This is probably a question for another thread, but at what point should I stop working on progression T2/T3/T4 and start working on ROA and Charms?  Does getting the ROA and Charms only make the grind a bit easier, or do you really need to have them in order to even do the content.  Right now my monk has brawler 7 with ROA 3, it was my first char and so it got the majority of the loots at first.  But than I realized that my monk/shaman tag team could not do shit and started up the war/pal/clr combo.  War has sorc 3 and pal has oracle 1.   I don't mind spending some time farming away in ldon for charms if I am going to have to have them for T3/T4 but like I said not sure what is the better option.

Personally I find it quite rewarding.  my group monk/war/clr/pal/shm have pretty much been fighting my way from qvic through now to pod t2.  My war has sorc lvl 3 with around 65k hps when i started t2.  Last night I had my true real go at a T2 named, and right away spawned the guy that stuns.  Of course i was not totally prepared and did not use stonestance and my war went down in first 2 rounds.  ended up getting him down to 50% before my group fell though, so figured if it was such a bad start I could prob handle it.  Guildie ended up dropping the guy and I ended up with some new legs for my war which really helped with the hps.  Sitting at almost 80k now after a good night of killing named.  Its been a great rewarding experience moving all the way up through the levels.  Though I have a feeling its going to take me AGES to get through t2.  I did end up spawning kronos one time and it was over before i could even start.  my monk was 1 shot, shaman/cleric did not last much longer.  and war/paly tryied to get him to about 90%.  that being said again its been very rewarding to grind my way up to this point.  though i'm not looking forward to having to grind 100+ levels of RoA plus all the charms...
