Tip - Swarming Nerfs? NP!

SK Harmonious Disruption is a lot of fun.

With all these F2P accounts getting heroics even without all access, its a very easy matter to make an army of clerics to follow you around in and out of group to spam cheap heals (which are at least 5k hp) to farm easy content for gems/ts materials.

Less for the actual healing (though its helpful) and more for the fact that each heal is triggering a PBAOE lifetap around you.. times however many free clerics you have spamming you.

UPDATE: YOU WILL NEED TO LEVEL *ANY* HEALER/S YOU USE FOR THIS! THE SPELL REQUIRES A DIRECT SINGLE TARGET HEALS OF AT LEAST LEVEL 96 TO TRIGGER IT!

Make a hotkey like
*button 'healspam'*
/bct healers //target ID ${Me.ID}
/bct healers //casting "Heal Name" -kill

This will make them all target you and spam you with heals generating not only their heals but tons more heals and damage from the constant aoe lifetaps that will go off (also aoe taunts), they will not stop healing you because the command says to 'cast this over and over again until the target is dead (or changes)

When the train is dead

*button 'healstop*
/bct healers //target

using /target without a specified target will target the closest target.. themselves, breaking the chain as they have lost their target on you

Happy hunting, I hope this helps someone!

*you can of course also make a druid/shaman to help if you want things like lassitude/reptile skin as well

You could also use MQ2Heals and put them on your XTarget window and /bct healers //heals resume... Then it will heal more like a badass mercenary.

Absolutely could, in fact you could do a lot of fun stuff with out of group heroics with whats going on now heh, but for the purposes of this post, I just want to spam lots of heals to trigger extra pbaoe lifetaps for dps/heals/aggro

I'll have to try that. An SK is on my list of alts to make and powerlevel. How good are they in EoK group gear at 105? I presume they'd need a few AAs to hang in EoK zones...

Mine only has 4-5 pieces and the rest is still t4 house of thule gear cause i hadn't used him in a few years.. lol. Will let you know when I know :P

Honestly if you are in ok lvl 100 gear, autogrant aa is enough to start with a solid healer (even similar). You might want to avoid named for a while or use a pet or even merc tank as backup on named, and avoid specific named that may be more nasty than others til you get some aa built up.

But yeah as soon as you get a heroic tank to 105 its a good idea to put a krono on it and autogrant / aa for a month imo, then you can let it go back to f2p if you put a t1 set together and use that great list of f2p augs posted in the forum, or keep it subbed for top notch gear availability

In EoK T1 and T2 group gear and max AA I can pull 4-5 mobs in T1 content and tank it all on my SK. Only have a couple EoK rares on him in addition to the group gear.

 

[jimbob]

EoK rares = EoK raid gear...

 

[Sum1]

EoK rares = EoK raid gear...

Yea, but it's group available and the two pieces add an additional 150 AC and 2k HPs. When stuff is hitting for 20k or whatever it's relatively negligible The big thing is the surrounding support you have. Cleric Shining, Shaman slow proc buff, Enchanter cripple, and other debuffs all make a huge difference.

 

[jimbob]

Yeah, it all adds up though. 150AC and 2K HPs can be enough to save you from a bad round.

I agree, but you asked if SKs can hang in EoK zones. My point is they absolutely can with group gear. The fact that mine (with his 150 more ac and 2k hps from a couple of ultra rares) can pull 4-5 mobs in Frontier Mountains and tank them all at once isn't because of that 150 ac... it's because he's got a couple of support classes that help out (cleric shining) and is a well-rounded, solid tank. If you take away the ultra rares and keep it to ALL fully group gear you'd still be able to pull 2-3 without any issues. I mean, the group gear isn't even all Tier 2... if I was fully using Tier 2 stuff I could probably unequip the ultra-rares and be about the same place.

Sorry for hijacking your thread Lucent, and thanks for the info Sum1.
