I think fraps would be more entertaining for this one though. You would have to define clickies though, because I think in all cases we are using a McDonalds BP. Nothing else though.

I also love to brag about feet as well, on occasion.

by clickies im assuming he means instant cast items (ie golem wands, pumice stone etcetc)

Watching fraps of a ragefire duo would make me want to watch linoleum peel for a little entertainment. I don't know if the Overking fight would be more fun to watch (certainly its a bit trickier with the AOE and potential gate). Annotated screenshots would be badass for sure though.

Some items are insanely good for this stuff (puppet strings and the Donals BP are the worst offenders).

Get off my brag thread bro

I think we should be bragging more about feet.

:p

Good stuff though, regardless.

Reading is hard.

Updated my thing for the first time in like 6 months!

Queen and King have been being trio'd/quad'd for months.
The first time I'm aware of was some combination of myself (Warrior), Happyfeets (Cleric), Froovy (Enchanter), Internode (Monk), and was late January 2013. The "strong clicky" being the Donal's BP.
We managed a Queen with Warrior/Cleric/Monk. Needed Warrior/Cleric/Enchanter for the King.
This is when we first started selling lootrights to things like Royals, Brother, Xenevorash, etc.
Don't believe anybody did it before us.

Following that, there are now probably at least 10-20 people from our guild who've trioed/quad'd it in some capacity.

Black Reaver Fails:

Well last night I was bored, so I toured the world buffing xp groups and smacking stuff with my RoA, but I eventually ended up in CoM and figured I'd log out there and give black reaver a go in the morning.

For whatever reason, I totally forgot that there is a solo reaver just behind the locked door at moat. I was thinking the only solo reaver was up on the final platform, so I got up there and (stupidly?) bound on the ledge there to easily get back up there after hatting/zoning. The bile on the catwalk was 45, I think as good of a pet as I can get in CoM, so I got him normal weapons, ac, bedlam, rune, feedback, plus had myself fully buffed up. It was quite an ordeal keeping everything fresh on myself and my pet while also getting to full mana for the fight.

The first attempt or two I just walked my pet by the door to aggro the reaver (and light blue fog golem) that were inside. I actually ended up with my single most successful pull on my first attempt: http://postimg.org/image/fjgvhqyvh/

I mezzed the add as I watched my pet start doing a surprising amount of damage to the golem. Here you can see my pet has just lost bedlam + rune, while dealing ~20% of the reaver's HP (and some to the golem I think)... which I thought wasn't too bad since he took hits from both of them while aggroing: http://postimg.org/image/qpij4os1v/

But I decided I wanted to root CC the fog golem, and when I backed my pet off to get him out of it's melee range, the "fun" for the next 2 hours of reaver pull attempts began.

Yep. That's me, my pet, and the reaver down on the ground near moat. As soon as I tried to back pet off of the reaver, the reaver ran directly away from my pet and I and fell down the gap in the catwalk. Then he summoned my pet down and I followed, and we ended up where you see in that screenshot. Reaver was working my pet over pretty good, but my pet took a lot of hits without me tossing him any bedlam/rune while we were coming down, so I thought things were still ok. Then a good 8-10 mobs popped out of the wall immediately to my left, knocked me to low hp instantly, and I got summoned and died. Oh hey, black reavers don't hit for 144 like most level 51s. That's fun!


After receiving a few comments from people in CoM about my train (sorry! the pathing is worse than I expected + I WAS trying this at 9 am to hopefully avoid anyone xping in here + drumas will rez you when he gets power back + I'll buff you all after rezzes!), I tried some different things.

Here is me standing on the other side of the platform hoping the reaver wouldn't spaz out: http://postimg.org/image/le7b6uqnx/ Before even aggroing the reaver though, my pet fell off the ramp himself (twice).

Here is me trying a new tactic. I got targetted on the reaver with some gnome and bind sight fanciness and was trying to pull him out to my rooted pet with a crit lull fail: http://postimg.org/image/ezotbrojx/ He resisted every lull, of course, but in 30ish lulls I didn't get a single crit fail.

Finally I tried to clear out the few mobs in front of the platform: http://postimg.org/image/aiz7lc3z5/ But again, pet and reaver fell through the gap and just ported around in mid air and ran in place trying to get to each other and I decided to leave.


THEN I remembered there was a solo reaver by moat and logged out in disgust to save my rez timers until Drumas (I've got a thing for cleric's with D-names apparently?) comes to rez.



It was a super lame experience. The fact that I knew the fight would be difficult when I did get a successful pull meant I was super OCD about making sure I started every pull attempt with as much duration on buffs and as much mana as posible. So, like, when I tried to pull with lull fails, I spammed 10-12 lulls then I gave up, broke charm, rerooted pet, medded up, redid bedlam and feedback on myself and pet, medded back up, recharmed, relulled the fog golem, reacquired target on the reaver.......... yeah.

And there were the two deaths, and handful of runs out of the zone, and recasts of all my buffs after deaths, and re-runes after failed attempts. So lame!

Hopefully once I get rezzed up I'll have better luck with the reaver inside the castle, probably tomorrow morning.

Splorf22 04-22-2013 09:16 PM

IIRC I did the reaver by chain petting 3 on him. I am pretty sure I did not use the strings. There are plenty of mobs up there to chain fortunately.
