Contrary to the Red evangelists, Noble FTE spam can be kind of fun. Someone dragged the presence over the FTE spammers (I shall give everyone the benefit of the doubt that no one was using autofire) right before Noble spawned, resulting in a slaughter:
TMO got FTE and managed to kill Noble, but half of their force was dead. So we decided to get sneaky: we (and our allies from Divinity) ported back to 1 as if we were key corpsing, but instead we buffed up and watched the clock like hawks. We were counting on TMO being a bit blase about the 20 minute timer, and we were right. Our pull squad arrived on Isle 4 at the same time as theirs . . . but we were the only ones with a wizard.
[Wed Jan 21 22:56:54 2015] Noble Dojorn has been slain by Pullin!
[Wed Jan 21 23:17:02 2015] You try to hit Overseer of Air, but Overseer of Air is INVULNERABLE!
[Wed Jan 21 23:17:15 2015] Overseer of Air shouts 'RAEV'
[Wed Jan 21 23:44:14 2015] Eccezan shouts, 'HEDS'
We had a sloppy engage but somehow managed to zerg him down, and then we had a smooth pull and kill of the Hand, except for the part where he spun on enrage and I got owned. I BLAME THE TANKS NP.
To their credit, TMO were pretty good sports about the whole business, although their good spirits may have been boosted by the fact that both of the efreetis dropped complete junk (hello, Torc). Still, we all had a good time; we R scum don't get many chances to even engage a raid mob!
