shroud on hard

[akla_thornfist]

well we went in on hard last night and i have to say there is a big difference from normal, the raid is a blast very intense we did pretty good for first time on hard got all the way to part 4 and learned alot, the only problem i see is the amount of scrolls and pots needed to complete this raid on the higher levels will make it not worth the effort. i was on my cleric and burned 346 heal scrolls and 12 mana pots the other clerics used about the same, imho the resorces needed to complete on hard or elite far outway any reason to complete it. anyone else been in there on hard and if so what was your resorce consumption and how far did you get thanks akla

I was talking about this with people earlier.

I think we have to remember that we're still new in regards to lvls and equipment.

Once people start going into the raid with 12 capped characters, all with crafted items, and the experience and strategy of many completed shroud raids on normal, the resources used up at hard and elite setting will drastically come down.

We have to remember that a lot of people are going into the raid now w/ a mix of lvl 15s and 16s, all with lvl 12/14 items. We have to use a lot of consumables now b/c we're going in there w/ inferior equipment, into still a new raid (even if beaten), with characters that haven't maxed their lvls/aps.

Gotta agree with Mhykke. Once we've got this raid down on normal, then hard will become much easier and then finally elite will become just like an elite SR run only longer. We'll all be capped, heavily twinked and bored again but it will be just as easy.

that will make a small difference im sure but i bet only 20-30% less so thats still alot of guild money going up in smoke that could be spent elsewhere

I don't know, it just seems to me to be a bit early to be having this discussion....After a month or 2, when more people have the raid beaten consistently, when people start going in there with more powerful items, if it's still as tough, then maybe then.....But right now, I don't know, just seems we have a ways to go yet.

Didn't the 6 ranger party spend very little in consumables in the whole raid on hard? Except, of course, for ****loads of arrows.


Think this may come down to tactics.

im sure it will get better but me thinks i will be broke by that time

I think it was more the smash-mouth tactic we were using that made it so resource-intensive. As stated above, we'll polish it out over time.

I have to agree with Davey. We definitely didn't smash through like we're used to, but we did use pretty smash-mouth tactics, as he pointed out.

We might need to add a couple rangers....

so i guess i can assume they've fixed the bug that doesn't allow repeating the raid after solving?

Not really.

If you want to repeat, you have to send a ticket, get a GM, and go through a process to be let back in.

[Jhoran]

ah ok.

ty for the info

[akla_thornfist]

im sure we will get better at it just hope i can afford to keep running it.

[CSFurious]

once, it has been live for 6 months, you will probably laugh at the raid

anyway, all members of the party need to make donations to you, you are the cleric, do not join up unless you get some moolah

peace

i dont have a problem with that are guild takes care of there clerics and my other characters send alot of plat to my cleric. but the 6 chest we were able to get wont cover the cost at this time.
