Doing lotus marsh abyss on a level 40 nowadays with the gear given to you is impossible.
This is based all on soloing as most people when they party want to get power-leveled. Roughly
75-85% of parties for lotus marsh are a power level party with a strong level 50
10-20% are parties that don't have a level 50 but are strong enough to do abyss, or maybe just master
5% or less are parties that go together to do quests
This also depends a lot on the class. As a pally he can solo stuff pretty easily without dying, it'll just take a while. If you play a new sorceress, unless you invest a lot of money into low level gear, you have to do hard mode, maybe master, just to pass lotus marsh dungeons.
Ah right, forgot I tried Abyss LM on my Gladiator and was soundly tossed around. I stuck to Masters, but I still finished before I even finished 3 or 4 quests from the main story. And yeah, my Mystic I'm trying out is the only char I haven't had living in Abyss modes seeing as she dies too easily and also has a great lack of DPS compared to the Alch/Acro I'm working on which both solo Abyss with great ease. Granted, I do use the gold I gather running dungeons on Epics and usually +6 at least a weapon/off-hand. I've never been one for party grinding as the few times I've tried it, my exp and speed suffered. On my Engi I solo'd Master's RV faster than any party I joined could do it on Abyss and I didn't have to wait on people who had slow computers or things to take care of irl. Nowadays I only join parties for nests and dailies.
Which reminds me, Group 4 made it to Kalahan today, we could have won probably had we all been on the same page at spiders and Kalahan. On our second run only 1 died to spiders because a few of us hid in a corner to wait out the swarm when we could have DPS'd it fine. And at Kalahan we were too scattered for FF and we noticed after most of us died that had we gathered and gotten FF, we could have probably DPS'd Kalahan after the first flower.
