Roses of Dawn

And wondered if you guyz aloing with some others wanted to help me do it?

Will probably be this Friday, around 8PM BST (thats uk time) kick off.

Am thinking of going there via Hall of the Corrupt (Albions entrance), and dont worry if your aggro to the mobs inside, have a plan to have you kamikaze through and some1 rez you the other side .

PS not a hunt for those that value their experiance levels.

Right, heres my new goal .

I want to form 2 groups for a couple of hours 1 or 2 nights a week, basically like a zerg, except the levelling side of it is not the focus.  People that join adhere that they will try to make every hunt where they can, and will give me advance notice where they cant.

The idea of these hunts is to farm monsters for decent drops that can either be used by the participants, or dished out around their guilds where pos, if not sold on Prydwen forums for cash.  There may be a lot of focus pulling for certain bosses, but every1 will play an active role and will need to stay alert at all times in places.

Hunts will vary from simple melancholic fairies, Siabra queen, SH, DF, CF, Summoners, Fomor/Tur Suil, the boss under the waterfall in Cothrom Gorge, and as far as we can go with just 2fgs.  On occasion it may be possible to bring others along, and maybe we can go for a big raid like in the past.

Group layouts are as so, note that in some cases maybe only 1fg will be needed, so you may not have to attend EVERY hunt, but a good 90% where pos would be appreciated.  Once I have a list of the people interested, then we will sort out a good day/time each week that every1 can handle.

Group 1 :-
Bard - Blackfoxx
Warden (6sec pbt and heal as well if pos)
Tank - Venoid
Tank - Wolfshead
Ranger
Focus Chanter
Pbaoe/Gtaoe mage
Animist

Group 2 :-
Bard - Ethaine (subject to change where necessary.)
Warden (6 sec pbt)
Druid (Buff/heal specced where pos)
Tank (Hero, BM, Champion, VW)
Tank (Hero, BM, Champion, VW)
Focus Chanter
Mentalist (Crack 5)
Pbaoe/Gtaoe mage

Note that Ethaine can also be a tank or a warden where necessary, so if a bard is interested there is still space .

All participants must be 45+.  Any/all that are interested post and Ill update the layout, also pls give times of when you are available so i can pick the best day/time for this event to take place each week.

Its also possible to note, that if any1 that joins wants, or knows some1 that wants a particuler drop for a template, then the hunts will focus strongly on the area to attain that drop for them.

Dont laugh , just make sure ur there

I find it irreparably denting my ego that the realm can have 2 uber successful hunts there and I wasnt leading

How dare they cut in on my territory ;p

3rd arm anyone?

This is it, a big big bounty hunt.

Will be leaving Necht Saturday 7th June at 7PM.  Will need as much attendance as pos, and am hoping to have another 2guilds with us.  We will kill as much as we can, until finally we get overpowered , I like this dungeon, because of the way you can take it apart piece by piece, as from what I gather mobs do not respawn until you have left it .

For those that have had bad experiances with past Galladoria raids (there have been some piss boring ones tbh), let your fears aside, we will not be taking tiptoes up every corridoor, and certainly will not yell at people for pulling mobs, as the normal mobs are somewhat over-rated to say the least.

Theres a 2week warning for this, as it is important we get full attendance, if you cant make it, or have some problems, please let me know and maybe I can arrange another day.  Assuming we dont get wiped we are looking for a 3hour minimum hunt.  Im hoping we can clear everything, and have looksie behind the waterfall, as doubtful as it is I can but hope .

Due to the capacity of these drops, they will come to me as they are dropped.  I will then read out what it is, and IF you have to go early, and you see a drop you fancy, let me know and I will roll on your behalf.  Also this is 1 of the rarer hunts where all drops will be so good that I will only allow 1 drop per person.  You may roll for more drops, but if you win, you will have to give the original 1 back for a re-roll.  Policy on alts is unchanged.

That is precisely my theory Black, something I didnt mention, but as is my theory, with the amount of raids, I dont class any item unique, in fact I hope the guilds participating will be the most well equipped guilds in the realm.

We just had some issues, and I want them cleared up before the next raid tbh I hate loot splits, and I think f it as a resounding success that Ive led 3 raids and had 3 perfect loot splits.  A lot of ppl I know anyway dont even stay for them, which I think is a shame tbh.

