hi all union thanks again for helping make the clearing phase go so well, about the 1hr mark now for full mito clear Also thanks to all the rest of the raid organisers (you know who you are )
I will be there on time as usual ,cant wait.
UNION FTW
I'll be home from work by 8:30ish so if I can join a tad late then I'll be there. It would be nice if a raid could be organised at some time or day other than 7pm on Friday because this regular slot is probably excluding a lot of people who regularly work at this time. Just a suggestion.

Red, the 7:00 start is more like a 7:45 start generally, once things actually get going - I don't think 100 people online ever started anything anywhere near on time.
None have finished before 8:30 yet, although the last couple haven't been too much past that.
If you know you're going to be late I'd suggest logging yourself out on Coward's Hill so you can log in there and you should at least make the majority of the holding phase. Not exactly making the whole raid, but you'll get yourself a HO out of it.
If you're fairly certain you'll be around for the end of it just let me know and I can save you a spot in a team.
Wyx
Electric Blue X will be there!
*pokes team*
Count me in...missed the last 2 so far
Nitrux S....signing up !!
Once again Hamidon was defeated, and once again were not gonna leave him be.
If you plan on coming please sign here with your name, AT, powersets and any relevant info.
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
Heres the info for the raid in just over a weeks time.
Also those that havent already please read Read the guide HERE by Archy, Xanthus and friends, tyvm to them .
PA team-Paragon girl
Taunt team-Dark Blazes, Curing catz
Clearing team-streekz
Holders-Raziel
Well theres the assigned positions Ive 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 well 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 youre 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 weve 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.
Lets show him what for chaps
