So, have my SK at 78.
Have been PLing him to beat the band. My plan is
Take him to 80, then start using him as tank. He will be a bit weak (only got him 100 AAs before I got bored and decided to level him up to 80). He'll be a bit weak, but should be doable between merc heals and shaman backing him up.
Have been leveling him by grouping with my 85 (and a friends) toons, and training him in Vald and DSK. Both are getting a bit slow, but still seems to be faster xp than anywhere else. We tried the COD/Bloodfield T5 mission last night (with another tank of course) and the xp was very slow. Was great on AA, but for real XP was MUCH slower than Vald or DSK.
Here's my problem though. I may hang myself with a muppet back pack strap (little flash back to an old board friend here. I pity the fool who doesn't know who I mean.) if I have to go back to Vald or DSK. I am flat out burnt out on it from the PLing..
Any suggestions on an equivalently good xp spot to PL him in? Doesn't have to be better, or same, just so long as it is reasonably close and would give me a change of scenery..
At 80 I will be turning AA back on till oh.. maybe 250-350 AA? Then leveling him up to 85
Second Part:
Gearing.
So, I've camped his
JOTE,
Shard of the guardian (4)
25 AC RSS augs,
Vald 30 AC aug.
Will be doing all the visible armor T3-T5.
At 80 will be getting him his sword from Rathe Council, non visibles I will be filling out with mostly T3/T4 I run across while gearing him up on SOD gear.
Will be doing his 1.5, then likely try to get the 2.0 done if I can get a few friends to run anguish with me. (Can't take mercs in there. bleh)
Will fill out AC augs on a spot basis, like the FOS ones when I do his Iksar mask.
What am I missing from the list above? Any other 'must have' items/augs/clickies like the JOTE? (jade of the ether aug, for those not familiar with it)
Thanks in advance for your input!
