Time: Tonight, 6PM EST (2hr after dev event is over, or roughly 5 hours from now - check OP date/time)

Raids:

Got some interest from a warchanter friend who is downloading lam now and might have it done in time, and a cleric who PMd me but wont be on tell later...

So might delay this depending on interest, but will go as scheduled if we can get enough by 6.

Bah, at work til 8 pm est. Wasn't planning on hitting lam, however if you go later, and need people shoot me a pm, I check pretty reg throughout thr day at work.

Does moving a toon to lamaland reset it's raid timers?

EDIT: Kids still awake at 6 PM, if this gets moved to sunday count me in with my fighter.

[grodon9999]

Another issue . . . we can't use our ubbe Cannith crafted stuff. You want to real test let Turbine fix these minimum levels first.

uhh theres very little difference in those and mineral 2.

A serious test would include a lot of players with mineral 2s or better epics.

Personally I'll probably use either my slotted esos.

Theres also the upgraded epic antique/chimeras/elydedge lotsa people have.

I don't know if 10+ points a swing on a TWFer is a little difference, it's more then you get from Ravager and Shintao.

With the alleged 100% fort you'd also be better off with the +5 HBoGLOB axe you have anyway.

Though a good before and after snapshot is good to see, do another one later after they fix min levels to see how much of a difference it makes.

Watching the kids today but if this gets delayed until tomorrow count me in on fighter or cleric.

Very small imo. Sub 5% difference for top DPS characters. Bit more for lesser ones sure, but on elite it wont make much difference. The higher base damage on min2 actaully works out better vs higher fort too actually if horoth was up'd any.

With the alleged 100% fort you'd also be better off with the +5 HBoGLOB axe you have anyway.

I haven't seen anyone say that anywhere. Infact teth confirmed sulo is exactly the same and never menitoned horoth, and I think they would of noticed. I very much doubt thats accurate.

Vanshilar said the judge was 100%, not horoth.

[grodon9999]

yeah, but 5% on 8 guys swinging is like having another half of a DPS.

Interesting to see on the 100% fort thing, let us know if you get there what he's got.

[DragonTroy]

ill bring my light monk destructacus.

im excited to see if the worrys about this are legitamate

[Shade]

got some ingame signs up, few left..

Prolly will go as scheduled long as we get 10+

running a reaver right now while we fill

[altrocks]

Count me in on Arayaleth, Altrocks or Zinnix, whatever is needed/wanted.

[protokon]

il be on a 20 cleric, firstaidkit

[Shade]

reaver was a joke, forming tod now

[gyerv59]

Almost 3 hours, Wonder how its going?

[grodon9999]

reaver was a joke, forming tod now

How'd it go?

[Shade]

Part3, got horoth down to 75% pretty fast. Was a wipe after that.. Was a 9 man pug attempt really so very tough.

No boss has 100% fort. Not even thte judge, vanshilar was wrong. Lotsa crits everywhere. 50% fort probably, maybe 75%.

Wil give more detailed feedback later.

VoD elite forming now.

That's what happens when there's only a handful of players on the server at the time that are interested and you decide to play 20 questions with the people that hit the LFM.
Sorry man, but I wasn't playing 20 questions with you when the entire purpose was only to test their new strengths and the loot was worthless because we weren't going to get to keep it.
It didn't have to be a 9 man pug....

That's cool... I would not expect better than med fort, to place every boss in game at heavy would be silly imo.

Runs 1 and 2 were full 12 man. Third one was when we had the strategy down, and some had to go as they ran out of time, or had other dififculties (someone mentioned a lightning storm heh)

With players who are far more team orented then yourself, dont play purely for loot (ever heard of playing for fun) and do things like sign up on the forums, or respond to simple questions. I'm not looking for ppl who can't answer a simple yes or no question, so I will continue to decline you no matter what server, no matter what quest all the time if you are unwilling to respond thanks.

Simple gear checks benefit everyone by giving us all a better chance at wining.

You also mentioned somethign about " well I run with XXX" like its some kinda entitlement and your somehow "better" then others.. Player acting like your some kinda "kewl d00d" which im not a fan of. Was about to decline you for saying that alone, but decided to give you another chance by asking a simple about your gear, your loss that you cant answer a simple yes/no question.
