16:43 Pal/Nec combo is really, really, good. One of the best dual synergies in the game. Necro's Scorch Bones line (90+), turns nearly everything Undead, which is super strong for Paladins, for obvious reason, especially when you start to invest in the cooldown AA's for that line. I've been rockin' a Pal/Nec/Sham for ages. Other good options for an Agro Kiting Necro is a Ranger, for Autofire - especially if you are doing Headshot content. Or a Mage, for more pet damage + Nukes.
Thank you for the insight. I wasn't sure how good that combo would be, my Paladin is only 64 can't wait until I can group him with my Necro to try it out. I have been doing a Pal + RNG and that seems fairly fun. Nice to know Pal/Nec/Shm is viable.
I did monk / shammy, later up to 4 Accounts. Mage enchanter was very nice, later combined with a third Account cleric, follow by a 4. Account wiz. I Would love to reactivate but Not Sure about my password and i REALLY FEAR to loose control of my live when i ever Start again. It was for 10 years or so the Best game i ever Player. You talk about 10k HPs for 1 item. When i started a good warrior had maybe 7k HPs. Oh man.
@@saschaparakenings5200 I forgot the information for my second account, and my e-mail for them was no longer active. I just sent Daybreak a message and added all the information I could remember. I had no issues getting my accounts back. Hope that helps.
Thank you for all your great videos. You talk about multiboxing at least with two characters. I am pretty newb when it comes to that so I thought that I could ask you a question, I want to ease into it, starting with a duo, I have a 86 mage and 85 Enchanter, is that a good combo with 1 thank merc and 1 Healer merc (both gold accounts)? What would be the easiest way to set up with a high end gaming laptop? My setup is : I9 Intel, 32 GB ram, Nvidia 3080 16GB Gfx card. I have a Samsung G9 49 inch monitor. What would you recommend as the easiest way to get started? I would very much appreciate any help to get me on the way to multiboxing.
There is also a level 95 Franklin Teak daily, and you can get pretty decent experience until over level 100. Really helps that I have a Wizard in my group and set one of his binds at The Resplendent Temple/Pillars of Alra zone line. When one of those zones is a daily, I port my other toons there and 15 minutes later (max) pick up the exp and plat.
Definitely need to get your SK epic 2.0. Can finish it in about 2 days or less with decent luck. Also, great video with lots of useful info. Great resource even for ppl like me just making the occasional new char.
How do you get rid of those icons showing up in a small box, two have stars, etc. I saw you bring up a selection and I think dismiss, then after doing that to all, the window disappears. Thanks.
@@hammackj you are on your way to the big kills now! It won't take much to get that to 300k, and that's basically what is necessary for CoV trash. Push up your Defiler's Synergy AA to max that way you get the 30% proc tied to Assert for Blood. It's not hard to keep on especially versus normal mobs.
Missing EQ Freelance Forum. It's a bit dated but still has some great information that can be applied today. I used it when trying to build out a warrior hotkey setup for tanking as I knew nothing at all about the class.
@@hammackj my man your stuff is already top notch don't even stress about my suggestions! Keep doing what you do the community needs more of it. I point people your way in /tells on Test all the time when they start asking me things about leveling in the 70s or what not. I just flat out do not remember what I was doing to back then and I know it wouldn't be the most efficient way today.
I appreciate it, I try to drop your name anytime anyone asks about setup/burns/high end necro stuff. 70 to 85 are the new hell levels IMO. I have some characters just getting to that range soon and i'll post some stuff on that.
I've been seeing a decent amount of people in Cresent Reach on Bristlebane, however as soon as I moved into the moors ot drops quickly. Looks like it moght be a lot of people starting the game and then falling off. Or maybe they are all disperseing to different zones to do their own thing.
Yeah bristlebane has a decent population. Typically after that I rarely see people until the end game zones and I have done a ton of leveling on BB. In contrast on FV I see people in almost every zone during the leveling process and actually grouped with real humans =P
While I have never used Krono, I do have premium that sometimes I let expire, but they never turn Silver, I think Silver was grandfathered in some years ago, but it's not a think you get now. Of course, I could be wrong.
I feel you. The new TLP in May will be popping so you won’t have too. I multibox to get things done on my time without bothering people. I enjoy judging playing one the most.
2 servers. 1 normal progress. 2. Random loot free trade like mischief. 2 will be more popular. They will start in kunark in May. From what I have been told these are the fun servers I haven’t done this random loot yet but I expect it will be very popular.
You had me, till you put the Druids suck in there. I 3 box a warrior, shaman and druid team. The Druid has gotten us out of a bind so many times, I can't even count. The DS is awesome, ability to get to where we wanna be, and parking adds till I decide to engage. I for one love Druids, and if you think they suck, then you my friend are not playing it correctly, Just my 2 copper.
Like Ham points out it is the fact that they are SO O.P. that makes them "suck".. I myself duo'd a monk and a drood .. I know, I know... But I inherited the drood it was NOT by choice... Given a second chance I would have rolled a whole GROUP of the O.P. little leaf-lovers! I would currently be the end game raid boss! Ya'll could NEVA out drood 5 droods!!......hmmm.....unless ya'll came at me with 6 droods!! Then I'd be a little frightened....
Just get a healer mercenary and you are immortal. They tank as good as the tank merc and they have nearly endless mana. you can literally AFK level as a pet class. its stupid easy up to level 100
My monk didn't die, monks can't taunt. The healer would heal the monk then die. Merc immortally dies out really fast 70+, 1 to 70 all the mercs are immortal gods but after that a F2P character boxed is better in most cases.
I was using Lesson on my level 50:Necro still tanking in Echo 2. Getting about 1 1/2 to 3:1/3% per mob. Getting over 20% per mob on average with my 27 Monk in Echo 1 with Lesson.
Just started fresh on live with 4 buddies. An updated version of this would be awesome! Lots of good info in here.
Most of this is still valid. The game hasn’t changed in a while ;)
Amazing video for a returning veteran from 00 slash wow refugee.
Glad it was helpful. Let me know if you have any requests let me know

