We went to HoT yesterday and I cast Aegis of Ro on the MT every wurm, plus someone else sent me a tell to ask if I could Aegis on its group also (Did he read this thread? Maybe!). Finally, I asked in guild if other groups with members who could benefit from +33 FR vs wurms could send me a tell and only one other group did. So three groups total, and once I know the name of one person per group, it becomes very manageable. I recast aegis on all three people every wurm. No need to track time or anything.

When the MT changes, I only need to ask if they are in the same group as the MT before, to know if I need to adjust my list. It appears communication was the key all along [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Aside from that and summoning rods behind clerics (they were eating them up!), I couldn't find time to manage a pet (with positioning and being ready to dismiss it if it gets blinded) so I did not use one, but I only see it as the next challenge in my quest for raiding efficiency for that tiny extra DPS.

One thing I might be interested in: I do not know a thing about how groups are formed in raids (except clerics in the same group with a bard, and maybe melees together with an off healer?), but it might help me if groups were formed to bunch together people exposed to a fire AoE together. It might not be as important as other considerations, and it might not be worth the trouble, but I'll dig a bit into it. Does anyone have a resource on group compositions in raids? If I was more confident in the way groups are formed now, I would be more comfortable adding another consideration.

Concerning resists requirements, I agree that they are important, but the way we are doing things work just fine so I am happy with that [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I think everyone wants to have more resists so the raid is more efficient. Intrinsic motivation appears to be the main motivator in TSS.

Cheers!
