    I can't help it when people start trolling me I can't help but respond! I don't want trolls to be lonely.

    I Would not complain about T3 being hard. There should be something reserved for those that are at the peak of their game.

    What/where is "Kizant's parser" - My google fu is not finding it anywhere.
  5. Yinla Ye Ol' Dragon

    We will find out on Tuesday.

    Will be interesting to see how these changes affect us later today. TOFS1 still gives us a bit of trouble but 2 and 3 went down easily. Waiting to see what has been added to TOFS3 that may cause us problems, nothing too bad I hope.

    In the "down season" we run COP4 raids in Plane of War, to make sure our raid force has enough COP4 clickies, then we designate a person to run that.
    Same for rez sticks, twin cast clickies, venenium/shield of immaculate light.
    We put in work to make sure people have the tools at their disposal.

    Best thing I have read in this entire post.

    If your raid force is struggling , and u want to get better , why aren't you doing the things that will help your whole raid force. All of the " Down Season Stuff " listed above is low level content that even a family guild can farm for there raid force. Not listed are all the "Other " rank 4 clickies that you can get , Circle of Mana ect .. Rezz stick , I mean come on if your a RAIDING druid or shaman and you don't have one , your killing your guild. Our guild REQUIRES some of these tools before we even accept your app. ( were not even a top 5 guild ! )

    This content isn't hard , here's why I say this :

    Total 47 Guilds Heart of Frozen Shadow Till Death Do Us Part Tserrina Syl'Tor
    25 20 20

    Has there even been in the History of EQ , where SO many guilds have won this many events at the start of an expansion ? Ever ? 20 guilds ? ( Maybe there has been I didn't do that much research ) This is a pretty good showing for a lot of the lessor guilds ! A lot of classes now more then ever have to work together as a team to enhance each others skills and abilities.

    Cloud , thanks for really good laughs and funny things you have posted here !

    PS , were recruiting , bards , Feel free to hit up Robnie or Thebomb , between the two of them they can set u on the path to humility and wisdom. ( I will bet you a Krono Cloud your not out parsing our raid dpsers as a bard , put in an app and come take my Krono and teach me a lesson :p )

    PSS , if your tired of being in a struggling guild , were always looking for great players , with 70% or better RA , good AA counts and decent augs. Bring your thick skin , be ready to be called out and do your job. ( That's right flipping this drama into recruiting :oops: )

    Yes. He was suffering the same fate. Next year I would heartily recommend you get into game, rename to something ELSE, and leave it that way, if you both do that you wont' be colliding all the time. One year I had to resort to using "Superade" for this reason.
  9. Drakang Augur

    We got it down. Just took the best run at it we have to date killed it as we were wiping. The mobs resisting spells is just more added pain.

    It appears that this stems from Allayna's original comment early in this thread that contained:

    We encourage using Kizant's parser for DPS, to know what put's you at 100% crit rate.

    We have a slight technical error on the wording of course, but I'm fairly certain Allayna was referring to the adps tool that Kizant has blessed us with.

    His other blessing, is something I've not seen him publicly share. And he's quite humble about it, even though it is really great.

    TOFS1

    Unslowable, very spell resistant, quading for 100K...seems a bit of an overtune.
  13. enclee Augur

    We have some really great and incredible people in this community. Thanks to those that do the extra stuff out of game that makes the in-game experience more accessible to the rest of us. I hope they get some in-game recognition, too.

    Honestly just rollback the whole set of ToFS changes. You missed your window for arbitrarily making it "harder" and added bugs in the process.
  18. Ravanta Suffer Augur

    Honestly, I think I agree.
