Experimental! Thurs 09/02/2011 7:30pm UK

[Ayalinda]

Hi all, going to run a Draigoch this Thursday (as I don't have time for a full T1 orthanc this week).

I'm going to be running an experimental tactic, where we have 2 DPS groups rather than 1. With one group on the middle level and one on the lower level.

May or may not be more effective (or may end in total failure), but should make it a bit more interesting.

Burglars

Ottilia
Konti

Captains

Guthman

Champions

Thridalin
Tsu

Guardians

Culler (MT)

Hunters

Saffanor
Esgeth

Lore-masters

Minstrels

Aya
Winde

Rune-keepers

Wardens

[Miluineth]

Can offer some hunter DPS :) or whatever is needed.

What do you propose will be the benefit of doing it this way? Or is it just a case of doing it differently to make the fight more interesting.

*Edit* Can come, would prefer guard as only after the braclet

[Ayalinda]

Well there is the argument that it should be quicker as there is less downtime between paws say each has 100k health, our regular way is 100k -->short move-->100k -->long move-->100k -->short move-->100k, as opposed to 200k -->short move-->200k.

But its probably unlikely to work out that way. Mainly doing it because mixing things up is interesting (TM). Also a bit of healthy competition between the 2 DPS groups should be fun.

[Carranor]

Any (except Guard) ready if you need DPS prefer hunter

Only problem I see is the dmg will be greater over each group as it's distributed any light armours will take a large pounding due to this. Will be interesting to see if we can be quicker although the FMs will never let us go to fast.

[Awerth]

Can offer cappy or champ. I also thought about doing it this way but as carranor says its down to the fms.

[Mellal]

LRM or HNT available for action.;)

[Arjadel]

Can join with hunter, captain or minstrel.

[Loahere]

hmm experiment, sure I'm in :)

[Tsureknath]

Mighty lab RAT reporting for experimentation duty. Champ or captain I leave it to raid leaders' discretion

[Shalathra]

If I'm in I'm on

[Ayalinda]

The only way I think you may speed it up noticeably is by not doing the all the FM's, specifically the first 4 debuffing the paws. This would mean your cutting out 2 loops (minimum) of the first phases, but will increase the time to take the paws down, so I'm not sure how much (if any) you'll save overall.

However I think some loot is tied to the challenge of doing all 12 FM's so I have no plans to run it that way.

[Awerth]

You lose two chest from not doing hm if I remember correctly, but that may have changed.

[Ayalinda]

Roster up, only got 9/10 at the moment so space for a few more. Much of the DPS in interchangeable so if you'd prefer a different alt I have no objections. (we'll need 2 healers though due to being in 2 different groups)

[ReDGryffyN]

Not able to make this one sorry, good luck with the experiment though!

KOFACME

[Jeliasko]

I will come - champ preffered, cap would be available too :)

[Notiane]

Likely to be online, can step in if you have a spot to fill.

[Ayalinda]

Well the theory was good, we managed to get all 4 paws down in one go, alas it also seems to be incredibly buggy, as he bugged out 2 times very quickly
