New Player Raid Training – Abbot

[Kages]

Great Job tonight for all those that came out for the Thursday night training session. I was a great success completed on the 3 attempt at a completion run on Normal. We actually got some people practiced enough in Ice and Goggles to get people across. Keep up the good work everyone!

As I said in party, if you have more questions or comments about the training feel free to post here or PM me here on the forums.

I only wanted to point out what he said here, he thinks so highly of himself being the only success! HA, just playing. Nah, I'm glad to hear the raid filled and went well. This is an amazingly difficult one to learn and we need more people in there that can listen/talk/do what needs to be done.

[Kages]

Well, I don't think the person has looked at it since the fix for certain reasons.

Last I saw before the fix was 16% chance accross the board for named items.

11% for seal on hard
16% on elite

You actually stand a better chance at loot on normal because the seals are an additional roll on the loot (a second d100 on hard/elite) and possibly take a spot in the named items loot table. That's just a guess based on the hole that was in the loot table.

Going off what I have read via forum surfing and stalking my local forum admin/dev, the previous glitch giving empty chests where due to the old version of named items being on the roll table still and when rolled upon and won the item is left blank due to not being in game anymore. My train of thought was foggy there so if you have followed then touche, "ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES KYLE GO CRAZY!"

Ya ya it was a typo. I was tired. It was late. Get off my back. >_<

HAHA, trust me, if I was on your back you wouldn't be tired anymore... maybe frightened and screaming, but not tired.

Training Hound – Levik drops
Training Abbot – Litany drops

Training Titan – Battle Coin drops…(I wasn’t there)


I think it’s pretty obvious that my mere presence has
a ~5000% impact on loot generation.

The next training class will have to be “How to Open Chests”.

LOL, that myfriend is a well convensing list. I am running a ToD, come pull my ring and +4 tome~!

[LordPiglet]

I'm not so sure about the Seals taking the place of a Named item since I have seen both a Seal and Named item drop for a player in the same run. I feel like they take up their own spot on the loot table and are either there or not and not replacing what is already normally dropping.

I don't run Abbot, that was just a guess based on the hole that was in the loot table before it was corrected. That originally it was going to be on the named item table and not a second d100 roll.

That being said with 2 rolls being made, if you see 2 seals drop for one person that would hint that it's in the named item table.

Is it the Shintao ring you want? Because I heard Tobril has excellent experience with that one.

LOL, Tobril, you sure The Traveler or the Loot goddess wasn't watching your training?!

As for the Tower of Despair, what training would that be since there are not mario jumping or rocks throwing puzzles? How to tank Horroth, Sulu and Shadows?

Yes, a training on how to pull +4 tomes would be nice. Hope that does not entail sacrificing kobolds or halflings, chanting and dancing circling around the chests.

Nobody can handle a chest quite like me.

Heh, gotta know where to stand and turn on auto-attack.

I would like to go back and re-do some of those easier raids
with a focus on leading, group formation, assignments, etc.

Advanced raid training perhaps?

[Jondera]

I'm afraid I'm going to have to back out, due to my inability to get flagged. I'll keep an eye out for the next one, though.

Yes! Where do I sign up?

And this time I will read the forum information.

respecced my wiz for full acid & fire and tested him on Black Abbot

Black dragon bolt doing about 230+ per tick,
Disintegrate does about 720+ per hit
DB Fireball does about 300+ per hit (Maximized only) but costs more SP.

Should have i gone full force instead of fire?
Or does he turn on his /2 Disintegrate guards later on in the fight?

Overall do about 20% damage to his HP before running out of SP on a Wiz.

What difficulty are you testing on? I rarely do normal, but I'm not sure he has the disintegrate ward at all on norm. AFAIK it's about 50% on hard and 70-90 on elite.

I tend to cycle BDB and epic eternal wands (ssh, don't tell anyone) in the first part of the fight to conserve mana.

Just wanted to say thanks again to you guys for organizing this and taking the hours needed to run us through each of the puzzles. I definitely know much more than I did and am up to 100% confidence on Ice and Roids and about 75% on Goggles. Before today I was pretty much 0% on Ice and Goggles. And I even pulled the Quiver.

Great time, lots of fun and learned alot. You guys rule.

awesome run, thanks again

will watch out for more training runs and hopefully can join again. - adiktor

@ Cdr, thanks, yup just normal.

[Tobril]

The Saturday run took about three hours and everybody
got to see all the puzzles.


Big thanks to the people who keep making this happen,
as well as to everyone who was patient and listened.

We even overcame a couple of language barriers and
communicated effectively with Chinese other players
who don't speak English as their primary language.


Also, new people performed quite well on puzzles they
just learned that day, they did so well that...


We won again!!!




Once again my ability to influence the loot tables
with my mere presence is without equal:

[Culver.Civello]

Totally Jealous!!! I was hoping for those gloves! XD

Heh, good luck getting someone with a blue bar to put a vile up for roll.



Also, shameless plug for this training event.

Are you done with the Abbot training sessions or are you planning on more? Let me know, as always I'll be more then happy to help if you need me ;-)
