When you do Assault and Battery does the healer have to go to Mogo? I ran it the other day and Sinestro says to split up into two teams of four. Most people got onto the teleporter to Mogo so I decided to go to Metropolis. A couple people got really mad because they said that the healer is supposed to go to Mogo.
Its the way people play. Everyone usually goes to mogo/ranx while ghe tank goes to metro. That way team Mogo takes out the adds n bosses while the tank gets the containers. Obv this isnt the way the game is supposed to be ran but yea
the playerbase learned how to exploit the raid so they dont have to split up thats why everybody but the tank goes 1 way
If I hadn't gone to Metropolis they would have never gotten past Kilowog so I have no idea why they were mad.
Usually doing that will alienate you from the rest of the group since people have turned an exploit into the normal way to play. Your best bet unfortunately is to tag along or risk removal. It's just one of those gamer things.
Groups tend to expect you'll all do Mogo together first and then the whole group comes to Metro for just the Kilowog fight.
Originally, the raid is meant to split into two teams of tank, heal troll and dps. Since most groups replace several support roles with dps that doesn't work. What the healer is supposed to do is a matter of perspective. In most groups that I was with the tank went to Metropolis alone or with one dps...
Each group is different and each faction seems to do it differently as well. As Lady said, EUPC villains tend to send one tank alone to Metro to finish collecting the things and then wait for at least one DPS to finish the boss fast. From some heroes I know that they tend to do it different. But many ways lead to the solution. Best is to ask in group to make sure you don't have to hop from Mogo to Metro or the other way around. Asking will take less than a minute and your group is alive
The metropolis fight doesn't lock you out of it - it's in an open area, so if you die you can fly back in. It's less essential to have a healer there as so long as one person is alive, the boss won't reset. It just becomes a battle of attrition. The mogo fight though locks you out. If people die they can't come back in. There is also more unavoidable damage in the mogo fight that it is helpful to have a healer for. I don't think I've seen anyone do the mogo fight without a healer, but our standard tactic is to do the metro fight without one.
It's just the way most groups run it. Not saying it's right or wrong but generally everyone but the tank goes to mogo, he gathers the mist, then when everyone is done at mogo, they go to metro and wreck kilowog.
