I dunno the number of raiders BDA pulls on Phinigel, but all of PoP Progression pre-Elementals, is very easily doable with a solid 50 level 65s.

I am curious though, what is the expedition limit on the instanced Velious raids? Did they cap it at 72 or at 54?

If it's all 72-man stuff and you can get raids nearing that size, you should be able to walk over most of PoP after leveling and grabbing some useful spells. The thing that will slow you down to be honest will be getting the Bastion of Thunder flag in PoStorm since those named giants are on 6 hour respawn. Plus the slackers who don't get PoN Hedge or PoJ Trials done.

The only real challenge in PoP will be the Rathe Council fight. Even with modern upgrades and updated combat tables and spell values, it's not something that just falls over. We had something like 60~ do it on Quarm recently with level 70s there and it was close to failure near the end as we just ran out of offtanks and admittedly didn't put much time into the setup.

Reading Luclin+ mob/zone names feels like eating a sand sandwich.

Expedition limit is 72 and we consistently roll 45+ on bigger raids. Sometimes less on easier targets like Dain and Yelinak. We get over 50 on NToV and Kael nights.

With those numbers, PoP progression will be a non-issue until you hit Rallos Zek. Depending on the mitigation buff they apply to PoP targets, that fight spirals out of control quickly if he doesn't die fast enough. A few charmed Diaku usually can finish the fight in 2-3 minutes, but if he has the inflated HP and Mitigation, I hope you have some good Knights for kiting.

I'd be very surprised to hear you have issues before that point with PoP content.

PoP is still 3-9 months out. Who knows what BDA numbers will be when the luclin dust settles. Our biggest raid on Phinigel was 64 I think. We only have a couple people boxing.

On that note, my alt is top fashionquest:

RZ is hard but I think bigger trouble will be Corinav for them.
