(insert something witty about the Hami raid here)

We've got team leads lined up, and a couple foaming at the mouth to do this, so let's get this done, say.....Saturday 10/3 @ 8 EST. EoE farming Friday 10/2 @ 8 EST. If you plan on coming to the raid, make sure you help farm EoE's. This is a MUST to do the raid properly.

Here's a few notes on what to bring (for any raid rookies):
-First and foremost, the level range is 45-50. If you're not quite 50 yet, and you're worried about debt, then please, do everyone participating in the raid, and stay home. I'm not trying to be an @$$ here, but if you're too scared to die, then you're a liability.
-We're gonna need about 6 tanks, but they absolutely have to have KB protection and have taken taunt and have it slotted, and I'm not talking about a single taunt IO. You have a tank that can kick any AV's @$$ and out damage any scrap, well, I bow to your awesomeness, but we need taunt-bots for this. Anything else can very easily jeopardize the raid.
-We're gonna need a few empaths to keep our Hami taunter with constant AB, and a couple more wouldn't hurt, but I'd really like to see a couple of dark defenders. Things go bad sometimes, and I have seen scrapper teams wipe because many reasons, but I love having a pile of scrappers lying dead underneath a yellow mito and seeing everyone of them rezzed at once. Oh, and the whole anti-terrorize thing rox hard, too. My kingdom for a dark with teleport!
-Speaking of scraps, regen's rule the raids, period. I'm not telling any of the non-regens to stay home, they are more than welcome, but keep in mind, none of your resists or defenses are gonna mean squat in the raid. Sorry
Ok, ok, ok, enough of that. Look, it basically comes down to this, bring who you want, because we're here to have fun. Just keep in mind that this is a true team effort, and probably the task needing teamwork more than any other. A few people don't do their job, and it could break a raid. We can find a position for just about anyone as long as you can follow directions and have a little patience, cause I really hate those people who ask you what are we doing 500 times before we're ready to give the actual briefing(you know who you are!!). I hope we get a good turnout, and hopefully, bring raiding back to infinity(and beyond?) on a regular basis. If you have any questions, send me a PM here, or a message ingame to @Cremzen.










P.S. Overlook that overused and over-rated infinty and beyond joke, I'm allowed one horrid one.

One more thing, a Trick Arrow defender or 2 would be awesome. Throw down oil slick, and have massive team rez off it from the dark miasma chars, and a bunch of kins fulcrum shifting off them just prior to the assault teams going in, ZOMG!!!!!! Good stuff.

I guess I qualify. I have not been to a single raid in the new format. However, with the old one, I've been hit point caller and was lead taunt on one occasion. At the time, my tank had Taunt slotted 3 recharge, 2 taunt, 1 range. I have less slots on it now with IO's and it's +60% taunt, +60% recharge, +20% range. With the new Hami, regen is more important than healing? He has 300% regen.

Or I could bring a defender (emp or dark). Or something else.

Bring whatever you want, like i said in my first post, and i think you're tank will be a great addition to the raid. We usually are a few tanks light of what we need, mainly because it's probably the most boring part of the raid, but it's what we have to do to get this done.
Don't pay too much attention to my initial post. I gave a few notes so people would have a basic idea of what to bring, but more than that, I wanted to give the impression that this is an easy task to do, but not one we can half-***. If you have a good group that bring their best, this raid will be cake, but, if people bring just any thrown together char, this will be an epic phail. You can bring damn near any char you want to play with, you just can't bring that char you just PLed to 50, and know next to nothing on how to use them. It was said in the last thread I posted that bAEbies ruined the last raid, and it did.
Basically, I just want everyone who is not familiar with the raids to bring their best, do their given role to the fullest, listen close, and be patient. I've had a blast of the raids OSHA and Miss illuzion ran, and I want to try to bring those back, and to make it fun again.

A good number of people came out for the EoE farming tonight, which gives me hope that we can get this raid done successfully tomorrow night. Thanks to all those who showed, and I hope to have a good turnout for the raid.

.... and I won't be there. My DSL starting acting up right after the STF. We were actually posing for our victory screenshot when I got LCTM and it's been wonky since. It seems to be settling down, but I don't want to be in the middle of anything if it goes out again.