The thing is I participate on a lot of realm hunts, and Ive seena  lotta crap in my time, whether it be TS raids, Galladoria raids, Summoner raids, Legion raids or Dragon Raids, imo the rules are definately favoured in ppl keeping themselves and their friends well equipped.  One I especially hate is the only lvl50 can roll for so and so, because that is the biggest pile of beep and hunt turn-off factor ive ever seen, and will NEVER as long as I have a shred of decency enter into my hunt rules .

I dont wanna seem to be b!tching, I just want every1 to be happy, I know its not possible all of the time, but I try

Now it would appear some people are contesting the alt roll policy, and others are trying my patience to take the piss.  You may consider this an opportunity to speak your mind and air concerns / changes you would like.  However I will point out that I will NOT take away my policy on alts, as I refuse to have people bringing characters who they cannot use as effectively for pve, just to roll for a drop.  I will also not deter ppl from coming to hunts, by making them use characters that would benefit the hunt more, than letting them bring characters that can roll for drops, it just doesnt work.  Also what about drops for classes that are not available on the hunt?  We were missing VWs and heroes for a start, am I sposed to put those items up for salvage?  Or maybe I should auction them on Prydwen for my own benefit like other hunt leaders have in the past.  Doesnt work for me, Im sorry.

Now for the benefit of those that dont have the common sense to know what a valid alt is.
A alt imo is classed as a character that is of or nearing 40+, that is used at least 2 or more times a week, and who actually needs the item, and will equip and use it as soon as they have hold of it.
It is NOT a lvl18NS as was stated, it is NOT a character ur thinking of making, and it is NOT a character who is fully kitted in SC with all the works and who may equip the item if they need a spare while their normal item is being repaired.

For the record, the Hammer I won tonight (thank you all as I feel some held back rolls just so I had it) is something I WILL be using a lot, in fact it will be my hammer of choice, as the 1 I had was just a common drop from a normal Fomorian.  I also rolled for the cloak, something I knew Nogribando dropped, and something that Ive had my eye on for a while.  Both items are things I physically will use at this time, and hence their Dura will lower at some stage before I would upgrade them.  That is what I consider rolling for an item you will USE.  At this stage now, my Hammer is pretty uber, so any Hammer drops in the future will have to be pretty damn nice for me to roll for them.  You are not rolling because you have a class that uses the item, you are rolling because you are going to EQUIP that item.

That said I hope this sorts out the confusion.  I may begin restricting rolls to 1 drop a person as some areas pose to have a significantly less drop rate, than the original Tur Suil hunt that started it all.  At this stage you will then have the ability to trade ur old drop in if u win 1 u more desire.

Remember these rules are on trust, Im not giving drops away to people to fund crafting and to make their BG characters uber.  Altho I dont agree only hunting for drops, I also dont agree feeding the selfish ****s in the world who only give a damn about themselves.  The whole point of my loot splits being as "lax" as they are, is because you are invited through your guild.  I put trust that if you see some1 in your guild taking the piss, I will be informed and they will be disciplined.  If I do find out people are taking the piss, then they WILL never roll again, it will discredit their guild, and I may well never invite the guild along to hunt again.  Everybody is free to dispute who gets a drop, or in fact any problems they found on my hunts, that made it less than fun for them, I for 1 will be bitching on the Blades forums regarding the continuous "are we there yet" chants, which really did piss me off.  I will listen, unlike many raid leaders, and I will look into it with a matter of urgency and resolve any problems you may have, I want people to have fun, and if people are not happy with the way a loot split goes, then thats a problem for me that i will have to sort out.

Was a good hunt
Sorry Blackson u fell throught the floor
Thank you all you came in support, hope you had fun.
Please post your experiances here, so we may learn and strategise for the next attempt

My experiance with the ballista :-
I was hitting 3-4heads/body a shot, damaged ranged between 15-25, but was sometimes missing completely.  Due to his twisting, I was not hitting all heads as I hoped to.  Possibly changing tactics to a Trebuchet with Grapefruit shot may be an alternative, at any rate learnt the importance of hitting everything, since his health regen is a major factor if a heads is not being engaged.

Focus pets worked well, as a pity as it is, 5focus pets may be the best way to kill him.

Was not aware of transferal of health between heads, but he was certainly heling somehow, as the 4th went up to 55% from 40 at 1 stage.

All in all an excellent attempt .  For 3 fgs to do what we did, thats summin to be proud off, needless to say the last real attempt had 5fgs, and they didnt do as much as we did this time
