It might not be imposible after all.

I am (was?) lv 40 THM, went to farm Diremite Web near Nophica's Wells. The mobs are around 35-37 and I was able to kille them in 3 shots (all of them at the same time, felt so good).

Exp gained? Around 30k in 1 hour or so. And remember, this is without chains. So 50k-60k with chains doesn't sound that crazy.

As a Gladiator, I can't fathom being able to solo in the early 30's and get the 50~80k.

But I think pterocs and antelopes are gonna be in for a stabbity-stab-stabbing treat tonight!

Lv32 PGL, just for kicks killing the same Wights I was on my 32THM as stated in the OP. I got 449 EXP per kill, and after 4 kills in 5 minutes = 1,796 x12 = 21k.

@30 ish on my Pug I was easily hitting 50k SP pear hour and that was before it got better with 1.19 link and chain bonuses. And you are using pathing glitches to accomplish what you are on your THM "Bottlenecking/deagro".

For your PUG make sure you are using your counters non stop and 2x for every miss and it will speed up a lot. Don't save your TP just counter with Jarring Strike and Haymaker twice every time.

The key to DoW from what I have found is knowing what to do and when to do it. With DoM right now you barely have to know what you are doing, find a AoE rotation and stick to it.

What mobs and where were you killing on your 30ish PGL?

Deaggro is not a glitch, it's a game mechanic. Bottlenecking is a tactic to keep from being absolutely destroyed in milliseconds by a large group of mobs you wouldn't otherwise. You try going into Mun Tuy and doing "AoE rotations" on 10 skeletons at the same time and see how long you get into your second cast lol.

It's a game mechanic that may be subject to further adjustment. If it is used in this fashion, SE may be on the path to either make the enemy immune during the deaggro phase or recover large quantities of health.

It sounds to me like they're taking advantage of leashing to minimize damage taken while maximizing damage output, so you can kill swarms of skellies in a few casts with little danger of dying.

That's like saying all battle classes have to do is draw their weapon and auto attack. Sure it can be done this way, but it's not.

The solution to GLD damage is to let them wield a 2nd weapon in their offhand instead of a shield. Do damage and look badass doing it. :3

Of course, with DoW that number is at the very most halved, or in this case, divided by 7 as the highest chain I'm able to manage here.

Why can't we get AoE spells/nukes on DoW?

Its..... over 9000!!!!!!

Sorry.. But yeah, this is clearly broken lol.

Well they could go back to what they had before, where when the mob was going back, it would heal at a incredible rate. for some reason I recall people getting really upset about that. Now that it has been removed... Mobs STILL have the problem of running away from you if you aren't doing enough dmg to them. So if they restore it back to that mess, i don't think people will enjoy that at all.

I would say that regular mobs shouldn't leash if you're actively doing damage to them, regardless of the distance from their territory. Them healing to full when they do leash is fine though; I don't mind that at all.

The most efficient way to do this really is to find a group of mobs that aggro sound (flytraps, wolves, skeletons), and well, aggro the lot of them. If you're gonna push it, you will target a group that is +3-4 your level, and because of this, the initial damage taken (and even x10 ranged on return nukes) even with Stoneskin up is very high and the risk of death is still very real. That's the reason the EXP gain is so massive - because even running from them is risky.
