Cool stuff I do includes taking out things 3 or 4 levels higher than me (grr 3-level resist thingo), taking on two guys my level at once and taking out an elite that was my level (at lvl 18) by myself. well, at least i think it's cool.
my rationale for taking on the Elite was "well, if i can take two even-levels at once, and Elites have double the hitpoints, then...". as for the "3 levels above" thing, that's about my only indication (as well as Elite status) now for if i can take something or not. taking something 3 levels above me is pretty simple if it is not elite & i am rested up. how is it for melee classes? similar, better/worse?
i haven't really paid that much attention to gear as yet, as i am constantly poor. maybe i can get better results once i start getting into the levels where decent int gear is prevalent (ie: 20+)
Stuff I am doing at the moment/near future:
- that quest where you stop dudes from blowing up the dam in Loch Modan. up to killing the Mo'Grosh dudes, and couldn't find anyone to help me out, hence killing elites by myself.
- once this quest is done, or maybe once i hit 20 i am taking a ship to Darnassus in order to get my Expert Alchemy training done.
- once i hit 20 or maybe 21 i'll go and try to take out Ol'Sooty by myself (level 20 Elite bear, have to kill him for a quest in Loch Modan).
- i will need to harvest a bunch of stuff and begin making healing potions and selling them for crazy dollars at the Auction House
In the future:
- will have to re-do my Talent selection. i am totally not sure what kind of Mage i want to be yet, but once i figure it out i will probably pay to remove and reconfigure my Talents so that they are exactly what i want.
- make a bunch of potions, send them & some gear to my warrior.
