[Grimdoin]

*keeps an eye out for future raids*

Fri/Sat are the worst days of the week for me to raid :(

[Tiermond]

Can do Fri & Sat, 3 eves on the trot of avoiding looking after baby would be pushing my luck too far to even contemplate Sunday as well.
Preferably Tiermond 145 rad, can bring Tiermyn 115 rad if required.

[ReDGryffyN]

Unlike Grim Fri/Sat are the BEST days for me to raid!! :D

I would like ot sign up for Fri/Sat, but only provisional for Sunday, I dont mind the class you pick

ReD

KOFACME

[Skiporin]

I would love to bring along the Champ.

OK for Fri, Sat & Sun :D

[Eleufalion]

I might come with my hunter on friday and sunday

[Lotty]

Friday I'm working but stick me down for Sat and Sun (might be 15 mins late on the sunday but you never know what the dinner might be, spuds took a little longer than expected yesterday)

RK & CPT always available, might have a LM ready aswell hopefully, Rad up-to-date till the new content (not long now)

[Raedwulf]

Fri/Sat are the worst days of the week for me to raid :(

No preference which char.

[Grimdoin]

{makes plans for the new upcoming raids; grins evilly! :evil:}

That's cool, whatever rocks your boat man... just make sure to turn off the light. ;)

[Raedwulf]

Off? You mean you *can't* see in the dark? Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear... :P :twisted:

[Irulaniel]

Hi again,
Im available all days :)

Irulaniel, Lm

[Aseeth]

3 days in a row is pushing it with my better half! Occasional i can commit to 3 days in a row but that requires serious bribes. Signing up for Fri- & Sunday
CHM prefferred.

[BSili IronMight]

I might come with my hunter on friday and sunday
I can't process 'mights' :P Need you to be more definate with the signup.. eg. So you intend on coming Friday & Sunday as long as nothing else pops up and changes your plans?

[Nedhlam]

/signing for all three days, no pref char

[Eleufalion]

yeah by might I implied "in the case you need me", Since I'm the newcomer here I thought it would have been polite :D
anyway
YARR bring it on I'll be there friday and sunday ready to rock civilization!! ;)

[Haleabor]

I am available (although potentially with a slightly sub par connection) on Friday 25th but only until 22:00 GMT (maybe 23:00)....

Suggest therefore that I'd make a good reserve :P

Hal... signature up to date

[skelsamu]

fri still uncertain, sat. oke cappie avail.

[Notiane]

I'll be around on friday, the other nights are highly unlikely.

[BSili IronMight]

Thanks for the signups so far.. we still need signups for all days although we seem to have reached at least 10 for each day.. so if worst comes to worst we'll pick some up through RRU channel (hopefully). So signup to be considered for this raid and be more guarenteed of a place than hanging round in RRU channel :P

[Boycie]

Available all 3 days, Can bring Capt, Minstrel or Rk. you pick :P

i would perfer to be on Capt when we get to the Lt fight tho, need to get the deed for HM done..

[BSili IronMight]

Ok.. put the Provisional list up for Friday (Today) Only at the moment (Friday in RED)... it's provisional in case anyone pulls out etc. Or I could change my mind on class balance :P I'd been pondering it for a while as is :D But decided 2 MNS and 1 RK and because of that.. it was either 1 CPT and 2 GRD's or 2 CPTs 1 GRD, choices choices :P. Those in italics are for backup on Friday (today).

Saturday and Sunday Lists are likely to be different so always check the list during any raid period, just because you couldn't come the first day or because you wern't picked for the first day doesn't mean you won't be picked at all...

Durchest >>
Durchest is going to be slightly different today.. because of group make up and because of wanting those in front of Durchest to at least build up to -70% before it switches to main tank. I was thinking of putting our CHMP and his CPT in front of Durchest at start.. CHMP goes hell for leather (should be easier to build up more aggro than a CPT as we usually went 2 CPT's in front) and our BRG Provokes on to CHMP all the time (so our CHMP at this stage will be main aggro).... at -50% debuff our CHMP pulls aggro from his MNS with his Ire skill and keeps it as no need to dump to anyone else. What all this is trying to achieve is to get the CHMP & CPT to -70% until aggro switches to the GRD. This gives it a greater chance of the -threat debuff to behave. Of course anyone who can Buff our CHMP for more damage etc.. should do it during this first crucial stage of the fight, CPT sticks crit buff on CHMP, BRG uses revealing weakness, 1 CPT +5% incoming damage mark other CPT uses the one that returns morale.. could even Oathbreakers at start to give the CHMP huge boost. I havn't mentioned everything as this is to give you an idea on what were looking to do so every class can probably help our CHMP at this stage, check your skills :D. (BTW don't think i'm rude with stating class instead of names, was thinking of tranfering this to tactics thread in future if it goes well :P)

When the debuff has settled and GRD is in front of Durchest, our CHMP can stop hitting Durch. While we take down the Guards.

