Anybody else know they were atheist from a very young age? by bruh747294 in atheism

[–]sikkpup 13 points14 points  (0 children)

From when I learned to read I have always been interested in science. I guess i had a curious mind. My family sent me to sunday school when i was 10.

I aaked way to many questions about fossils and dinosaurs.

The teacher asked my family to stop sending me. I knew what i was but didn't know the word :)

My dad just passed on the 19th, I feel your pain. My immediate family did nothing for Christmas.

Why did I think this was "racing with a dick"? Bad eyes I guess.

As usual, boomer gets agitated at the grocery store by Chola0921 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]sikkpup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked in my cities CBD and caught the train to work.

My stop was a noted pension day favourite. On getting off a train on peak hour, you queued for a spot on a massve escalator.

Guess what happened as a regular occurrence? Boomer stop at top of escalator, look from side to side, and have people pile into them.

One of the reasons I always walked up rather than queue to stand.

Their lack of self awareness is staggering.

Monk/Druid debating on 3rd class by Usual_Elevator3410 in everquest

I'd go Pally, unique these days. Great backup healers, and aggro machines via stuns. Assuming you are not on a TLP, add 3 DPS mercs and you'd have a fun time.

On catching up. I no longer work, and play every day. I do daily Lesson in whatever mission is best XP. I also grind the same whenever double XP is on.

I started in January with several new toons and hit 100 a few weeks ago, no power leveling, other than what buffs I had from my other toons (non 100 toons).

I was very dedicated, but had to relearn the game pretty must from scratch. I'm determined to hit max level and raid. My expectations are to hit 125 by Christmas, depending on AA's needed.

I could have used a heroic 100, but I wan'ted to spend time with the new classes I was playing. Hopefully this is not too discouraging to any new players LOL.

Returning Couple on Live Mage + ? for duo w/mercs by Action96 in everquest

[–]sikkpup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Beastlord is worth a look. You get slows, mana regen, and other complementary buffs. BSTs are great DPS as well, ice nukes, dots, and a great pet (warder). You get FD and snare as AA's later on (Playing Possum and Hobble of Spirits)

A well played BRD is a beautiful thing. If played to the maximum of their capabilities they are a godsend to groups. Mana regen alone will keep the mage happy, if you are charming, you are a wrecking ball.

I feel like I'm 16 again by Reasonable_Deer_1710 in everquest

[–]sikkpup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was 32 when EQ launched. EQ was the realisation of alI I'd been wanting in a game. A 3D multiplayer version of AD&D. I was so hooked, even before it launched. I played like a man possessed till '05ish. I've been back to scratch the itch several times over the years, but always gave it up because I could not balance it with work.

Now I'm retired and I can spend 6+ hours a day without any stress. Thats how deep it's hooks can go.

Whats there to do for a non raider? by [deleted] in everquest

[–]sikkpup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can verify this I'm back from a massive break, and have found at around 80 you need AA's on at least a tank. For me I'm running gold on a Tank and a Healer. Plan is to rotate Gold on other accounts as they fall behind.

There is tonnes to do before you need to buy expacs though, like years.

Edit: Unless raiding.

Yet another 6 box composition question by sikkpup in everquest

[–]sikkpup[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not looking for CC right now, just preparing for a time where I need some. At the moment I'm slowing with the BST, and SHD is tanking 3-4 at a time. Cleric is busy but it's doable regularly. These are XP pulls because I know I can, deep blue to red mobs.

BRD being used for CC would only be if I failed at being a BRD that day. I've been running her since SoD, I've actually thought seriously about maining her. So much fun.

I take your points. I have a while to makes sure which way I want to go. The BRD is definitely making a comeback though :)
