Almost level 50... need some advice

[kamikazees]

...in your decked out pally do the cyber quests for the int/str gear (opposite of what you have)....

That is a very interesting idea. I can buy the rift set and keep playing as a pally for now, then quest for the cyber mage sets. Maybe by that time I can decide to stay as a dual, or switch over to mage full time. Honestly I love mage damage, but hate getting 1 and 2 shotted. Great advice!

Until you reach 53, you'll find leveling up in AO2/3 much better for three reasons: 1. The maps are generally easier, 2. Much more regular drops, 3. You won't encounter as many game boots from higher level players, which can be demoralizing after a while.

Looks like I'll be in AO3 for awhile anyway.

So I guess now I'll poke around the Trader's Market for someone selling a rift set with overlord helm and scimitar...