This leaves 1 CPT & 1 BRG to look after the Guards along with our ranged DPS. This means all Melee classes need Innocence and anything else that boosts the reduction of melee damage also those in front of Durchest need to slot at least Tolerance and any other -incoming tactical damage traits and pocket items etc for the Lightening move etc.. Also highest Radiance HNT needs to boost your melee defence as much as possible as when we get a Sword Guard you'll have to stand in front with them.

Of course this could be risky but i'm basing this across multiple goes that if we do only have aggro switching when the two in front are on -70% threat debuff.. every time that I remember that has meant the aggro stays on the GRD without the debuff being an issue. As long as those in front of Durchest hold hands and stay still in the corner it should be fine (anyone sense i've jinxed it? :P).

I'll put some Twins stuff up later on.

[Haleabor]

The way I read it...it looks like I'm your only guarenteed reserve!!

So I confirm I'll be online.... I'm happy to start and drop out if someone is running late.... and I have 4 toons available not just the 2 that you've put down....:P

Hal x

[skelsamu]

im around if needed tonight.

[BSili IronMight]

Well <insert random swearing here> I couldn't get online (internet has been sort of dodgy over past few days with high ping spikes).. i'm hoping either Skels or Hale as reserve filled in cause your both RL's.. was supposed to post info on twins fight also... grr dissapointed...

[Haleabor]

I invited and cleared the first two mobs,... however my dodgy connection meant that I couldn't get TS working... luckily Skel then came online and took over the group and leadership... and I dropped.... not sure what happened after that

[ReDGryffyN]

With Skels help and a good team we got Durchy HM done and all was good!!

Thanks for the boots!!

ReD

KOFACME

[BSili IronMight]

Ok big thanks then.. to Haleabor for getting it going.. shame about your issues :(.. and thanks to Skels for then taking over and leading the team to Durchest HM victory 8-)

On the update front i've updated the Bonus Roll List and have now updated this Signup thread with those that are chosen to go along on Saturday (Today) in the provisional list. We had 11 signups for today so we are still in need for another signup.. doesn't matter what Class just signup if you fancy it and we can see what we can do :D We also have space on Sunday so signup there too :P

If we don't get anyone signing up then no need to fear as we have 11 for Saturday so we can search through RRU channel to get 1 more for the fun.

Also don't get confused with the signup list.. Bold Red and Bold Green (Frodo Baggins) means you were chosen in the raid for Friday & are chosen for Saturday. Bold Green (Gandalf) means your currently chosen for Saturday. Bold Black (Gimli) means currently chosen for all 3 Days.. and so on :D The List may change in terms of Alts depending on who signups up for last spot etc..

Currently we have one Minstrel which will mean an RK will need to trait for healing. We also currently have 1 Lore-master (being used to 2 recently), Irulaniel will need to specifically come along Ancient Master Traited.

I'll post over Twins tactics for today later on.. basically same as last week so if you look at last weeks signup thread and find the twins tactics to refresh or familiarise yourself, also look to the RRU Rough Guide to BG as I put information there also for the Twins. (Need to tidy it all up and plonk into one place.. will hopefully do that soon :D)

[Nedhlam]

I have to pull out of Sunday due kinship event, but I am still available for Saturday

[BSili IronMight]

Ok Nedhlam thanks for update :) Have fun in your kin event...

Ok last week I started on some of the guide for the Twins fight, if everyone can have a look at The RRU Rough Guide to Barad Guldur (http://www.raidsrus.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1314) Comment #5. This is where i'll note down some things for BG and currently the Twins for now. Currently it has some overall thoughts and tactics... and some specific items for Burglar, Champions and Guardians to look though. So please have a look :) Also further to this Notiane has placed some advice in the Barad Guldur Discussion thread (http://www.raidsrus.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1332) for Lore-masters.

