Need Help Killing Lord Rak'ashir Saturday 5PM EST

[loramin]

This Saturday at 5pm EST I am going to do the final fight of my Shaman epic, and I was hoping to find a few people who would be willing to help me. Specifically I'm looking for the following core group (ideally as close to 60 as possible) ...


Rogue (for opening doors and to help pull)
Druid/Ranger/Monk (for pulling and/or splitting pulls)
Cleric
Shaman with Torpor or another Cleric
Tank (Warrior/Shadow Knight/Paladin)

I'm also looking for characters of any class 50+ to fill a second group.

I'm not rich, but I can offer everyone who helps fill the core group 500 plat each for their trouble. I will also have three separate 1k prizes, which I will give randomly to three attendees (whether they're in the core group or not). All prizes will most likely be given as gems.

Even if you don't win anything, you'll be helping me finally get my epic weapon, after more than a year of play on this server ... which means you'll have a (soon-to-be level 60) Shaman in your debt.

If you would like to help please respond by posting your character name, class, and level. Thanks for your consideration.

TLDR: Lord Rak raid this Saturday, 5pm EST; please help!

[Grizzler]

I can possibly help at that time. Unsure but will attempt to log on and if you still need help just send me a tell.

Grizzler 51 Cleric

[tristantio]

Never on that early sorry! Have a bump though!

[loramin]

Thanks Grizzler, I really appreciate your offer to help.

And thanks anyways tristantio; it's just as well that you don't come, as I'm already indebted to you for making the auction tracker ;)

We are also looking to get my brother shaman epic fight done, maybe we can help each other? There are 3 of us, not sure if we can all make it at your time, but we have a 60 enc/cleric/monk/rogue, and a shaman but no torpor yet.(Currently trying to buy it)

[Madbad]

Get this man his epic!

[khanable]

find me a bp cleric and an enchanter to make the fight go faster and i'll come do it tonight for free, lol

edit: guess we need pullers, forgot about that, scrap the enchanter then

I can use all the help I can get, and I'd be happy to reciprocate however I can, especially for the enc/cleric/monk/rogue. Not sure I'll be of much use to another Shaman with their epic fight though: I don't have Torpor so all I can offer is some extra sub-par healing.

Unfortunately it has to be Saturday night, as I have to coordinate with Daldaen (who is graciously selling me a tear) ... but if Cucumbers can come Saturday I'd love the help. Any enchanters/clerics with Donal's out there want to help convince him?

Get this man his epic!

:D Thanks Mad

[Sage Truthbearer]

Let me know if you want my 54 Paladin or 52 Bard for your second group.

[lecompte]

I MAY be out of town at that time but if I'm in town, I'll fill out your group w/ whatever you're missing. Can probably force 3 or so people to come.

[loramin]

Great, thank you Sage!

And thank you lecompte; hope you can make it (and if you can bring friends the more the merrier!)

[RedXIII]

If i am online and not raiding. Send Redwiz(wizard,60)/Henrique(monk,60) a tell and ill come help. Cucumbers can also find me on teamspeak.

Ive never done the shaman epic pull but i am pretty sure i can make it if necessary.

Goodluck.

[Pokesan]

I'll rogue for you if I remember.

Level 55 Dullard

[loramin]

Thank you both RedXIII and Pokesan; that really helps fill out the core group.

[loramin]

Well, I wish I could edit my original post, but since I can't here's a summary of where we stand:


Rogue

maker or his associate (possibly)
Pokesan (if he remembers)

Druid/Ranger/Monk

RedXII (Henrique) (if online and not raiding)
lecompte (Lecompte) (if in town)
maker or his associate (possibly)

Cleric

lecompte (Halmir) (if in town)
Grizzler (if he's on)
maker or his associate (possibly)

Shaman with Torpor or another Cleric

same as above

Warrior/Shadow Knight/Paladin

Cucumbers (if he can come on Saturday)
Sage



There's still a lot of question marks, but we've at least got a shot at having everyone we need to kill Rak. Here's hoping a few more people chime in, both so that we can have more backups for the core slots and so that we can have a second group.

I really can't express how much I appreciate everyone's offer to help. I know my rewards are pretty tiny, which means that anyone offering to help is doing so out of kindness and not greed. I'll probably say it a hundred more times before this is done, but thank you, thank you, thank you.

[loramin]

Damn I miss the edit button!

Forgot to include people who responded on PM. We also have:


Pan (60 Monk) (he can't stick around long so we'll need to start on time and move fast to get his help ... but I'm sure everyone else wants that too)
Whirled (51 Warrior/56 Wizard)

[Seltius]

Loramin I will help if you want I can either bring my monk lvl 60 or my rogue lvl 53. It has been a while since I have been active this was the fight in CoM right?

[loramin]

Yes exactly. Would love to have either character come, thanks Seltius!

[Kalmiri]

Not high enough to help but wanted to wish you luck!
The other day I ported a guy who was bouncing with joy after just getting his shaman epic. He was sooo proud to have finally done it, Wishing you that joy too!

[cornisthebest]

I have a 48 mage named Busuuyiph and would like to help.

[Junias]

60 Cleric w/ Donal's, count me in.

[k2summit]

I can add the pure leetnes of my 58 ranger. I'd say 90% unless something comes up.

Edit: to say ive tanked this asshole in times of dire need, although hopefully that wont be necessary.

[Kembal]

Message myself (Kaehlan, I may also be on Padrig) or a member of Anonymous to get ahold of an officer and I'm sure I can pull at least one group down there for ya. =)

[loramin]

Thanks for the the thought kalmiri. If things go well and I get my epic you can bet I'll be singing about it from the (Butcherblock/Rathe/Skyfire/...) mountain tops.


cornisthebest, Junias, k2summit and Kembal ... wow. Thank you all for being such generous people. I don't know what else to say except that I'm very lucky to share a server with all of you!

Edit: to say ive tanked this asshole in times of dire need, although hopefully that wont be necessary.
Good to know, but yeah hopefully it won't come to that. Especially since we've now got junias, who has a Donal's BP, which should help convince Cucumbers to tank.

[loramin]

Ok, I think I have everyone ...

maker or his associate (possibly)
Pokesan (if he remembers)

RedXII (Henrique) (if online and not raiding)

See everyone at 5pm EST in the City of Mist; together we will slay that shameful ghost of an Iksar lord.

[Sage Truthbearer]

Mission accomplished.

[iruinedyourday]

awewomeee! couldn't have happened to a better barb.

[loramin]

It was a success! Thank you everyone (full thank you post here (http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1869360)).

[loramin]

Oh, and nice screenshot Sage; I didn't have any of Rak's corpse, so thanks! And thanks for coming of course.

[loramin]

Sorry for not noticing this sooner, but things were pretty crazy at the fight and when I looted Rak I just blindly right-clicked without realizing I'd looted a Shadow Knight-only shield (http://wiki.project1999.com/Atramentous_Shield) (in addition to the scale).

Any Shadow Knights who were there yesterday: if you could use the shield please PM me. If no one responds I'll try and give the shield back to the server somehow (eg. by giving it to a random un-twinked SK). I got an epic after all; no need to be greedy ;)

[Whirled]

Mission accomplished.

[Sadre Spinegnawer]

this has been a very cool thread and story. thnx Loramin for putting yourself out there, and the people who helped him kick ass. wish i was there lol.....

[Seltius]

lol I see my corpse! I had forgotten how bad the ae was I should have read up on the fight again and gotten in a group with a healer.

Glad you were able to get it done.
