Celtic Heroes

Hello all, im Godzilla and a level 181 druid from Taranis. Was looking to get some advice on my leveling abilities solo. Ill go through my gear, build and strategy.

Gear

Head, 6+ touch, vines and HW
Rest is DL gear

Necklace, 200 focus and 1000 poison damage skill
Charm, 8+ vines and lightning
Brace, 5+ lightning, 75 focus and 250 nat magic agg brace
Brace, 350 defence and 125 armor hrung brace
Ring, 7+ swarm
Ring, 9+ nat touch + added heal
Ring, 8+ lightning + added damage
Ring, 50 str and 150 defence

Mainhand, DL totem
Offhand, conquest axe

Build

Max vines, max lightning, 47 swarm, 46 HW, 40 storm touch and rest in natures touch

4.9k hp and 5.6 on combo with rest in focus. (around 900 focus i think)

Leveling Strategy
I level at the 182 mobs infront of the first tower boss on he second floor.
I start with a rotation of vines, hw, necklace skill (when avaliable)lightning, swarm, storm (when avaliable), and auto. That usually nearly kills any 1s or 2s mob so i move on and let the DoT. Because of this i usually have 2-3 mobs on me at any one time but hardly get hit because of high defence + HW. Sometimes the 1s and 2s run out so i move onto the 3s and sometimes 4s and do the same there.

I dont know if im doing anything wrong as currently im doing everything to speed up my leveling including not healing as much and using restos instead but im still only getting 0.8-1 bar per lix while using combos (i use combo when soloing). I like to think that my gear is pretty good a the moment so not sure if that is the problem, i havnt had a chance to look at the new event stuff though so i dont know if there is anything worth buying or stuff to camp for that may improve my current gear.

Im usually hitting 800-1400 with vines, 400-600 with swarm, 900-1800 with lightning, 1000-2000 with storm and my auto is about 300-500 each swing. The numbers seem pretty high to me but i still level at such a slow pace and it leads me to posting this, what exactly am i doing wrong if anything at all, is this really what i have to deal with if i am to attempt and level up?

Im not looking forward to grinding to 220 just to participate at an endgame level especially while leveling at this rate solo, i simply dont have the time anymore. Right now when i level its not about how many lixes i can afford but more so how much xp i get per lix as i dont have time right now but i still wanna help my clan with the new dl bosses so my goal is to attempt and get 196 for floor 4 and i need all the feedback i can get to help level faster solo.

So any feedback is greatly appreciated and i wanna know if i am doing something wrong if anything at all. Sorry if im not able to get back to any replies as im on holiday at the momen and dont have full access to the internet.

Thanks, Godzilla 181 Druid.

Nope. That sounds about right.

My rogue at 184 got about a bar solo. And he has the best of almost everything.. Ur doing ok

That looks really good actually! .8-1 is what grouping usually gives! Keep it up.

Maybe try to get Ancient Wyrmbone Legs (+500 Storm Touch) and Achemical Gloves (+500 Storm Touch) to boost your damage a bit.

Its good to know im doing ok but it sucks getting so little xp on a bar of lix when i know of some rouges in my clan that are in the 200s getting 1-1.2 bars solo

You can't base your leveling speed off the speed of rogues.

I suppose this is true so I'll ask another question

For you druid out there. Post how much you get per lix solo and what level you guys are.

181, 0.8-1bar

194: .5-.6

196 .5

Unless you just love to solo, solo lvling for a druid just sucks at a really high level. I feel like I'm wasting lix when I solo
