BDA to Phinigel

[Daldaen]

Raided some Uqua, Inkt'uta and Tacvi last night. Acquired some pixels. Parses over 1k DPS on the short burn fight Shaldn Boc. Druids so powerful $$$. Love GoD. OoW gonna be even better with Epic 1.5/2.0s and CoA Aug runs.

Not really a GoD fan. The expansion seems overly hard just to be a dick and super gimmicky unnecessarily.

Its very easy if people pay attention. Hardest part in the whole expansion is Tacvi trash.

im pretty jealous of you bros who are getting to experience mpg trials and anguish for the first time in a few months. as maligned as post-PoP eq is around here, OoW was a top tier raid expansion.

I'm a big fan. It gives a few different flavors of raids.

Ikkinz is a pay attention to the text and figure shit out (you can skip the later by going to allakhazam).

Uqua is a "don't bring any idiots with you, or they wipe you". I love weakest link raids, let's you trim the fat and kick out awful people.

Inkt'uta is a little "don't bring the idiots" but mostly just some very weird events. Makes you have to change strategies especially for Stonemites and Cursecallers. Both of those events can be done with your standard tank and spank strategy, splitting up raid or you can get more clever and do it much safer/cleaner. Like stonemites 4 baller monks/SKs/Bards can do the event and save you splitting up into crews and clearing in. Cursecallers clever use of taunt or pets can trivialize certain aspects. Same with Noqufiel.

Txevu... mostly everything's a fairly boring tank/spank except Ukun Bloodfeaster and ZunMuram Tkarish Zyk. I guess the Runt was a cool event to start when you get to select a champion. Was way different when you weren't 100% flush in Time gear though. The Ukun event is incredible, requires actual CC Coordination. If you fail at that you wipe horribly. ZunMuram is easily the hardest event in the expansion and the most unique. Has a little bit of everything that gets everyone in the raid engaged in some capacity.

Tacvi... The north snake is definitely hardest event, but most except Yihst Vor and Shaldn Boc are interesting events. Superb use of trash. I favor Tacvi trash to any other style of trash, just a few and they actually make you pay attention. Tunat is sort of a let down of an event you can just DPS faceroll through, but Balance Zun, Racecar, South and North snake make up for it.

11 guilds have defeated Tacvi, 17 guilds have entered Txevu, 19 guilds have enters Qvic (defeating Uqua and Ikkinz 4).

Starting to get into expansions that begin to separate the tiers of guilds. OoW and DoN people will equalize back in and then in DoDH you should see another big drop off as guilds fail to do Sendaii, Draygun, Hatchet, Performer and Mayong. Love the more complex events in these later expansions.

Feels good to raid on a server with 20~ relevant guilds.

Confirmed GoD working as intended kicking BDA ase.

A sign Agnarr is classic?

.

The stonemite event we just sent in rogues to clear the traps and ran the whole raid in cleared everything dropped off an FD class or a rogue at each spot cleared to the loot room and had them all say phrase. For the cursecallers one of our clerics nuked one of those DT mobs and it died. So next time we're gonna try having our clerics nuke the DT mobs while we kill the 6 cursecallers.
