Subject: Re: Sol hunting


Alamak, you still think you are soloing or in a pure caster group is it??? Tanks
for hell sake can taunt mobs off you, unless your hand itchy and keep pressing nuke
nuke nuke.

If want to go dungeon camping, you NEED to mem Evac, even if you evac to nek
forest, I also don't care, evac is the most important thing a wiz can contribute to
a group in times of trouble. Nuking is secondary.

It's way better for the monks etc to hit a mob to death and for you to finish it
off when it runs, instead of nuking all the time, since in a decent group, the
puller will pull often, and nuking on sight is dangerous, even if the tanks have
perfect taunt skill.

If want to camp Sol or any other dungeon for extended period of time, we need at
least 2 to 3 tanks to whack mobs into dust, a cleric(or a shaman, druids has the
tendency to use wiz style of playing at high levels which is to go pure nuking), a
secondary healer(post battle healing and to heal when the cleric goes OOM and need
to med) and a offensive spell slinger to finish off runner while the tanks engage
the other mobs.

If Garren is willing to get his arse out of lizard land, he can act as the puller +
tank + secondary healer.

Cleric is comfirm fill by me since I'm the only damn person of the guild who can
throw heals better then a g.healing.

One of both of the other tank can be filled with Zanderion's or Flyingfox's pet,
but it's hard for me to keep track of the pet's HP, not the mention how stressful
it will be for them to keep their pets under control. They can also do the mob
finishing parts.

Demitry or Valadine can also fill in Garren's and the pet spots since they can heal
and tank and they can also act as pullers.

Finally, Leshrec, Ziltus and maybe Ling are needed to act as a get out of train
button and to finish mob off.
