Calling all Magicians and Necros!!

[Wallicker]

Thinking about hosting an all pet class chain-a-thon, maybe slaughter vindi or do some flurries to push the boundaries of what we can do with an army of Gibartik’s !!

Please respond if you have a 50+ pet class and are interested!

[Nitholias01]

do druid bear pets count?

[Wallicker]

Eh I guess could include Shaman pets, 55+ druid pets and 58+ SK pets before others ask. Basically a summonable controllable pet that has 1k+ hitpoints but where the caster isn’t sub 50 where they will get low lvl sit aggro and wipe our fun.

[zati]

count me in. been waiting for something like this..

[Legidias]

Spend 6 days and 20 hours corpsing magician epic corpses in kael right cubby

[Tethler]

Enrage will be tricky lol

[spoof2424]

Pets can equip items in these slots: primary weapon, secondary weapon, ranged weapon, shoulder, legs, chest, head, foot, hands, arms, back, face, and neck. Additionally, they can equip a single finger slot, a single wrist slot, and a single ear slot.

Yes but which Garabtik will leave with See Invis..

[baakss]

This sounds awesome!

[Yoink1986]

Depending on time/place 60 epic mage here.

[Jimjam]

I am collecting my +1000 hp of items for my brazier of summoning as I type!

[Wallicker]

Haha one AoE will wreck a brazier but hey

[Jimjam]

Haha one AoE will wreck a brazier but hey

That's why I need the 1k hp of gear to give it :p.

[LazyHydras]

I'm in.

[LazyHydras]

Just get Nilbog to put in a quick patch which transfers your resists to your pets and we're good to go. :)

[Atmas]

Enrage will be tricky lol

Have to be very quick with turning off pet attack. Probably should have half the raid force turn it off a decent margin in advance.

[jolanar]

Always wanted to see how much content a pet chaining group of 6 magicians could handle.

[Jibartik]

I am a big fan of this thread.

[Ghostly]

No Healers???

[Legidias]

No Healers???

Thats the point. Notice also no tanks

[Lordgordon]

I will help you bear this burden frodo baggins

[Wallicker]

Honestly enrage won’t matter just keep chaining through that last 10% it’s just another malachite or bonechip... as long as 8 or so people are paying attention. I’d think that any allowable mob would be easy to kill say statue or doze for instance not that we’d get #s for targets like that, but would be fun to just enter a zone and send wave after wave of pet like a hive of fire ants!! Even if a pet gets one rounded if you have 30+ pets I seriously doubt oom will be an issue before the target dies

[Kintronics]

I'm in. Lv 60 mage. Some 30 mages should down Vindi.

[zati]

we should do a test run in kael arena/ph with like 5-7 mages with nothing but earth/epic pets. then once there's 25+ mages we could attempt harder shit lol.. or even a crawl through hole/chardok would be amusing

[lonmoer]

60 mage here that would do it.

[Cen]

He's not fantastic, he's Jobantik!

[Kiwix]

I'm game if euro friendly time.

Epic mage or 60 necro with Encyclopedia Necrotheurgia

[btravis1990]

I will bring my skelly minion. When we thinking?

[rezzie]

<Aftermath> will announce a moratorium on Vindi raids on the chosen day for this, in the hopes that he will be up for this open raid.

We hope other raiding guilds will join us in this effort, so that everyone can have fun together.

Better Buy Now before the Rush folks!

[Wallicker]

A lot of stuff in window this weekend I’m thinking maybe Wednesday or Thursday next week, will talk with people and try and come up with a good time for euro/USA players that we can get a solid force and not be raiding elsewhere

[bradsamma]

We did this back on live. The push is insane but you can essentially take out any target where the AE isn't too bad or the target CH's.

[Jimjam]

Is it worth staggering the pets into waves, so the second wave have taken one less round of AoE, meaning you won't have so many pets all dieing at the same time?

[stebbins99]

Seems like a good premise at least Jimjam! Somebody please film this whenever it goes down!

[Ligma]

Dain is a good target for mage raids. The banish doesn't effect pets and he might not even one round pets often. I used to do mage raids on live during PoP and enraging pets that can stunlock mobs to lvl 6000 was insane. Rampage/AEs/adds really get in the way of what can be done though.

Velk/statue/AoW could probably be done. It just takes a really long time. Riposte damage ends up really sucking but with enough mages you can easily keep mobs occupied indefinitely.

[Legidias]

Doesnt banish work through pets to the caster (like DT)?

[Ligma]

No, it either does nothing or sends pet to where it was summoned. Depending on what type of spell it is. I think phase spiders gates pets to spawn spot.

I killed dain with 4 mages in classic PoP and also three boxed trakanon on p2002 with mage/druid/ranger

[Troxx]

In later expansions when necros got the targeted summon short duration extra bonus pet spell line ... theirs summoned 4 small pets vs the mage line which summoned 1 much stronger pet. Necros could chain cast the 2-3 highest in the the spell line for 4 mini skeletons per cast.

As a thought experiment I ended up soloing without mercenary every single high end group named (7-15 million hp) that didn’t have an aoe by just standing there chain casting them down the line having 7-12 little pets up at any point. With a good round each skel could only take a single swipe before dying. With a lucky round a skeleton could live 2-3 rounds. Named always took a dirt nap. No other class other than BL (playing cleric for their pet and slowing) could truly solo these mobs even max raid geared without a mercenary helping. It was possible with BL but touch and go and difficult. A necro could do it easily by exploiting the fact that they could swarm the boss with a horde of tiny pets and the mob could only kill them one at a time.

A pet raid here would work similarly. With enough pet classes and a mob that doesn’t cast nasty aoes it’s totally doable. When a pet dies 20-30 others are ready to take over while the dead pet owner just makes another. Simple Zerg mechanics only dead things don’t need rezzes.

[Pootle]

If our shitty SK pet is welcome, I would join... mainly to be a small part of such a fun event!

[Legidias]

DN spider is different. DN spider proc on hit (and scareling in PoF) are similar to bard Highsun, where they gate mobs, but just shadowstep PC's.

Vox/Naggy have full banishes as do Trak and Dain where they teleport you to a certain spot upon aggro.

[ScottBerta]

60 Mage (bro) / 60 Shm (me) possibly interested

[Tethler]

Can shamans slow? Or is it legit only pets and nothing else (no nukes etc.)? Either way sounds awesome.

[Ravager]

This would be a great twitch stream that I'd actually be interested in watching.
