The Nameds of Forsaken City

Illuminator · 10-07-2006, 03:36 PM

I'm sick and fucking tired of having nameds pulled out from under me, especially by people from guilds called "Cupcake Brigade". Jesus H. Christ if that isn't a wanting future victim of a hate crime... So here we go, let's see how many broke fucks we can cram into the zone. All of these heroic named mobs are blue/green and can be soloed, offering a bounty rivalling any Bonemire circuit. Have at it, dipshits. I'm done.

\aITEM 1215724973 322627793:Solemn Sandals\/a

Normally I prefer to use "a forgotten priest" as my charm mob because of the high magic damage output, amazing self-heals, and because it's a relatively high level compared to most of the named mobs in this zone. For nameds that have placeholders, I take the easy route and charm the mob. Then I bring it back to the entrance, break charm and mez/root it, and kill it with another pet, free of social aggro.

Well you have 4 named there that are on a 1 to 2 hour spawn timer, some are one some are two. Then you have alot of misc spawned Named. Usually when I go in there I go in late and it's normally just me. It's difficult though not being aggro to most of them where you could just body pull. Since SoE decided to make social agro just stupid rediculous i find myself sometimes wishing I was aggro to them all so I wouldn't have to waste time and faction clearing around them.

But alot of them are kinda hard to solo. And this is coming from a monk that can get 77.3% avoidance on just gear and stance alone. Most of the drops are crap though, the legendary is almost always no trade, a few aren't though. They also reduced the master drop rate in the AP cause when it first came out the named were dropping them right and left, trust me, I was farming the fuck out of that place before the change. Only had 2 legendary items from there that weren't no trade, the rest of it was merchant fodder to me so if people are actually trying to farm it to get rich they are in the wrong zone and should go to SoS. I hit FC when I am bored of playing Farmer Brown in SoS...

Not disagreeing with you just telling my experiance, but yes, certain factors make farming it easy. It's basically the same as Sanctum of the Scaleborn named mobs except you can be non-agro to over half of the FC mobs.

Illuminator · 10-07-2006, 05:45 PM

A coercer can pull any FC named to a safe location with a charm pet, and all the social aggro will leash as long as you don't hit it. From then on, it's a simple teeter-totter between chain-stun/attack and mez/root/recover. Sometimes there's minor setup, like killing one mob that stands in the way of the safe location. Usually during the setup is when a fucking prick runs in and grabs the named.

sloppy · 10-15-2006, 06:28 AM

hehe you once took a named i was gonna pull, you prolly didnt see me though as i was invised. DOH :smiley-surprised:

Fortyeight · 10-25-2006, 01:46 PM

The Savant will also charm as well. Was helping a friend get his gloves when I got charmed and whipped his ass for a couple seconds before I could remove my weapon. :D

If you are solo and the Savant charms you, it instantly breaks the encounter.
