Evolved Hercules - What Can I Solo?

OFate - Heavens Tear

I know I"m still a small veno - but I've been putting things into place since I was level 1. Now I'm at a crossroads since I see level 89 coming up.

I have the Hercules and need to know what a veno with an evolve one can solo?

I need to know where to put my time.

Do I split it leveling my 53 Cleric - to assist the Veno? Or do I level like a mad person - and get to 100 as soon as possible to evolve my pets?

The Why? I want to farm for coinage to of course buy orbs from users ingame, I want to assist my legion, and I want to just.. have fun.

I've been out of the game for a few years... so I've missed much and still trying to understand the new things that have came out.

Thank you for your responses. I also did look but my question about the cleric is important to me also.

I can solo a fair number of world bosses with my herc, most HH bosses, and can emergency backup tank in places such as CV or WS. However, my herc has bless which gives it a considerable boost to its soloing ability.

If you want to farm for coins, your cleric is at near-optimum level to farm Compound Oils, which are pretty expensive (30-50k on my server). Unfortunately 2x just ended

I'm thinking it's the aoe bosses that would give me issues -- and your advice is very good but I have problems with alts (as in > addition) and I want to do my best to not make an army of them again

I definately am going to learn more about the evolution skills - I feel so noob here....

Thank you

The evolved Hercules is indeed pretty strong. Mine doesn't have bless and has average inherit stats but my gear is pretty good. It can tank a lot of things as far as I've tried but I haven't experimented with it too much honestly so I can't give you much information.

I can certainly say, though, that evolved Hercules is really strong and much tankier. The damage of it also gets better.

Concerning your Cleric...I'd personally focus on the Venomancer and keep the Cleric as an alt character to play whenever I want a change of pace but Clerics are more sought after in squads due to being healers so once you hit lvl100 and probably want to start farming your gear, you'll have an easier time getting into squads as a Cleric (Lunar, Warsong etc.).

I have a lot of acquaintances in-game though, a good faction and I'm a long time player so I've never had particular issues into finding squads.

I need to learn more about the bless and other things they can have. I'm not really understanding how this works.

I've been pulling my gear for level 100 together since I returned and made this veno. Waiting to put the two rings on and cape still and got 1/3 of my tome done.

Already have my Nirvana Shards for all of the sets and still pulling together Lunar mats.

I copied from someones pwc calc - to figure out what to get.

So I guess I"ll hyper, orcale, do dailys till I get up there thank you all.

If your cleric is on a separate account, it becomes a valuable assistant on AOE bosses (Lord of Percussion and Soulbanisher have long enough range AOEs that you'll be in AOE range while healing, but a cleric could stay out of AOE range and heal you. This also works for Ancient Evil if someone else can take care of the adds. You will need decent to very good PDef/HP for all of these bosses.)

Blessing of the Pack (Bless for short; that's also the name of the scroll from Dragon Temple used to teach it to your pet) increases the HP of your pet by a set percentage (depending on level of the skill) for one hour.
