That was a fun fight and i lold when skar got blown back near the end of it. Its hard to watch and tell whats going on fron my phone tho.
Anytime we tried to contest a mob vs Empire i didnt have high hopes, (as opposed to cherry picking fights, where i did want to win). Just show up and try our best. Fighting Empire, a lot like Azrael vs Nihilum, they either had a numbers advantage or a gear advantage, and it was up to them to mistake for us to win. Also, as colgate amd others mentioned at the time, its true the class composition of our better players wasnt good (almost all SKs, wizards and rogues). But i have a screen shot folder with 1500+ kills in it, and had a lot of fun getting them, so I think things worked out for me.
Also It might seem like im contradicting myself because in other threads I mention the gear disadvantage not being a big deal, but between equally skilled players it obviously makes a big deal.
The great thing was at the time, the only way to acquire that advantage was raiding with 70 - 80 + people, so there was ALWAYS shitty players to kill.
Through out velious i picked up some great wins on well geared players that show case that "skill" comes before gear. Me and Miguel beat Gongshow and Omai(?) At a time where they both had abashis, Killing the necro and making gongshow plug. I also smashed Mornin on his warrior 1v1 well into the time he had some dozekar / vulak lewt.
