Bleh.

I think I'm coming down with a cold, and my subconscious decided to spend the night kicking me in the teeth with nightmares. I tell you, /no one/ can tear you apart like yourself, when you're motivated enough.

Also, I may have lost my voice recorder. This would be...bad. I'll check my pants' pockets when I get home. If it's not in there, though, I'll have to start a load of laundry, then go out and buy a new one. Guh.

EDIT: Yep, I /did/ lose it, and someone just returned it. SUCH A NICE PERSON.

...and Enchanting was way, way too expensive a profession. I moved to alchemy instead. Have herbalism already, so it's not a bad fit. I'd love to be able to figure out where I'm supposed to learn how to fish, though. I can find fishing vendors, and fishing suppliers, but no fishing trainers. How unfair is that?

Ah they did that to make botting a lot harder I beleive. Or at least that is their excuse

*grump*

At least it works if you're channeling. It auto-turns you then.

I noticed that, with applying bandages. And at least the spell sightline is pretty forgiving, even if the melee isn't.

Also, I like druids! They are fun and shiny, and I was able to solo the one Elite quest I've run across so far. Actually, I could solo everything but the Gathering the Relics quest with the apemen type things. There were just too many of them, in those narrow little corridors. But the other players are really friendly on the new server, and a lot of them are really new to the game, like me, so that's been a big help. :D

[archangelbeth]

Oh, the furbies! They're more bears than apes. You've had an Elite quest?

Huh. My druid was much less effective than my hunter, overall...

A low level one outside Dolamar (sp?). Gnarl the Something. Some sort of treething. He was tough, but Entangling Vines (?), That Flashy Continuing Damage Spell, and Wrath paired together make for lots of happy death and destruction, with a little bit of Healing Touch and bandages for when the pain comes.

[archangelbeth]

Oh, him! Moonfire and Root, good combo. Sounds like you'll be interested in getting the Restoration DOT (Damage Over Time aka continuing damage) from the talent tree. I did, despite being otherwise a Balance Druid, and it's made root-rot actually quite feasible -- if a bit mana-intensive.

Didn't Gnarlroot or whatever have a buddy to mess with, too?

[pyrephox.livejournal.com]

Another thing Root is really, really good at, I'm finding, is luring out 'buddies' one at a time, since it doesn't seem to turn anyone violent except the victim, if you stay at the far edge of its range. Whack the minion, get it to chase you, take it out, come back for the boss. It helps that the fight takes place largely out in the open...Garlroot's cave is pretty shallow.

[archangelbeth]

So root the buddy, and the boss won't aggro? And then when root wears off, it comes out?

This is a tactic I have not tried yet...

Well, harder to tell if it works for me, now, since Marie's all 60 and stuff, but I'm sure I could find something.
