Any idea how many there are on the market? I'm not at home to look. I ask because reasons.

[shuttlewrth]

It's only 2 rewards the entire track so you only get like maybe 4 the whole reward track :/

Mhmm reasons...that I'm going to look into for myself, log in, then report back to you

Update!  Only about 1800 left going for 2g 30s each.  Demand is huge as you might imagine but good luck with but orders

[Silvernis]

[shuttlewrth]

I bought some but not many as they are pricey and I'm poor.  I feel it's also possibly a risky investment since they may add the drop to something else soon since so much is needed by guilds and scribes I believe.

[opals]

well if you're looking for optimal dps for raids and we need 5 on the green circle for 0 damage....yet having everyone on the green circle takes away from dps then quick logic means those zerkers shouldn't be the ones you're looking at to get on the green circle so that instead they're focusing on dealing damage to the boss. however, since it seems like sanji is counting on thieves (his own, calen's and mine) and thieves are generally faster in movement....well...I don't know. either you'll want us to be the ones getting to the green circles since we're fast or you'll want us to focus on dps but it's one or the other, not both. edit: and I mention this because it's important. I don't enjoy running around like a headless chicken. if you plan on structuring this in terms of which builds/players/squad composition, then also have a structured attack plan.

[shuttlewrth]

We will need ranged peeps for the circles, fayt on support druid will be one.  As for the other 4, we need to know what all people want to run and go from there

[opals]

well yes, of course. I just think people often forget to have their plan of attack which leads to lots of people running around not knowing what they're doing. this translates to a higher chance of failure even if we have all the DPS in the world. people need to know what they should be doing, what they should focus on in priority. you know, like everyone has a role and so the squad isn't falling apart making it an unpleasant experience and making people quit halfway. especially for raids, but for other things too. I want us to succeed in our adventures and especially, have fun.

[shuttlewrth]

Same opals, which is why everyone is going to have a set role before any serious attempts can be made.  Also...

Guild site up!  Though kind of bare atm

When we tried before, keeping the boss inside the same third—or, uh, "pizza slice"—seemed to help a lot, since the green circles would only appear in that segment and we could reach them in time. If we do that, we should be able to get people into the circles while still keeping the boss more or less in range of our DPS.

[opals]

but.......what if we changed our guild name? as I might or might not be trying to convince sanji to do since too many WILD tags are now around.

SPAMMY JAMMY.

[shuttlewrth]

Yah...we have invested a good amount of resources into the hall now, no turning back

[Liric]

Honestly having a team of dedicated people run to the circle each time may work best - ranged DPS as well, so they're not losing much.

Are you running tonight? What kind of guild is it mostly?

[shuttlewrth]

LB arrow carts, err I mean rangers might be a thing.  Though I don't know how many of us are willing to go that route

We still have half the raid team to even show themselves as to who they are so best we can do is hold out planning to much till then.

[Liric]

If you lack people, I'd be willing to run unless I end up fighting Gordeval again tonight. I'm DPS reaper (full glass gear but laugh at the seeker damage because reaper).

[opals]

I don't think we have plans to run tonight but if you want to join in when we get a better set-up, we could definitely ping you. we are missing more than 1 person to form the raid squad for our guild and i think we are all trying to figure that out first before another attempt.

[calendb]

What sounds like a good strategy IMO is to have 1 tank, 3 condi damage, 4 zerker/DPSers, 1 zerker focused on pumping out might (could be an ele or revenant), and 1 person focused on healing the group but preferably still dealing lots of damage. Then we have 1 person (the tank) kiting the boss, 5 people including the healer using ranged and going to the circles, and the rest just focused on DPS with melee weapons for higher damage and ignoring the circles.

[Liric]

Yes, a PS warrior is valuable for might stacking; the group I was fighting Gordreval with had one in the squad.

It's very important that everyone avoid the teleport attacks though as they can shift people out of the circle and costs DPS overall.

First phase you can just pull him to the pillar to be stationary, but after that you need three teams for the colored pillar spawns.
