	So I was tricked into making a character on Mindflayer. How bad did I screw up if I made a cleric?

As far as I can tell, you are good until 35 or so, particularly with a tankie henchie. The Lair of the Mad Dragon was a bit of an eye opener with the mad aggro. Not sure I am venturing into a dungeon again. Quests are Ok, bosses can need a lot of mad kiting in circles, particularly if they spawn lots of adds. I haven't got further than 36 though.

	Endgame clerics basically all run: 1. Astral Shield: This encounter gives allies within dmg resistance AND healing ticks. You can stack Astral Shield which makes 2 cleric parties very popular. 2. Hallowed Ground: This daily gives a dmg buff and dmg resistance (which stacks with AS). Burst Healing is very limited so it is better to concentrate on getting 100% uptime on the above two.

Haven't been to endgame yet, but I hear Divine Armor can be a very useful daily as well. It's certainly pretty handy at 40.

	Mad dragon kicked my pug ass. We got him to around 50% before wiping. As a rogue it was really hard to do appreciable DPS on this guy because of all the PBAoE he threw down. It seems somewhat like guild wars with ranged DPS having a strong advantage and hirelings being typical idiots following straight into melee range and standing in red. I bet a group of CWs could clean house easily in there, pug or not.

	I really don't like that you level out of dungeons/skirmishes so quickly. I really wanted to take that dragon out, but leveled out before I could run any more attempts. I've had several dailies stuck at 1/2 or 2/3 because I leveled out of a dungeon and couldn't do the 2nd/3rd run (and I need those ADs!). I hear they come back as epics at endgame, but still, grrr.

You can still do those dungeons, you just can't use the queues, not sure about the skirmishes though. For the dungeons just get a group together and go the the map area it is located in and go in via the actual entrance there. There grouping system sucks and most endgame content, T1's and T2's are not done via grouping but premades.

Did it with some guildies, tank (gf) on dragon only keeping him on one side of the cave facing away from group as best as possible, the rest of the party on the adds and I mean all of them. The rest of the group try to stay on the other side of the cave and keep adds there. You need to keep the magus off the gf and he keeps dragon off you all. No one touches dragon except the tank UNLESS ALL ADDS are dead and even then you don't go all out stupid dps on it or adds will spawn and you will wipe before the tank can get the dragon back under control. Everyone else but the tank stays around the DC as she will get the aggro as she heals and rest of the party protects her by killing shit and keeping them off her. Magus first imps last. AT around 70% life a special group off adds spawn (devils and magus) and then back to the usual spawns till around 30%� she spawns another Special group� with some bigger bad asses. then after that regular spawn again. Apparently it's the same for end game it all about kill the adds. Oh and if you want a SS dont dither around the cow disappears after awhile. We were so happy we killed the cow we chit chatted etc for awhile and I finally went to get a group SS she went poof.� One of the guys got one though but only him in the SS. If you are wondering group was a GF, DC,TRx2 and a CW.

During epic runs the most important thing is to have a gf who can taunt. Everyone should dps boss until trash come down. At this point the GF should taunt the dragon and turn her away from party while everyone else takes down adds beginning with the magus. As a rogue you will be dealing the majority of the dps to the boss. I suggest duelist flurry and spec out 'deadly momentum'. One flurry will almost always give you a full stack of deadly momentum and a second chain of flurry should give you a full 10 stacks of bleed (this will be your main source of dps). Generally as a tr I will do the first two swings of flurry and then I will go into stealth mode (this increases the dmg of not only flurry but ALSO the bleed dot). If you have timed it correctly, you should be able to do a second flurry in stealth followed by a stealthed Lashing Blade (guaranteed crit) for massive dmg. Usually by this time the boss is preparing to throw some gigantic but slow aoe so roll out of the red, throw some sly flourish daggers then roll back in when its safe to start your next flurry rotation. A very popular rotation is 2x flurry, lashing blade, dazing strike and then shadow strike (to refill stealth bar). Depending on the boss I will switch out dazing strike and take either 'impossible to catch' (for bosses that need max dps, ie. frozen heart endfight, the cleric kites all trash while everyone else goes max dps to kill boss asap) as this allows you to ignore aoe and have increased dps uptime or smokebomb (if theres a lot of trash casters). Strake: dont sweat it too much, just get to lvl 60 and gear up so you can start running t2 dungeons. T2 loot sells for a lot, much more than running dailies, eg. I pulled some magelord slippers yesterday, cheapest on AH was 900,000AD

	I should also mention, if you want easymode the best current t2 party makeup for t2 is 2xDC, 2xCW, 1xTR. Clearing up to boss, the mages will stand in double astral seal, cc then aoe or push off cliffs (there are lots of lefges/cliffs that you can utilize). Rogue will be concentrating on elites. During boss encounter the clerics stack Astral Seal or have one seal on boss/main dps and one for clerics/mages to kill trash in. The mages will be chaining Arcane Singularity to control trash and the rogue will be soloing the boss. One exception is Frozen Heart where as I mention above, the cleric kites trash while everyone else does max burst dps. Castle Never has slightly different requirements but its counted as a t2.5 dungeon.

	Enjoy the AS stacking while you can as it is bound to be nerfed soon like they nerfed chucking adds into pits etc and like they just nerfed the chest and nodes.

	You can still throw mobs off, just not as blatantly. We will see what happens with AS but until then, easymode!6

	Some new bug exploits: Quote: another GF damage bug !!! yay guys � � ok so guys ill do it short , u need to use the Knight Captain's set in order for it to work. the set that has 25% chance of giving 60% power . so how does it work ? simple , u have 2/3/4 GF's in same party and they just hit stuff and AOE stuff to trigger the set effect , now this buffs all the other members of the party in to get incredible power numbers. 2 GF's --> 20k 3 GF's --> u can hit like 1ml+ power 4 GF's --> u can hit above 4 million power i will repeat again , the buff is granted to all party members , which means if u run 3 GF's ( most reccomended ) u will get like 1 million power after charging the buff and the rest of the party will recieve same bonus! and now just imagine the damage u would do Quote: Fresh exploit Take 4 shards with 1% chance... Fuse -> Coal ward... Start fusing... Swap coal ward with a heal pot... -> 100% chance Coal ward isn't used up or Take 4 rank 1 enchantments Fuse... Start fusing... Swap enchantments with your shards -> 95% chance Quote: Notice: I lost a ward also on the third attempt. The only difference here was that I was moving the ward up and down for a swap in my main bag for the success. When it failed, I moved it to my last bag and then used the swap horizontally to the slot next to it. Anyway, gg. I can't afford a Coalescent ward so I used the other, lower one. Worked for a bit then failed because of the above. Quote: For the Co-Ward method you put the enchants up + the ward make sure you have potions or something sitting next to the ward in your inventory. You hit fuse i wait like half a second to allow for latency then you click and drag the ward from the Enchantment Window over top the potions in your inventory. Ive basically upgraded all the 4 stack enchantments ive been saving have not failed yet. source

	It should be noted that they are already starting to ban players for using the fusing exploit. So don't do it if you don't want to get banned.. They seem to have cracked down hard on this one and can identify people who did it. The Banhammer has swung! :/

The people that have been quietly doing this since OB started have long since funneled AD here and there and are not really in any danger anymore.