Hi, what UI do you use and how did you get 4K to display so nicely?
I play in 1440p and upscale the videos to 4k via post post processing. I use the standard ui. My ui settings are on my discord.
@@hammackj Thanks, my UI looks nothing like that.
If you do Hero's Journey, I recommend level locking after getting your weapon and go tear up the old game before you out-level its OPness
Why would you want to level lock? On live 99% of people use autogrant, so AAs will be maxed until 110.
@@hammackj Just to have fun with the weapon before you out level it and get a better one.
How do you get rid of those icons showing up in a small box, two have stars, etc. I saw you bring up a selection and I think dismiss, then after doing that to all, the window disappears. Thanks.
You have to click and dismiss them all it is painful. I don’t know another way.
@@hammackj OK thank you, I'll do that.
Do you have the file for your UI? Looks like 1440p to me, which i'm also running
You can find my UI files on the discord in the eq-files room. My SK UI is there also, which is what Nomeregards UI will change to soon
Get those spell augs my man! Leaving DPS on the table. Now that you are 115 head to EW and WW and drop the platinum.
Yeah, just hitting 115 my dps went from 100k to 250k, might actually be able to kill things easier now.
@@hammackj you are on your way to the big kills now! It won't take much to get that to 300k, and that's basically what is necessary for CoV trash. Push up your Defiler's Synergy AA to max that way you get the 30% proc tied to Assert for Blood. It's not hard to keep on especially versus normal mobs.

Check the Krono bookmark in your description.
Good stuff buddy.
Ah that should be 110 now that they changed it to 110 for the max auto grant.
I know it’s “ mandatory “ but I don’t enjoy multi box . I love the game but I like immersion

Old graphics for lifeee
Can you use mounts with the old graphics?

Just get a healer mercenary and you are immortal. They tank as good as the tank merc and they have nearly endless mana. you can literally AFK level as a pet class. its stupid easy up to level 100
Maybe 1 to 60 or 70, after that it is more work. When I molo'd my monk the healer died so fast 70+ it was painful.
@@hammackj did he have gear on? heh
Mercs don’t have gear sub 100.

We need everquest 3
Yeah.
At 100+ Overseer is a prime way to get xp.
Yeah can't remember if I forgot it or not in this but, Overseer is the best thing 85+ for easy exp =)
If you are an sk and don't have your 2.0 nobody will take you seriously as an sk.
True.
