At level elite shroud. Whos intrested?

[AMDarkwolf]

Max lv 19, no non-contributors, but other than that, anyone's welcome.

I'm 18 now. I want to get this on bravery.

(Also trying to get SoS, acute delirium on bravery as well, figure those will be harder like last life:P)

[redmexz]

rojox lv 18 , and rezzin is also , when would you like to run this. I hope not on Sunday when the 9ers are playing,,,, GOOO 9ers

[AMDarkwolf]

LOL ok lets try to schedule for Monday night sometime.

[sirgog]

Meh, why am I not on your server?

I'm seriously tempted to try to organise a lower-level elite one (17 down or even 16 down) to have a go at all the people that say Shroud cannot be done at-level since the blade changes.

[cdr]

Give me a week to catch up and sure. I totally missed the atma train this time around.

[CheeseMilk]

I'm game, I have a lvl 18 TR Paladin.

Just need Coal Chamber to flag.

Let me know when.

[jwdaniels]

I have a level 17 (nearly 18) WF Barb that will be shroud flagged after tonight - I can definitely join in on Monday. I have four or five guildies that I know would be down for this as well if there's room.

[Chai]

Got a bard I'm running up will be 18 or 19 on monday.

[jwdaniels]

In the interest of specificity:

A barbarian, two monks, a sorcerer and a favored soul, assuming they're all interested. I can confirm this later this evening.

I can assure you that one of your guild member's is interested in running this with his monk.

[jwdaniels]

What time?

Truth be told, with an organized group who knows what to expect, ANY quest can be done 'at level' and I'm quite sure, if 15-19's were allowed into epics, many of them could also be done.

But as for pugging(IE just taking those who hit lfm) theres a select few quests which will really stress those members. (In the flesh elite pre 18, acute delirium no 20's, SoS no 20s, etc)

This life with Atma my plan (it failed btw) was to run each and every quest(that I had access to) one time, on elite, and keeping within the 'bravery rules' - Up until 12-14 or so, it worked spiffy, Never had to repeat a single quest(Did shadow crypt twice to help a friend out, and did von 5 elite like 5 freaking times 'praying' for a group without at least one person who purposly messes it up in 6 so he 'can do 5 again' but don't tell group this - if it wasn't for these 2 cases I still pretty sure I would have been lv 12-13 by the time I started spanking the 14's)

But after lv 12, there is just too few quests and too much xp. I'm 18 now, and already done many of the 18's. The game needs a new pack in the 15-16 area with a good meaty bit of xp to help though this stage. But I digress.


I think 5ishPM my time would work out, I'll log in and idle around from noon on, just send me a tell or reply here on forums so i can get an idea of what we have and what we still need ;D (Truth is looks like we already got the filling and just need a slice of bread to hold this sandwich together.)

[LordRavnos]

I have a 17 AA I would love to bring, failing that an 18 cleric that can heal this asleep, let me know

well baring the lack of a 2nd 'Hjeelr' bring the cleric, but if we get 2 (or more) divines, the AA is more than welcome.

I would like to say that's a great idea, good luck and stuff. But i've seen many 20s parties on Sarlona still not able to handle part 4 on normal, even if i'm leading and spend like 3 minutes just to explain how it works. Assuming a very solid dps party can certainly take Harry down in 2-2,5 rounds on Elite, i wish you a good time with a 16-18s party dps and the 6-7 rounds at least it'll take you, and i don't speak about the meteor swarms that will one shot any guys with less than 400 HP (rather common at 18 unfortunately), reducing even more your dps for the next rounds.

And all this, assuming your full party knows how to avoid the blades perfectly

I hate being the "you'll fail" guy, but i think everyone will agree with me =)

And also, part 5 can be rather difficult too as soon as too much people are dying. You have to not let anyone die or more blades are spawning eventually just cutting the full party in pieces in less than 3 seconds.

I wish you good luck still, for part 2 and 3 You'll still get some optionnal xp at least

[AMDarkwolf]

heh.. no offense, but judging by the people who have already applied, I have more faith in a elite successful run with pre 20's, than a 'normal' run with the lv 20 pug group you've found

Any of the folks who see this have 'been there, done that' and (Unless I'm mistaken) are the types who 'take the next 11' on normal shroud runs and breeze though.

The shroud isn't as 'daunting' as many want to think it is. At elite, at level, it is 'about right' for challenge imo

Yes there's new mechanics we are aware of, and part 4 is the only real 'threat' to that raid, even ON elite.

But I appreciate you worrying for us and our repair bills

5 will be harder.

4 is easy if you respect the blades. 5 will be a real DPS race with blades on the main Harry fight if you take a long time.

ok re=roll , you are to much , I have done this on elite already in my past lifes its not that hard , just have to have the right team.

[AMDarkwolf]

meh if any raid needs fixin its abbot. Not the puzzles, they are fine, its the **** LOOOOOOOONG ass time it takes to bring him down (even on hard) and thats WITH good dps all beating away with trip pos. and 4 divines DP'ing the snot out of him.

For a lv 17 raid(19 on elite) its a tad much.


Shroud imo feels about right at this level, and the puzzles in shroud are trivial for the most part.

[Arshan]

ok re=roll , you are to much , I have done this on elite already in my past lifes its not that hard , just have to have the right team.

With the new blades ? Very very few "casual" teams made it on elite on Sarlona i believe. As far as i would trust more a good players at level team, part 4 and 5 are not only about player skills, but also about dps output the team can bring. And dps is often lacking in at level parties.

Part 5 is really underrated, as someone said, it's a real dps race. And even if you go for 12 relyable and knowlegeable people for part 4, meteor swarms can be REALLY kinky.

Not saying elite shroud is hardcore, just that it is hard to find 11 other people on Sarlona that can do it at level.
