Dye farming or deathleveling for the Defender of Ascalon title?

The Monk?

Yeah he's a farmer, haven't gotten to the death leveling yet, since my Elementalist was supposed to be the permanent one, but I ended up making him with too much of a concept.
The Monk is a Midget who's name is an inside joke with my friend whose online.

[Illuyankas]

I'd only bother with the deathleveling if you don't have a life to take up your time. Speaking of which, I saw someone with the Defender of Ascalon title in Hell's Precipice, the last Prophecies mission. Dude, how much effort went into that?

Speaking of which, I'm going to see if I can get my monk, who is currently using a mesmer skill on a monk hero to use two elites at once for 113% more healing and 50% faster cast, getting around (not counting Divine Favour) 180 health out of 5 energy 70 healing skills - once reaching 697 health for the 5 energy Dwayna's Kiss, in a game with base max level player health of 480 - to finish Prophecies tomorrow.

Hmm. Maybe Apt should look into this.

I wouldn't bother with it. I played WoW (Yes, disgusting I know) for 4 years and then bought Guild Wars to try it out. I hated it, maybe because I did play WoW for so long, but I just felt it wasn't worth the money or time required.

It was a good game...the best mmo out there, in fact, for a couple years. Then everyone good quit and it sucked. (And they nerfed PuG GvG's, which were the best part).

WOW is not disgusting, WOW is gooood.

I just had to quit it because I didn't have the power of will to not let it completely consume my life.

It's like crack, only more addictive.

WoW got disgusting and terribad when they introduced Burning Crusade.

I quit because I was sick of it consuming my life lol. And yes, it's more addicting than crack.

WoW was the biggest waste of a Summer I could possibly imagine (raiding in TBC). I found myself reading a book or something for all of trash (resto drood) then paying attention on bosses...got boring fast, but was still somehow addictive. I hate it.

[Illuyankas]

Which is why GW is superior - you paid extra for your wasted time. I certainly didn't.

See I didn't mind the high end raiding, I preferred the PvP but I was still in the whole "newness" of TBC. Then I realized it was bloody awful. Every aspect of it. And WotLK is even worse I'm told.

[Sixty]

I have some friends who still raid in WoW...they seem to like it, but some of them also leveled up fishing. :S

@Illy: I only liked GW for the PvP (hated wow PvP btw), but from what I hear PvP there is bad now too.

(actually, I liked Griffon farming/Invincimonk in PvE, but that got nerfed years ago. )

After Warhammer, WoW sucks. Badly. Then again, from level 30 onwards, Warhammer sucked as well due to way too much crowd control. Gotta agree with the person who went from WoW to GW - that route sucks.

Right now, the main problem for me is maintaining contact with the 5-10 people I spent a couple of years with raiding, 4-5 hours 4 nights a week, and who became a sort of friends. So, I spend most of my very limited time in WoW talking to them, and somehow unable to pull the plug from what I regard as a shitty and soon to be dead game...

Yep. I know how you feel. It's not so bad though, every now and again I see them on MSN Messenger, and we have a bit of a chat. Try that? or AIM or some other instant messenger. I feel ya bro. Truck on!

That's the main problem. I was always in a guild filled with people in their late twenties, early thirties... all in all, busy lives/jobs, young children, etc, and due to age, and if they hadn't had them back then, they do now (just like me - (not the children tho), only I cheat by playing Mafia at work), so msn is a passed station for most of them. It's a good method for about half, the other half I'd lose contact with.

Ah that sucks ass then. Doesn't look like there's much to do but play WoW or shoot em emails whenever you want to talk. Or... what about a vent server? Just jump on and say hi whenever ya want?

[Sixty]

Yeah I've personally kept in touch with plenty of people I've played with in WoW/GW via vent.

OMG, and I thought I was a GW addict and didn't have a real life...

Imagine what it was like back in the old skool OoB Mo/N Boon Prot days...you'd get something like +80 healing from divine boon every heal, on top of the 70+ healing or whatever from Reversal of Fortune...then offering of blood for 15-20 energy every 20 seconds. Along with Contemplation of Purity, which would let you wipe boon+2 or 3 enchants when you were getting spiked or trained, thereby healing yourself for >200 for 5 energy (actually 10 since you recast boon). It was ridiculous, yet crazy fun to play (build was http://pvx.wikia.com...:Mo/N_Boon_Prot for reference, but it's been nerfed).

And then they took it out.

=(

(Oh, and they nerfed Energy Drain and Edge Bomb. Edge bomb was the shit.)
