Sonoura has Arben's Sword...She is lvl 6 now, after sending Pevy to the can, turning in Hjal's mask, talking to Rhode, and giving Rich 5-6 harts. So far rex has 2 pts and the rest are in LP to 4 in hopes of getn' some more lucky loot. Fear would be good and Blind would be capital!
I was somewhat sceptical going into Arben's chamber with only Rex, Charm, and a lvl 1 FB.
Oh and BTW still kickn' it TOPLESS!
She took a a couple of good hits from the first Skel, before evading him with a few slick moves she picked up dancing GO-GO at the Gents Club in Aleroth. Calling up Rex and using him as a shield, pretty much like using a bouncer from the club, she was able to flank the Boned Bastard with a few cheep shots in the poop shooter.
The next two posed no real threat. Charm the 1st and 2nd goes dn with a FB or two from Rex, which is better than her FB because he can use it one after another with a very small cool dn and roughly the same dmg. Then with Rex at guard it's flank/cheepshot/rinse and repeat.
Going against Arben got a little tricky, but that's the challenge. It basically was a lot of running around playing hide and seek, while timing the cool dns between charm and Rex so that there is always at least one active. Arben hit her at the first with his FB (I guess), but no big thing.
After the 1st Bone Bastard Mage was charmed, It was only a matter of time. I didn't bother trying to charm Arben, as other bosses seem to be immune. I must say, this type of gameplay is a lot of fun so far, as it's a complete turn around from the warrior. I've played a Rang, War and a Hybrid, but this is the first time as a mage or priest only/mostly.
Only time will tell.
I'm not backing out of nightmare mode. So If it doesn't pan out with Amdu then i guess I'll pull a Joram (lol) and start over.
EDIT: One thing I've learned about Charm, if an enemy dies while under charm you do not get the EXP pnts. So you must be selective in the process. That makes sense because during the time of charm he is tagged as friend and you only rec exp for the death of foes. Therefore it does no good to just charm a particularly week guy in a crowd, as the others will just take him out and you loose the exp.
