So, atm I'm 146. Leveling solo in PF is difficult when I want to level off mobs that are worth my time (4-6 Trickor or 1-2 cornus+brachiums). My gear isn't that great honestly, so I'm terribly squishy. While I can make either of these options work, I'm on the fence as to whether I should combo or stunlock (don't want to combo-stunlock as there is too little of a margin for error.)
I've got probably the best dps combo possible for leveling (aside from infernal impact being 9 instead of 20) however the combo guarantees mobs will hit me at least once every time around. Because of this I can't take more than 2 cornus' + 1 brachium or 5 trickor (3 being type R) at a time. Any more than these amounts and, assuming every mob hits me at the beginning of a new combo cycle, I will die.
Then there's the stunlock option. Using this method I can potentially level on much bigger packs of mobs at once due to only a few hitting me at a time (in practice it's good to assume you will always miss at least one or two.) Problems with this method are the facts that sometimes I miss more than a few and die anyway (particularly at cornus) and it's much slower and, imo less fun, than comboing.
So what do you other fb's think. Would like to hear how other people playing this class prefer to level in the 140+ range. Thanks for your time :)
TL;DR Should I combo or stunlock (not both) while leveling in pf and against what mobs/where should I use the aforementioned method?
Edit: Grammar.
