Watched the Nag kill, is classic raiding just cheese?

[Mirakk82]

Hey, real talk though.

Anyone know what program that guy had running for cooldowns? (Top right corner)

And bonus question for clarification. I thought 3rd party program use was a nono on this server. What's the deal with this?

its called GINA and apparently devs cant do anything to stop it because it reads logs and funnels the info into the UI

they would have to do something to logs to prevent it

It is strictly forbidden to use any knowledge obtained about the game during the last 20 years as it may upset people that have not yet had enough time to master the complex mechanics of EQ.

Doing anything smarter or more efficient than back on live will be deemed #unclassic and any involving party will be permanently banned as the filthy dirty cheater they are.

Bindrushing is very classic and was honestly a part of most early dragon raids.

I don't mind cheese as long as it's matured [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If your guild was weak sauce. We never did that, even in PUG raids. As someone said before, guides didn't allow it. But by some posts, clearly not every server followed the same rules.

While I agree soulfires should be either must or can equip to click, only 1 click of it was used in the Naggy fight. The cheese came from spamming zerg clerics that were bound nearby. But, given that its 6 50's + a handful of 30's in rags and used bronze, its pretty good.

I remember the first time naggy and vox were duo'd. It was a sad day.

This. There is a fine bloomy rind on this cheese.

I Duoed Naggy by clearing the fire giants with my 70 berserker, then switching to my 52 Erudite Sk loaded with Dwerium jewellery supported by friend's froglok wizard that shrouded down to lvl 50 kobold cleric shroud.

EQ got pretty whacky as it expanded.

I was a cleric on the Nag kill.

I ran in twice to try and die to get mana. The first time was pointless because he was AoEing so infrequently I ended up running back to just med.

The second time, right after I died, we killed him, so I didn't even need to do it.

Those who think we won because we were chain-sac'ing healers are off their rocker. We actually had some issues with overhealing, and it was like our 2nd attempt, so we could have tightened it up even more if we wanted to. Sac'ing healers was a strategy we decided to use to finish off that attempt, but was in no-way how we accomplished it.

As far as having healers out of LoS... uh, that's just normal EQ raid positioning.

Not sure what else was "cheese".

I've done more Naggys than I can count. The only "cheese" I saw was having a guild full of a bunch of experienced raiders who didn't panic, listened to instructions, and helped each other out to accomplish a server first.
