This. 5 Rampages with Brutal Onslaught disc = win. There are so many other factors that it can't even be measured, like, how your automations work together, how much class knowledge do you have, do you have LEMs/events setup, etc.

Gear dependency is always the tradeoff with knights vs warriors. A BIS knight can tank anything a warrior can, but a warrior in T1 group gear is sufficient for tanking raid bosses. If you've got the plat/krono for the gear, the knight is the better option. If you plan on farming all the gear...

Micromanage your pets, let yourself get hit sometimes if you're soloing (provided you won't get 1-shot) to proc more pets. /pet swarm is underrated. /pet attack ${Me.XTarget[1-20].ID} is even more underrated. For spell weaves, you basically have 3 multibinds: Regular: Servant -> Twincast ->...

Undead mobs. It's not even close. Lol Mages are shockingly good solo. probably the least gear dependent class, too... Outside of the most expensive item on live servers lol (EM Ear)

I know some people have been getting a compatibility layer popup that looks like: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers = -1 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers = -1 If you want to get rid of that...

You went back to Windows after using Linux?!? That aside, have you tried running EQ/MQ under Linux? Probably won't help if it's truly an isp issue, but I've found Linux to be more stable than Windows when it comes to network stuff. That's plenty. Boxing 30 it's rare to go above 1MB/s (and most...

What's the scale/scope of users? Using sockets, you can probably get what you're looking for done using a git repo & private git tokens. Or write your code so that it can accept different configs that get updated and have that hosted on a website, but you won't get the ability to patch things...

The new 115 heroics come with archetype armor. For non-pay-2-win options, TBM has generic armor sets from the merchant. If you want the raid spec version of generic armor, then the anniversary raids have that. The anni raid stuff also happens to be the BIS free to play raid gear... Not that I...

I've done enough testing between PAL & SHD that I've come to the conclusion that PAL is better, and always has been the better tank than SHD, for 2 reasons. 1. Rez since Classic. Lotta people think you need a cleric in those early days, nah. Just use a paladin. 2. Act of Valor. Shadowknights are...

It depends on if you want to go hard on automation, if you're alt tabbing, cleric is probably your best bet. But if you wanna do automations, shaman is a good option. You'll get slows out faster and healer mana will never be an issue with Canni. Though, there's a lot of overlap with the shaman...

Welcome back! The free 2 play life is quite enjoyable when using automations. I've been doing it for a few years (stopped feeling challenged on live with krono). Here's a couple things I learned: - there's no reason to wait to add more characters. For the early game, yeah, you can solo/molo...

If the server were going to end in 3 weeks, I'd agree, but tradeskills are always profitable. There's always going to be someone wanting to twink an alt or min/max their magic resists. Others may have had a 2-month head start, but that's also 2 months that people have been farming gear. Get...

Game would be much more appealing if I could 20 box tbh

The key to pet tanking is making use of swarm pets. I recently replaced a tank with a mage (no healer, btw) and it tanks shockingly fine by sending swarm pets in. Necros aren't mages, but they certainly have a similar amount of tools to summon swarm pets, with an added bonus of being able to...

I've not been able to get to 4k (I also haven't really tried super hard). MQ makes the EQ Window autoscale, I think it's in the MQ settings, and that could be the cause of your crashing. What are you trying to accomplish with 4k? Better graphics? Better scaled UI elements? I highly recommend...
