Well, I rested and got a few chores done around the house. Then Bianca got home from school and we decided to play for a while. We got on, collected Gaerett and decided to put together a Nightmare group to grind some exp. I was just 5% away from 54 and wanted to level before the HoT raid. An extra level will help with the AoE resists and we never get (measurable) exp on a raid.
Well, it doesn't even take too long (i.e., about 30 min) and Bianca has gotten us a Shaman, a Cleric and a Shadowknight, so off we go. The Shaman is 58, almost 59 and knows a good spot in an area of the zone we haven't looked at, so she leads. It turns out that she is great at grinding. She has a horse and wants to pull with slow. That is awesome. Most shamans don't want to wander too far from the cleric because slow is a huge agro getter. Also, with the mobs coming in preslowed, the cleric is saved a lot of mana. The PoP mobs hit hard for their level, so slow is critical. Usually just in the few seconds of fighting an unslowed mob, the MA needs a CH. Of course, if he doesn't have good agro, the cleric and/or the shaman get agro. That is a mess. Gaerett is awesome at getting and maintaining agro and with the mobs already slowed, the shaman never got hit, the cleric stayed at 80% or more mana and we could chain pull. Ding Bianca 54, Ding Shaman 59, Ding Finavar 54. 15% in two hours, not bad. That also included two KEI refresh trips and two personnel switchs. All in all a good group. Also, about 50pp each from loot (PoN loot sucks).
