Congrats on Vex Thal, thats quite an achievement. We are getting our people ready for Raiding, and have tried to balance our guild by beginning new Alts and such.... What can we realisticly hit with this crew in Tier 0, and how much more of a force do we need to hit the easiest Tier 1 mob? This is our current force (in a week or two should all be 3-6 levels higher: 65, 51 Warrior 41, 35 Sham 40, 40 Pally 35 Enchanter 41 Ranger 35 Cleric 42 Druid And many lower level (15-30) players who can't help yet. Just your honest opinions... _________________________________________________

The biggest thing I can see is that you do not have any complete healers, or enough healers in general. I'm sure others will chime in, but that is the main issue I can see. Good to see you folks trying to progress!! <a href="http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=834254" target="_Blank"><img src="http://members.cox.net/fbiven/testbanner.jpg"></img></a>

once the cleric hits 39 and gets CH, you guys can probably try lodi with sodor tanking. The druid can spot heal, and the shaman can try to slow (use mala first), as well as the enchanter (tashing first). It could be a long shot, but your easiest chance at a victory. <A href="http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=1027902"target=_blank>The King of Death, Saenayil Shadowraith </a>

Realistically,in addition to more healers, you will need lots of levels, and all of the basic classes: -buff and debuff classes ( 2+ cleric, 1+ druid, chanter, shaman) -tank classes (pally, warrior, sk) -a ranger, bard, and/or monk puller at 60+ Aim to get everyone to 50+, then 55+, then 60+ as your raid targets get harder. Alts won't help a guild much if at all. Full time characters that play their class to 60+ and know it well will help. -Cadsuane Holy necromancer of jebus

Once you have what Cadsuane said and have done Lodizal, you can move on to Kelorek, Severilious, Talendor, then Va'Dyn. Nihilists! Fuck me. I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

theres also better gear on the server now, which wont make CHs faster, but itll help the tank take less damage, which will help whatever healing power you do have. get that cleric up! lvls = mana = survive more crap. shammy probably wont land much on lodi until hes around 50. what people generally did when first doing lodi is get a SoW'd snaring class and chanter/shaman, and kite him with snare until slow lands, then engage his ass, wait for war to get enough agro, then go at that motherfucker. do not forget enrage! you never know if he turns, and he also runs (dont know if its after or during enrage), but if it is him turning to run can eat everyone fast. i think i first did him at 30 something, and i did a whopping 50 damage at most. i think with the cleric and druid getting more levels he should be doable. then you can go after fishy dragon next. --------------------------

Yes, that kill was done with the patented "kite until slowed" method though -- so Dere never had to heal until after slow<img src="/forums/images/gpicons/face_happy.gif">. (edit) damn that's what I get for waiting an hour to click "Save". --

Thanks guys. Were working hard on our levels right now... We have dusty toons who have just barely woken from their slumber since the release of WoW. hehehe... but were back and mostly intact. The cleric is leveling the fastest out of all of us. Thanks... we were thinking of traditionally engaging him with Tank, healers, and dps. I hope this isnt suicide. Hoping to make a dent on the server. _________________________________________________

No real reason not to kite until slowed. And then tank it afterwards. We're not saying a kite kill, just that it'll make it a lot easier for your one cleric to keep your tank up without stealing aggro from him. --

Have the SoWed ranger run Lodi around until he is snared. Then, the
illusionist can hit him with slow. Once both land, the ranger and
illusionist should zone into the tower to clear aggro, and the tank can
engage. The two in the ToFS should invis themselves (to avoid getting
aggro from the mobs that wander around the ToFS entry), and zone back
out immediately to join the kill in progress. Danidianya Whitestar
