Not bad general advice. You missed the Warshade hold power Gravity Well from your list though.

[/ QUOTE ]

Gravity Well is an immobilize not a hold, at least thats what it's tagged as in the power list. Therefore it shouldn't be on the list.

[/ QUOTE ]

Gravity Well is definitely a hold. If the power text says different, you're playing a different game from me. You can then go and explain to all those dead Void Hunters that I didn't, in fact, hold them - they were merely immobilised, and could have shot me back anytime.

Gravity Well
Since my warshade is only level 9 I believe, this is all I had to go by, sorry that the in game text description is inaccurate.

The full power description differs from the hover text - when you look at the power selections, it definitely says hold.

okay, but I didn't have that, I'm just letting you know that we are in fact playing the same game.

I know you mentioned that we should avoid powers that cause aggro during the mito-clearning phase, but what about aggro-less powers (mass hyp, confuse, mass confusion) - are they worth using or will they just cause lag?

Of course I'm just a curious level 17 Mind Controller, so I have no idea what I'm talking about, but the raid sounds like a lot of fun. Maybe I'll be high enough level in 4 or 5 years.

Mitos and Hamidon have a very high mez magnitude that must be overcome. One person using a sleep/confuse will never break this magnitude themselves; they'd need lots of people using the same power. That's why the Hold stage works as it does.

You'd be wasting your time using Mass Hyp/any confuse power. You could use mesmerize since it does damage without problem; you certainly won't have the goal of sleeping the Mito/Hamidon though.


I've already forgotten about most of you

hehe i'm sure it will be sooner than that.

the only way to hold the mitos is to stack your holds with other people's holds. Once you have several layered on the mito it will be held which will prevent a mito-split.
