NY Raid Practice Euro Time Saturday GMT 2000-ish

[Elrojo]

The Aussie-time practice went very well.

No clear, but the tanks worked very well and in the end we consistantly made it to 2nd phase.

Now its time for the Euros.

What we need is a 2nd tank (maybe zeril?) and a 2nd healer (bredin?) and then 6 DPS.

If you can make it let me know here.

Sorry for short notice.

Again please have TS3 (no need to talk, just listen).

[tryller]

I'd like to heal

[Glewin]

I can join as DPS

[Chrisax]

OMG I read "Sunday" I logged on and I was wondering what was happening.

I really wanted to be there.

[Elrojo]

it didnt run anyhow.

Lacked another tank......

But we can try again

[Chrisax]

Gah, all my fault then. Sorry everyone I REALLY misread "Sunday". I don't know why...

[Elrojo]

well also i was an hour late. It was 6am for me and I got home after midnight.

Also its quite late for Zeril, who may be the other tank regularly.

So perhaps the re-schedule should be for a day time euro slot.

[Zeril]

Well, it's not that late if raid would actually start at 20gmt, but we only started gathering at that time and even after hour and half we were still missing tank

So i dont mind staying up longer on weekends, as we are usually done with our regular NM runs around 19gmt, so if raid would start hour after NM runs it would be more than perfect
Also i noticed on weekends, there is lot of ppl online at cca. 5-6gmt, so that might be also good time for raids to consider...

But i'm fine with 20gmt and rest of our EU NM squad is usually still playing after NM runs. Think only Lireana would be pushing him self a bit, but he was up and waiting for raid with us for another hour and half after proposed raid start time.

One potential issue is that Chris may raid lead in AO and raids may go late, or be exhausting (some raids can be just terrible).

The main thing for tanks is to be roughly the same build and stats with respect to hate generation and AR. You can get at flickers, or flat out refusal to change at if one tank is seriously out-hating the other. The problem is high dot damage to BOTH tanks at the same time.

So when you two see each other in game you should work out your best combinations, including weapons.

Clearly, the day you "need" me for NY at 20GMT, I have to find an officer to lead the AO raid(s) instead of me, period. I can schedule an AO raid for an earlier time, but I'll likely be brain-toasted after it.

Good news: 20ish more Black Marks and I'll have my last 10.4 defense / block glyph.

Bad news: I haven't done NY raid at all since an early beta step where I was not a tank. And my memories are at the same time vague and probably somewhat irrelevant dues to changes. So I can perfectly fail this bad. You have been warned.

I have normally 5/7 tank talismans and 2/7 attack talismans OR 4/7 and 3/7, all with 10.4 glyphs (when the last one is installed).

Weapons are blade and chaos, both 10.4, both with 10.4 penetration glyphs, both with purple castigation signets (to guarantee a better overall hit rate). My other purple weapons are a 10 purple AR and a 10.1 Fist, so it's not a good idea.

More info later and I'll see with Zeril.

[Chrisax]

So, I'm confused: when is next raid? Is it Saturday June 1st? (ie today?)

[Elrojo]

Un fortunately I havent been on much this week so not really around to organise the Aus time, so the Euro one hasnt been tended to either.

Perhaps we just make it a weekly Saturday GMT 2000 practice.

[Chrisax]

Just now next one was set to Sunday 2, 20:00GMT.
