56 and 1/2
Well I’ve been in felwood for what seems like years, but actually only about a full level. I am so SICK of this place. Mobs spread out.. No one seems to be high enough level.. boring boring boring.
Not much in the way of leather or ores for me to mine either. So what results is, the main cash cow of this area is felcloth. And the schmucks it drops from are these ridiculous nimrods in jadefire something or other. Anyway, their droprate is pretty low to boot, but this is (as told to me) the only place to really grab this stuff. The mobs I was looking for were being farmed by some 70’s helping guildies out, so I had no chance. So I went running up there to farm for felcloth. I was doing my hellfire farming technique, which involves at least 4 mobs.. all with siphon life, and corruption and then me standing amidst them doing hellfire. This works GREAT for skinning, and the siphon life refills my life little by little to negate SOME of the hellfire affect. I can do it with more mobs without issue if I have a healer.. and this is an incredibly effective grinding technique, provided you have a priest that will overheal you to keep your hellfire pumping.
The place I needed to go to was Jaedenar (or something) and there are mostly casters (candy) and demons(uber-candy). Imps are a 1 shot with shadowburn, so I love those guys, where the felhunters/guards are more of an issue. Felhunters I use the VW to tank first while I drain tank someone close. THEN I drop the boom on them with shadowbolt/burn’s. These suckers do a move called manaburn, which sucks but isn’t huge.. unless you’re a lock and that means I have to drain my life to get more mana, ergo this move is like a decent attack to me. If you let the VW tank long enough, the felhunter will drain VW’s mana, and not mine. This is tricky though cause sometimes they just turn around and manaburn me.
Felguards are nice.. I grouped with a guy after I was done, and enslaved one to attack another one.. and just laughed.. He was like.. you are clearing a room without us doing anything.. to which I said.. “Yeah but if you see him turn around wail on him!”. The felguards don’t really shock me with power, but they are huge and really meancing looking. VW works for me, I just sprinkle some dots, drain.. and if nightfall proc’s.. BOOM.. end of story.
Now there was this 59 elite guy in this cave. HE was fun. Did a 2 man with a 57 shammy to kill that sucker. Basically sent in VW, let him hit the guy for a sec with dots galore.. Then we went all in.. bolts/burns, shocks/lightning.. burned him down in a quick little bit. I thought he would be harder than that.. but this shammy really brought the pain. had some battle elixir and I would get a big attack boost from time to time from him. Dunno what it was, but my shadowbolt went for almost 1k one time and I said.. well, something I shouldn’t have.. he laughed and told me about the elixir. Turns out I have the recipe waiting for my alchemist as well as the mats.. I might just make me some of that for when I creep into outlands.
