Greetings all!

I'm not much of a soloing druid. I always play with my SO, who palys a 65 pal, 200+ AAs. Sometimes he used me to charm kite, but its rare. I often have a cleric in the group, but I am sometimes the main healer. We do Hard LDoNs, a little GoD, up up to but not including elemental planes. We raid on the weekends, targets like Korucrust, Arch Lich, Xenamech. We 1-2 group pickup raids for named in PoTacitcs- split blade of destruction pays for a lot of ornate!

I have maxed out my FT, and have the basic focus effects covered, though I'd like extened range. I don't really work hard on having more HPs, as I very rarely die in a group unless we all wipe. The main thrust of my search for better gear is mana regen/focus effects that will let me be more effiecent, let us AA faster. HPs are nice, but won't do that.

Does anyone have any suggestions for bazzar gear, tier 1-3 drops, single/two groupable drops from anywhere else, or LDoN gear I should be working towards? I know I will get more gear for HPs/Mana/Resists, but it feels as thouh maybe the stuff that will really make a big differance is done- anything else I should be working hard for?

The Restless Burrower in AC drops the Talisman of the Burrower which is a ft2 clicky neck itemthat stacks with your worn ft. Easily killed by 2 groups if you can find him up.

Also if you can manage to get keyed for VT, the Twins are pretty easy kills that drop the Bracer of the Silent Star which has ER on it.

The last named in the Mnt trial in GoD has a really sweet bracer that can drop as well.

Not possitive i got all the names right but i'm sure i was close =P

I know the item. Clerics in guild are getting them, though it is hard to find the burrower up :banghead_ . I'll get the stat upgrade only after everyone else has one, as we could really use some more mana regen for the cheal rot. :)

We aren't up for Emp yet, but maybe soon- almost have arch lich down pat. But no VT keys yet. And we are working on Tipt, slowly. Not even trying once a week, but its on the agenda.

Thank you for the sugestions though! . My post was so lonley, but now it feels loved. :heart:

Heya, have you thought about doing BoT tower bosses for the hat and glowing booger of doom?

We have looked at them before. I passed on the sheild, with low mana pres for detrimental spells. It was only 10% iirc? I'm a junk beast away from secrets of the planes. :)

I don't actually know about the hat. But my guild has expressed intrest in bot towers. :)

I know its not gear, but consider using tribute to add an effect or two. Its really not too expensive if you dont go overboard. I currently have my spell haste, 150 extra mana and hp as tribute effects and am quite happy. I know several people who use it to add the last point or two of FT as well.

What would you suggest I add?

About the only thing that holds apeal is ext range, but maybe I'm missing something?

You can get an additional 150 hp/mana...that's the only tribute i actually use.

/nod. I thought sil had seen a focus effect I'd missed. Oh well. :)

Rank4 of the +AC tribute is really cost effective as well, not that I use it. Rank 6 is very expensive, but my so plays a pally and uses rank4 often. I don't worry about ac, I just ask him to stun more. :)
