Battle plan:
We learned a bit from last year.
I can’t stress you enough to eat an EoE on time as well as a T3 Breakfree. Make sure to monitor your status icons at all time an eat more EoE’s/Breakfrees when tey start blinking
Note: EoE do not stack, so only use one at a time.
Will start like any usual Hamid by clearing the initial Mitos. Then we regroup for the nukes/buffage phases.
(Strategy may change, with some open discussion, so keep updated)
Steps will be :
- Everyone Dismiss pets
- Cast all bio nukes (they are 5min duration, and cover only 20 targets)
- Cast all pets, HVAS, Shivans( they will auto attack hamid, creating agro)
- Cast all AoE buff, Am, Mind link, WoP, regen tree, etc.
- Things go fast at that point, Brute team cast there chem Nukes (cause they will be too far later on), and move back to position. Only the main brute team go back to yellow mitos position (previously thumb tacked).
- At 50% everyone cast there Chem Nukes(debuff) then there Nuke Nuke (dam). Spam heal /buff and DPS on Hamid.
Keep in mind this is a one shot deal. And the momentum is very important. Everything will be played inside 3minutes, or less
I also suggest you set your AoE heal on auto, I started to do that on my Dark,Kin and Emp, if I get lagged out, at least I know my heal may continue on.

I'm off for 10 days so I'll make it my point to get nukes/shivans/klondike bars/etc.

Just to clarify, it is possible to clear 3 blooms.| I also saw/experienced the 75% push attempt led by Arky, and there is no way to clear 3 full blooms, if you fail the attempt. |
The very first nuke raid attempt just barely failed to bring down Hami, but we stayed and cleared the three blooms after a regroup. Place taunters on the six yellow positions, but focus all damage through a targeter on one yellow position at a time; clear it and pull out if needed. Repeat on the blues, again focusing all damage through a targeter. Then the same on the greens.
The next week we fixed the timing error and the nuke raid went off perfectly. Pacing ourselves with no rush, it was about 9 mins start to finish, with the nucleus fight lasting under 2 mins.
Have fun (I'll be there if I can)!

Has anyone volunteered to record this? I can FRAPS it if need be.
I'll do my best to be there on my brute (will have shivs and a bionuke for sure, hopefully an HVAS by then too)
I'm rather looking forward to this, I can only hope everyone gets their nukes
Welcome back the Page 1, Nuke Raid Thread!!
This is a reminder that if you want to participate and see this raid succeed, you need to get nukes! If you need help, just ask!
Hope you all have your nukes ready.
Friday is coming FASSSST! :P

My emp has all three nukes and is ready to go for tonight.

I forgot to mention, Bring 2 or 3 Tier 3, Breakfree insp, if can (for yourself) (or more to share with ppl).
And a bunch of EoE's from base/market, to share with ppl, if ever we have short supply.
The main issue we face on those Nuke Raid is the huge lag will create. And since will have 3 mitos spawn that wont all be covered by the yellow taunter team, will get KB'Ed a lot.... and i mean... your regular mag 8/10/12 kb prot will look shy <.<
If everyone/most ppl can manage to keep a T3 breakfree insp up at all time, as well as an EoE, and have some ppl with Heal on auto, even if we lag out, we should stay alive.
Worst thing is when ppl start being KB'ed all over the place due to huge KB stress from Mitos, and crazy lag.

So here are 2 videos. The demo file was literally only about 2 min long. Had massive server lag once we brought the pets out. Some how it got speed up from what I (we) actually perceived, but no need to sit through all that!

Hamidon Nuke Raid Jan 7th, 10pm EST
Global Co will be celebrating its 4 years of activity this January 3rd.
Part of our celebration plan is to run an Hamid Nuke Raid this January 7th at 10pm EST.
This will be a red side raid, since our Main groupe is red side.
You may wonder what is an Hamid Nuke Raid?
Its an Hamidon raid, where we use massive quantities of the Warburg temp power aka WB Nukes.
Back in the days when hamidon raid were long runs, with evacs, Nuke raids were a huge contrasts. As in, you had no evac, and killed Hamidon through tree full blooms.
These days the contrast is not there anymore, we often if not always skip the 25% bloom and do not evac anymore. We succeeded many times pushing the 50% bloom (pushing through 2 blooms) sometime even with few ppl in zone (I remember we did it with 30 ppl only).
50% push is not that hard, with a trained crew. If you stream EoEs, have ppl healing, and have bit of mez protection, you can stay under the 2 blooms stress for a good while. But there is a price to pay, if things go south. That is not taking in consideration the inspiration bug (eat an EoE and its gone after 3sec only) and the Lag. When things go south, you have to evac, rez ppl and you are stuck with two full blooms to clear at once. And that easily transform a speedy Raid into a Long one. That is why I have stopped trying the 50% push lately. I rather spend 5-10min to clear a bloom, and then have to deal with the consequence of a failed 50% push.
I also saw/experienced the 75% push attempt led by Arky, and there is no way to clear 3 full blooms, if you fail the attempt.
Back on Topic
We plan on clearing the initial Mitos only, then we regroup for our attack phase (explanation coming). We will kill Hamidon from 100% hp to 0, We will be under tree full bloom stress, We will experience awesomely awful lag, Will take pics, and Brag we did it for a whole month.
But who is WE ?
I personally invite everyone from the Virtue community to join, help and share the fun.
If you are interested please sign up, by replying to this thread.
One more detail before I explain our battle plan.
We need at least 20 ppl with all 3 WB Nukes. More is better; you have a few days ahead to gather those. HVAS/Shivans are also a good idea.
