Hope this is the right section to post this in. Anyways, i'm a Lvl 69 Sin trying to find a good spot to aoe mobs. Mobs that are on the ground, that don't range attack you - they attack upclose. And ugh... I don't have any charms either XD. I know something is out there somewhere.

    My BM is level 68 [yes i know, not sin.... but i do have one so thats why im here] and he AoEs on seaweed thieves by sanctuary, on the mountains of morning dew [approx 672, 568]

    They are all physical, on the ground, will aggro, and not run away to magic attack or range. Perfect.

    They are level 72 I think though. Not too tough for BM but never tried sin there.

    Seaweed theives east of Sanctuary are nice

    Also theres a small spot between the wraithgate and village of the lost where there are some mobs called Deep water Hermits, those are fun also.

    Um..... If your feeling gutsy, go to Nightscream Island and pick a fight with some of the pirates there, there's a mix of different types from melee to melee/casters, and they all look the same.

    Just outside Dreamweaver there's the Cougarets and the Rhino things, but I never bothered with the rhino mobs. The cougarets hit hard, but drop decently.
    Apparently its more difficult to milk a smurf than originally conceived..

    Here's a hint: count the amount of AoE's a sin has.
    I see 2. Is that enough for effective AoE grind? Noooooooooooooooo

    Just go kill mobs 1 by 1, your not a BM (and 1by1 is more than fast enough anyway as a sin)

    I AoE with My Veno and it has 2 AoEs. You may say that is different you have a Herc. I only use herc to round them up then I Noxious(this gets all the mobs on me) Nova and then 2 seconds later I noxious again and it kills the specific mobs I AoE grind for pet loyalty. Sins can do the same but spark before they start with Wolf Emblem thrown in. and if those 3 arn't enough use a Bramble rage or Tangeling Mire should push you over the edge with a refined and sharded weapon.

    @OP, here are two vidoes of sins AoE grinding at DWP pirates:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rc7jLMTXfHk

    Both of them are 8x so I would AoE on seaweed thieves for a couple of levels.

    1-39: These are the only levels u should be doing quests.
    39+ Now u can aoe grind.

    39-60 the little somethings south of sundown, schrunchkin warriors, berserkers, feligars at dragons end. Take 4-5 at a time, ur xp will still skyrocket.

    60-72/74

    I agree. Before 89, aoe'ing with a sin is a waste of potions/charm for mana and hp AND time. Take a look at how much damage you do 1v1 with normal attacks in the same time it takes to cast an aoe. The dps is comparable when there are 2-4 mobs.

    But,
    If you go interval demon at 89, it takes longer to pick up the coins after a mob dies than it takes to kill the mob. You can kill 6 or more mobs in one spark, so it becomes more effective to pull 5-8 mobs and take them out 1 at a time without aoe's. So that would require a good aoe grinding spot.

    Uh, maybe Blademasters can AoE grind at 39+, but Assassin's don't even get their first one till 49, and their second at 59. I don't care what kind of gear you have on, you should not be trying to AoE grind at 49, let alone 39. Even at 59 I would question it unless you were in a zhen party where you're Subsea Strike is amplifying damage. You should be taking note that the mobs in question are 8x, and the OP is 69. The players in the videos are both higher level than the mobs and still take considerable damage, as well as both having over 4k HP and are probably charmed as well as an extra precaution, with Focused Mind and their AoE's maxed.

    By no means am I saying Assassin's cannot AoE grind, but I will say that I would find it extremely risky and unwise unless you have exceptional gear and the necessary skills maxed.

    Didn't get the rest of it, but apparently I am the "destroyer of sin haters" as well.

    Wow only 2 days; I didn't think I'd receive this many replies. Anyways after much wasted pots and money I've come to realize that aoeing mobs is not for a lvl 69 sin. Sure i've tried on a lot of mobs but it just seems like i have to aoe several groups of 9 mobs just to get .1 exp... and use several potions. I'm gonna have to say that 1by1 is probably the faster way at least for my level as of now. I'm going to give the seaweed things a shot but i don't think it will be that great.