If you want to add anything don't do it there.. you'll need to write your thoughts in the Barad Guldur Discussion thread (http://www.raidsrus.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1332). Thanks.. :)

----------------------------------------------------

Main Tactic for defeating Twins >>>

The idea of this variation is to minimise the amount of time everyone has to suffer with both sets of eyes as well as the amount of time having to suffer with the dread increase. So this tactic should be better for those with less radiance as we should suffer less resists for a longer period (till Fire Boss goes past 230k).

1. Bring both bosses to ~300K (Eyes start at 230K)
2a. Steadily DPS Shadow down to 230k, once eyes appear we are switching to total DPS mode, use all available skills etc that increase the damage given to the Shadow Boss as well as the usual things that are keeping us alive (corruption removal, debuffs etc.), important to not go silly and start dying but also important to DPS hard. So as example we have Captains rotating the use of oathbreakers, Burglar using counter defence etc.. think of what you can do to increase the damage on the boss for everyone and yourself.
2b. During that time our Fire Melee group is steadily doing their thing DPS'ing Fire making sure to get aggro when they should but not to excessively damage if possible past 230k (when eyes start) till Shadow is close to 50k.
3. DPS main focus is on the Shadow till down to 50K.
4a. Switch DPS focus to the Fire and DPS to 20k, as before with all things you can do to increase everyones damage and your own while doing the things that are keeping us alive (corruption removal, debuffs etc.)
4b. During this time Shadow Tank is steadily doing their DPS making sure to wait at 10k if reached first.. till DPS has caught up to 10k on the Fire.
5. DPS Fire & Shadow down to 10k then slow down splitting damage on both again.
6. Kill either Shadow or Fire first followed up with swift killing of the 2nd.
7. Rejoice in the Hard Mode twins victory :) Beware the after fight death! ;)

Note:
*It'll need constant watching during the fight so things may change during but this is the basic outline of what we are trying to do. It's important to do whats asked during this stage as we only have 10 seconds to play with between their defeats.
*It's important that the one we arn't focusing on at the time.. has stuff on it that helps people in other ways.. like anything to do with healing them and taking less damage. I think also to be safe Captains can keep the Mark that heals attackers all the way through, i'm sure with this type of focused DPS switching that we wont miss the incoming damage mark too badly.

[Eleufalion]

I have to pull out of Sunday due kinship event

The same goes for me I'm afraid :( won't be there either on sunday for the same reason :roll:

[Notiane]

A definite no go for me tonight (saterday) Probably will be there sunday, but will have to stop at 22:00 again.

[mali]

if you are still short on ppl, i can join with mali or garrgh tonight (sorry for short notice, wasn´t sure till now if i´d have time). but tomorrow i´m in a kin run.

[BSili IronMight]

Ok thanks for the updates everyone.. and Mali you'll definately be in then as Garrgh 2nd Minstrel :) Thanks..

[BSili IronMight]

Grats to the team for Twins Hard Mode victory :lol:.. first one for around a month and a bit.. \O/

Followed the same pattern as previous goes.. with improvement on each of the 3 goes till we won :D

Grats all :D

After quick check and updating availability it seems like we only have 8 for Sunday as it stands now.. so we need more to signup to come along for some Lt. fun :D So don't be shy and signup :) Regardless of if we get anymore or not I want to try and fill up through the RRU channel on the night if needs be as it'd be a shame to not get a look see at the Lt. :D

EDIT: Bonus Roll List is now updated (so please check and report back to me if any issues), since we only have 8 at the moment i'll refrain from doing a Sunday Provisional List in case we get few more signups.. I'll look to do the Provisional List after the Football :P So if you signed up as available for Sunday your definately in :D It's just what class we'll need etc. depending on who else we can get. So keep an eye on this space and ask in RRU channel if your in there on Sunday to see if anyones interested in signing up to help out.

[Haleabor]

Congratulations on the Twins HM kill .... well done

[ReDGryffyN]

:'( Got to confirm my probably not to definitely not!

Would have been fabulous to see the Lt (Although the sucide run last night was close!!), another time I hope.

Wanted to thank a great team led by Bsili (& thanks also to Skels) to get both HM for Durchest and the Twins, felt really good to be a part of that.

Hope you get enough for tonite, would be shame to miss this great chance!

