Subject: Slightly OT Spoiler request


Heyo fellow loremasters!

I was looking for info on the Shimmering Orb. I heard it is found
in Upper Guk, but have no idea where. That place is huge! Any info on this
would be appreciated. Also, what am I supposed to do with this stupid
Bloodforge Hammer? I swear, you help a dwarf out, get him his vengeance and
the little twerp gives ya a really heavy cool magic weapon ya can't possibly
use. What's up with that? Must be some kinda dwarf joke on us poor wood
elves. So some info on the Orb would be great, surely someone must know
more than I. And, if ya got a friend looking for a big hammer on E'ci, give
me a tell.

Kitasi of E'ci

as far as casters you are fighting not getting interrupted much, they
probably have a higher channeling skill than a player caster at the same
level, just as they can punch or slash for so much more. channeling is what
allows a caster to continue casting a spell even while getting hit. plus
the other mobs you are fighting may have a bash or stun skill that is a lot
higher than a player tank at the same level (not to sure how these melee
skills work, i just started a paladin and have never played anything other
than bard or wizard).

i don't know why i answered i don't even know what i just said =P i'm still
waking up and bored to death at work.
