Sorry but I have to do this. WE ARE ON RAG AGAIN! Finally. I guess taking that long to finally get Domo down again is to be expected without a core gruop but we finally got the SoB.

GL with rag. Hopefully you've all been loading up on the FR. :)

how long does it take you to set up garr targets??

Elfan · 10/23/05, 9:48 PM

Congratulations Legato.

I did it in about 45 seconds yesterday.

I won't lie -- the CTRA TargetManager thing helps a lot.

It took 2+ mins before.

Gurg quickly tabs through Garr's adds and says "3-2-1 GO!" on Vent and they are pulled, it's a lot of fun! :3

We AOE them down

2h47m, baby!

yea right...

Just bumping to say that we just finished a 2h35m run. Still a few minutes to be shaved, but it'd really be tough, I think.

To go sub-2h30m I would probably need to take a group that looks more like our BWL groups, and then everything would get DE'd, which would kind of defeat the purpose.

The 2h35m time came with alts and noobs in the group, and maybe 2-3 pieces getting DE'd the whole run.

Since you are taking new people on these runs I'm assuming your fast times are from just constantly pulling and other eliminations of downtime, which with your dps/mana regen basically makes it one 2.5 hour fight, as opposed to skipping lots of mobs, correct?

Yep. I think we killed every single mob in MC at least once today. Literally -- I can't think of a single spawn we skipped (thanks to a giant pair that we accidentally aggroed :angry: ). It's just chain pulling, setting up assignments for fights as we do the prior one, buffing on the fly, and a general urgent pace. It's a hectic couple of hours, but being out of there in 2.5 hours makes it so very worthwhile.

It keeps me in a good mood, too, which can only be a bonus for the people who have to deal with me ingame.

It seemed like it was faster than 2h35m, from my point of view atleast.

Oof · 10/30/05, 10:26 AM

Same here, and I really doubt we could do it considerably faster, even if we brought our top DPS players. Most of the time is made up with quick, constant pulling (where you did an awesome job imo) rather than killing things faster. The only major downtime was the Rag preparation, where we could probably save another 5 mins.

It will be tough to break 2:20 no matter which group we bring in.

Deril · 10/30/05, 12:57 PM

It went rather quickly, but there were a few things that could be tightened. Pulling the surgers leading up to lucifron, for example (the 7-hound pack that followed was pretty awesome, though). All the other pulls came very promptly, lough did a pro job. I think our longest wait was at garr, but that's to be expected, really. I had fun, and slug is an ace warlock to be paired with. He only banished my elementals once, it let me build hate on them to last through stuns :D

The key to lowering the time more is OBVIOUSLY getting about 4 more LotP druids :)

What would we do with them for the rest of the week though?

Put us back in our cages and feed us a steady diet of sweet loot.

I vote this option. I was standing next to Chupid in BWL the other night and he smelled kinda funny...

Saith the class that enjoys summoning helldemons. Do you request that they bathe before being drawn from the nether?

Succubi can smell kind of skanky. I would hope so!

decimus · 11/01/05, 7:44 PM

I always called the succubi fel-whores after they got their breasts enlarge... err graphics redone.
