I'm a pure ranger (can be a marksman, interrupter, or trapper depending on the group) looking for some players to quest with in UW and/or FoW. My guild is fairly small and not high enough level to come with me, and gathering a PUG is very taxing on time and patience. Is anyone interested in forming a group with me that can gather together with some consistency/frequency for questing in these areas?

As long as you don't go trapper, send me a whipser in game and I'd love to.

I'll be on a bit after I run some errands and eat dinner, probably around 7 PM. I'll be sure to send all of you who have responded some whispers. Thanks for the interest See you all in game.

bumpity bump... anyone else? There's room for a bunch more. Come on, we don't bite... hard...

Seriously, questing is even better than running. Stuff still drops and you get exp for skill points. AND you have fun instead of mundanely trying to find a run group, run smites or whatever, and then repeat. Who wants in?

Sign me up. Very good E/Me Pryo Aoe Mage with great engery mangement
If "Kinra" responds it's not me (I share accounts). I badly want to explore Fow / Uw and drops being secondary.

(Edit) Opps wanted to clarify. I share my account but we don't share characters. I only play Eternal Tempest. If a character with the name "Kinra" responds it's her character.

Shoot, I'm game...
Tsen Oneblade is my W/Mo tanker

Or, I also have a Mo/Me healbot named Bardic Bainson.

Either one of 'em would be down for a good constructive run through either FoW or UW. But please, if we do UW, don't be stupid like damn near every single group I've ever had and take that quest that summons the Vengeful Aatxes that get us all killed. Or like the UW group I had where one of our monks used vengeance on one of our tanks, AFTER the battle was over. We're just about ready to move out and he suddenly goes "Wait, you cast WHAT on me?" and falls over dead again. Oh boy, was that group special...

Please, give me some credit. I'm not "special" like that monk who cast vengeance after a battle. I'm not someone who has been down to UW a whole lot, but I learned very quickly not to take the quest until after we've cleared some of the aataxes out. I posted here because I'M TIRED of the people who do those sorts of things. PUG's are ruined by people like that. But yea, I'll add you and Eternal to my whisper list.

That's cool Shwitz, I wasn't aiming my comments about stupid groups/players at anyone in particular around here, just illustrating the kind of silly crap I'd like to avoid in general.

edit: Wow, what a difference a good group makes. Got into a Fissure group formed by a guy who was very specifically recruiting experienced, serious players- wanted to get his fissure armor crafted, and he needed a skilled group to help get there. So after a few mistries and false starts and weeding out idiots (including a tattoo-wearing Leeroy Jenkins-style monk!)and afk freeloaders we got a solid group together and pretty much stomped the hell out of everything the Fissure threw at us. Smoked all the early quests and the stuff needed to get the armor, and most of us decided to stick around a bit longer. Little after dude got his armor we lost our necro(bedtime) and one of our 2 tanks(no explanation, just vanished), but with just six of us we got through the Army of Darkness quest, despite at one point being down to 3 guys alive and on the run. Survived that near disaster, res'd everyone, and finished the quest.

After that everyone was pretty well spent out and we all parted, but damn if it wasn't just the best group I've had for one of these outtings. No idiots, no lameness, just 8 solid players working together and kicking all asses. So see, it CAN happen, you CAN get a good group! You just have to work a little harder and be a little more patient.

I wish I had that kind of time to devote to finding a good PUG and then playing through the whole FoW, but I usually can't play for 6-8 hours at a time. The most I can play for consecutively is probably around 3-4 hours, as real life often intrudes on my GW time. And then there's also that little part about not being able to find a good group to get thru the quests. I've never been past the second quest in either UW or FoW. That's awesome that you got through all the quests and to the Fissure forge though. I've never seen the ranger fissure armor... and I probably will never wear it... but I wonder what it looks like...

Anyway, I'll be sure to message you when I'm on, free, and America has favor of the gods. Any of you can feel free to do the same to me if you're heading into either UW or FoW and we have favor, I don't mind getting beaten to the punch.

Hopefully see you IG

Yea... I keep showing up a few minutes too late. I haven't been into FoW or UW in the past few days because everyone is all ready in there by the time I sign on and whisper. Oh well... I guess I need to sign on while Korea has the favor and is about to lose it, haha...

I'd be happy to come. I can be either a normal Marksman (R/Mo) or an Interrupter (R/Me). I'm not very experience with FoW, having only been there once, and I haven't been to the UW yet.

I understand where you're coming from. I'm not exactly part of a guild, so I have no choice but to rely on PUGs. Last night, I ended up waiting around in the Temple of the Ages looking for UW or FoW groups for about an hour. Non trapper groups were only interested in finding monks, warriors and elementalists and whenver I politely whispered a leader of a trapper group, I was ignored.

I'm flexible with what I can do; the necromancer secondary isn't set in stone either. I'm patient, I can be online at any time, don't feel the need to criticise others in the group.....and know not to accept the "Unwanted Guests" quest. =P If this sounds like someone you'd like to play with, then give me a shout. Being in a competent UW or FoW group would be better than fighting solo outside Thirsty River for several hours. ;_;

I'm pretty much up for anything, although questing is the biggest draw for me. I'll be up for smite runs though. Still have yet to recieve a single Storm Bow and I'd rather not buy them from someone.

I'm new to FoW and UW, but since I didn't see any similiar builds here, I thought I'd chime in. Add Tardoeus Tilrin to your friends list if you want an "anti-warrior" hex-spammer. Now, my skill bar is sort of nebulous at the moment (I fill like the build won't really come together until I get my grubby little hands on "Feast of Corruption"). If you want, I can double up as a support character, spamming Order of the Vampire and such.
Anyway, call Tardoeus Tilrin, Necromancer/Mesmer, for all your blood-sucking, corpse-defiling, demon-spawning needs.

You know, I was in a UW group -pretty solid one, actually- that had a necro minionmancer(bone fiends, I think) and damn if they weren't really handy for drawing fire, helping the tanks form a solid battle line ahead of the soft targets, and delivering a bit more damage. Of course you can't go wrong with Well of Blood either, once that first aatxes goes down. I have no idea what skills he had brought along or anything else, but a good minionmancer/blood necro would seem like a nice addition to any UW group.

Necromancers are very nice to have around. My experience has been the group with a Necro using blood magic can recharge the monks in a damn hurry. Can't go wrong with an unlimited supply of energy!

A note to all who have posted here - I have you on my friends, and will PM you whenever I'm forming a group. Whenever America has favor and I'm on as Daeron, expect a whisper

Minion Death Master Necro here! I just finished a several hour journey with an otherwise all Ranger trapping group with my necro. I was only invited because they know I'm good. We had to leave at the end because it got as late as 5 AM for some folks and couldn't kill all those phantoms that bring out 3x more when you kill one.

But I'm in!

I have a healer monk/smiter monk, All purpose Ranger (different sets of armor for different purposes), Ax Warrior, and Necro Minion Master with 12 in blood, 16 in death.

I agree with the PUGs. You never know what you're going to get. We all know that one bad noob move like taking quests ends the entire thing. However I have gathered a list of respectable teammates who whisper me invites to go to UW/FoW. But I could always use more!

In game names so far:

Tara Hotshot (R/Mo)
Lord Foul Bane (W/E)
