Hami again 22nd December 7PM GMT

Afetr the succesful raid yesterday i'm gonna try for another, same strategy as last time. Most of this is copied from the last thread.

If you plan on coming please sign here with your name, AT, powersets and any relevant info, looking for team leaders also

Firstly anyone coming please make sure you have a Hami raid cossie, these help to reduce the lagg greatly. I believe the layout was tightchest and legs, smooth/bare full on gloves and boots and a tech helm, all one colour.
scrappers-yellow
blasters-red
defenders-blue (empaths-green)
controllers-Purple
tanks-Black
PBs White
WS-black/purple
If you have a hold please add a purple stripe to your costume.
Some of these may be wrong, i need to find the guide for em. This is the best costume for creating as little lag as possible. If you really cant afford to change a cossie please wear one with as little detail as possible, No auras or capes, these cause massive lag during raids

Here’s the info for the raid in just over a weeks time.
Also those that haven’t already please read Read the guide HERE by Archy, Xanthus and friends, tyvm to them .

PA team-
Taunt team-
Clearing team-
Holders-

Well there’s the assigned positions I’ve made so far for teams, the PA team are phantom army droppers and kins. Taunt team is the Hami tank, gilga or MD with emps to keep em healed, one to many so those that want can help with the healing blanket.
The mito team is for the clearing phase, all those not needed for another team just follow streakz and attack his target when the mito clear phase begins.
The hold teams should be compromised of anyone with a hold, or speedboost/accelerate metabolism.

Also do not use any defence/dmg res toggles in the Hive, Hami and co do untyped unavoidable damage so toggles apart from mez protection are useless and just cause lag.

To review the raid, firstly we’ll meet at the Hive entrance in Eden, there everyone gets into teams, those in the PA and taunt teams get together then, everyone else can make their own for now. We enter and go to cowards hill, near hamidon, if you’re unsure where follow everyone else .

Most important rule is not to aggro or attack hamidon, second is not to draw GMs into Hami, Do not under any circumstance attack/taunt or use any power on hamidon.

At this point the PA team move into position, and once we have the go ahead follow streakz and clear them mitos . Our hami tank team will enter once we’ve got a big enough space or if we reckon there is a wide enough coverage of PA, so less chance of hami being aggroed.

Once all the mitos have been cleared everyone is to go up to hamidon and brawl him once, make sure it hits no other powers to be used, this is to ensure everyone will get a hami O while also preventing the aggro being taken off our hami tank. Then the Hold phase begins. For this phase only the following powers are to be used (special thanks to Archy, Xanthus and friends for the info taken from their guide, here and throughtout post.)

No dark servant cos its twilight grasp will cause to much lag

-Tankers: not worth it becuase of guantlet
-Blasters: Tesla Cage, Freeze Ray, Bitter Freeze Ray, Shocking Grasp, Freezing Touch, Shocking Bolt, Char, Cryo Freeze Ray.
-Defenders: Petryfing Gaze, Choking Cloud, EM Pulse, Ice Arrow, Tesla Cage, Telekinesis.
-Scrappers: not worth the lagg.
-Warshades: Gravity Well.
-Peacebringers: Incandescent Strike.
-Controllers: Fossilize, Volcanic Gasses, Char, Cinders, Gravity Distortion, Gravity Distortion Field, Singularity(3 slots for Hold Duration, no matter the others), Block of Ice, Glacier, Blind, Flash, Dominate, Telekinesis(whatever slotting you have), Total Domination, Choking Cloud, EM Pulse, Ice Arrow.

In addition to this, the only buffs which should be used really are AM and Speed Boost for the +rechg so that holds can be stacked. People need to understand that spamming immobs and heals, leaving auras/shields on, using pets (other than Singularity and maybe Dark Servant), or just using random powers (like Fulcrum) is totally useless and counter-productive since it increases the lag to the point where we can't see if Hami is held.

I'll appoint someone in charge for this, so once this phase begins please listen to them
NO ATTACKING HAMI, only holds during this phase.
Anyone without a hold or recharge boost will have to sit on cowards hill and wait,no scrapper or tankers, even with holds in this phase unless we are desperate due to the lagg. As long as you brawled him you'll still get Hami O though.

Hopefully if all goes well hami will be down in no time

Well I guess its about time I showed up for one of these - congrats on last night by the way

You can add Neutr0n En/Elec/Elec Blaster to the blaster corps

I'll pop along with one 'toon or another, probably the kinetic again. Hopefully my little fingers will have recovered from two hours solid of SBing people by then.


 

Posted

I'll be there again to Speed Boost the Controllers and provide Inertial Reduction.

Well it was great on the last hami, lets make this one great too. Count my scrapper in (Spinebreaker).


Spinebreaker - lvl 50 Spine / Regeneration
Virtual Valkyrie- lvl 50 Emp / Elec

You want a couple of dispersion bubbles running in the clearing phase, these can be quite invaluable and prevent mass deaths as invariably the wrong people get held first.

Jack frost also has a hold attack I beleive, Jack is an accepted norm on the US raids.

Its your fault
Its your computers fault
Its your ISPs fault

Great work on the last raid Lost... it was one of the smoothest raids I've seen

I will be bringing Second Sun to this one (he's currently 44.2, no way he won't be 45 for this at least ).. so that's 1 fire/rad troller signing up.


find me: @Ebon Hawk or @Jayd Dragon on Union

Unfortunately he only has the melee one (Freezing Touch) and doesn't use it very often, so for high attendance raids like last night's (130 people unhidden?) I don't think it's worth the extra lag (likewise, I wouldn't bother with Dark Servant who might or might not use Petrifying Gaze).

Will do.

Don't know what it is about Hami raids that makes me actually want to lead teams... maybe the fact that I know what I'm doing for once?
