Best made plans...

I had planned to spend my summer break leveling both PLD and BRD. Well, I've got PLD to 58 and BRD hasn't been touched. Normally I'd push ahead with this as much as possible but I've been sidetracked by merits. I figured that my WAR is good in most merit situations, although I'm not 100% comfortable using it at birds. I felt that my Dragoon could potentially be superior at the bird camp. So I decided to..

Use WAR at events that need heavy dd and non bird camp merits.

Use DRG at bird merit camp.

DRG is now full merit and I'm working on getting a pimp version of the Fay Lance. I managed to get a sidegrade augment of DMG 3 - SRT 2 - Dex 2. I have another Fay Lance in inventory and will endeavour to beat those augments. Using the damage calculator I've fine tuned the gear I have on DRG and have been slightly surprised by two things. 1. Askar body > Heca body at bird camp. 2. Cuchulain's mantle coming out ahead of Forager's at tp gain as well as ws. I know that neither is the case if I tried it on WAR.

Got my highest ever ws against a merit mob today using Drakesbane.





The LS I belong to SpiritOfTheWolf is still going strong. It has a real mix of characters and is well led. We are continuously successful at various tiers of ZNM and have skilled members in every department. We decided to take on Byakko for long term ls member Falk and won a very smooth fight. Now Falk has probably the best piece of armour in the game Byakko's Haidate. I've purchased 2 pop sets for Susaku and hopefully we can do them whenever we have a quieter slot on a Sat night.

This guy NEVER waves back!






I should have checked there was water before I took the dive.
