Not trying to thread highjack here, but I'm a third of the way to being an expert according to Malcolm Gladwell! It is a shockingly deep game.

I used to do exactly the reverse. I would overutilize it, and I'd get burnt out. That was back when I was boxing by hand, though. I don't worry about it much with MQ. I can always get caught back up with relatively little effort on my part. Find a place I can safely let auto-pull do its thing...

Redcents just allow them to incentivize good forum activity. I'm a fairly infrequent poster, but you can see I have thousands of Redcents. I have amassed the majority of mine by posting comments that meaningfully add to the discussion/answer questions being asked, and I just keep quiet the rest...

Healer classes. I just find main healing boring, so I only ever learned them to the extent that I needed to to play them passably with hotkeys. I got pretty good with shaman by hand as it was my healer for my primary group when I was still boxing entirely by hand, but druid and cleric? Meh. So...

You get the Serpent Seeker's Charm of Lore from just handing in the pieces to the librarian. After a few (5 or 6?) you get the charm. It just kind of pops into your inventory, so make sure you don't overlook it.

Many years ago, top mages on mage serverwide chat would get together on Test server and do all mage raids just because it was silly and fun. Eventually mechanics and AE's got to the point that mages could no longer keep themselves alive and killed this rather fun pastime. Unconventional is...

(Cast_Time + Recast_Time) / 7 * Spell_Damage = bonus damage per hit - That is to say, that's a flat amount of damage added on to the nuke after all calculations are done. (Technically it's a little more complicated that that, but for the sake of this point there's no need to get into it. Just...

Points 1 through 4 you are just correct. Nothing else needs to be said. Only mage pets come pre-summoned with their level appropriate summoned gear (summoned plate/focus items that the mage can summon with spells) starting at, I believe, 61 (but I'm not 100% sure on that level). That is to say...

The Hole doesn't have quite the experience modifier it had in years past, but the mobs still have fairly low HP making it a good place to grind for quite a long time. Paw has been one of my favorites in that range for a long time. Both have good mob density (depending on where you are in the...

As a general rule, I greatly prefer to play the game in first person. Situationally, though, third person is just objectively better. SK during prime swarming days, it was so easy to get a few mobs behind you and not even realize it in first person. That being said, these days if mobs location...

As others have said, Riwwi and Barindu aren't in the kindest of expansions. Crypt of Decay (CoD) is a decent option at that level. You can get into Bastion of Thunder (BoT) and Plane of Fire (PoF) at 62, which has been many people's go to grinding spot for years, but I actually prefer Splitpaw...

And you are correct. Being behind in AA's is monumental. The big thing you're missing is that people going immediately into new expansions on release are already well prepared to go into the new expansion on release. If you don't have most of the aa's from all the expansions prior, it's not...

KissAssist - In your buffs section of your KissAssist ini all you have to do is add |remove to the end of the unwanted buff. So an example would be Buffs6=Illusion: Brownie|remove EDIT: I see. Dispelled specifically. I apologize. This post may or may not have any use to you.

Damage shields were lightyears behind current content before they were massively increased a few expansions back. Now they're only thousands of miles behind current content. Over the course of an entire night, they do end up adding up to getting some 'free' kills... But on any individual mob...

IVU needs to be cast first, because it actually has a cast time. While it is being cast, invis instant cast before IVU is done casting. Exactly simultaneous cast time also works, which is why telling the invis caster and IVU caster in the 'wrong' order can still work. If it's not landing...
