Ok.
I have to confess.
Yesterday i jumped into the raid (still fully suited up!), slapping a big "experrrrriment"-sticker on Ultraxions's forehead, treating all 24 of u as fuzzy little guinea pigs :p
After defeating the monstrous Entrance Boss and scraping the last few fill-ups (tx Ozzy, Lux, Rrrrrro and Aphis-brother-on-standby), we had a few really nice and enlightening attempts.
I may have not answered all the awesome suggestions that came in whispers at the time but i did read them all (yes Adjoint and Emsky Bob, even those pesky comments from Khary in Tankchannel :p ).
My last raid set-up looked like this:
1. Alae - Brrrrave - Khary - Vrrrrrug - Fungi (-> replaced by V in second cycle)
2. Lith - Rrrrrommie - Elu - Galth - Adjoint (-> replaced by Flutter in second cycle)
3. Tan - Rrrrrubes - Temp - Caire - Bambam Rrrrrubbles (-> replaced by G in second cycle)
(boy u should see this setup and the changes to it in yesterday's scribble book...)
But it's not a viable set up for a full completed raid as the mages and chickens from the first cycle would not have been off cd yet.
So we threw our fuzzy little guinea pigs in a few trials which turned out great and would be worth using in our next attempts:
If we have Disco's: having a disco using Barrier with 4 other defenseless raiders (shammies if really needed?).
If we have Warriors and Protadins: using Wall and Divine Guardian with 4 other defenseless raiders OR raiders with a loooooong defensive cd.
I threw in quite a few healers in the soaking mix but they should preferably stay out when we get further than a 2-cycle raid as they'll loose their much appreciated crystal buffs. Or "use 'm" in an early grp, soaking only ones. (tx Temp and Rrrrrubes for the awesome soaking though).
We got him to 47%, 2-cycles worth, though still far from completion and enrage.
Tx aswell to those daddies with sleepless babies to hang on in there (Aphis, Fungi, Bambam Rrrrubbles).
More suggestions are highly welcome, so chop chop, and "Mekkit Caeuwnn!" (damn u Scottish vowels!)
No high art design to go with this post though, sorry.
