/agree

Even having a main Brigand (and yes I can solo very well with him) the Illusionist just totally owns for fucking soloing. It's not as slow as people probably think either.

I went the Time line in the Illusionist AA section first for Brainburst (props to Cal for the help there), and like Manyak said around L30 you can solo pretty much whatever you want.

I was there when Many basically soloed a Lvl 100 guard in Village of Shin so yea Illusionists are pretty good.

to sylvia and osime if you havent figured it out yet this is a GAMER forums......ya so what if im a geak, geaks can still play sports as well as games, and ill have you know that i do play football with friends and go camping with my family.

so just bc im on here looking for a good alt class to play doesnt mean that i just sit in front of my computer for hours on end and do nothing.....btw do either of you play mmo's and if so how many maxed out characters do YOU have.

Wow how original TBH you really need to learn a little tongue in cheek defense of your choice to play. Sylvia whom I gather is really just a shit stirrer and no longer plays EQ2 (unlike myself if you'd looked at my info and I don't list my Character since it's my SN here) I personally have one level 70 and a zillion different alts most of them recently re rolled (feel free to investigate at your leisure) , as well as a 2nd account for two boxing. So keep your assumptions to yourself. I really wasn't responding to you at that point in the thread, I had already done that.

70 defiler (perma retired), 70 necro (perma retired), 70 coercer, 70 warlock, 70 swashbuckler. 70 bruiser (semi retired)

I was suggesting those things because i don't want you to end up like me :P jk jk. Hey if you like the game, go and do you thing, as long as you're having fun.

meacham23 · 07-03-2007, 05:16 PM

well osime if you were responding to me then why post it here???? take it somewhere else bc all i was doing is asking a simple question not trying to get crap from others or having someone come in here and start throwin crap at someone else.....

as far as me being a geek well sylvia might wanna look at yourself bc ive only got 1 character in eq2 and hes a lvl62.....i count 6 that you mentioned there hmmm so who's the geek?

and as far as osime goes you not only has a bunch of alts he has another ACCOUNT and computer that he uses to play.....

Uh, have you actually paid attention to how things work on this forum? I mean, FFS, the forum is called eq2flames. If you come here with the intention of just asking a "simple question" without "crap from others," you may as well turn around and grab your ankles now. Or you can find the humor in it and give back as good as you get.

If that doesn't appeal, crawl back to the official forums, ask all the simple shit you want there, and call the mods on people who give you grief.

Oh, and I have to put in another word for illusionists. My illy alt (at 37 now) has shit gear and all app IVs except mezzes and mana regen and can take down low-mid orange solo mobs with few problems. Anything even con or lower just kinda melts. She's full agi specced now and working on int. Granted, it takes a certain degree of skill to get the most out of a chanter, but they do have vast potential for soloing, grouping and raiding.

meacham23 · 07-04-2007, 08:38 AM

point duely noted tracheaspider......

so since everyone is tellin me illusionist are so awesome and whatnot i guess when not playin the main or dirge ill give them a try.

whats a good wpn setup to use? 1h and symbol or a 2h staff?

whats a well balanced aa setup for them to get the most benefits out of the class?

*Points at the Illusionist board* The typical (I hate to say cookie cutter, but if the mold fits..) Illusionist AA lines are Time and Enchanting, with Int/Agi. Below is the newest normal DPS mod, to my knowledge, recently changed with the patch.

AGI: 4/4/8/7/1
INT: 6/4/4/8/1

These seem to be the most agreed upon specs for the different Illusionist/Enchanter AA lines. You could probably find further information on the Illusionist boards from Illusionists more knowledgeable than I.
