vladic · February 12, 2012, 03:23:49 PM

Rosta for Thursday 16th Of Febuary

This weeks Suggested Rosta.

Tanks

Lurek - Excellent tank on par with Imhotep, with Imhotep being phased out after a months OP's time and with the requirement that I still need a skiller/geared tank, Lurek is the only viable option for this role, Excellent tanking skills and Notices tactics for tanks that need doing such as Tank rotations etc.

Krek'la - Good geared tank and this would be his 2nd official run, a definate keeper in terms of player skill and personality, slightly inexperienced at the way we run OP's but with practice will conform to the mentality/disapline expected.

Healers

Tenilia - Permenat healer currently due to sever lack of other Resurrectable classes (Sindri would work however this is just Imhotep again) excellent healer and will put forward tactics for healing (when to stand and AOE etc) if not known.

Twysted - His 2nd OP's although low geared his healing was on par with healers way above his gear grade, excellent player with multiple years of OP/raid experience, and has more then proved he can run OP's even in greens.

DPS

Vladic - OP's leader and Highest DPS available due to ranged status (this is versing single targets) Obviously being OP's leader my presence is a nessesaty.

Sheepy - Excellent ranged DPS, Confident player and one of best range DPS we have, also good for group spirits and moral making the runs interesting and humerous.

DarkAngel - 2nd OP's run, due to absence he is being taken again as RL issues interupted him going several weeks previous, well geared and skilled player, enhanced my and his own DPS by 25% due to sharing the same spec boosting abilties, increasing boss DPS.

Varg - 3rd OP's run, was a choice between him and KKND and in the run KKND is more geared and has cleared Eternity Vault already so was chosen to gear him up/let him experience the entire run, Excellent DPS and a great assistant within the OP runs calling out things that are missed.

This OP's group was chosen based on previous runs and experience/equipment, 3 Ranged DPS and 1 melee due to both tanks also being melee so really makes it 3 Melee and 3 Ranged for balance and Healing Purposes.

This weeks OP will be Eternity Vault (Normal or Hard) depending upon If individuals within the group have geared them selves more, any changes wished to be made by the Council please discuss them here first so I may debate my selection if you find issue.

Vladic just a quick question from me, Why no Bobba or Sneaky in this week for DPS?

smilodon · February 13, 2012, 11:36:55 AM

At the start I think it's crucial to get everyone involved even if it means not always fielding the strongest team. I've not been keeping up with exactly who has and has not been through the rotation so far and I can appreciate it's a bit of a juggling act keeping everyone happy but we need to make sure everyone gets a go before we start bringing people back for a second run. I know that's not always possible but IMHO it should be priority to try.

Quote from: smilodon;344368At the start I think it's crucial to get everyone involved even if it means not always fielding the strongest team.

I think this is important as it also widens the number of players with the ability to raid well and so when people are not able to go through sickness, real life or personal problems there are others who can fill in the gaps.

smilodon · February 13, 2012, 12:35:20 PM

I'm certainly not trying to second guess Vladic, but I'm just wondering about the conflict between doing right by fielding a strong team and doing right by getting everyone involved?

vladic · February 13, 2012, 03:36:26 PM

Sneaky has been a few times as well as varg so it was a toss up between the two for melee, and i didnt put bobba due to fact I havnt seen the guy online in a few weeks.

DA im fielding due to fact he has done only one week due to an RL issue that prevented him going the time before, Everyone aside from Bobby has been to my knowledge, and i try to field a balance Smilo, half or more experienced (based on who been or not) and half or so unexperienced as then they cover the slack as for example Ghar'j in Eternity vault, is not a boss you can lack DPS on, so aye I wont lie I have to choose between taking everyone new each week and whipping on a boss all the time or getting everyone in, Even with the group I took not last week but week before, all in Tier 2 OP's gear (colomni) or equivelant it was still a matter of luck (4% burn down at enrage timer).

Sneaky I left out due to fact he as said above has been same amount of times as Varg and whilst He is less skilled he is currently better equipped (due to the loot system in OP's) and whilst I value getting skill up, I'd rather get varg out of oranges/tionese gear and into Colomni and have 1 well geared and skilled player and 1 semi skilled and well geared then have one semi skilled and well geared and a well skilled and crap geared, as skill only takes you so far as does equipment.

This is the kind of time that skill differences will begin to Emerge and be noticable and as much as toby wishes it, as we discussed in the past to "improve people's Skill" some people wont be increasable either due to bad Computers or just being bad at games :narnar:

Edit: and to Gortex (sorry missed your post) currently everyone is roughly at the same gear level as one another except obviously the new people getting ready to sign up, Varg is the last requiring a large amount of equipment hence why i wish to take him to get it outta the way, If i may request it could the council begin discussing the situation with hardmodes etc? as the same group composition isnt going to work the hardmodes due to having the same group 2 days a week and IF the particular OP's is hard a set roster would be needed to get the fight down instead of teaching a new individual every week.

In regards to this specifically, i think finding the balance is difficult but with the current people signed up (the majority) progress is currently more important to them then dying on a boss for 2 hours to teach a new individual the fight, and whilst I do believe in fairness, i also believe in satisfying the needs of the many over the needs of the few, or the one (yes im quoting star trek but its appropriate).

smilodon · February 13, 2012, 04:14:14 PM

Bobba is levelling up an Alt or two I think. they are all Bobba...(something). Is the extra info up to date in the Guild panel? it should show who is the Alt of who?

BrotherTobious · February 13, 2012, 04:25:27 PM

A quick thought in to Hardmodes we have started to discuss it but based on last week I got the feeling you wanted more time so that you get the other OP down as it was a much more challanging.

But we are looking into along with your Backup/Helper

Thanks for getting back to us.

vladic · February 13, 2012, 07:06:47 PM

No no, I want hardmodes sorted as soon as possible, we have hungry Raid people chewing at the bars of there cages, we only had one boss to go if honest and even then he wasnt an issue, it wasnt actually the bosses killing us it was the Ninja trash lol so Priority things for me personally to know is - Second day, Hardmodes (set roster prefered) and Back up/assistant OP leader.

And to Smilo, the Guild sign up shoudl be now up to date (gave Toby some more audits based on what i been told) letting me see who is available for what, as to who alts are etc they are labeled ingame but if they arnt on when I am its difficult to see who has played and who hasnt

smilodon · February 13, 2012, 07:27:36 PM

No problem, sounds like i's sorted. We just need to let people know we're working on getting Hard modes sorted and a second group up and running.

TeaLeaf · February 13, 2012, 09:19:04 PM

Let's remember to get this concluded and resolved asap so it can be posted. May I politely suggest that rather than playing forum ping pong if you have a difficult issue, that you go to TS and do a 2 minute chat instead?

vladic · February 14, 2012, 12:31:33 PM

Roster Finalised With Toby on TS last ngiht, Waiting for an Officer to Post.

TeaLeaf · February 14, 2012, 01:43:54 PM

Bump for an officer to post! To be fair, I think I see Toby onlione at the moment so he might already be doing it!
