Ok, so it isn’t quite a lore appropriate name for my sage soldier – but I was reminiscing the other day with a couple of folks on Twitter about the movie Army of Darkness. So in following some of the epic one-liners from that movie I decided to give my sage the nickname Boomstick. Now she’s still not quite on level, but I’m pretty happy with her damage. I ended up working on finishing off Book 9 (hit 65 last week) so I had a few skirmishes to run to round out the book. I’m really looking forward to how the sage will grow once I get her on level and an Ultimate skill under her belt. I actually think the scarier thought is how fun a similar sage will be on my warden 😉 As you’ll see from the following videos – my minstrel does tend to get in a bit of trouble. I also captured a bunch of fights in CStats just to see how my minstrel parsed 😉 Tops was 600 for a crit loaded fight with Mazog (9000 damage in 15 seconds!!), but average was mid to high 300s. Which for those of you keeping score, that’s about double my warden 😉 And Boomstick is right around 70-90 DPS, which isn’t too shabby considering her level – only 60, with no skill above tier 4 (level 50ish).
I captured a couple of fights, including the encounters and last boss fight for those who are interested. Kufit the troll was a little dicey, but part of that is due to me being a lazy cook and not having any food on me…
As for the rest of the week, it was a bit slow in-game due to a bunch of other RL issues. But I did manage to get in an SG run on my minstrel which was a little scary (I was 63 at the time) but quite fun. I did win 2 MyLotro lotteries this past week and both of them on toons I actually play 😉 so that was a nice little bonus for me. With those wins, I was able to upgrade the tiers on a few of my legacies for my Warden’s spear and also finally got a new crafting tool for my Minstrel that combines all 3 into one slot. No this tool isn’t new, but I just never crafted myself sets of these 🙂 Like I said, my minstrel did hit 65 – so now I’m working to get him geared up. I need to do some general item checking on both of my 65s to see what else I need, aside from the radiance gear. That plus figuring out what traits to slot for both toons should keep me pretty busy. Otherwise, I’ll be running skirmishes, SG, and SH as well as whatever raids/groups I find myself getting into.
