In case you don't know, all pbaoe spells (apart from a few they missed) no have a limit of 30 targets, which really sucks if you are PLing with a SK and damage shield.
My normal routine (I am on test) was to use PBAOE (Oil of Fennin Ro if needed):
- Testbuff to 25
- Sporalis in Blightfire
- Skeletons in Blightfire
At this point I was normally at 39
- Fairies in Mesa to 44
Here, I get a level 66 char to do the AOE and go to
- Mechanotus - first pull used to get the char to 71-72, where he could do the AOE himself. Remove 66 after that. Could stay here to 80-82. Pulling way more than 30 mobs.
- The Grounds - port with druid, go down the ramp and use the mobs on the left or or on the pepponite field and all the way down to the frogs in the pond - this was WAY more than 30 mobs.
- At 85, grouping with an 85 rogue/ranger and doing goblins/sarnaks in FM to 90 or 95 (depending on the target group)
This was my very efficient (for me) setup.
Now, with the nerf to AOE I am wondering if it would be better to:
1. Have PLers at set levels to group with
2. Change the zones I kill in - right now, I am going to grounds at 72 or so and the experience is worse than Mechanotus but not too bad
3. Have AOE chars at set levels to do what I do now but earlier (EG. group the 70 with a 90 AOE class and go somewhere higher level)
4. Just suck it up and keep on doing it in smaller pulls
5. Something else I am missing completely
Any suggestions? I normally PL with SK and healer merc.
