My Promotion and What it Means for PD Recruitment

With server merges and raid content just on the horizon, PD has been working diligently on equipping our members and adding some talent to make our team the best out there. Currently, we are seeking a limited number of hardcore, veteran players preferably with EQ1 raid experience. Recruitment is open to all classes at the moment, however that will change as the merge happens. If you have what it takes to be the best at what you do, fill out an app today or contact a PD officer (Anaeran, Tildin, Lenwen, Socratic, Fehm, Ebumar) in game.

6/24/07 - I was promoted to Officer rank in Pravus Dei. I am the new PD recruitment officer and am currently revamping our entire recruitment process, so as to ensure only the best of the best players make it into our ranks. Yup, its gonna get harder folks. Suck it up and apply anyways, its worth it. I am also working with the other officers on general guild management so as to increase our efficiency.
Note: If you're planning on applying to PD, I accept RL dollars and/or sexual favors as bribes in return for a good word on your app. Attractive women only please.

Here's my Flawless Axe, crafted by one of PD's weaponsmiths, Shadowatcher. I finally got my hands on a striking weapon and degimpified myself a bit.


Exploring the Fungus Dungeon in Rumug Swamp seeking Socratic's leg assembly items. Socratic became the first person worldwide to obtain his heroic swamp legs. That's how PD rolls folks.


This guy was just cool looking. He's always up, but we changed that in a hurry.

Pharoah farming. This guy drops one of the better heroic medium belts in the entire game at the moment. He ended up dropping his rare bow for us instead, which ended up being guildbank fodder. Maybe next time.

Almost There

PD is getting serious folks. We may not have much content to work with, but we are focussed on making our toons as good as they possibly can be so we are able to dominate once raid content goes live.
Server merges are on the horizon as well so we are gearing up to remain the top dog on Targonor regardless of who comes to play in our pen. Recruitment is closed for most jobs but if you're an exceptional healer or psionicist (or another class who happens to be insanely good at what you do), head on over to the Pravus Dei link listed to the right there and fill out one o' them thar applications. Maybe you'll get in.

-----------------------------------------------------
Now to talk about me:
Ranger "circle" kiting techniques allow me to kill 15+ mobs at once within 2 minutes of a pull. Each of these gives about 11,000 exp for some pretty sexy leveling.


The scene after a "circle" kiting pull. Lots of dead mobs. Even more exp for me.

Power suit in Xennumet. /flex


Exping/Exploring in the Xennumet dungeon. Mobs here are giant and line of sight on them is all kinds of fucked up. This needs to be addressed asap, as my dps was nearly halved because half the time I wasn't able to see the mob I was attacking. Get on it devs...


Once again an amazing graphical scene. Keep in mind I don't even play on a top-of-the-line machine. This game has so much potential and once certain issues (such as LoS probs outlined above) this game will really be among the top MMOs out there.


This is a group shot of us killing Optimus Prime's nepphew (not really related). I later soloed this guy (yes 5 dot) without taking a single point of damage. I be a leet ranka.
--------------------------------------------

Finally, here's a bunch of screenshots of what I've accomplished lately. After finishing up Graystone (which yielded the bow and cloak screenshotted below) I've been spending my time mostly in Tehatami Harbor/Temple exping and working on lucent faction at the same time. I am currently level 48, and I managed to complete my Lucent jewlery set with the help of a few guildies. Thanks to Socratic, Lenwen, Necrom, Mirkheim, Shadowatcher, Plat, and Tsarsha and congrats to all on a Pravus Dei server first kill of Xarmanx the Decimator.

Adios panther mask.

Wearing 2 of these now.
I'm wearing 2 of these too.
This is the cloak that dropped from the final Graystone battle. I got a Lucent cloak too that will be used as a secondary item for certain situations.

Gloves of Hatred were obtained separately with the help of Dracogirl, Tsarsha and Dante. Clicky effect is a skeleton form that makes me look pretty evil.


All that time in Graystone finally culminated in this- Congrats to Ebumar, Dante, Mediocre and Shadowatcher on our new heroic weapons.
