Power level at Droks question - Guild Wars Forums

Angel Killuminati · Jan 23, 2008, 01:21 PM // 13:21

Completed Factions, Nightfall and EoTN and only got Prophecies recently...yeah weird I know, but I have a question regarding power levelling at Droks.

I want to power level a few friends in the Troll cave and have solo farmed them easily with my 55 SS Necro, but I haven't tried levelling anybody 'up' yet as I'm wondering how the lower level would stay close to you as you run past the first small group of Trolls and Avica, just outside the entrance to the cave? (the small incline leading towards it.) Surely the lower level would die?

I know since the old nerf, a player in your party needs to be within a certain radius to gain the XP from you fighting creatures, but how would the lower level get past that first group of enemies without dying? Or do you have to use rebirth after you have broken agro? Does the lower level need a shadow stepping skill such as recall?

It's probably really bloody easy...but for some reason I can't think of a possible way LOL.

Could somebody please answer my question and solve my crazy thoughts?!

Oh, and these days, what's the best/quickest way to farm the Trolls for quick exp? Gladiators defence warrior is way too slow, SS Necro gets interupts slightly, although u can lure out the interups with certain longer skills. So I was thinking maybe Mist form Ele with Glyph of Sacrifice - Meteor shower and other AoE skills?

Thanks in advance!

you distract they run like hell, then you haul ass. Or you tell them to bring a speed buff and use the prior strategy.

The safe, albeit slow method is to use h/h to kill the mob, then just flag them away when you get to the cave.

Tried levelling a level 4 person at The Marketplace against the warriors there, she didn't get any experience and was just outside agro range....

...weird?

They have to be inside aggro to get exp.

Does anyone know why the change?

hug either the bottom wall or the top wall and run like hell. you should get hit by 1-2 dual shots. if you strafe you wont get hit at all. FPS skills are ftw.

If your party member can bring a maintained ench like retribution, they should get the XP even if they are outside aggro.

When playing a bonder, I know i get XP from the baddies even though sometimes I never enter their agro
