So after a super smooth Reaver with Java while talking about the shroud to Dun, the guild started a shroud.

I just want to go over what I was seeing and thinking. Torrance and I (on Samius) were on portal clearing duty. And beating down was not top end but felt fair. There was a “get that keeper” called out over voice. But I never saw portals with spawns. I always felt like I was at the portal when the bad guys spawned, or at least the onces I watch. There is 2 I don't worry about. The first one and the 8th or 9th one. That one by the jump up with the spikes on it right near the start. Oh and I guess the one right after that, now that I think about it. But I never saw the message for a portal keeper or a keeper for that mater. But there was an orthon, Which I find strange as I also never saw a “dog”. And I believe you will always get the “dog” before the orthon.


Part 2, Again from my view point the dps was okay, not stellar but fine. Was going to get us there. I was told guys were ready and I started walling the Rock. I like to normally keep 3 walls burning at a time to just know it is dead when we are ready and next thing I know I am out of mana. Use the bauble and ask what is up? Kill has all the agro? Why? Grrrr. So we have the bright idea to let him die as to release the agro, and then we get an intimidate guy spamming? Come on. So guys start to drop I get one wall, two wall and the first guy rounds the corner. Sheild drops, I use the last of my mana on a disintegrate. And I freeze for a hair and guy rezes damage ticks on the rock as 0. /cry

Reset with me looking over Tonya's shoulder this time. Trying direct via voice guys to targets. I even sent some tells get on X, get on Y. But mostly they fell on death ears I think. With a handful of quality guys we finish. Makes me realize that I am starting to feel good about the possibilities of a guild shroud with as few as 6 people in the raid. One for each mini boss, one healer, and a rock camper that helps with the starting damage. If we are going to 6 man the raid any way.....

3 fine.

But 4, ..... well I guess we will say lag. I know I maybe should not have jumped in with that lag. But it kinda all hit at that same time for me anyway. But a meteor swarm to my face with lag is not good.


Reset, run another real fast and also ruff in places but we won so fine, Stiner got to graft and there were a lot of scales dropping.

Was going to log but saw a near level Tor and thought WTF? One of the smoothest runs in a long time. Think all but one death was fighting the black dragon the clr was always in the air, and my mass is not that uber. In the end it was me a mostly dead rog, the dragon and a firewall or 6. Post U5 I think that would have been a wipe. Or a least a run away moment.

Got a white and a black, get a tell asking to trade my black for his blue. Sure why not? So ended up White and Blue for the run not bad. I also milked the gold piles. And I watched my totals. I was over 3k plat richer per dragon working the gold. That might be a good tip for a guy on another server. Like those piles in 3BC fill up with arrows and go to town.

Well that was the night, well after watching the last ½ of a really good movie with the wife, Couples Retreat. If you get the chance check it out.