All the best to you all and good luck

KOFACME

[mali]

very short notice again. our kin run was just cancelled cos of lack of corruption removal. so ecg and me would gladly jump in if you still have spots for us. ecg on champ (145 rad) and me as usual, hunter or minstrel

[BSili IronMight]

Ok i've done the list so far.. but you may need to bring another Character depending who we get in to fill spots.. If you have any Bold Blue in your name that means your in Sunday.. if your name is Bold Black then your in Sunday also...

Just to confirm that means Boycie (CPT), Aseeth (CPT), Skiporin (CHMP), BSili (GRD), Irulaniel (LM), Notiane (LM), Lotty as Thraxi (RK), Feor as Ruar (RK).

Noticed Mali's post.. thanks Mali and Ecg.. erm you'll be added to my personal list but won't fiddle with this list at moment.. going on game shortly to try and get some more people before 8pm start.

[BSili IronMight]

Some things that I think will help on the Lt. Fight (I hope :D) for everyone to please follow (In order for us to have the best possible chance at being more successful in BG this help shouldn't be ignored or deemed not needed.. It will help and I need to know the effort i'm putting into this kind of stuff is being well received. Trust the info given and if its clearly wrong or someone thinks of an alternate then join in discussions (as long as its not from outside RRU and is from your experience within RRU raiding :)) I just spent hours on this :P) >>

* Slotting Fidelity will help everyone in the raid as everyone will get hit with Shadow damage throughout the fight.. 'Shadow's Touch' will make sure of that :P. Lore-masters use your Raven for reducing Shadow Damage.
* Using Armour that helps lessen Shadow damage is also useful as long as it doesn't affect your Radiance.
* Melees (GRD, CHMP, BRG, CPT) should make sure to slot at least Innocence and Tolerance, you are likely to be taking both Melee and Tactical damage in the 3rd Gauntlet especially but also in the Lt. fight. It all depends on the group make up.
* All others memebrs of the raid should slot Tolerance and any other Tactical reduction traits they can fit in as this will help greatly in the 3rd Gauntlet and Lt. (presuming 'Shadow's Touch' and the Purple Eye aura is classed as Tactical damage).
* Our Hunter may also need to slot Innocence depending on group make up for the 3rd Gauntlet, as you may be needed to take a Swords Cleaves.
* I'm also recomending that everyone slot in the biggest Fear resist virtue at least (more if can fit it in your virtues) Confidence I believe it is, this should help with resisting 'Shadow's Touch' which does 471 - 523 Shadow damage every 3 seconds while its active. Even with Corruptions on the ball this would mean taking 4-5 pips each time its active and if one or two of those can be resisted each time then its a boon. Whenever this appears i'm recomending that Captain's Muster Courage to help. Also Fear Resist soup is what we all want to eat before the fight starts.
* Whenever 'Corrupting Shadows' is active.. everyone should switch to auto attack only, this is because power cost is increased mainly but it also increases Skill Inductions and reduces Tactical Damage.. so other reasons if those affect you to not do too much while its active. Lore-masters could take the time here to replenish their own power pool and to feed the Healers, also others who can heal need to assist more so our main Healers don't have to power heal. You can notice that 'Corrupting Shadows' is active by a Yellow square debuff icon under your power bar.
* Whenever 'Draining Shadows' is active ('Shadow's Touch' apears when this is up).. which won't be for long.. Healers need to be aware that at this point group healing will be needed as everyone will be taking Shadow Damage from 'Shadow's Touch'. This also affects everyones Run Speed and Melee Damage, but because 'Shadow's Touch' is linked with this and we need everyone to be able to run at points it will be removed as soon as possible. As already mentioned slotting Confidence and eating Fear soup along with Captains Mustering Courage when this is active will greatly help the group. You can notice that 'Draining Shadows' is active by a Red square debuff icon under your power bar.
* Whenever 'Slowing Shadows' is active Healers need to be aware that this affects incoming healing by reducing it, when this is up the Tank or Tank/s will need more healing than normal so everyone who can heal should be chipping in if required. Also this affects Attack Duration and Ranged Damage, due to both of those increasing i'd say Hunter can continue close to normal but maybe also throw in a few auto attacks (as skills take longer) and Healers will need to heal in advance as your duration will be increased. You can notice that 'Slowing Shadows' is active by a Blue square debuff icon under your power bar.

