PMed because we're still derailing and because I don't like sharing strats with idiots.

I do.

We traditionally stuck to war/sam/mnks for DDs with 1 drg for angon 95% of the time. With this few people we found that angon was more important than feint. I was usually there as a rid drk, sometimes we had a couple of others, but rarely.

2rdm/drks, 1brd with troub of course using march/mad or min (depending on which prty. i.e. drks want mad, war prtys want min, but you get the idea). Then your 9 melee. And they better be fucking strong. Our melee was our strength. Please keep that in mind.

Gather in front of DL, the usual brd rotation(put the rdms in a seperate prty so they can have SV ballads. Not needed, but a good precaution. It can eliminate needing to vert. And if you have an extra rdm, more than 12ppl, you can have them hold an mp or hp stat at 1-2% to one shot during the fight depending on which you feel will be needed more) + haste, have drks (always have 1-2drks hit the first stun since there can be a little lag from the RDM running up to the appropriate distance as well if you have any) and any sams with bash help with extra stuns/bashes during the zerg. Have the rdms offset CS stun with about a 5-15sec overlap depending on how quick the fight is going.

The key is everyone has to be on point and do everything essentially perfect timing wise. Other than that, it's pretty damn straightforward. Zerging DDs like drks should have the intelligence to have a swap for when BW/SE runs out to swap to traditional damage set up and to bring meds like i.wings etc just in case. Where I think most people screw up is they take meds at the START of the fight. They do you more good towards the END when your 2hr is either about to wear, or does wear. That way you have that extra little bump of damage if you need it.

I sent this to the few that asked. I really don't like everyone leeching off of what we learned over years, so keep it low key. It's not mindblowingly different from other strats, but there's little stuff we do a cock hair different that makes the difference.

And I forgot to mention that it's a good idea to have your melee /nin just in case

I forgot to mention something critical and a big reason we use a drg instead of a thf.

Jump during 2hr has the same effect as angon, def-20%. This does NOT stack with angon, and the duration is somewhat random. Make sure your drg has a jump macro with an abnormal amount of acc for it, as it needs to land to give this effect. They need to try and time 2hr > jump as soon as angon wears. This essentially gives you def-20% for the entire duration of the fight. That's key.

You're talking down to people when your own server doesn't have a LS that can even hold a candle to some of these other shells. Quit being a faggot.

So.... one week after forgetting to screenshot my X's Knife drop (1/6 for mine), speaks for itself :

Bio's gonna fucking wear in 10 seconds, bro.

[Starr]

I need to do that shit

[Overburn]

Bio's gonna fucking wear in 10 seconds, bro.

Poison, too.

[Velecic]

I do that so I don't miss the message because SE is retarded and won't let me set a special chat color for "___'s ___ effect wears off." so it just gets mixed in with damage etc, I also like to know ahead of time so I can plan rebinding after bio etc. I use caps so it stands out and yes, I'm an /echo whore, almost all my macros echo something lol.

[Daiiawn]

change every other font color so that effects wearing off are the only ones that show in white, works wonders.

Yeah, he could turn the Say/NPC text purple, spell/JAs lime green, and damage red.

Would've been more interesting if it was a Ragnarok completed on the Gjallarhorn server.
