I always (old school quadding druid) played WAY over the shoulder. No problems targeting yourself that way.

For kiting, that was the best way to play. And got so used to it, I can't play any other way now, even when not playing a kiting class.

PoK jewelry become visible 5 levels before the recommended level. Essentially, the "required" level on them is bogus, since there's no way to get them at the "required" level.

eq2flames has class forums, some better than others. Inquisitor is just OK, but the Paladin one is pretty good. Haven't looked at the Conjuror/Necro forums. Worth at least checking out. I just started playing EQ2 again, in the last week, and have really been enjoying it. But you definitely have to d...

Hehe, #3 check. In 12.5 years, and 250 days on my main, I think my total playtime in first person view is about 2 or 3 hours! I'm always in a nice far-back 3rd person view. I feel like I'm playing in a paper bag in first person view. Also, the extended target window is an awesome tool to alert you t...

I've been playing DRU/ENC/MAG, and have really been enjoying it. Now, I haven't been max level since 2002, so I'm just leveling and questing now, and I'm sure it's not the most optimal group, but it works very well for me, and it's very flexible.

Is 6 AA/Lesson unreasonable if you don't get the low AA bonus any more? When I was getting 20 AA/Lesson in FM, I had about 1700 AA, so was getting about a 500% AAXP bonus. Which means, if I had had a lot of AAs, and no bonus, that would have been about 3-4 AAs. So how many AAs/Lesson do people who h...

Doesn't work? When did that start? I did a bunch of no-merc soloing around the beginning of the year, in FM and Katta, and it was working fine. When did it break? Or is it just higher levels? I was ~80 at the time.

I think he meant ToE, not ToT, for Theft of Essence. When fighting summoned mobs, this is huge. You casting anti-summoned spell on mob can get the ToE buff on your pet, which, among other things, is like 25% chance to dodge attacks. FBO is frenzied burnout. Stacks on top of regular burnout, it's V3 ...

So, a "kind-of" related question.... does Clairvoyance actually work? Does it ever return mana? And if so, then I assume there is no chat message that is printed, because I've never seen a message that would indicate clairvoyance kicked in.

pro tip if you need plat: The Franklin Teek hot zone tasks can be done more than one at a time, IF you get them all first. In other words, get the level 80, 75, 70, 65, 60 tasks, and then go do them. They pay anywhere from 128 (Steppes)-1025 (Ashengate) plat each. Level 80 likely won't be soloable, ...
