today is 7/29 but yea it's down

Hunter should get it back up later- I was 3.5 page farming :p btw I have 2 days off and for some reason whenever I get 2 days off the server always does this hehe

I got off work early today, came home, logged in, got as far as engaging a named mob when the server went down. Such a tease.

I was in potime when it went down

If you really want to kill kobolds, if you fall down into that pit and get pretty deep down in there, there is a room with a bunch of kobolds that are by themselves.  You have to invis to get there though and it's kind of a maze. I think it is the area where you can swim up/down from the castle area.

Once you get a BST to 4.0 it becomes pretty derned gnarly, DPS wise.....especially if you aug the epics and add a bard to the group, and/or have a shammy dropping krak. Prior to 4.0 the BST pet is nice damage, but not stellar...and it just plain dies too damned much.

I find the pet to be a pain in the ass.  Does the pet affinity AA make the pet get hit by the pally epic 1.0 proc?

Good advice, aces to you, sir.  I'm just leery of not having a cleric since when I played on live you couldn't do any high end content without the 'holy trinity' (cleric warrior enchanter) -- or at least it would be exceedingly difficult. I didn't want to get through potime and find out I need a cleric all of a sudden.

Also I've already indulged my personal tastes.. monk and beastlord are my favorite classes Maybe I'll just make 6 more monks.

Thanks for the replies everyone.  I'm going to try to get to at least the first tier with my existing group before I make the 2nd one.  I just got the warrior to 70 last night so I'm going to farm potime for a while and get everyone (except the druid) epic 1.5, then maybe I'll make the cleric and do one last potime run before finally moving on.  Yay!

On an unrelated note, can someone tell me how to go about creating a guild here? I haven't seen anything about it in all my browsings of the forums.

Awesome. That's going to keep me busy for a while.

I figure eventually I'll just have a second 6 man group.  Bard, shaman, put the druid in this group and put a cleric in the first group.. and I guess I can fill the other spots with DPS.  3 rogues maybe?  Are rogues any good? I never hear them talked about.

Awesome replies!  Thanks everyone. 

Sounds like I really need to get a cleric.  I'm pretty sick of leveling toons up though, since my warrior isn't at 70 yet and he'll be the 6th character I've taken to 70 in the past 2 weeks. It is getting old.

How far do you guys think I could get with my current setup? I was having a little trouble on some of the bosses in potimea but I'm still getting used to running all those toons, and having the warrior will help a lot I think. How far can I go before I have to go back to leveling guys up?

Hey everyone,

I recently started on this server, I quit playing on live a few years ago and I had been playing since launch.  I never go to do any endgame content after PoTime so this server is perfect for me.

Anyways, I've been leveling up some toons to make a 6 man squad, and I want to make sure I have the right class composition before I start getting epics and whatnot. Right now my group consists of:

Monk
Beastlord
Magician
Paladin
Warrior
Druid

Am I going to need a cleric?  I can easily swap out the druid for a cleric.  I don't even like the druid.  I made it because I figured it would be good for powerleveling.  I'm also thinking about adding a bard.. maybe swapping out the beastlord for a bard.  Thoughts?
