I was the friend who got fed up with 2 failures and said, "Murder! I need a ****ing completion! Put this **** together!"

Obviously, he didn't have much choice in taking a tank along, but I did good...even managed to intimitank Sulu despite 2,000 latency, 30% loss, and being lagged about 5 minutes behind the rest of the group. /flex

And yeah, he isn't quite the Nazi his OP would indicate. Took some unbooted folks, a couple monks (though at least one had very good DPS).

Most importantly though, we got that **** done! 3 to go to for 20!

I will say, however, that Murder is a gimp because he was shield blocking while we were taking Sulu down. =P

march 10th sometime that evening ill be hosting a couple of raids
all are accepted but im still gonna balance out the raid as best as possible

[Superman22]

before we go off into the deep zone on monks
we have mazlin on khyber he is off and on again he is st8 up the best str monk i have ever seen. even before death touch he is a monster monk human with qstaff that does nothing but combo all his monk attacks when most do not.

i just using monk as example it could be finnese ranger, sb type its usualy not good to go for a sulu kill with less then optimal damage
my set up is someone who can hold horoth agro someone who can hold sulu agro and 3-4 others who are max dps types and then a monk or ac ranger or defender type

ill list the last sulu raid make up
1 fighter(me) base hp 644 on horoth i used a great axe and hitting intim got agro, had the party step in waited for sol to drop and went to sheild blocking once he did
the rest
2 wf fb
2 skilled str rangers w/kopesh
1 dual pick fighter halfling
1 monk
3 healers<<they used 0 pots and still had about 2 k spellpoints between the 3. 3 clerics are for comfort it can be done with 2
1 bard
1 caster
27 minutes

they were all dps orientated the raid was cake sol was dead fairly quickly i should have timed it but roughly took 3 min or less to kil sol

so seriously if i know you your my guildee or friend i might just take 2 defensive/monk types but the rest are still going to be max dps types

I agree with your requirements although the numbers are a little bit strict. "MYDDOing" the people coming in is awesome, now you can filter out the people who are trying to jump past their potential. You have to crawl before you walk, hence you farm your boots and do shroud to make GS before you do Tower. A high AC/DPS tank on sulu with the bard healing him would work better for the healers like vod while a barb is tanking the General. This works the best for time, mana, deaths, pots, and so on.

Pardon the interruption. Did you MYDDO (No disrespect) that cleric you brought in our party the other night for those elite runs through Amarath. I am certain you did not. I guess it wouldn't apply as those quests are 6 man quests.

When that Cleric said I will buff you real good in a tone that was ummmm Flaming! that was too Funny! Bunny where are you?

He was using the Madstone Shield as well! He turtled up while we were working on Sulu to alleviate the burden on the clerics a bit.

Someone needs to get some more Hound runs done!

You only use 1 hotbar?? I am sure you have multiple bars full of stuff, but they are under the main one?

The way i look at it, if it takes longer to form with the cream of the crop then it would to run it with whats there, its not worth it usually. This is not always the case, but if you have squishies you can let em die quick and let them hit the res shrine when its done

well i did a raid last night and before i could even send a tell i just got max dps after max dps
wf barb with epic sos
wf kotc with devine might 4 :P
another wf barb
a sick str ranger
twf kotc with kopesh >>>me
kensai 3 fighter
the best hands down dps bard ive ever seen and when i mean dps i mean just that dps lol not just his songs
3 top tier healers
1 kiter sorc

uhm i didnt refuse anyone except someone without boots and a 19 will save. and this grouped gatherd fairly quickly without me having to look to guild(which were in epic 6) or who list
filled fast waited on epic sos barb to get out of dragon which took the longest but i waited cuz he was a friend lol

we all kinda were like feeling a bit overpowered and the raid underpowered was literaly no challenge besides the lag monster in part 2 heh should try on elite or at least hard heh

Jus' saying, there were 2 ToD groups going at the time. And ours filled about the same time as the other one did, and that is including waiting an additional 10 min for the Barb in von 6. We also completed in 31 min, including waiting for someone for 3-4 min while they had to reconnect. If you have a big group of people regularly running it. Then the wait is trivial and the completion is flawless and usually under 30 min.

Hi my name is murderface and i like to murder sol part 3 of tower

clerics/fs must have some other way to protect themselves besides will save
bards just have max song length and if u get banished then we still have your songs
mages pretty much same thing unless your repairing wf then u got to have some boots or scarab
r
so if your toons hp is no lower then 400 for rogue 500 for pally/ranger 520+ for fighter 545+ standing for barb(750+raged) all elven get a -20 hp discount k(horoth tanks should at least maintain 675+ hp)

must use a weapon that bypasses dr

so if you like optional chest lemme know completions are usualy under a half hour

lol

Dude, you've been around for like 3+ years, and you still think setting minimum HP thresholds is the way to go? I know it's the easy path for the simple minded, but most outgrow that type of thinking eventually.

im using that as a par stand point if they have 375 as a rogue ill take that but 300 thats out

sure, but there are more important things to getting a solid group then the op's requirements.

The shroud group I ran a 15 min shroud in (at the time the fastest) also did super fast vods and we maybe had one or two max dps people in there. Speed is not all about dps, nor are smooth runs. That is/has been my point.

[Murderface]

gonna do elite sulu+horoth kill gonna need maxed types and just a really good cast

quickster i agree with u there
speed is all about just speed dude
it just so happens that on khyber most of the good players play dps or have them it doesnt matter. im pretty sure i wont have to search all night to get a raid together

[sephiroth1084]

I'd bring Ferrum for that, and just go GTHF the whole time probably.

For elite I think your OP requirements are appropriate. Elite tod is a world apart from normal.


GL on the lewtz and happy raiding.

[Murderface]

and may the luck of fortune find you as well

[Murderface]

sometime in the evening est i will be running tod elite with optional
so far have axer, hydro, sowan, bluntgirl, murderface and for now thats all i know who are coming(some might not so . send me a tell the raid make up will be like this
6 max dps tanks maintaining at least 600 hp, 2 casters one can be fleshy or two wf need a good wf recon man. and a good warchanter with boots hopefully that can also melee
also 3 healers everyone must have boots or scarab or both or boots and mantle. boots+mantle or scarab=WIN not light side monk running around doin nothing except avoiding something that could be taken care of by the healers themselves

were not looking for just a win but Domination
DPS WILL BE MAXED!!!! , and reminds you always do TOD with optional. as for the haters and the non beleivers dont make me do it!
