ER to host teaching raids - Tomorrow 6/23

[Mts]

Hey All-

Elite Raiders will be hosting a few teaching raids during the daytime tomorrow for anyone looking to learn how to run a particular raid, or even to brush up on the subtleties of a particular raid.

We'll look to start around 12pm EST and will start with the Shroud. Based on the interest shown we can move to other raids, likely Von 5/6 and can go from there. I figure we'll do the more complex raids like Titan or Abbot at a later date.

Vets are more than welcome to join, but please do not expect a fast completion. These will be runs with full explanations given, and an opportunity for Q&A as necessary. I'm anticipating around 45-50 mins for shroud, and probably the same if not a little longer for Von.

Newbs are of course the target for this, so come one come all! Don't worry about your gear setup or dr breakers, I have extras I can loan if need be. This will be a great raid to ask any questions that usually would go unanswered in a typical speedy shroud.

Shoot me a PM if you have any questions, or look for me on any of my toons. I will likely be leading these on Mtz, pending timers.

Hopefully we'll get some good attendance, and can make this a regular occurrence. I'd love to see some of the general server knowledge levels go up.



ETA: I know there is already a general thread on this, but I don't know how much traction its gotten. I figure I'll advertise in the lfms and whoever shows up is who shows up.

Pretty much this. +1 to you, OP.

Sounds like it could be fun

I like the idea of running shroud and actually showing people how to do the puzzles, way too many don't even try or use solvers. Unfortunately, I might not be available until afterwards.

It hasn't seen much action lately. The vast majority of the time I was simply teaching Titan over and over and over.... and over again.
The only other one that's seen any interest lately has been Abbot, but I'm not comfortable teaching Goggles, and that's really the only thing that needs teaching in any real way. And the practice groups that we try to set up for learning Goggles as a group never seem to come together between the Euros and us.

Oh yeah, and +1s to ER!

[sirgog]

This is a great idea. Might do something similar sometime for certain epics.

I'd like to join if any spot left.

Great initiative, MT.

I'll keep an eye out

Typical in shroud just knowing the kill order for a low power group and of course the puzzles... I treat 3x3 and 5x5 like I do 4x4, I solve down to one row left and then go to the opposite side - knowing patterns - to reduce those, much quicker than any solver.

Von 5/6, Titan and Abbot are typically the stalemate raids... what I mean by such is that so many people among pug do not even take time to learn the series of events to be done instead of the five min von 5 you end up with people running all over the place for an extra twenty min or so.

Serving the community is "self-serving" I know seems bad... but I look at such this way. The more people know what to do, the more Hordo may pike and the safer our guildies will be.

[Talesin]

Good idea ER +1 to you guys (or the OP in this case)

Good PR by performing an admirable service... much approved.

[Kza]

MTS -

I have 3 characters around Tempest Spine level. Want to teach me how to three man it, at level, on elite again?

That run was a blast!

[Mts]

Thanks for all the great feedback guys! I'll be firing up the first lfm in about 45 minutes or so.

Everyone is welcome to attend if you are looking to learn a few things. I'm going to be focusing on the mechanics of the raid, and some of the basics around effectively leading the raid.

Should be fun!
