Mentorring and Set Bonus's

Crabbok · 01-26-2008, 02:30 AM

Ok so I decided to mentor a lvl 1 Alt of mine on another account. First off, I notice that Set Bonuses are not diminished when mentorring, which isn't that big of a deal.

Anyhow, I mentor a lvl 1 toon on another account, and when in dps gear and offensive stance, my avoidance is over 80%! pretty cool I think, so I switch to defensive stance and dedensive gear... my avoid drops to 50%. I'm like WTF!?! After trying to figure it out, it turns out to be my Tenacity of the King set bonus, from Necklace of the Pureblood and King's Tear. Gives 15 STA and like 5 parry and 4 defense. Well the stats show in my skill window, but that is what is bringing down my avoid at lvl 1 from 80% to 50%.

I wonder if at lvl 1 it just can't handle numbers that high... maybe it actually had me at 150% avoid and just couldn't quite display it correctly? I dunno.

Maybe you just suck

Maybe it's changed... but don't you have to be at least level 10 to be mentored?

I know its level 10 on pvp servers, can't say much for pve.

afaik level 10 pvp 1 pve

Reasoning is if you mentored down to pre level 10 then you could theoretically perma immune without any trouble since pre 10 is not pvp enabled.

LOL, i remember when EOF came out and i mentored my brig to level 1... i didn't have enough mana to cast any combat arts =(

I don't know of a minimum. Pretty sure I mentored down to like lvl 6 to help someone level. But then again, I was not aware you could even have a level 1 toon. I thought everyone started out lvl 2 because you gain enough xp in that tutorial to level. That not the case anymore? Been a while since i rolled a new toon.

its not that hard to max avd/mit on a L1 or 2 even with armor meant for their level... put a full suit of mastercrafted plate on a L2 warrior and see what your mit numbers read. you're so far past the softcap for that level that it'll still show 75%+ for another few levels. of course mentoring down to that level with raid quality gear will give the same result, heh.

So in summation.

Its still 12" long when mentoring. If its mastercrafted or raid you may grow 1"-3" over night.

If you are a rogue type this advantage will best be used from behind.
