It's having the gear to do it. I don't mean VP stuff. I mean sky, JC, 1 group stuff.
It's having the people to do it. Raids operate on a 24/7 basis here and that's super hard to manage.
It's having the knowledge of how to do it. Strats that are basic raiding now were pioneered and perfected for P99's raiding environment and changed on the fly as mechanics and rules changed.
And finally, it's doing it. This has been what we now refer to as class R's biggest hang up.
So I guess raiding skill, if you wanna call it that, is preparation, understanding, and execution. Mainly due to experience, the raiding guilds are better at all of these things, but more casual guild have had alot of time to get the big one done, preparation, since the P99 timeline is so borked.
I do think it's a shame that not more guilds are willing to participate in class C, but FFA provides a unique opportunity for smaller guilds to show up the people who are apparently pros at this raid thing here and there. It makes me so happy every time Taken or BDA steals a mob from class C.
