This a thing yet or just a thread of "what if this happened..."?

4am my time for window end. But I just got done saying it's a 24/7 server...so yes. I'll do it.

Let's start the raid at 6:00 a.m. US eastern.

If you want to participate and don't have a toon of the right level, higher-level toons are welcome to come in support.

This is going to be the first one, so it will be much like the pilot episode of a TV series. Kinks to work out, roles to define, etc., so I'll pre-ask for patience and for everyone to follow instructions.

And tho these dragons can be killed with low numbers, they're no joke, either - lots that can go wrong including floor traps, aggroing more giants than we need, Vox casting a successful Complete Heal, etc.

Should probably make a new thread about it.

For those of you participating, this fight is about two things:

1. Not getting feared. That means that you should have MR in every slot that you can have it in. No amount of MR is too much MR for this fight. If you're perma-feared, you're more of a liability than an asset.

Jewelers can make MR bracelets, neck, and rings. That's kind of a baseline minimum so see if you can find those. Also see if you can get a "Greater Null" potion from a shaman. That's great additional MR.

2. Vox tries to complete heal. And there's really no reason to have to kill her several times (effectively) until she's OOM.

The way we counter her healing is to push from the SAME SIDE with fast weapons (no 2h weaps on Vox, please) to interrupt her casts. I'll explain this more day-of, but it's a thing. A key to victory.

I'm excited for this. Thanks to all who are making this possible. I think a lot of people will have a lot of fun with these two dragons.

6:00 a.m. US eastern on 4th Sept for Vox.

Inaugural thing. Was hoping someone (Filbus??) would make a thread. I'll make one this evening when I get a minute if it doesn't happen between now and then.

It would be really cool to see a basic guide for the events for raid newbs, including things like party composition, chat controls, tactics, gear, commands, roll rules. I for one know very little of raiding.

This is a great suggestion. It's often assumed players know how things operate on raids, when often times they don't. Simply explaining the steps and the process can often times turn a player you view as weak, into a real power house. Communication is key.
