  Who the fuck would every play a fighter/barb/monk if you could also have a few thousand spell points for healing and spell damage and do the same melee DPS.

Still, with the right temporary buffs you can see some ridiculous doublestrike on a wolf druid.
