1) There were people who weren't listening to those leading the raid, whether myself or their designated team leader. As such, they were trying to do their own thing, and working against the rest of us in the process.
[/ QUOTE ]I know who you were talking about... I had done a Sister Psyche TF with him the night before, where he openly admitted he was drunk, and brought up politics after being told not to. Imagine my "delight" when I wound up on the same team as him. I'm glad he quit the team.
Anyway, I'd like to thank you for running these things, and to thank my team leader: Wizona Fyre
Hey Wulf,
This a go for this week?

Well, I didn't see everyone there. At least, I didn't see enough there.
We waited until about 15 minutes after scheduled raid time, and didn't have the numbers necessary for raiding. We were close, and had a full team of blasters and tanks. But we were very short on controllers, and it just wasn't worth wasting an inordinate amount of everyone's time for a 2-hour (or more) raid.
Hopefully, it was just one of those nights where people couldn't be there, and we'll have the necessary numbers next week. Thanks to all who did come out, and I hope to see you then.

Hey that may be because i never changed the MOTD on the level 50 channel. I never got a reply back if this was a 100% go or not.. 
Sorry. If this is going to be a 100% happen every wednesday than ill be sure to keep with posting the info on the MOTD.

In most cases, every Wedesday there will be raid. The only times I can see there won't be if a new issue or event is out and everyone is busy with that, but it never hurts to pop in around raid time to check things out. Wulf and myself sent a couple of shout out to the Guardian channel, but *Shurg*.

I'd love to come, never been on a Hami raid before. Just wondering, on what days does this run?

Yes, it's safe to assume this is an every week thing. I won't personally be able to lead them all, as I have other commitments from time to time. But I will be there as often as possible.
It would be worthwhile if some of the regulars would be willing to lead on occasion. While I don't mind doing it, it would allow for effective raiding in my absence. To best handle this, I'd suggest that anyone interested contact me either on these forums or in-game. I can pass on the macros that I use, along with the minimum numbers in each group, restrictions for who can effectively contribute on what team, etc. That way, the instructions and set-up from the leader can be the same no matter who it is.
I will also comment that Coldmed's statement is correct. Tankers are needed in this strategy to hold aggro, which they CANNOT effectively do without taunt. And no offense, but I don't want to hear from every tanker out there who thinks they can keep aggro without it. I know tankers, having played five of them up to level 50, and I know there are ways to control aggro in normal PvE without taunt. The rules are different for hami, however, so you need taunt if you're going to tank. If you show up on a tanker without taunt, you will be placed on the scrapper/melee damage team and NOT the tanker aggro team.
I know that a part of the problem for some of the tankers who show up is that they are PvP builds (at least, that's what those tankers have been telling me.) One way to get around this that will be possible with i13 is to use the multi-build function to create an alternate build that has taunt and the more "normal" PvE build. Even if you only use it for raiding, it will make you a lot more viable--you would even potentially be able to switch builds to either do aggro control OR melee damage, depending on what's needed. Just food for thought.
Having said all of that, I plan to be there tomorrow night, so I hope to see everyone there.

I have good news!...sorta
Shadow Ravenwolf is about 1/4 of the way done getting his sets for the build that will bring back his Taunt.
Today is his 3rd birthday as his current incarnation. He is still specced for Pre-I9 Hami and you all have been very patient with him being a Tauntless Tank on the Scrapper Team. Thank You.
I do have some others, like my Fire/Kin and a DB/WP Scrapper and such. I feel it's time to exclude Shadow from the Jello for now and am thinking about bringing others. All except the fire/kin are Non-Flyers presently, so they will need a GF'er on the team.
Any recommendations of what you guys see a lack of or need for especially?

Honestly, it depends on the build of the toon. A scrapper is going to be able to serve on the melee damage team as much as Shadow did, so that's always an option. GF is a nice power to have on that team, but is not mandatory. (If I can get you one, however, I definitely will, as it speeds up that team considerably.)
Last week, we had a full blaster team, a full tank team, and a quickly filling melee damage team. But we were very short on controllers--and without them, we can't hold the greens which means we can't raid. So from that standpoint, the controller would be nice. And I doubt there's anyone on the team that wouldn't enjoy having a speed boost on them to combat end drain and have their holds recharge faster. If your toon has ID (and a lot of fire/kin builds don't), that's even more helpful, as you can help deflect some of the mez that the green mito team gets from nearby blues.
So of the toons mentioned, that's how they can help. We'll make it work regardless of toons if we have sufficient numbers.

I have Kinetic Embers specced with SB, ID, Char, Fire Cages, Transference, Transfusion, FS, and Fly to stay in the air with the team.
As I mentioned last week, I'm in the crunch time for the end of my semester. I may or may not make it tonight, but in 3 weeks I'll have a break from college. Hopefully though I can be out there tonight.

In beta when we were messing around with the new Hamidon with Back Alley Brawler in the zone (he tanks Hami real good when he uses GM commands to become invincible), someone noticed that he didn't have taunt...
He replied "well it was either taunt or the purple triangles".

Thanks to all who came out tonight to take down the jell-o. We had a slow start, but were flowing pretty smoothly at the end. Special thanks to my team leaders: Waldo the Great, Donnie Dane, Nuclear Target, and Super Robster. Also, an extra thank you to those empaths who were all over the place getting it done tonight. You know who you are!
I will not be there for the raid next week, as I will be celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends. Donnie Dane has agreed to lead a raid if there are enough folks in attendance, so if you're planning to be around, go get some jell-o, and I'll see you all in two weeks.

For those of you who don't know the player behind Donnie Danes, that'd be me. And yes, if we get enough people in the "jello cooler" then I will be leading the Hami raid.
I picked Wulf's brain for tips and tricks. Hopefully, I got the picks out before he left or his family's gonna be real surprised come later this week. 
But, much appreciation to him for answering my questions and giving me the macros he uses.
For those of you who will be there, I'll be in-zone as my tanker "Spell Breaker" and I look forward to seeing you. Hopefully, even with the holiday, we'll have enough to provide jello to all of Paragon for the holiday.
To everyone who won't be able to make it: Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving with your family and friends. You'll be missed, but I'll give Hami a few extra thwacks in your honor.
Take care and I'll see some of you Wednesday!

I had planned to be in attendance to run a Hamidon Raid this week. However, with today's announcement that i13 will release tomorrow, I think it wise for us to go ahead and cancel this week's scheduled raid. If there are enough folks that want to raid, then by all means help yourselves. But there's enough to explore in i13 that I will not be in attendance.
Barring something completely unknown at this time, I will lead a regularly scheduled raid next Wednesday.

I'm very sorry about tonight. I had intended to be on, but was late arriving due to some technical issues. When I logged on about 9:45, it appeared that there were only 24 or so folks there, which is not enough to raid, so I logged back out.
I am planning to be there next week, barring anything unforeseen. So I hope to see you at 9:30 EST next Wednesday.

It helps if you make your presence known. If people think you're not coming, they're not coming either. At the time you logged in, those of us who WERE there were farming EoEs.
