Watched the Nag kill, is classic raiding just cheese?

they would have to do something to logs to prevent it

Which wouldn't be classic because programming gina in 1999 would've been trivial, although people were too in awe that they could talk to somebody in Ohio while they were in Missouri at the time to care or think of it.

I was a cleric on the Nag kill.

I ran in twice to try and die to get mana. The first time was pointless because he was AoEing so infrequently I ended up running back to just med.

The second time, right after I died, we killed him, so I didn't even need to do it.

Those who think we won because we were chain-sac'ing healers are off their rocker. We actually had some issues with overhealing, and it was like our 2nd attempt, so we could have tightened it up even more if we wanted to. Sac'ing healers was a strategy we decided to use to finish off that attempt, but was in no-way how we accomplished it.

As far as having healers out of LoS... uh, that's just normal EQ raid positioning.

Not sure what else was "cheese".

I've done more Naggys than I can count. The only "cheese" I saw was having a guild full of a bunch of experienced raiders who didn't panic, listened to instructions, and helped each other out to accomplish a server first.

I have no issue with how you killed Naggy, but let's not pretend it was the work of expert Everquest tacticians.

Your tank had to be taught how to use a Mallet, and turn walk on mid raid.

It was good work, surprised it died this early after launch, but Seal Team still has much to learn before they are masters of Everquest.

Mallet spam should be nerfed too

Thanks for the clarification, on both points

I Duoed Naggy by clearing the fire giants with my 70 berserker, then switching to my 52 Erudite Sk loaded with Dwerium jewellery supported by friend's froglok wizard that shrouded down to lvl 50 kobold cleric shroud.

EQ got pretty whacky as it expanded.

Oh this was before zerker.. was a monk and shammy if i remember right. Luclin era

6 years of kunark or whatever that shit was is what happened.

Red99 should have stayed kunark forever, velious is terrible on every level

only the losers in empire wanted it, and they griefed everyone until they raided uncontested for months and thousands of hours, got best in slot then quit because there was nothing to do.

A 52 monk soloed naggy on Blue. Blurry video evidence.

Edit: I take it back. That's not the video I meant. Maybe I was thinking of the Emperor Chottal one. Didn't a 52 monk solo Nagafen on Blue?? With, like, bags upon bags of consumables?

That video was uploaded in 2007....Blue came out in 2009? .....

Oh shoot, I must have found the wrong video. I should have known. The one I meant has GINA all over it.
