What are you going to Heroic?Follow

So I may play again on either Cazic or FV since there will be an uptick for grouping while the Heroic rush lasts.

I heroiced my existing necro (on gold account) in <Lunar Mutant Rights Now> on Cazic Thule server. I have a 77 necro retired elsewhere... and the leap to 85 from what I had been playing was silly huge. Lots of AA abilities I haven't got a clue about. Gonna have to read up. I really liked the granting of the DoN and Muramite trials AA/stat buffs though.

On my seldom logged in box silver account (my machine can't handle boxing for much more than buffing) I made a new heroic mage, also on CT. This character got all the same benefits (plat, gear, mount, Bayle marks) but the AA were held at 1000. Sub gold for a month and autogrant would fix that though. I only made the character just in case... since the freebie will expire long before I am likely to want to box (or be able to machine wise).

They autogrant DoN and Muramite stuff? Wait. Are they autogranting those to existing characters too? I was just thinking that I should go blow through the rest of the DoN stuff at some point.

Kinda think that's silly though, given that at high enough level they're pretty easy to do.

At this point, only my Heroic Characters have been granted all 6 ranks of the Trials of Mata Muram resist cap AA's..

While the other existing characters on my accounts did not gain any and I know for sure because I did 5 of 6 ranks on them and its still 5 of 6 ranks on those 3 existing characters that did them..

On my main account, I raised my Paladin from 76 to 85. It was my first char, so I had to for sentimental reasons. On my Silver account (started when my nephew was 12 so he could tag along with me ) I raised a Beastlord from 26 to 85. Lastly, on my F2P account, I raised a Bard from 21 to 85. I am a bit confused by the autogrant AA's however. On the Silver account, it says xxxx/1000, on the F2P account xxxx/250. The "xxxx" values are significantly higher than the cap levels. During the two months I dropped to Silver on my main account, my above mentioned Paladin was 1090/1000 in AA's. It almost looks as if my two free accounts were autogranted the full AA amount.

Cazic server: L85 SHM named Junipero on a F2P account. I put her in the Mutants and created spell set lists and macro's. The F2P Apprentice II Mercenary is almost worthless, but I think the shm can do okay in normal group situations.

Is the merc quest they put in Feerott only available to heroic characters or can any 85+ do it?

If your 84 beast hadnt done DoN progression or MPG trials you get those bonuses too. Others have posted that most of that isn't hard to backtrack at 85 though. So it depends on convience to yourself I guess.

I've used 4 heroics so far (3 of my own accounts, 1 for a friend who probably wont ever play again, but if he does I'm sure he'll be happy).

Necromancer 73-85, Cleric 65-85, and Magician 20-85 (Yay for free pet toys). My friends account only had a Warrior which he had got to 67, so not its 85. Maybe I'll use it (I dont know his password though, so I could never switch it to another pc). Oh well free heroics!

I created a new Heroic SK, so the AA count should be similar to a Pally. The AA count was 5518 for the SK.

For other Heroics, the ranger got 5530, the cleric 4922, and the mage got 4614.

I'm on Test and already had a 91 Druid, 94 Paladin, 90 Shadowknight and 89 Bard, so I went with Mage, Wizard, Beastlord, Shaman, Ranger, and Berserker to try out those classes. Tried out a Necro, too, but deleted.

Of them, I thought the DPS on the Berserker was amazing. The Wizard and Mage were underwhelming considering how much I've heard about how overpowered they are.

Took the team of the Berserker, Ranger and Shaman down to Brell's Rest to camp the AC aug there. The Ranger ended up taking, actually, because the J5 tank was eaten before the J5 cleric would heal him (and there was a kerfuffle where I thought I had done the J5 quest on the shaman with the tank but hadn't so the J1 merc died almost instantly on a pull before I realized what happened). I didn't block any heals though, so part of it was that. Eventually got a rotation down that wasn't too bad. One thing that made a huge difference was that the Shaman can at least do some Crowd Control in addition to slowing/dotting/buffing with their Virulent whatever AA. The Ranger did pretty well tanking (I have a great set of AC augs from my Firiona Vie days that I testcopy over with new characters), actually. But only one or two at a time. World a difference from my Paladin who tanked three or more mobs down there when I was getting his AC aug (along with my Druid and Bard).
