Re: 2 questions from a Vanguard newbie

To further elucidate (ok... maybe I just wanted to use 'elucidate' in a sentence...):

I was running through the epic (in length at least!) quest line of Captured Slave (not the name - it's the target) to Kill the Gnoll Commander in VOH with my lvl 12-16 Shaman (yes, it is a long quest line hehe) and I got to a point where the dev hadn't put in the last parts.

Then it was patched and we zoomed ahead - I finished the parts 'first on server' (not when it went live tho ) and got to the second to last step, a click before the last kill. There was a slight bug that allowed you to 'complete' the step before doing the work and at 3AM I just clicked all 'continues' and messed it up.

Dev was able to patch that next morning to fix it, he was already aware of it I think when I posted the bug. But alas, I could not continue the quest since it 'competed' for me. After all that time... I couldn't wait for release...

When we got the chance to buff to lvl X, I made one a shaman 35 ... and speed through the quest line all over again solo. I thought I'd only have a problem if I had a bad spawn and was mobbed in Orcbane because of killing some of the 4dots slowly (lvl 12-13s - I had not clue of speed of killing yet at 35...) but it turned out not only did I not have to worry about that, but that I could walk in between all but the most close together mobs and not aggro.

I would sometimes float over one and aggro it though (I was forced to go Phoenix pet by the buff - gotta say WOW tho on the pet DPS compared to other pets) so I COULD aggro, just it was I think ala old EQ (updated, I think OLD OLD EQ rules had u aggro anything anytime ;P normal ranges, but maybe I was just bitter then pre RoK, lol) rules.

Great quest - take the time to enjoy the storyline if you are in VOH. They took away an early reward (which imo outshone the last reward for casting classes at least - so prob a good thing...) but it is a rockingly designed line. Do it.

Do it.
