Apelred trains his herbalist

Apelred trains his Herbalist in the Ultimate Words of Healing skill and to compensate for the power it costs, he trains the Resurgent Power (Rank 12 = +329 ICPR) and Boundless Resolve (Rank 12 = +304 Morale, +65 Power) traits.

The Flaming Halflings visit Annuminas and triumph in Glinghant and Ost Elendil

Brenville, Colzarak, Stuball, Findo & Apelred claim Annuminas for the free peoples and open Glinghant and Ost Elendil instances. In Glinghant the double power cost caused lots of difficulties but we defeated the darkwaters & huorns to face & defeat Nengon. Then on to Ost Elendil where we found the trick of steering the guards into the light to damage them. A weird rendering problem meant for a few steps you were floating over the lake. In the final chamber we had a strange reset (possibly a timer) so worked our way down the chamber opening the blinds one by one. Finally we all stood back and let Colzarak tank Balhest to avoid is flaming AOE and the two hunters finished him off. Apelred celebrated by sitting on the throne.

Florandir aids Legolas

Florandir aids Legolas to defeat the wood trolls and completes Vol 1 Book 4 after recently hitting Level 41 and completing Light of Hope (heal) and Subtlety of Wisdom (mez) deeds. A crafting session for L41 Guild Critted kit is on the cards.

Apelred looking forward to Grouping in Strength Stance

The Turbine Dev Diary describes some very welcome changes to the utility of Hunter traits which mean Hunters will be able to stay in Strength Stance while grouping thus making some ground back on Runekeepers as the main DPS class. Hunters also get better options for Crowd Control and the possibility of a fellowship Purge Poison.
