This was my follow up to Zruulg (hero imperial duergar shaman) and was actually at 28 when i deleted zruulg (started to have conflicts). When I started playing him, thought by the time I heroed the game would be a bit more balanced. However that did not happen for some time. I lost interest, played a few other chars, tried to come back, but never really regained interest, realized i was hogging eq, so I finally deleted. Think most of my deaths occurred on the way up (think over half were to havilahd) and at hero I tended to come out on top (when i found a fight, i always did my best to help zorsaul's tally when he was on though), but usually ended up letting whoever i fought get away. All things equal, i prefer duergar to storm giant for a shaman. Now for my thank you's Shokai Zverev The Maran Empire Everyone else, i traveled with many servants and sylvans. Was fun interacting with flontinot from the other side. Kimidan and cuhuzra were definetly good group mates while we ranked, but never really intereacted with either after heroing. Saw a few things from other goodies and ragers which i though were very weak, but i wont go into specifics. Been away from the char too long to remeber many more. Overall had fun.
Thanks for empowerment and not pulling the plug on me. Never thought i had done anything to warrant a tatto so never bothered approaching you about it.
I learned more from your character than I have any other. Out trips gave me more of a love for exploration than i ever had before and wish i had had more to offer you in return, but im still a bit new in my opinion (been playing seriously about a year) and just now getting comfortable with my knowledge base. You are the reason i played as much as i did in my second surge
Balrahd, Talwar, Garenth, and Laureolia:
I hated you as Zruulg, but definitely enjoyed our travels as Aristreide. I had hoped to become a maran at one point but was still fairly inept at pk and didnt really have strong enough rp in my opinion. I like seeing the capabilities of the new paladins from the other side and would like to try one myself if i think i ever have the time. Never really felt comfortable hunting with any of you though because of issues lingering from Zruulg and remebering how it was from the other side. (especially when outnumbered).
I hated many of the younger imperials as zruulg and was looking forward to fighting you. However, most never ranked or deleted. The hero imperials around when i was aristreide, for the most part, where the same around when i was zruulg. I definitely enjoyed the fights i had with wanievre, khayr, and riebold. I was happy when I ranked past havilahds's range (i know bad shokai empoweree).
