working up through HoH i had 2 paladins, #1 @ 21 oracle #2 @ 11 oracle, i was able to kill shadow at that point- the fight took quite awhile tho.  my war was in full t2 (armor/accessories) with full hp augs and he still randomly died about every 5 min here and there.  mob just got those lucky shots in but the paladin was able to tank just fine until the war was back up. 

t3 was pretty much the same, tank randomly died durring fights, but nothing that wiped the group.  once most of my group was in full t3 with 41+ charms shadow was cake and most of t4 was as well.  a good back up tank and charms make all the difference past t2 if you are progressing without help.

as for 4.0 i still cant kill him as my back up tank(pally) doesnt have the hp.  so i am working on full t4/UC for them as well.

hio,

not necessarily new to ez server, been off and on playing over the last few year, but lately finding myself playing here more and more.  so due to being frustrated at dealing with the instability of group instances, and also to enhance long-term playability - i am looking for a guild.

i've been playing MMOs for some time now.  started with eq from release up until eq2 came out, been playing that off and on since, with other games in the mix. finding myself saddly disappointed at games now days - im not even that old but that statement makes me feel it lol

i currently have a 6 man group that i have been focusing on the most - war, pal, pal2, rng, mage, shm - i am currently at the end of t2 on farm status for BPs - just got my first kronos kill last night woot:p  havent started on any RoA or charms yet - tho just finished leveling a druid, another war with anger Vs and now working on a bard for when i do start it.

i wholly intend to to break into the high end, and as such would prefer a guild that has progressed or is progressing through t3/4/5.  not asking for handouts or people to do everything for me, just a little advice here and there

IMHO i think the decay time on corpses in lower zones should be shortened.  zones like MM, dulak, and BoT are littered with free gear, and its giving newer players a state of mind that anything on the ground is FFA.


if you want that loot so bad for alt/guildie camp the friggin corpse.  if you keep the loot window open, no one can even see whats on the corpse.
