We killed findle, guys :woop:. Minotaur promptly shredded us though. Our dps on brownie was so awful, like 200k total, it makes no sense.

Probably just gonna go balance route. Our melee have a hard time burning findle, I think we will melee burn mino then get back on findle/executioners when burns come down.

That strategy all depends on how well people can pay attention to emotes and know how to make (and respond to) audio triggers. One fireball from Findlewill will wipe most raids.

Anyone having problems with right-clicks being interpreted as double right-clicks since the patch? For example, I right-click a tradeskill container, and the tradeskill window flashes quickly and closes. Same when inspecting vendor items. Maybe it's my mouse...

Has anyone else noticed that immediately after killing a mob that their pet automatically goes into /pet hold mode? I wonder if it's a MQ2 script or some bug with the client?

I've been moving for the past few days so I haven't been on for a few days, but I'm gonna try to push to hit 97 tonight. It's funny that I still get giddy when I get a new pet spell.

If you can get someone to request it, the Erudin's Burning raid has some torches that lock your HPs to 50% while you're in the instance. So you can just equip the torch and autofire bind wound overnight.

Half of cotf raids seem ridiculously straight forward. Pretty much walk in and tank poo poo and kill it. Compare to like BG2 with massive setup time (for us) and choke points.

I hope we can get these down soon and get actual current raiding gear. Got some stupid assholes in this guild though. We did 100k total dps to xulous :laffo:. Pathetic. lovely DPS makes this poo poo way harder than it needs to be.

The funny thing is that if you want to be lazy, it's the worst way to go about it. Kill stuff in 10minutes freeing you to do other things, rather than casually dpsing for 30 minutes and making us wipe.

The Grandmaster fight is harder than any cotf raid, mechanics wise. We tried him with seven people last night for hours, the first time he was ever engaged. You have to pay attention to the chess board and pieces the most or you'll just be dead the entire time.

We only have one guy close to flagging for that. Test server usually can by pass flagging rules if you have at least one guy with flag, not sure how that works on pop style events, if it does. Either way I think we are pretty far from attempting it.

The Anni raid might be more doable judging from last year's nagafen.(y'all should test copy and beat it for us)

It's impossible, unless there is some cheat or exploit. If you are in the room without the flag, you are death touched. If you try to cast heals or get on the grandmaster's hate list, he will melee you remotely (and hard,) if you try to loot something from a mob you aren't flagged to access, you are death touched.

Are you constantly on drugs? You're confused. I talk about how we are making progress on xorbb, you bring up fire balls from findle like it's some secret elite strategy, when that's known from the start. I talk about cotf and you bring up poWar Grand Master raid. I say Anni raid is more doable (a different event) and you start taking about grandmaster again.

I imagine you're trying to be helpful and I don't mean to be a dick but I have no idea how you connect some of the things you're talking about; do you?


Test server has different flagging mechanics. 85% does not apply, only one person need the flag to do most raids, as far as I know. If that applies to grand Master we have yet to see.(probably not, no big deal because we are far away from legit attempting him.) It seems a little silly to DT people like that on test server

I believe there is an EM15 earring from Neriak 4th Quarter in CotF. It's from a named golem I think, he spans on the bridge leading to the King in the static zone.

I don't get what they are doing to this game.

First launch of tier 2 is going to happen soon. The beta has started and will last... 4 days. That includes Mother's Day. Then it goes on test and will go live.

This first launch is one zone, The Tower of Rot. It has a number of levels, and each floor is a copy and paste of each other. It has one raid. There are no new spells or AAs. Abilities and spells are getting nerfed, most notably Rest.

Smedley promised on the official Everquest boards (which is on Reddit, for some reason) that he heard the player complaints and that the next expansion will not continue the trend we are on now and will satisfy the concerns that players have. I really hope he is being honest, because what the gently caress. I wager that people that play Everquest now is not because they just want to play a MMORPG, they want to play it because it is Everquest. I don't think strangling the game is going to get us to move to another game like EQN, PS2, or H1Z1. I think we're not going to play MMORPGs anymore.

EM13 drops off Worker's Champion in the gobbie area of Xorbb.
EM14 drops off Glorig the Underdog in Chelsith.
EM15 drops off Mass of Spite in N4G like Aragosta said.

The golem is probably easier than the other two mobs if you're a magician and can use an earth pet. Golem hits pretty hard but doesn't do much other than an infrequent FD but they boosted his hp and melee damage a couple of months ago so he's no longer a total joke if you're group geared.

I've got a 98 nec and two mages that are 88. I'll get my nec to 100 and the mages into the 90s and give the golem a go. Thanks for the input.

If those are my choices, definitely go for the N4G one. Worker's Champ sucks (although if you crash the zone it might be easier to catch him up :ssh:) and Glorig I remember being sort of mean. The worker's champ earring also drops in Find The Gems...Or Die! which is pretty easy when you have the gem chests marked on your map. Maybe...30 minutes of work, especially since you have pet classes and don't have to rely on a merc tank. Last boss hits like a wimp but has a splitting gimmick so either go easy on dps or be prepared to pick up adds fast.

The rest Nerf is going to poo poo on grouping berserkers. They'll have to sit and rest halfway into every HA. And when they're not actively dumping endurance their DPS is worse than pets.

Currently you can hit rest and immediately start attacking while gaining endurance, up to ~29%. With the change, rest will drop once you enter combat.

The rest nerf is going to hurt. The enchanter runes are getting a small mana increase cost, and the runes are going to be a little less. The enchanter change isn't nearly as big as the Rest change.

Runes are also getting a 12s recast. So it's nerfing enc tanking.

Wizards are also losing the ability to refresh harvests with their claw line.

Wouldn't be surprised if there's a couple more nerfs hidden away that don't show up in the spell file.

Da gently caress? That's going to be horrible for monks too. I though the entire point of the Respite line was to be able to keep basic abilities going and used forever, but would have to save or rest for a while to be able to burn discs.
