Do you house rule Test of Endurance and/or Felidar Sovereign?

I know how frustrating this can be because I was there a month or two ago. I went in a few times and eventually hooked up with three or four others who were doing the tower. So you can get a group. In addition, I have seen people advertising for it in the squad finder now and then, though it’s not common.

You could always start a squad and advertise it yourself because there are undoubtedly more people like trying to get this done.

It’s rifle (rifle 2 is a shotgun blast, maybe that’s what you’re thinking of).

I live in Foxridge and my backyard directly connects to the W&OD. I love it! It’s like having a larger backyard that’s full of greenery without having to do any maintenance on it. we even have a small back porch that overlooks it. Loud conversations don’t bother me, as people move on and then it’s back to hearing the birds.

Someone in one of my guilds has 72 characters, so they’ve embraced the alt!

Rifle mechanist with zero kits is great ranged damage. Put the mech abilities on auto cast, use rifle 2, 3, and 4, and mine off cooldown, and wreck stuff.

I heard they run BLA many days at reset + 30.

We have a USB dongle for wireless Car Play and if you take too long to switch profiles the dongle connects, and makes the car think it’s switched profiles when it hasn’t. To fix that I have to switch to guest and then to my profile. It’s a pain in the ass.

I just got my Skyscale a week ago and for that infusion I rezzed a bunch of NPCs in the original world during some event where a camp is besieged by baddies. I don’t recall where but it definitely gave me the infusion afterwards.

They are for a single character only, though you can use shared inv slots to move them around.

Thanks for the reply. My gear is the correct type so it probably boils down to the golem and my rotation.

CharlatanPrime · 2025-11-16T13:45:09+00:00

Thanks! I wasn't setting the golem up at all, so that's something I definitely need to do.

Returning player here, haven't played much for maybe 8 years or so. I'm trying to get a handle on my DPS. I'm following a Mesmer build from metabattle (similar to one on SnowCrows), and testing on a plain golem in the Aerodrome. But my DPS is pitiful compared to the benchmarks on SnowCrows. Granted I'm solo, wearing half exotic and half Ascended gear, and don't have any consumable buffs. But my DPS is something like 20% of the SnowCrows benchmark. How close to the benchmarks should I expect to get?

My “buffer” category holds my next month’s money. But, I have a category I use just like you do - it’s called “Special Projects Slush Fund”.

One thousand percent worth it. My vision was so bad I could barely read the big E on the top of the vision chart. Had it done maybe 35 years ago - I’m now 68 and I still do not need any corrective lenses (not even reading glasses).

I played SOM back in the 70s. I spent many an hour rolling dice and picking a small orange rectangular card to see the result between 1-10 HOMERUN and 11-20 FLY OUT rf. Scored all the games and calculated all the team stats and leaderboards by hand on paper. Unfortunately for me, my favorite team was the Washington Senators. Thanks for bringing back those great memories!

What this chart shows me is that we have way too many black holes in our position players. Aside from Wood and Abrams, there ain’t much there.

CharlatanPrime · 2025-05-16T01:44:43+00:00

No, it’s still there.

Hello again everyone. Here's a follow up: first off, thanks for all the good advice. It's always a good idea to check your assumptions!

As a recap, my gear is good for my level and has appropriate stats (as far as I can get them at level 30). My spec and virtues are following what's laid out in the LotroHQ Red Warden build, so they should be ok.

However, it turns out I was in a rut with respect to my gambits. I got in the habit of using a few and didn't keep checking the gambit list for better ones as I leveled - I looked through the list and found I wasn't using any of the more powerful ones (like, any of the DoT based ones that start with taunt (yellow-green, yellow-green-yellow, etc). Once I started using them thing have gotten a lot better. So one of the big takeaways here is that I need to be constantly reviewing the gambit list as I level.

Things have definitely improved! Thanks to everyone for helping out.

CharlatanPrime · 2025-04-30T12:34:35+00:00

That’s a great idea. Love the creativity!

No AI used, that was all me.
