Epic Trilogy 08/06

[Legend]

Hi All

Again an epic trilogy, starting with Velah, then to Queen and finish with Chrono.
This week if you are bringing a dps toon you will need to post your weapons used for each if different, str and any extra justifications as dps was way too low in velah last run due to mix of weapons and tactics used we were probably 3 dps down which is not fair on the healers which have been doing a gr8 job, it seemed only a few peeps brought the right wepaons for end of von 5 epic too! will post the dr breakers needed for each below too, basically if you are a barb, fighter kensai or Pally you can get away in the most with lesser effect weapons such as Epic Antique G Axe/Lit 2 2 hnder if you are a rogue or Monk you need the effect weapons such as burst and bane to compliment the sneak attack and speed of attacks, obviously low 20’s str will not help a melee too.
Healers have been fine in pretty much every run, casters have been lacking in Queen though, basically you need to unload your sp as fast as you can, as soon as the queen comes down from the platforms you have done your job, do not hold back!

I will send a PM if posted lacking a bit.

Type of weapons useful: Most epic with appropriate slotted red, Min 2 for most, crafted holy/burst of bane/g bane, gs Lightning 2 for some (but should have a backup weapon)

Velah
(no DR needed, but need the
toon with dps/weapons)
Queen (Good + Cold Iron)
(need the dr breaker and high
dps weapons)
Chrono (Good)
(Easier as flanking but still need
decent weapons to take down as fast as…)

1. Legend
2. Nath
3. Myror
4. Dom
5. Flav
6. Cat
7. Jan
8. Khaan
9. Calib (once confirmed dps)
10. Knuck (to fill)
11. Ludo (queen dependant on group and weapon)

Signing up my Artificer, can bring something else if needed tho 🙂 Do you need stats for my Arti? 😀 She uses a LIt2 with arti buffs, and switches to another holy burst one for when I dont want lightning damage. She also uses 2 tod sets and the runearm from Mindsunder.

EDIT: I have made the shards and will craft her a holy burst of greater evil outsider bane heavy repeater when I log on 🙂

[Myror]

SIgn my up please.

Guess only Fyros meets your more stringent requirements. MinII Greataxe, Greataxe Kensai, STR 50 when all buffs firing.

By the way, regarding crafted handwraps, I did some testing on a pair of Holy of Evil Outsider Bane I crafted (cannot do greater banes yet). The holy from the crafted bugs out and suppresses the holy burst from a TOD ring so effectively a waste of space. Fortunately the evil outsider bane part does work. Holy on random hand wraps are fine. However finding a set of +5 Holy of Greater Evil Outsider Bane is something I’ve failed at in 4 years of looking.

The frost burst + force (d6) + force (+1) + pure good wraps I linked to you last week.are superior to wraps that are just holy, and very close to Evil Outsider Bane (when cold is resisted) but only sub-par to Greater Evil Outsider Banes (which I don’t have any of).

What should be my next best wraps, Unstable Handwraps, are also borked. On those neither of the Chaotic or Lawful outside banes function, just the Axiomatic and Anarchic effects do.

I suspect Calomel handwraps are actually the best boss beaters around, even against a boss with cold resistance. On average luck they even look good against greater evil outsider bane alone. Though they are a bit random on account of all their damage coming from 5% and 2% procs.

Myroar though is currently TRing so you don’t have to worry about me trying to foist him on you this time 🙂

[Domend]

Signing up for these myself 🙂

eVelah : Domend (Healer)
eQueen : Domend (Healer) or Tankarismus (Tank)
eChrono : If i have my wizie capped as i should i will bring my Wizard. Otherwise whatever we need tank/healer/dps/bard .

[Flavia]

Signing the usual suspects : Kender and the various Flavor of Flav.
For the Kender you know what he has in his bag of trick, he even found a Dragon Bane rapier.

For the Flavors of Flav, they won’t go melee, so the point is moot.

I’m going to point out that during last week Dragon run at least half the party was standing near the rocks., while on the previous runs there was only 1 or 2 Healers, 1 Kender and 1 Arcane.

I might be available though as we are redecorating our home I am currently sitting on a pile of trash (almost literally) so if I don’t show up you have been warned. Basically I will see what happens in the coming days and update this thread if I foresee an changes.
For the raids I can bring either my cleric or my wizard.

[Sinaefay]

Signing up with mine. Will bring Denth for all three (eSoS and claw set), or Chanted for Queen (Min2s and songs, str around 50).

I’ve asked around monk players and they all say that holy burst on tod rings stacks with holy on wraps. If you Myror have found that tod rings bug with crafted wraps, you might need random loot gen wraps for them to stack (Im just guessing about that last though).

[Nikoli]

crafted holy / tod holy burst interplay is a known (at least on forums, not sure about devs being focussed on the update ;)) issue.

if youre happy to burn mats shocking burst of geob or glob for devils n axiomatic burst of geob seem about the best option (probably less painful than having alternate TOD rings )

bit too early start to sign up here generally (irrespective of gimp factor ;)) but will likely be malingering if spots crop up later

[Khaan]

Would like to try Landrah out in this. 34 str, dual swinging 1x MinII / 1 x LitII scimi’s. But also very capable healer if thats the role u want her on. Otherwise ol sashani is always in the corner if u need a wizzie 44 DC necro, 43 enchantment. Assortment of other misfits if you want something else too.

[Calib]

Signing Phweht and Pweht up again.

[Legend]

Calib you a melee dps healer and dps Pally on these?
Please provide weapons details, str, etc… for each raid as requested above, as everyone seems to want to bring a healer/melee healer of some kind 🙂
We are ok for pure healers at mo but if back-up melee healers want to join they will need the dps output + additional resources to match/come close to the damage output of a dps toon, ie a kensai fighter with dual khopeshes will be doing around 200 damage per crit hit, with enahancements etc… the crits are very regular and they will also attack 10% faster than others, i dont expect peeps to match this but 1 of these fighters could easily do the melee damage output of 2+ other dps toons.
ie. 34+ str cleric w/Antique g Axe who can spam Quicken DP on bosses w/ heal aura to help melees + heals to help if pure get low.
