Honestly, with that much speed, the point is clearly to taunt on turn one to neutralize the opening round burst that a lot of other teams put out and allow your other, slower units to start getting to work. In theory, after that, maintaining control is up to them.

I mean, if he's fast enough and has enough protection, he's basically as good as my Shoretrooper that gets Wiggsecuted all the time.

The fact that he can gain a lot of protection gives me hope that he'll be alright. I'll hold off and let whales gear him up and spend all their Omegas on him first.

OK IGD goons, we have enough currency for a heroic tank. However in-game folks are still concerned about our ability to execute. So, respond here and let's hash out when we want to make our next serious attempt.

Does being in a higher level guild make someone level faster? I'm at lvl 38 and it's low as gently caress but if I actually level faster in a goon guild I can help out much faster.

Just going through the rosters of the new guys, I think we're still not there. I'd like to see an updated sheet from KT if/when he has time, but I think not nearly enough time has passed from the last HAAT for people to have significantly bumped up their teams.

The big benefit of being in a higher level guild is benign able to leech top tier Raid loot. Once you have a seven star character, any one seven star character, you can do that. And should do that.

Until then, whatever.

This may happen but I think more people have parts of the teams you need to be good at p3 (Palp, RG, STHan) than they do droids. Main deal is farming Chirpa to 7*, but at least you don't need to gear him up.

Going complete ignorance here, but in my first guild in this game I'm #1 in Raid Tickets at 552.

I have no idea what that means but people in level 70s are at 300 and less and I'm only lvl 38. Is that something that'd help a goon guild rather than whatever guild I'm in now? Cause I'd rather help goons even if I have no idea what the gently caress I'm doing.

raid tickets are just how much energy you spend, its good that you are getting max/near max amount of tickets that helps launch raids. I dont know if the babby guild is still around but either that one or QGJ would be fine for you to join if they had room.

IGD goons, based on feedback I think we're going to hold off on the heroic tank for a bit longer yet. I think we can kick off a regular tank tomorrow morning (pacific time) so that euro players get a shot at p1, since I think they tend to miss that phase with a guild rollover start. P2+ damage would be the following morning (so that teams reset).

Do you have an empty spot? I'm definitely not a heroic tank but it sucks not playing with goons.

IGD doesn't have room for you but QGJ might. If QGJ is full then joining Rocinante is probably a good idea. They are a low level guild populated by goons, friends/family/coworkers and pubs. But I'm not sure if the leader or any of its officers read this thread. You can try searching back like 10+ pages to when it was soliciting.

Rocinante is currently full unfortunately and I recently kicked the last of our inactives. I'll post here if a space opens up but for now we can't take anyone on.

"Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life."
So I migrated my 'can we do p2 yet?' spreadsheet over to the main goon guild one, after the HAAT guide page. I added the new people who came from QGJ, but I might have missed some updates to gear levels.

If any IGD goons have updated their p2 squads since I made the sheet can you pop over to the sheet and update your gear levels please? I'm pretty sure not enough of us have though, it's kind of key to have an average gear level over 10 in order to get decent topples in p2 and too few have that still.

I have droids and rebels, but both are still the same as last attempt since I am gearing a dark side team right now. Tab has rebels again same as last time(she did very low damage due to waiting on p3/4).

So DN lead, I was thinking dooku, maul, sith trooper + ? I am kind if iffy on this one with two 3* standing out like a punch me sign. I have maul, Vader, sid, ep, tfp, rg, boba, all 6-7 stars(looking at you Vader). B2 and a bunch of others at 6ish stars low gear levels as well. Is there a dark side team that is viable without zetas? I really hosed myself on getting them and now everywhere has at least one on my shard and its going to be a while before I have any.

Zader is viable in P2. Boba also slots nicely on that roster, but you probably need Sidious up around GX.

Decent scores from P2 Zader pretty much requires zSdious and Tusken Shaman, I've tried it a few times in HAAT and ended up retreating and just using my Droids instead because without the extra DOT sources it just doesn't stack up fast enough.

zSidious is just so he doesn't fall over the second the tank looks at him and the bonus potency helps land as many DOTs as possible.

I don't see magmatrooper mentioned much in the various raid compa in this thread, but he seems like he'd have good synergy in zader TM teams. (not an original idea, I saw him used in an Ahnald vid)

Is there a particular reason he's not popular?

Because outside of that fairly specific setup, he's worthless, and it's a lot of effort to set him up when there are so many good alternatives.

I think NIhilus lead is probably better than Zaul, as far as Sith go.

Zaul and Zader are both top shelf, though. Zader is also raid comp viable. Don't go Zader for PVP unless you've got a good supporting cast, though.
