I also want to say... the fighting GMs for EoE in Pi was great. Forget inventions - people fighting GMs en masse in PI is something completely new to me

My favorite part of the whole raid was where I called "OK GUYS POP AN EOE AND LETS GO GO GO!", spun my camera around and saw like 45+ people all following me into the Jelly. Way awesome.
Gratz! You guys on Defiant are simply unstoppable.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
Pictures?
Hehe, ok. Didn't take too many, just at the 'important' stages.
First mito spawn and team wipe
Second mito spawn, and inevitable team wipe
Third mito spawn (the last one, thankfully) and of course, Hero wipe
In better news, decided my recipe, 'devestation' wasn't that useful for me. Sold for 9.5 Million, which is far more useful!
Was good fun, I didn't do hami raids before as having either a melee toon or an empath I found them crushingly dull. This was far more fun, basically cos I didn't have EoE and i seemed to be the only person helping the TA's and the rezzer's with the speed boosts and dishing out the ID tos top the insane knockback.

Many and varied!
@Miss Chief
I had an awesome time 
It was a nice thing to come back to the game & do.
I didnt mind tp'ing, rezzing & dishing out the CM, it'd help though if people would stay still long enough after being woken up for us to CM them! I know you all were too impatient to run back into the jelly 
Looking forward to the next one!

Well, it was fun to be there and fun to reach the debt cap (again). Honestly, it was great and very well organized, teamspeak was fine and everything went cool. Looking forward to join next.
Gratz guys now give us details how long it take you ?
Really well done guys was well worth it Thankies go to Xanthy and other raid leaders for oranising it, and also to Miss Chief for keeping us all Speed Boosted up at Cowards Hill so we could keep popping out Howling Twilight and Oil Slick Also thankies to Miss Taik for putting up with me going "Oil Slick!!!" every minute hehe!
Would be glad to help out with mass rezzing again next time hehe halfway there to my 4th healing badge now :P
funny hami raid, i loved hero wipes. Great Job all and great loot too 
Great raid. We really got a hang of clearing the yellows after a while. I think we can do it even faster next time. Gonna level my Fire/Em Tank for it. I think we should be able to manage it in one quick go, if we practice some more.
Well done all..i got in from work last night to find frosttzone bouncing off the walls with excitment after completing his first Hami raid..
and to think he nearly missed it cos i made him go and change into a hami cossie before he went to the hive and he couldnt get in for a few mins..i was not a popular mother in my house for a little while there
Thart looks kinda cool, nice screenies

Some great screenies there, maybe we should try and get Bridger to put them up on the EU homepage as we were the 1st EU server to take him down...right? Ohhh and just to rub it into the Union lot

The Raid took a total of 2:30 hours, including spawning Hamidon. The first runs were the longes with the last taking about 15 minutes I think. And I'm sure we SHOULD put our strategy to a guide. Checking the US forums, their team compositions are too complicated and not necessary as we saw here. The key points of the raid were:
1. One dedicated Healer in each group;
2. Two targeters. One for yellow mythos, another for the green mythos;
3. Haling blanket on the green nythos team;
4. Howling Twilight and Oil Slick .
Here how the strategy goes. We will have too teams.
The Killing Machine - This will be composed by all the heavy melee types and the Rad Defenders\Trollers.
The Suicide Decoys - The rest of the controllers and a bunch of healers to make a healing blanket.
The Strategy - Before going, team people are spammed with Clarity, Clear Mind and Inertial Reduction. If Anyone has Group Fly should be running. Both teams move together in the Goo at oppose directions. Popping an EoE just before arriving so we can maximize the duration. The Suicide Decoys will run deep inside and spam holds on one of the Green Mythos, drawing the aggro from the The Killing Machine. And more important, diverging the heals. If someone dies here, he should be Teleported to Cowards Hill and rezzed, and came back suicide after , without popping an EoE.
Meanwhile The Killing Machine will try to get as many possible Mythos as they can. In our last clearing, the best, we could take 3 of the Yellow Mythos. The last one were down to Half Life when the EoE ended. Do not run, keep attacking until you are dead.
After the last Yellow goes down, everyone joins the The Suicide Decoys, and DO NOT POP ANY MORE EOE. There is no need. Just go to the healing blanket, select the new Targeter and clear the Greens first, and the blues Last. Beat Hamidon, mass death on the Mythos spawn. Repeat.
If the raid can keep the getting 3 yellows per EoE we will need only 8 per hero.
Enjoy your raids kids
Looks good, except for this part:

IMO, Fly and especially group Fly slows everyone down waaaay too much. It will take much longer to get from Mito to Mito, making us waste too many EoE's, too keep alive during the longer duration.

The point is to make easier for the now flyer to attack the Higher mythos. NOt use Group Fly to get here but once on a higher up mythos use it to make easier.

Ok, that works.
Wow. You make it look so simple!

But after we learned, it was mate. The strategy itself ain't complicated. Diverging the healings by attacking a Green Mytho directed as you called was pretty good, and we were taking down the Yellows fast by the end of it.
Of course taht depends on willing teams and good coordination and a bit of practice to work fast. But check the US guides, now THAT ain't simple at all. The strategy we used worked fantasticly well, special on the last run. And DO not depend on much (come on 2 Taunt teams with two tankers and 3 Dedicated Emps each???).
Ah, and sorry for been a bit pain in the Tells to you hehe.

It seems to be our thing, really. The last US guide for the old hami was really complicated, and we simplified it. We've just done the same again.

I'd just like to thank Xanthus and the PDs for planning and running this, although it's amazing how many other people seem to have been responsible for it in retrospect.
From my point of view (Trick Arrow), well, we had 2 of us and we didn't need 2, particularly with Qin and co SB-ing us. If we had a 2nd Dark def, that would have perfect (and sped the raid up quite a bit), but as long as we only have the one, I'm perfectly happy to cede the role to Cynic.
