GoD and Necromancers

[Nephintun]

First of all, thank you for reading and for sharing your thoughts and experiences on the new expansion.

I have resisted the temptation of obtaining GoD for now to concentrate on my beloved Necromancer and say "NO!" to the Berserker twink storm. Been rerolling for the past 6 months from previous multiple 65 characters and I promised myself I wouldnt go back to the rerolling insanity until an interesting NEW class was implemented or if ever. Lucky for me, Berserker will not be it and returning to necromancy has been a great satisfaction. Used to be a high level one back in the days, way before Snare/Root stacked etc. etc.

Anyway, I keep hearing that God is mostly a 60+ expansion CONTRARY to what SoE advertised, 50+.

Now, this is all second hand information, therefore I would really appreciate your comments on this. Word out there is that GoD is extremely hard.

I am currently in the low 40s, but considering that I play in Firiona Vie (where everything is tradeable, got to love that server amazing twink fest for the veterans) and that I rerolled from multiple 65s you can imagine that Im flying by levels with ease. Been thinking of obtaining GoD to do something new and interesting in the 50s but as I already stated this might not be the case for a 50ish character in GoD. Even one with superb equipment and good experience.

Once again, thank you for your input and hope you continue enjoying the great game of Everquest.

I did Qimini zone trash mobs with a group of level 65s when I was 59. My spells were landing but I still felt severely out classed. I doubt a high 50s group could have held the camp.

I'd have to agree that its a 60+ expansion... :(

Sad news but not surprising. Unfortunately it seems I will have to do the 50s in zones I have already visited in the past. Thank you for your input.

Yea, it's definitely 60+. Beyond the first zone, Natimbi, most of the mobs hit ridiculously hard. Trash mobs in the 2nd zone hit for 900.

SoE, as usual, is very misleading. <_<

Are any of these new zones ones that we can kite in? Maybe some undead we can fight to solo? Still waiting to get this, so I have no idea how it is :)

This is the adaptation period kinda like PoP when everyone was running around wondering why in the hell the poj trials are so hard. This expansion however doesn't have that kind of a trial system and has what would of been called tier 2-3 content accessible to anyone. Natimbi is easy, as far as I can tell nothing besides the cragbeast queen summons, and just about nothing sees invis, except for the 8-10 or so undead. The movement penalty caused alot of undo(imo) agrivation and hardship, but c'est la vie, learn it, adapt it, kick it's ass. I don't think there's been enough time for people to adapt, alot of people went from BoT/Tactics to ferubi/barindu and vexd. That's like going from "the grey" to bastion of thunder. Yeah it's shocking at how difficult it is now, but in 6 months they'll be laughable. BTW with decent gear and selectivity, you can (as a 65 necromancer, it's the only viewpoint I can add, sorry) solo in qinimi, natimbi, ferubi, sewers, vxed, kodtaz and yxxta. I haven't really gotten around to trying more... The mobs are extremely difficult for me atm in kodtaz and yxxta, and I'm tired of putting my "u-know-what" in a vice. Good expansion, but saying 50+ I think is a bit wishfull thinking, I'd say 57-59+ and your close.
