If i've missed anything, feel free to ask questions on here, or PM me in game. (I should normally be online with Apocrypha, But i'll most likely be online with Xiro on the day of the raid at about 7pm, when I get in from work.)

Wasn't there a second mito-spawn point when Hami is at 25% life? Not that Ive actually ever seen it in action, its a make or break on 50% mark anyway.
On another note, im slightly disappointed not seeing the holdless strategy in the works yet. But that can be discussed elsewhere.
If I remember about it, I'll be there - could use another Hami for my Knockout Blow .
One rubbish troller reporting for hami duty!

You'll be seeing that next time 
Just wanted one last crack at doing it the old way before we moved onto something new. Got a few things in the works really.
1) Raid with no holds
2) Raid with no mito clearing and no holds
3) Raid with only 25 People
And something extra special which is gonna need a bit of a tryout raid on the test server
who's the Hami-tank this time?
Can I volunteer, seeing as mt toon is actually a tank and all.
I think as it stands, Mr ? is doing the tanking for the first part of the raid, and normally he switches to his warshade who has a hold for the second part, Which is when somebody normally takes over.
..Which im sure you can do, Depending on what Mr ? wants to do.

Im up for the raid,and any testing you are doing if you need it
I'll be there with my MA/Regen. First hami raid as the 2nd last I was 44 and the last I missed
Would bring my troller but he's a hair short of 37 so no good.
The date of the next raid has set to December the 19th, Details as follows:
Should be fun to see a mass of Santa's smacking the life out of Hamidon.
Anyone over level 45 is welcome to attend the raid, Sadly if you're below 45 you wont be able to get into the zone.
The meetup for the raid is set for 7pm UK Time, With a view to start the raid at 8pm. (This is subject to change, I'll post if it does change). Remember to bring awakens cause its very likely that you're gonna eat some dirt at some point during the raid.
It's up to yourself to form your own teams for the raid, Try and make sure you have an empath in the team, and somebody with group fly, If possible.
This excludes Illusion controllers, They will have their own specific team, Which i'll detail later on.
For this raid we are gonna do something a bit special, It was suggested on the forums that we could use Christmas themed costumes for the raid, so feel free
But there is still one thing to remember, it is still important to not use Capes or Auras, as they will increase lag.
If you don't want to make a Christmas themed costume, please use the normal colours listed below:
Blasters: Red
Controller: Purple
Defenders: Blue
Scrappers: Yellow
Tankers: Black/Grey
Kheldians: Light Blue
And please remember, No capes or Auras to minimize lag.
If you have a hold, Please also include a small purple detail in your costume.
Please remember to stay off of the Request Channel during the raid, This is for the use of raid leaders only, to keep the plan clear.
Strategy:
After we assemble at the platform inside the Hive (team leaders will be able to show you where this is), Illusion controllers will be organised into a seperate team, with somebody with group fly. They will then hover above Hamidom himself, and drop Phantom Armies spread around the jelly, to draw some of the aggro away from the rest of the raiders.
NO other pets are allowed during the first phase.
Once the Decoys are in place, the Hamidon Tank and his team of emapths will move into the jelly, to get the aggro of the Nucleus, This is to keep the very nasty AoE away from the rest of the raiders.
After the Hamidon Tank has the aggro, and has given us the go, The Targeter and the rest of the raiders will enter the jelly. The Targeters purpose is to pick out Mitochondria for everybody else to attack, And you should ONLY attack his or her target. The targeter will move the group around the bubble, clearing as they go. Yellow mitos first, and then Blue/Green mitos after that.
The easy way to keep track of the Targeter, is to put him/her on your friends list, and click on the name there, if you lose track of him.
The general rule for the first phase, is that if you're attacking something that isnt Yellow, you're on the wrong target, And please try to refrain from using AoE attacks, as this could get you unwanted aggro.
At no stage during the raid, Should you ever attack Hamidon. This could draw the aggro away from the Hamidon tank, and pull the AoE attack onto the raiders
Once all the mitos have been defeated, everybody will be called to leave the bubble, Except for the Hamidon Tank and his team. Once everybody has left the jelly, Everybody with a hold will re-enter the the jelly and group up next to the Nucleus.
Once everybody is in place, People should cast their buffs, Such as recovery aura, and more importantly Accelerate Metabolism, to speed up the holding. At this point people should start spamming holds at the nucleus, And keep on casting the buffs.
Even with the reduced effect because of ED, It is still important that you 6 slot your holds with Hold Duration SOs. Every little bit of extra hold time helps
I Would also like any kinetics in teams to keep the controllers speed boosted as much as possible, so that we can keep pumping the holds out.
At this point, The only pets that should be used are Dark Servants and Singularites.
If you lose target of Hamidon, and its quite possible that you will due to lag, Click on a pet and target through them. They will never lose target, No matter how bad the lag.
Once Hamidon gets held for a period of time, People with ranged attacks will be called in to attack. Its important that you stay at the max range possible, to minimize the lag for the holding team.
At no point during the attack should the holding team stop using holds, its VITAL that you continue spamming holds because if Hamidon breaks free, He will spawn one Yellow Mito for every hero in the hive.
Once Hamidons health approaches the 50% marker, There will be a call on the request channel for Vanguards to be used by the holding team. This is to make certain that Hamidon stays held for the rest of the attack, as if he breaks free, Doom will ensue.
After that, Hamidon falls, and we party to Atlas and eat some bloody christmas pudding ;o
If i've missed anything, feel free to ask questions on here, or PM me in game. (I should normally be online with Apocrypha, But i'll most likely be online with Xiro on the day of the raid at about 7pm, when I get in from work.)
And one last thing, Please make sure that everyone in your SG and Friends list is aware of the plan, The more people that have read the guide the better as it saves us problems on the night
