What should I hunt at level 61?

[Oniros]

Hide and Ambush. Sword and Board. AS around 380 and DS around 280. I tried the Stronghold but had my ass handed to me again and again. Something that crits a little easier and it can't be undead. Thanks ahead of time for your suggestions and strategies.

[Artha]

380 at 61? Is this without any sort of bonuses at all?

[Renian]

No, that's probably with bonuses from a locksmithing ambusher. I only have 342 AS at level 51. That's with COL signs, surge of strength, and a 4x weapon.

[Gan]

Temple in Illistim (dogmatists, hierophants, supplicants)

Tsarks, sprites and a mage or two if you're lucky (eye of v'tull) in Teras.

Stronghold (Illoke)

380 sounds on track for a balanced rogue.

[Edaarin]

Wyneb is ridiculously easy for rogues.

Or suck it up and do Stronghold until you can hunt Rift. I must have died 200 times there in the 10 GS III levels I spent there.

[Stunseed]

< Wyneb is ridiculously easy for EVERYONE. >

Fixed that for you.

[Jolena]

Yah, at 60 Jo is doing very well there. She started hunting there at 57 and she could do it solo without too much difficulty except the occassional dogmatist.

[Gan]

What makes Wyneb so easy is that each of the 3 critters there have specific threat strategies that you can apply.

1. Dogmatists - kill before they cast. They love to bind. They have soft heads.
2. Hierophants - kill before they cast. They love to spikethorn. Soft heads, and can shake stuns/binds.
3. Supplicants - let them swing and get the multi-strike out of the way, then kill them. Rarely will you find one capable of back to back multi-strike (they have 3 swings to it). Soft heads and can shake stuns.

All of them are crittable, and fall easily enough to ambush.

[Stunseed]

Ganalon's got it pretty much on the head. They can swarm, but for a rogue, I'd hide, move a room away and setup the ambush.

As a Ranger, I've finally found a good use for my mana. The Call Swarm is most excellent of usage there.

[Oniros]

Yes the AS is 384 with signs, surge, wspec and a 4x weapon. But those things can be kept up basically for the duration of a hunt. And I am a balanced picking/ambush rogue.