*Green/Yellow Eye - If you get a green eye the Beast will hunt you!, you need to run around in a circle making sure to not let the beastie catch you. If its a Healer we need an RK (if we have one and other Classes who can heal to be on the ball) and Switch to healing to cover healing duties while our Minstrel friend runs as fast as possible. If its the tank it's not too bad, 2nd Tank should take over aggro to keep Lt. in place where possible.. if 2nd Tank not available then Champion can taunt and try and keep the Lt. still till our Tank comes running back in around 30secs time, this may lead to Tank being chased by both Beast and Lt. but this should be ok as it happened when we did it first time, just means anyone who can heal needs to help and chip in etc. Also all damage on the Lt. should stop in this scenario.. there is a possible danger of pulling aggro while the Tank obviously can't aggro during this period.. so be sensible.. if the Tank is running around don't hit the Lt. with any damage :P
*Purple/Red Eye - If you get this you need to stand 2 big squares away from everyone else, this in effect gives you the lurgy but its up to you to move away from everyone else if possible. If we get good position for the Lt. fight this would mean either moving North from the group towards North Wall or South from Group towards the South Wall.. this will mean your out of the way of whoever gets the Green eye and away from the group and the tanks. If one of the Tanks gets it, the two tanks should back off 2 squares from each other, and if anyone is currently in melee with the Lt. they should back of to the main group until the Purple eye has gone. If someone has a running fear and a Purple eye everyone needs to get away from this person.

* Corruption Removal Cycle - On the night I will make up a corruption cycle group who will sort out corruptions on the Lt. Due to the Guardian's helpful 10sec delay on corruption removal the Guardian will always be first choice on both 'Slowing & Choking Shadows' because if that resists we still have few secs to get someones immediate corruption removal on the Lt, so we will have a backup or two for Corruption resists here. 'Draining Shadows' will always be taken off asap cause we can't afford it to increase in size this will be up to someone chosen on the night with a backup if resisted. It is important that noone use their corruption removal skill unless specifically asked for, so need everyone to be very careful not to accidently use it otherwise this will go insane :P

Read the BG Discussion - Part II Guide (http://www.raidsrus.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2463) for more insight into the encounter.

[BSili IronMight]

Well done everyone on the night... we were able to go ahead but was 25mins past starting time due to picking up extras and waiting for either an afk backup or a late arrival.. late arrival made it first on that spot :P

Thanks to Skiporin who was on earlier and managed to ask in the RRU channel and let people know that we would have spaces on the night.. I believe that brought Thrandul and Eleufalion (who's RP event finished earlier) along to the party. Thanks also to Mali and Ecg for filling in even at late notice (it all counts ;P) and also thanks to Nedhlam for coming (who was just like Eleufalion with same RP event finishing earlier), also thanks to Tilla who also offered but unfortunatly was afk when we needed last spot filling (had to give priority to those who Skiporin got involved from earlier and those who signed up in the thread). Think that covered who went will update main post after this post. Oh and thanks to Boustro who filled in at a very late hour when Thraxi (Lotty) had to go for our last attempt before we called it.

Think we managed a good few goes the best one we got the Lt. down to 350ish K.. this was massive progress and was clear everyone was getting more used to the eyes and what to do in each situation. And tbh 350ishK is very close to doing the whole thing as its just the same thing till the Lt. is defeated.

Also special mention on the 3 Guards prior to the Lt. platform that is only the 2nd go I can remember where we took on all 3 Guards head on with no one dying.. that is really good work. Last week think we had one person become incapacitated :P

I hope the little group demo before we started the Lt. fight was worthwhile.. I believe it was.. so that everyone got a feel on how we are planning to cope with the eyes and what to do in each situation that arises.

As already said i'll update the main post shortly and i'll also be posting a Wednesday Lt. run again just like last week.. so if you fancy being part of the first group to do Lt. Hard Mode then signup :) I'll stick the signup earlier than what we have been doing so we get a bit more time so come fully stocked with what you need. I'll also stick up the next weeks raid which will be a Thur, Sat & Sun starting at 7:00pm this time around, idea is we can get first two bosses done on Thursday in HM and have the weekend for Lt. fun (but of course this isn't guarenteed but would be the ideal :D)

Once again thanks to everyone for coming along and hope you had fun :)
