Legit FB19

Made a squad yesterday for a legit fb19, took me 20 minutes to find enough people, level 19-25, for it. During this time levels 80+ tried to bring me over to the darkside but I held my ground. Every time one tried to sneak their way into my squad I kicked them instantly. Once I had the people we started, myself the cleric, a sin who clearly has a high level main, an archer that tried his best, and a veno who knew a thing or two. I tried to find at least a tank be it barb or bm but alas there was none so we started without them. Things when easy thanks to the sin having a zeal, picked off groups of mobs more then two and the mobs that had two they veno would hold agro of one. Archer died somewhere along the way, somehow someone unknown to me pulled agro of 4 or 5 baddies ending in the archers death but our overall victory. A quick resurrection and a rebuff later we where at the boss. The sin tried to pull mobs with zeal but the cactuses would have none of that he pull the boss, the 4 or 5 mermaids, the one cactus that wasn't killed, and the scorpion. A deadly battle broke out, I tried my best to heal but I only ended up pulling agro, since it was from magic mobs I thought it best anyway so I just started to spam heal myself hoping the others could clean them up while the sin kited the boss around. The archer was the first to go down, pierced by the deadly scorpion. I was next unable to hold all 4 mermaids. Unable to kite any longer without heals the sin was next. All alone the veno desperately sent her pet against the mobs trying to make good her escape but the slows from the mermaids and the 1000 ping that came with it was to much and alas she fell as well.

We decided to try again this time with a new strategy. We ran back to the boss bent on revenge. The veno sent her first pet in, summoning the second as it ran to attack. Once the first hit was landed the second pet was summoned pulling only one mob out of the pack. It was an easy clean up after that. Then the boss was all alone but we where without a tank, we couldn't just give up now that we had gotten that far. The sin bravely offered to tank the beast, and so the fight began. It started off rough due to my lack of experience with clerics, I knew the basics but not everything about them. Luckily the sin had potions and the boss was switching between him and the venos pet. Once I got my bearings I made sure to heal the sin correctly. The mixture of the venos pet and sin tanking won us the fight. Funnest FB19 I've ever had even with one squad wipe, cant wait for 29.

    The very first FB19 I did was just around their 40's and 50's if I remember right. I was thinking how OP those were. I was just a cleric way back when. By the time I quested up to FB69 the tidebourne classes had been released and the first few "aps" toons were just breaking 100 and getting their full interval gear. Everyone was was right around 70 except the sin. He said "watch this" and 2-3 spark cycles later the boss was dead. A lot has changed over the years some for the bad some for the good. Cherish those memories f:sneaky

    Awesome story, and good job :D
    I hope you make this a series: HuntersPack's Legit FBs

    The first FB19 I ever did was with my archer friend and me (veno), we're literally in npc gear and... I think I had a wolf pet (pre-fishland), but we managed!
    It's things like that that really make you feel like you are making real progress with your character and skills, it's a shame fewer people get to feel that feeling these days.

    If it's in the evening, I have a 31 barb or 37 mystic on RT that I could bring (or both... they're on different accounts.) Message YamamoriYuki.

    My first successfully completed FB19 solo with lvl40 veno, in NPC gear of course. Previous attempts failed due to squad being over-runed by mobs accompanying the boss, refusing to pull. And failed attempts to solo.
    I did have a feeling of accomplishment. I don't ever have it now.

    You know what's legit?
    Fbs, when the game was still in beta and none of us had any clue what to expect within these instances. No genies, none of these goodies we've come to experience.

    They need to increase rep rewards in these FBs to encourage newbs to get out of FC for at least a few minutes.

    Even back then, higher levels did FB for the rep. "Legit" FB needed a barb, a cleric (sometimes 2), and a veno...then archer/bm/wiz. Occasionally you have wizard tank, which was interesting...wizard was the lowest level that could tank FB29.

    It give 2 reputation points now.

    And it is more than enough, because for rank 1 (at level 30) player need 100 points of reputation (other quests give reputation too).

    All the more reason to boost the rep gain.

    I'm pretty sure rank 1 needs 300. Or at least that was the case before.

    And IMO, it's not close to being enough to the amount of incentive rep needed to get newbs that want to powerlevel to R9 out of FC and experience something else in the game.

    Yea, it is 300 reputation points and level 30. And every player can get these from quests, if he play game.

    Powerlevers not need reputation from quests, they want powerlevel instead.

    If they buy their levels, then this is their problem.

    When i started, we did the FB on our own in the faction and it was cool. It was a normal thing to do

    Nowadays you open up such threads to bring it to the people, that you did a fb in your levelrange with people your level and everyone salutes you.

    I did have a feeling of accomplishment. I don't ever have it now.

    TBH, not an accomplishment, especially dieing to an instance way lower leveled than you. Soloed with no deaths on a veno that was level 23, probably took longer to kill the mobs than you probably.
    Sage barb in progress.

    I never said it was an accomplishment. I just started playing, I was a noob and I sucked :3 It did feel this way regardless. After few attempts at level 19 I left it alone until 40, that's all.
