This is true - in theory, Voodoo. (and I agree with you)
In reality - we still get a couple "new tanks" each raid.
Either ones that have never taunted (but with hold or dmg team experience, etc)
or ones that have never done a raid at all - which we welcome.
Basic instructions are given out during the GM hunt to set the mood.
Then, so common an occurrence, there are one or two that, once on team - just stop replying to chat during setup.
Either afk ordering takeout or somesuch and after a couple attempts to get them to target a mito
- they are moved or removed. It does slow down the process.
Having the regulars is always a blessing, but I don't want to discourage the new players
from trying it, either.
So, that in a nutshell - is the holdup.

Hami Raid for 6/2 at 9pm. Please bring shivans, nukes, heavies if you can, and of course incarnated 50s. We need non barrier destinies- ageless, rebirth, and clarion are all good! Plan is to kill 1 round of mitos quickly and then buff and take him out

Theme is... Remembering Fallen Heroes (in game)

fallen as in died or fallen as in became villains?

I meant died, but either is fine.

An Ultimate inspiration would probably be useful for the spike at the end. Just one should be plenty as they last for 3 minutes and if our spike takes longer than that, then we're screwed. You can pick one up in Ouroboros for only 2 Astrals.

I guess this way went well? Someone mentioned there were 2 raids successful, but wasn't clear to me if both used the same strat. I assume buffing took place at start of Hami mauling and not at first Mito threshold?

If so, new standard?

I've already forgotten about most of you

Not sure what the originally proposed strategy was, but we buffed while on the safe rock and then again after all the mitos were down the first (and only) time.

It worked very well...

You didn't hear it from me, but someone told me that the on the second run, this Peacebringer by the name of Thunder Light taunted Hami (points to signature)

For the 6/9 Hami Raid there will be no theme. People do not seem to be dressing up in them anymore

As for the strategy, I personally liked the faster raids, but not everyone does. For those who were there... who prefers a fast raid (or 2) versus 1 traditional raid?

Griefing PB was griefing Hami?

That's racist

Or something.

I prefer this way. I'm sure that we may not be able to do it this way all the time, but if they go the same way they did on Saturday, I feel it's worth the shot.

I like the faster raids (don't really care about getting the chance for a shard drop from the Mitos anymore), but, at least for this last run, several of us went out and got nukes and shivans. If you add that time to the raid time, then it's a much longer raid than the traditional one - for those that put in the extra preparation time.

However, I am wondering how necessary the nukes and shivans are. At least with shivans you get 5 at a time so they can span multiple raids, but I don't know if I want to spend 20-35 minutes in Warburg every week getting nukes.

I am pretty sure only you, Freaky, Alpha, and I had nukes. Alpha didn't use his. And Freaky and I both used ours during the 1st raid, not the second. So I don't think we actually had any nukes used on the 2nd raid. Can anyone else confirm this?

I used a Shivan on the first one. Didn't use my nuke because of how fast Hami was defeated.

I did not use anything during the second raid because I was in Dwarf form and my temps were grayed out.

Although... Maybe Shivans were not greyed out and I did use it for the second one. I have to check how many I have left. I know for sure the Nuke was because I was asked during the raid if I had used it and I noticed I could not.

I think shivans are reasonable to get though, since it's only once every 3 weeks basically.

Haven't had time to tweak costumes to the theme, but I still like the idea. Maybe do a couple of them per month instead of every week?

You were not even AT the 2nd raid, so you are only proving my point :P

I checked, Shivans grey out while in Dwarf too so I did not use Shivans nor nukes on the second run.

Note, she said Arkyaeon, not Vanum. That means we likely won't have to fight monsters for 30-45 minutes so try and show up on time.
