OHH noes yet another thing that can't be done that was done anyway.

Shroud run at level for full XP. We short manned it with 10 people only five were melees and none were a barbarian (no barbarian alone makes it impossible according to the noobs) and only one was a fighter. It was a two rounder in part four but other than that and our squishy bard that kept dying it was a flawless run.

So once again open your mind take off the blinders and stop looking for the perfect cookie cutter group of level 18-20's to run the Shroud or any other high end quest. Stop asking for gear to be linked, and stop MY DDOing everyone who hits join on your LFM. Stop looking at the at level LFMs when your on your level 16 toon and join. Instead of waiting for an LFM that says 16-20 so you can be carried thru. Get in and contribute. This stuff isn't that hard it just requires an open mind and some ability to adapt. Just because you've had some completions with an optimal grouop doesn't mean you know anything yet. When you can adapt and overcome a sub perfect group then you're starting to learn.

My power went out for 10 hours last night. I was ****ed I had to miss the runs. Great job on the completions though.

Well said. a virtual /hug from me since I cannot rep you today (too many hugs! )

I was exhausted from 5 hours of sleep in the 72 hours prior because I couldn't sleep due to a toothache. So I had it removed and got some drugs and slept like a baby.

Yes, I had my wisdom tooth removed at 34 years old. That's why I missed the runs.
*cue laughter*

[madmaxhunter]

Yup, easily done. Heck, with all the greensteel twinked TRs in the game it would only be impressive if it were done under level and naked.

Once upon a time when the lev cap was 16 thats the way we had to run Shroud along with Hound and VoD and we didnt even have MyDDO ahhh those were the days

Even back then we usually went 3 rounds in part 4 and a 2 rounder was way cool. Either way 2 or 3 rounder our clerics never ran out of mana (there were no FS's bck then). Now you have FS's with 3000+ Sp and they still run out of SP if it goes more than 1 round. It kills me.

[flynnjsw]

It's all a lie.

The LFM's back then were 14-16, but it wouldn't be uncommon to see 11-13's in the groups too. Never see anyone below 16 in a shroud anymore.

It might have been easier to DOT him with a few less people to heal.

I did have to let you die due to popular demand.

Perhaps I'll take some screenies next time for the skeptical. Overall, it was a lot of fun. I experienced my first death on my FvS this life in VOD. It was a good place to die, lol.

Oh, I did use DOT's on Arry in Shroud with my wizzy. However, he went down both times due to melee dps with support. It is as it always has been. There were no stars in the show. It was a concentrated effort by all members present. It was a good time to be had by all

[~spathic]

I was there on Uarium. Not so skeptical am I.

I think what has killed that is the whole TR thing. Most of us who now TR instead of just rerolling a toon and starting over after capping it don't want to hit The Vale that early as we want the XP for the Vale around level 16ish as it makes it faster to cap and TR again.

Another thing that hurts it now compared to before is that there's no bonus for doing a quest under level like we used to get. If that was available you'd see a ton of people (especially TRs) doing the quests at least 1 level below the suggested level as opposed to 1 level above like we see now due to no XP penalty for being 1 level above and no gain for being 1 or more levels below.

I'd be glad to do a 16 and below on a non TRd toon because the XP is meaningless even if you use up the Vale XP on a non TR toon it's still going to be easy to cap.

[Hordo]

...and our squishy bard that kept dying...

Technically, that toon is only part-bard...

[MaxwellEdison]

Is the other part an unidentifiable red and brown splotch somewhere in the Subterrane?

[Zigana]

Technically, that toon is only part-bard...

Nah, he was talking about me. And I'm still confused how it happened...284 HP unbuffed at lvl 15 isn't that terrible. I still believe that it was a conspiracy against me for being 5 minutes late! And one of those deaths was because no one gave me fire resist after the first death and Harry thought I was a spiffy target clear across the room! Even Harry was in on your conspiracy! I hate you all! :|

I had mine out at 24. I remember the pain, and I'm not laughing a bit.
