I'm in.

There is no way I'll be at the hive until after 7.30pm. Work and RL means that I don't get home until then at the very earliest. Any chance we can kick off the raid at 8pm? I suspect I'm not alone in having a challenge with the early start.

Little late notice to push the Raid today but given that you probably are not alone we will look at 7.30-8pm for the next one.

Cheers mate, apologies for the late notice, but my boss has a habit of dropping things on me at the last minute, which inevitably impacts on every other bloody thing in my life. Jelly would still appear to be on the menu then!

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmm quick clarification as I might have been unclear tonights raid will be as announced its too late to change sadly.

Assemble at 6.00pm to raid at 7.00pm

We will try to make the next one later so as to help those with work and/or life issues.

Cheers,

White

I'll do my best to be there but may be a tad late as I am away til sunday evening. As to 5v5v5 it may not be easy to find extra players perhaps keep the original 3v3v3. Anyway I am easy just a suggestion.

Hopefully see you all there sunday.

Cheers,

White

Look forward to seeing you all on monday.

Cheers,

White

Umm this monday is not good for me and (I hope) a good few others see .... here

Nice idea though,

Cheers,

White

Not sure what disturbs me more, that I was right or that Arch got in wrong .....

Also Arch knows more about slotting fire than me so he's prolly right on the Accs

Cheers,

White

Slight concern............ we seem to still have all those yellow death marbles that dropped at the end of the last raid

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes it would appear that the spawn has not reset so at present there are 101 annoyed Mitocondria Antibodies hovering about, a plan is being formulated in case the spawn does not reset.

Have no fear .... well not much

Cheers,

White

Atm we are not planning on setting up a GM team or teams if things change I will of course let people know but adding extra teams can just add complexity, hopefullly we wont have the same issue this time and I am sure we will all have a wary eye out just in case.

Thanks for your kind offer though, very cool of you

Cheers,

White

So were back and this time its personal. Most of you know the drill by now.

Monday October 23rd assemble from 6.00pm UK time to raid at 7.00pm

Please, please read up here in the Hamidon guide it really does help to speed things up if people have read the guide. Thanks

Ok my 2 inf and do bear in mind I am far from an expert on fire trollers my own Fire/Rad is only 18 but I know a couple good fire trollers. Anyway my opinions on fire set....

Ring of Fire
Single target immob and adds containment damage after your ST hold 2 Acc, 3 dam, and an end red couple it with Char early on for damage deal.

Char
Your ST hold and early on your workhorse power get it and slot it, 2 acc, 2 hold 2 recharge should do it.

Fire Cages
AoE Immob use with care at low levels its pure aggro in a can. 2 Acc, 1 end red and 1 Recharge to slot I think should be ok

Smoke
Not a fan myself I'd skip it tbh.

Hotfeet
Ok so this ones a debate, coupled with Flashfire and Cages or Cinders its a lot of DoT and very cool, but and its a big but its a massive aggro maganet and will eat end like there is no tomorrow when you are chaining. Acc, 2 Dam and 3 End red for me to slot it.

Flashfire
AoE Disorient top class get it, slot it, love it. 2 Acc, 2 Recharge and 2 Disorient Duration.

Cinders
PBAoE hold its an AoE hold so worth it imo. 2 Acc, 2 Recharge, 2 Hold.

Bonfire
Nice to look at but really not a fav of mine as I am not a KB fan. Might be cool if you dont use hotfeet though.

Fire Imps
Little machines of destruction just w00t! 2 Acc, 3 Dam is prolly enough.

Hope it helps at least a little

Cheers,

White

Twice'll do for a Stoney in Granite surely?!?

Might I add ... ZOMG thats some uber pwnage right there!

Grats to the PDs (and Archy ), Xanth has my vid of it so I am sure some highlights will be forth coming

Cheers,

White

Odds are we will never know what exactly happend and tbh if as I suspect it was a greifing incident I am kinda glad I dont know who was responcible as on the night I know a few of us on the raid coordinating team were more than a touch annoyed. If someone did do this on purpose I feel sad that they should think this sort of thing is cool/fun many many peoples hard work and effort went to waste, however tbh I think we have to just look past this and move on much as I am annoyed its all in the past now.

I would like to take a moment to thank once again all who turned out for a fantastic effort you all rock!!! its official

Special thanks to: Archy, Xanth, Hammer, War Man, Disruptor, Extremus, Empath, Mesmer, Jackie Sparrow, Gen 2 (hope I didn't miss anyone, if I did sorry) for their sterling work on the coordinating team you are all amazing and I am proud to know each and every one of you

I recieved many tells of thanks and comiseration after the raid and the support has been awesome. I will be back for the next raid lead by either myself or Xanthus and I encourage you all particularly first timers to come along again, these incidents are thankfully uncommon and we will get back to normal service next raid.

Again Thank you all, each and everyone of you!

Cheers,

White

Thanks to all for your support and we will indeed be back to kick Hami's jelly ridden rear out of the hive Xanth the others and I are looking at monday atm as thursday is tough for some of the team to make and might be a little too soon.

Again many thanks to all who attended and I must stress that without the GM aggro we had him and it was on for a very successful raid. News on the next soon...

Cheers,

White

Good to hear from people look forward to seeing you all for Jelly bashing and victory dancing this evening

*not a thread bump to remind people its Assemble at 6.00 to Raid at 7.00 this evening Monday 16th* .... nooo, not at all....

Cheers,

As Gen said Arch and he are the PA leaders for this raid, just for informations sake anyone with questions on raid details should prolly go here as thats the main raid thread.

Hope that helps,

Splitting targeters: If you have 2 targeters going in 2 directions it may make the Tanks job a little hard as he needs to move to be opposite alot.


[/ QUOTE ]

I think that 1 targeter moving round will pass a stationary Hami tank at some point anyway. The only way this could be avoided if the targeter started next to the Hami tank and then moved around Hami to end up on the other side of the Hami tank. This would risk getting the AoE from Hami right at the start of the raid.

If you think about it, with 2 targeters moving north on either side of Hami meeting at the north point where the Hami tank is would actually mean the Hami tank would have to stay still during the mito clearing phase.

[/ QUOTE ]

I hadn't ment for the Hami tank to be stationary, the method is to keep the targeter and the tank always opposite and never have the clearing teams get near Hami aggro. Difficult to do with one clearing group and one tank at times, I ment that the second group moving in a different direction would make it even harder apologies if I was unclear

Whilst I tend to agree with Archy on keeping it simple I am more than happy to give it a go and see how it goes, though as mentioned above the calls would need to be on broadcast or local as I want request clear and simple assuming you are happy with this we can try it this evening.

Cheers,

White

Eeep!!!

Cant be good. Hope you are back soon, or who will I call DJ n00bian? ....

Hopes for a swift return.

Cheers,

White

Hey man nice ideas.

New Cossie should help with IDing you. As to a more focused system I think thats cool and am happy for you to try it however couple quick points.

Remember not everyone can fly so switching high will need to be well timed but I am sure you thought of that already.

Calls: I dont mind but would ask that you use broadcast and/or local I really need to keep request clear so that instrutions get through cleanly, sorry if that complicates things but request will be busy enough I fear. I remember (iirc) a similar thing being tried with "1/2 DEAD" "DEAD" calls and I am not sure it wasnt more a complication than anything else on request and this would be even more calls.

Splitting targeters: If you have 2 targeters going in 2 directions it may make the Tanks job a little hard as he needs to move to be opposite alot.

Anyway just my opinions.

Cheers,

White

Grats man
