4 Men Shroud Completion :D

[iruka41]

Some of us just got bored, we decided to 'try' the Shroud with 5 ppl just for fun.
With one guy gone AFK after the first part, we failed on part 4.
Days later we decided to actually 'complete' the Shroud with 4 ppl.

So here it is, our second try and the result.

Start Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4
Part 5-1 Part 5-2 Part 5-3 Part 5-4 Part 5-5
(Screenshot captured by Zzazo, my guildie.)

Two Rangers, One Sorcerer, One Cleric. No Bug, No Cheating.
Part 4 was the most exiting cause if one of us dies, we're seriously screwed lol.
We agreed that One Ranger and One Barb will work better instead of Two Rangers, but we didn't have a choice.

Taking over 3 hours is definately not an efficiant way to do a raid,
but this was the most impressive raid I've ever expirienced so far!

Oh well, one of the main reason why did it took so long was...
we needed to take a break after part 2 and 4, cause it was just that thrilling >_<

Maybe we can work on the completion times now
(I need better weapons!!! lol)

I has to say it's most impressive you can beat part 2 with 4 people than part 4/5 :-p

Congrats for the awesome run (heh, how can you run this without me ! but I know the communication is the key when you run a short-man raid, heheh. ), keep up those great job!

[buckler]

Awesome work! I bet you needed a break after all that exhilaration!

Thanks
Yeah... a lotta talks came and went during the raid, cause everything was quite fast-paced (well, a fast-paced 3 hours lol)
I think preperation and concentration is much more important than skills, items or builds.
So I'm sure anyone can do this if they're really willing to. (willing to overdoze SP pots and spam heal scrolls? ;P)
Hope to see you again soon

BTW, why isn't Nightward listed in your signature? o_O)

Yup yup, smokes, ice tea, chicken balls in sweet and sour sauce...
I had to consume those more than the sorcerer consuming SP pots lol.
Thanks for the comment!

[Aesop]

I must say I am impressed

nice job guys

[Amaras]

Step one: Speak moonspeak
Step two: infiltrate DDO Korea
Step three: share all their kick ass methods with everyone else

Great job guys

Oh, any why all my toon was still level 14 and one of them are still in progressing... well, because when I come back from my 9 months break, I find out that there's not allow to update your signature with anything more than 4 lines, so I decide not to change it until I can figure out how to fit all my character into a poor short 4 line signature limit

(But I guess most people still know the stonespeaker should know Nightward was playing by the same person )

Gratz on this completiong guys!

There's some friends of mine that want to try this, I told them this is a pain to short man, but after reading this, I'll shut my mouth

You should get your counter move 3 more completions just for this!

[Venar]

Good job!

Another one for Ghallanda.

[smatt]

Nice one!

[Impaqt]

Must say Part 2 is the most impressive to me with such a short group. Congrats....

Parts 4-5.. They would definatly take a lot longer with just 4 of ya, but with 2 rangers, There probboly wasnt much meleeing going on.

[Dragon.Star]

Congrats and Very Nice job

[iruka41]

I personally thought it would be a pain too,
I decided to do this because it was just for fun at the first time.
(Cause one-time-only pain sometimes can be fun lol)

Unfortunately we saw some possibility in our first run so we had to give it another shot

[iruka41]

Yup, definately got lucky on Part2, I must admit.
No teleporting mobs, no fire elemental.
I'd like to believe that the Dice God sent us those easy 4 to make us successful

[Beherit_Baphomar]

Awesome accomplishment.

Why do you think one barb and one ranger would've worked better?

More DPS on parts 4 & 5, but a lot more healing required too.

Id think 2 rangers ranging Big Boy would take longer, yeah, but way less healing required.

Oh and edit; How many rounds did it take in Part4?

[Justicesar]

How many rounds was parts 4 if ya mind me asking???

[KatanAztar]

Iruka41 is emperor chun je

[iruka41]

Couldn't count how many rounds on part 4, sorry I was too nervous lol.

Sorcerer killed all Gnolls, Rangers killed all Orthons/Devils.
So after first couple rounds, Sorcerer's kill count must have increased by 4.

Maybe Zzazo captured screenshots after part 4 with the XP panel up, than we can calculate it fairly exactly.
(I remember all sorcerer's kill count was not much different from rangers after part 4 though)
*EDIT: I mean, after part 3! my bad.)*

[MissErres]

Nice work! Truly impressive.

Honestly tho, I wanna know how you can see anything with all those hotbars.
