23 min run T6 alert day 1

I prefer tank, 2 dps, healer for the new alert. Sorry trolls.

Nice work on this OP.

Look at it this way - Imagine playing tennis or volleyball, but actually getting to hit the ball back-n-forth for a bit before scoring a point. ALL of the other content in this game is serve/point. It's now little more than chasing DPS all over the place. This content gives room ans space to practice WM combos w/o worry of a wipe. It allows people to experiment w/ how their powerset, WM and chosen weapon interracts.

And... it gives a little bit of something for each role... if they choose to play that way.
Tanks - multiple groups of mobs that can be organized/manipulated
DPS - Watching yellow/white numbers stream like crazy
Controllers - Things to CC... if you like that kinda thing
Healers - NPCs to heal.

For healers (my most experience), those NPCs all have very little health to start with. If we keep them alive, they can probably contribue more to the battle than we can (damage). So... get your ally heals on your belt and go crazy.

FINALLY!!!

Someone has said "Troll, you're not needed." LMAO

After a bazillion posts about how unnecessary tank are... you made my morning.

I mean I do love trolls, but in the new alert I don't feel there is enough CC or debuffing to be more beneficial than a dps or tank.

I have heard of faster runs done than the ones I have with 2 dps, troll, tank. It all depends on the group. My league leader did almost 4 million damage using just over 17k power in 35 mins...no troll needed there.

I tanked it wednesday and I did plenty of damage. I specced into some damage innates, put two pieces of dps gear, and put up some good number in tank stance. Granted we didn't finish in 23 minutes but we had fun and got loot. Just because you run something a certain way doesn't mean everyone has to follow. Play your way I'll play mine

The bosses have too much health :/

It turns the alert pretty boring.

You can run nexus in lower time with more challenge and fun.

Using a tank, the alert is just a matter of patience... slowly killing the bosses

I love that the easiness of this alert really does give us a ton of game play options. Check out the youtube link in my sig. Right now, I only have 2 battle healings w/o relying on WM combos. Got video of nothing but combos coming very soon. I love that there's a little something for each role to do... if they want to.

ignore me I should refresh before posting

As serious as cancer.

If the dps use WM they can use under 25k power a piece and deal a minimum of 5 million damage combined in 30 mins easy.

Quite literally, JR didn't use a soda until the last boss and never bottomed on power without a troll.

Edit: What messes up dps is when they get interrupted due to getting aggro - hence a tank or extreme CC does wonders. I could see 2 dps, troll, heal work well with the troll only using debuffs and CC, no pot or dumps.

My league has been doing troll, tank, 2 dps. We average 30 mins a run with maybe 1 wipe a run. I just can't stand solo dps in here, my fingers are burning after 50 mins of nonstop burning.

Not surprised in the slightest. There's a reason people were talking about 1-1-1-5 raids already. It was pretty clear how little power was needed from WM when Kaiser posted a video of him doing 30:1 ratios.

So true lol
I'm a battle troll and can easily put out 2 mil in damage so I kinda makes up for the tank being there, still a slow run tho.

Wow 30:1 I have some work to do.

We ran the alert than ran Strike, the bosses in strike died fast than the t6 adds lol

excellent i may need to try this then

If anyone is interested in seeing the Last fight

We just finished it in 23 minutes as well, with a tank, 2 dps and a troll That's our preferred set up. I've done the 2 dps/heal/troll and I abolutley hate it. I love running w/ a tank I'd much rather lose the healer, although the always ever constant is 2 dps. That's a must. Spending an hour in the alert is no bueno.

Might try the no troller, that might be pretty interesting

Anyone tried Hybrid Tank, Hybrid Celest Healer, Hybrid Troll, and a DPS yet?

Thinking just enough Dom to control things on tank/troll, and full DPS on the celest.

I've battle healed it several times now. I put out about 20-25% of what the DPS puts out... if they're great. If they're good, I can get closer to 1/3rd of their output.

My most recent little clip, showing the combos timed in between powers, was born out of me wondering what 300+ resto in the trees was going to do for me that I don't already have. Nothing. So, I took my prec-based battle healer spec and gave it a full healer quadruple HoT loadout (AcB, CS, WotPcCS, DL) and gave it a go. Had about 4700 resto and around 1k prec, IIRC. Did 784K in damage. The final battle of that clip may make it into my "Heal the NPCs!!!" campaign.

Of course, that new spec (and my desire to experiment more) has lead me to use my 4th armory. 1 for DPS and 3 for healing!!!

My boy ACE 1 in 5v5 chat beasting people lol
