Raid Toon
 

What's up guys... Kind of bored here at school. Doing a lot of reading on end game stuff and I think I'm going to try to power level my swashy to be able to do end game with him. We already have four or five tanks that play regularly, and unless I'm trying to keep aggro on one mob, I don't think the monk will be as useful in the Raid setting. Loved the frog for questing, but would like to be more then another set of weopons for bigger groups/Raids.

Let me know if you guys have any thoughts...

A healling class would probably be needed. I mean thats really the types of styles you got. Damage. Taking Damage. and Healling

My Wife plays a Warden, so that's taken care of:)

I was just looking for a toon that would be more valuable in the raid setting then my monk... I've tried a couple, and the one I like the best and have heard the best reviews is the swash(as far as DPS).

And our guild doesn't have many of them...

lazy,

from the raids ive been on, usually a swashy was there, but i've been on them also with a monk.. the thing with a monk is that fiegn death comes crucial in the upper tier, especially the group fiegn death is a raid saver, i've seen it save us from having to rerun a zone, also to get by a monster we dont need to get to something that was worth killing.. in the upper tier monks can put out alot of dps..

but generally a swashy is needed for the straight melee dps... with foxey getting his monk, i would say go with the swashy...

I didn't know foxie had a monk... Thought that was his wife:rolleyes:

That's true Danlar... We'll see what happens, I might play it through with my monk and lvl the swashy when I get the time. I'm driving back up tonight, so hopefully I'll see you guys then:)

Well when i get my tank up to 70 i am currently at lvl 62. I think i will prolly be the tank danlar main assist laramor has a wizzy. a scout like a swashy would be good for group sneak but a warden can group invis. well and as danlar mentioned we have a monk now cause foxey sold his mystic so. I would say make what you want cause in a full raid x4 we need to have 4 balanced groups and seeing as we are almost the most poweerful guild on the qeynos side since the others are dropping like flys a good assortment of toon will be needed to fill out even a raid x2. any way that is my 2 cents and i expect my change back to lol.

BTW: good to see you all getting on the forums.


BTWW: what lvl are we going to cap out some lower toons for straight PvPing and running HQ's any ideas some are saying lvls 22-24 in that range any imput would be great.

we need
 

we need scout (troubadors and dirges and a ranger here and there) also need more healers like templars and mystic and we need a warlock and illusionist that what we need to raid and the monk is a very highly recomed toon for the fegin death

one thing i think we dont have is a dirge, i dont recall seeing one in the guild anyways... a dirge is badly needed in a raid, mondo buffs on a dirge..

I have one he is lvl 12 but i am going to have a lot of toons to build up if we need all these classes lol.anyway just wanted to let you know i have a dirge but we will also need my guardian in a raid to lol.

Hey Guys,
We're out of town for the weekend... This morning, I had the wacky idea of my wife and I dueling a Dirge and Troub... Yeah, sounds crazy...

Would their buffs compliment each other?

Any thoughts would be cool. Thanks guys and have a great weekend,

Lazy

Humm that would be intresting to try if the buffs do stack you would be fast as hell. They both have basically the same buffs but I am curious now to find out if they would stack.

Yeah, I tried that yesterday morning, and the buffs do not stack...

I wasn't sure if the dirge had more offensive buffs and the troub more defensive. Not really sure about that. Let me know if you guys have any thoughts. Right now, we are building up a dirge and swashy, since Rymer already has a high lvl troub. If we like the dirge a lot, I might power lvl it up, so Lady can still play her warden and I can use the dirge.

We'll see how it goes.

yep rathious,

you will be maintank after you get the lvl's and gear, unless i get alot of relic stuff, but if you do get the gear, a gardian makes a better tank and a pally makes a better main assist.. thats the way i laid out my aa's at first anyways.. i screwed up on them though, when i out lvled you and i needed the stamina i screwed my aa's all up trying to get str and stamina...

when i respec i'm going on all my melee crits and spell crits...

as far as aa's go, i've learnt strength is easily maxed when i'm in a group, or the other way around my wisdom will max easily in group... where a paladin lacks is mitigation buffs like the gaurdian and zerker gets, so i will always fall short on mitigation opposed to a gaurdian or zerker, but the new expansion is suppose to solve that according to what i've read, just have to wait and see...

plus i dont like main tankin anymore, i like assisting , starting off in defensive stance then switching out and going offensive, after the battle and aggro has set in on the main tank..

for t7 raids we need an x4 raid group... 4 or 5 healers a mix of them, casters of all types, a pally or 2 :] , a couple of beserkers, scout class's....

bah just a good mix of all class's....

i just hope people are patient as everyone lvl's up.. so QG can raid as a guild, thats the main thing i'm worried about!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hear that man ppl wil;l have to be patient but then agian I guess if ppl can't wait for other to lvl then we prolly don't need them. I have been in my 60's for a long while and been working on getting higher lvl it is a tough road I just hope we all can stick it out cause in the end we will be the strongest guild in qeynos.

My opinion,

Grp 1,
2-3 tanks 1 dirge rest healers
Tanks in order of priority,
(Zerker for high dps which deals high aggro and big taunts.

Second, Pali to ward, heal, taunt, ward, heal taunt..So if MT goes down he should have enough aggro to take control.

Third tank, Guardian for huge defensive buffs and if all else fails, a great tank to keep the the rest of the raid from getting wiped.

Send and third tank can be switched if need be.

Grp 2,
Ranged and High DPS class group with 1 troub for crit buff and Power re-gen buff's also a healer for group heals from aoe's and AE dots placed within the healers group.

Grp 3 and 4
mid to upper grade DPS classes with healers spread within..






MONKS ARE NEEDED. since foxey now has a zerker, we can now use your monk lazy..

I will edit if i think of anything else.

yeah
 

Yeah, that sounds great, I got my 70 warden, 55 ranger hopefully 60 soon, we are on our way to becoming the shit, Hail The Gaurd!!!! Hail The Gaurd!!! The Gaurd is coming so Freetards watch out, we taking on your city bia's

Yeah we should get some tier 6 raids going on. we have enough ppl to wouork on those or even tier 5.

Lady and I are working on building up a dirge and mystic... to give us some versitility in the high lvls... I would like to just lvl them up ASAP, but she likes questing, so we'll see. Nice work on the raids so far... Lots of loose ends, but once we get used to coordinating everything, it should be a lot of fun :)

So are we ready to start raiding?? I am lvl 68 guardian almost full master spells for my lvl 60 -70 spells I am personally ready to start doing more tier 7 raids. I want every one who is seriously intrested put up a post and the raid toon that you plan to use so we can get it going.

Rathious
Guardian Lvl 68
I can raid most any week night after 10:00 pm EST or 7:00 pm PST
I am also good to go on weekends anytime as long as i have a couple days notice via guild mail in-game.

P.S. I want to get leetzor gear! HEHE!
