I am a level 42 destroyer and am leveling at the HC training the lith patrollman areas and am going to stay there untill lvl 44 where is a good place to do trains at lvl 44?
Still front rooms of branded, where you should be right now as well. :p

At 46, move to pavels or back of Worshippers' (IMHO).
Front rooms in branded till about lvl 46, further back in branded until like 52. If you see pikemen, you are not in the right place. There are 3 different mob sets there (dont recall seeing a 4th). The ones that are in the front, and two other types that are in the back. If you see pikemen and gargoyles, your in the wrong spot. I forget what the other ones are called, but I lvled my BH there till 52, and my Warlord sub the same.
Branded has four sets of mobs. None of the back rooms are really as good as those in worshippers.
ok then thanks but where pole at lvl 52?
Front of apostate is fine (IIRC) if you can find a room.
Apostate if you can find the room. Not sure why the mobs at worshippers would be any better than the ones in the back of branded. The ones Im talking about in branded are: Grave overlord, Grave priest, Lith Commander and Gigant commander. lvls 45-47. At 46 those become pretty easy to kill and pretty good lvling till 52. If you can obtain holy weapon, even better. I looked at stratics on the ones at worshippers, other than some of them being higher in lvl....dont see how those would be any better.

I aoe'd at branded alot, when rooms were full I went to garden of eva. And honestly you could lvl there until 57 if you really wanted to. I also did well at patriots when I reached 56-57 or so. I just did the aggro mobs in the front rooms for awhile, then moved back to the back rooms when i got over 60. Then I went to devotion (renamed I think? dont remember). I have also been to some pretty good aoe groups at Forbidden path (front rooms) and Dark Omens (further back....but pretty much same mob set as forbidden path). Of course I did all my aoe'ing back before Interlude, but I imagine those would all still be viable places to aoe.
I seem to recall the mobs in the back of branded (much like the grave priest) being physical resistant, but I might be wrong about the back ones.

I usually find that higher mobs without physresistance still work better.
Oh, DO and FP you would not want to touch till you were 70+. Forgot to mention that :P
Those mobs I listed, are not phy resist. I aoe'd them till the cows came home. Maybe the other mob sets are, but not the ones I listed. From the entrance of branded, if you make the first right....then go through the room.....then make your first left, then left again and all the way down the long hall (a couple of small hall rooms) and go to the end of that. You'll run right into one of those rooms. And there are like 5-6 of those rooms with the same mob set in them back there. Last few times I went, was hard to find rooms...because ppl aoe back there all the time.
I was in the Lith commander rooms not two hours ago. They are, indeed, physical resistant. o_O
Yea, your right. No idea why they always seemed easy to me. Guess with buff pet and ++ pole. Mobs in garden of eva are also resist phy as well I believe. The doll masters, but thats still one of the best places to aoe in the game. Even with the ocasional stun. But yea, you were right, and I was wrong.
I'm going to reveal some ignorance here. What do you mean by physical resistant? I don't recall ever seeing this listed as one of the special "characteristics" of a mob. (I have seen LightArmor type, but I don't know if this is the same thing.)
You new to the game? Oo

Before C5 certain mobs were listed as "Resist physical attack. After C5 they changed it to "Strong pdef". Which is pretty much the same thing. High pdef = higher resist to phy attacks.

And fyi, if you go to l2stractics.com and look at mob attributes, they still list resist physical attack. But the mobs ingame will read strong pdef.
i done back rooms of branded till 54ish i think
mobs are phys resist but i pulled the agro dudes then used frenzy to kill 4 or 5 rooms of the non agro
Back of worshipper's is, IIRC, not physical resistant. But it's been a while since I was there - and I think they are not quite as high level as branded. I stayed there until 52 if I'm not way off. x.x
