The best bard on the raid should be in the tank group

You agree that "draft all the Vindis" is a terrible choice, yes?

ive said vindi should be draftable long time ago, it is a raid mob for while now

Sanctum. Median vindi bp going for 125 dkp, 60 boots, 40 earring. For comparison cleric sky neck median was 25, my massive heartwood thorn was 850 and the most expensive item we've had was a 1300 dkp Ruby tear.

thats cause sanctum stopped pooping it for while, yall had like 40% of the competitive ones when yall sat there during the window. officers got all their bp's i guess

Yeah, we did pretty good for a bit there. There's kind of a cascade success thing with that where we had a strong response for a bunch in a row, and then it became really easy to run more Vindis since we were doing it so much that you could almost always get the needed people without having to do too much other than call the window. That makes it easy on the raid leaders since we don't have to try and find people to log on and potentially move to see if we can get the roles filled.

Then since we're doing it so much people show up to get DKP or hang out or whatever since they know stuff is happening. And since we were doing it a lot people got good at the roles for the FTE and pull and we actually win a decent amount, so then it incentivizes people to come because something might actually be happening.

It also meant we could do stuff like Finalized's corpsed box of the voids for rampage tanking since there was a pretty good chance we would end up using them in a given week. Its not too bad to set up if you're actually going to use them, but its a bit too much if you're just going to have to recorpse them over and over.

Once we stopped killing him all the time, a lot of the momentum fades and its a lot of work to get it going again.

Yeah you can't beat any of those bosses without a bard. I mean, you can, but it's harder.

Point stands; bards are annoying douches.

I'm not sure what that means but no I'm just a member of the silent majority who think bards stink.

I mean yeah, they let you cheese the hardest fights in the game easier. Is that "skill" in everquest now?

[Ciderpress]

We never would have been able to defeat this boss if we hadn't subverted everything that's supposed to make it hard! Instead though, we prevail.
