Basically, though:
* Tenacity pets (ex bears, turtles) - best at tanking
* Cunning pets (ex wolves, spiders) - middle of road
* Ferocity pets (ex cats, raptors) - highest DPS (damage per sec)

Deadmines isn't super difficult and we don't have to be on our A game. With Kineska and Fenris (Delven's pet) to tank, Delven and the 'lock to blast 'em and Duklar to heal we should do juuuuuuusst fine. :)

We don't even need to get all of the quests and stuff first. We just have to meet up in Westfall and start out.

I'll be on as someone so just grab me and I'll be ready to go. :)
Cool! I'll try to log on as Feyla then for some kitty DPS too!

Ok, works for me (assuming this cold medicine doesn't kick my ass...)

How did the Stockades PUG go, Damon?

(PUG = "pick-up group", i.e. playing with folks you don't know)

Well, it wasn't a PUG since it was Bob and Cory who joined in... :D

We won but there were quite a few hairy areas, and at least 2 TPKs (and one more "very close to it")...

Yeah, we ran it with 3. We did okay but we got swarmed a few times. And the last boss's fear effect really screwed me. I got run into 4 baddies that we didn't clear out first and they just pounded me. :)

There are a few quests that we still have to do down there. There's one to kill a dark iron dwarf (I think you pick that up in IF) and a few other bosses that are tied to quests. So we can gather quests and run it again for more practice. I think if we bring in Ken and Lance we'll run through it with no problems.

Yeah, you guys aren't exceptionally higher than that lnstance as far as level goes, so running it with less than 5 is not reccommended.

As long I was holding agro we were fine, but a few times the mobs switched targets (seemed to be a power of some sort), thats when we got in trouble. Well, that and pulling too many enemies at once. Good times, and good practice for tougher instances.

Maybe we can run it again later in the week with Ken and Lance?

Tuesday should work for me. I have another game review to do this week, but I don't expect my review copy to show up until Tuesday or Wednesday, and I probably won't start playing it until Wednesday.

I'm certainly up for Stockades.

Gah - just learned that I'm heading to Cleveland for Tue and Wed evening - driving there tomorrow aft with Roman (groan). Will try to make it if I can, but who the heck knows??

I *think* my work laptop will be OK in an old instance like Stocks.

FYI, I won't be leveling Feyla to keep up with you guys, so she'll stay 24-25. I have more than enough stuff to keep busy with Furry and Eri. You guys will catch up to Furilar & Zug before long though.

Two notes:
1) I should be home around 8 to run Stockades with you guys.
2) The quest for the Dark Dwarf is a chain from Dun Modr.

I'll probably be on at 8:30. I may have to run out and buy a new thermos for Jordan (long story).

I will try to make it if I can. We're leaving before lunch, and it's about a 7 hr drive. So, depending on when we eat dinner, I may be able to attend. (This is assuming, of course, that I'm not being pursued by the authorities after strangling Roman with his seatbelt and leaving him for the turkey buzzards on the shoulder of I-80.)

Note that there's a small patch today if I read correctly.

Tell Jordie that she has to pour the liquid nitrogen in slowly! :D

All this makes me happy as I feel the comfort of not being the only one having these thoughts.

It is his fault he didn't lock the garage.
