Glad it could help. Now you should try to get a logger like HGE, it helps to check which elemental to use on which enemy. Also i recommend you to ask which elemental/exotic damage is good for each boss, wherever you go.

I've had it installed for a bit now, definitely a must have in my opinion. Also isn't there a way to filter the combat log to tone down the traffic. Mainly interested in the SR, whether they are saving on certain spells and my spell damage output?

easy to do:
type in the chat line !filter followed by the thing u want to get filtered until it says in green letters, that it is sent as system message. You can repeat the last command you put by just typing !! and hit enter.
!filter saves !filter sr !filter checks !filter dispel !filter restore !filter brief
now make a right click on the small black bar above the combat log and choose in the radial menu "exclude combat info".
now only the checks and such are displayed and the damage and such is filtered out.

The crown is broken! Thanks so much to tac, redj,spork and paradoom for being excellent guides and helping me shred through these lvl40 tags. For the most part everything went quite smoothly. I definitely need to learn how to position better and adjust my play style to survive the next portion of the game. My 123ac and soloing habits tend to make me run straight into the fray even when it's not needed, especially when someone like lolth strips off your armor, shield and drops greater ruin on you and you roll a 1 Greater ruin kind of a nasty spell, yuanti hit me with one as well....rolled a 1. Instant death. @poliwhirl Other than those situations the gear held up extremely well! As long as not being flat-footed for the most part I would take minimal damage. The only real exception was being surrounded by a few mobs in the abyss and hellforge, had to drop a few heals in there while the meat shields cracked some skulls

Move with mouse to avoid Flat Foot. Also never stand still doing nothing, either move with mouse, cast spells or drink potions. Generating attacks of oportunity is much less troublesome than being flat footed.
Well form now on, always use Nature's Balance on mobs, since their Spell Resistance becomes a major problem.

You know, not many people are aware of FF while using WASD keys, even for old players. It's good to spread the word about that. Oh, and also AOO. Not many know about AOO or how it works specifically.

AAO is a free extra attack against an opponent that causes it: Flat-foot:Basically you lose more than 20 AC, becoming an easy target for most attacks. Both from nwn.wikia.com

Druid does not need any ac if they use stonehold and grease.

Had a pretty eventful night last night. Ruined academy headmaster tag, lvl41, evo tome book and grabbed the 3 epics that i focus in. Shroud, shunt and immutable Then had my eyes opened in the desert-->dustbone run where i was imploded almost immediately All in all it went pretty well actually, i had around 8 deaths most of which were kickback damage and me not paying attention to my health bar. My party mates were all very helpful and knowledgeable though so it was a pretty good experience overall, speaking of xp good lord it came rolling in.

There are a couple of things a pre-60 character can do to make the desert a load less painful, firstly use a Mord immunity ring so the Devariel arrows don't instantly destroy all your protective buffs and secondly get yourself a Preservation shield which whilst having a meh AC bonus gives immunity to implosion allowing you time to do stuff whilst the implosion spammers are attempting to take you out. Once you get to level 60 there are a few other options for implosion immunity.

I'd be interested in acquiring that shield...is it a drop?
Completed Uros run, rolled last but managed to get my first sub book! UR baseborn titan. As my lvl creeps closer to being able to use subraces(currently 48) I'm really wanting to get a hold of at least the fallen angel upgrade, I realize i need 2 but if anyone wants to trade at least 1 for the titan or make some sort of deal let me know, hint hint.
Last night went to myco area with 1 other party member(melee type) and gotta say thus far it has been one of the best runs i had. Not because it was easy..far from it...but because we are both relatively new and had to figure out how to accomplish our tasks on our own. I really read the run wiki forwards and back and for the first time everything has sort of clicked in regards to LL areas and being really on point with swapping rings/gear around to have the best immunity% for the areas you're in. Went through all my druid spells in the first area to learn what works for my druid and what dosen't work on the bestiary, used lots of harms, stonehold works for some of the baddies to break up the mob a lil, singers i found if I spammed 2-3 aoe drowns would usually go down. Not gonna lie it was a long hard slog and frankly neither .Ikarus or myself thought we would be able to take the myco king, but after several dirt naps, alotta bombs and firestorms he finally went down. He really likes to heal btw.
Pretty decent loot too and snagged an assassin ego.
