Raid Group #2 Scheduling

[Tbone]

We'll probably use you then. I know we were looking for Guardian or Trooper DPS for the debuffs that they give, but beggars can't be choosers! Thanks for stepping up!

[Broin]

Let me know how it goes guys

[Tbone]

Got him down to 4%, I believe. We were consistently getting him down to 10% towards the end. Good run tonight, especially considering we had a lot of people outside of our normal group! Thanks Mharz, Jeyk, and Viccar!

Ratio was a no show and considered MIA. Remember to shoot me a message if something comes up (email, PM, text, whatever).

Tomorrow night we'll be missing Ratio, Anamodiel, and Broin. We might still be able to pull it off with Mharz, Jeyk, and Viccar if they're all willing to jump in again tomorrow!

[Tbone]

Also, removing Pendas from the permanent roster (he hasn't signed up once). Arawn requested to be on it, but he hasn't signed up for anything either.

[Anamodiel]

God, I really want to be there tonight because I know we're going to get it. We were getting so close every single time...

[Ratio]

My apologies for yesterday. Something came up at the last minute and my phone was out of commission. Still missing tonight.

[Tbone]

Thanks for checking in Ratio

[Ratio]

And before I head out:

From patch notes 1.1.4 (not live yet):

Eternity Vault
Casting Mind Trap will no longer cause Soa to lose threat against his primary target.

Which means that he currently de-taunts while casting mind-trap on on completion. Either way, it's not worth taunting while he's casting, only when he's done. It's just a minor timing thing, but it might help out for overall awareness since taunting just before or during mind trap might be a wasted taunt.

[Tbone]

Yeah, I was just coming on here to post this. Apparently this bug has been in for at least two weeks (i.e. since we've been fighting him). This would explain why we've had such a tough time while those who have come before us had an easier time with it.

Knowing this bug, we might be able to overcome it. At the very least, once it's fixed we should be golden for Soa since we're consistently getting to Phase 3.

[Tbone]

Ratio, Broin, Anamodiel out tonight.

Vanhouten, Arawn in. Strod switching to heals. Room for one more DPS.

Going to attempt Soa and then possible Normal Mode.

[Tbone]

We made a few attempts and got to the third phase, even with people who had never done the raid before! We had to end it abruptly however, so we'll wait for next week when the fix Soa.

On a similar note, I had to remove Lithium from the raid group. We desperately need more tanks. Arawn has offered to switch to tank, so I'm hoping this will make Ratio main tank and Arawn off tank.

Next week we have an open DPS slot since Anamodiel will be out and Strod is switching to heals. If you can be there all three nights, you'll get priority.

[Tbone]

Sign ups are up for this week. With the Soa fix incoming, this should be our week for getting him down!

We'll still be missing Anamodiel's heals, but Strod is sticking with healing for the time being. This leaves an additional DPS slot open.

[Tbone]

WE BEAT SOA HARD MODE!!!

Participants:

Tbone
Broin
Anamodiel
Requiem
Strod
Mharz
Viccar
Lan'obi

This is BEFORE the Soa fix! Conrats everyone! He didn't drop any Rakata, but a Armoring 25 mod (which could be placed in a chest piece).

[likwidtek]

heck yes!!!

[Tbone]

Very good run tonight! We downed Karagga HM, went all the way through EV, and downed Soa HM after just two tries!

Arawn wasn't able to join us, so Jeyk subbed in. It was a very lucky night for Jeyk. Arawn, this is what you missed: two Rakata mainhands, an offhand, boots, gloves, and two Columi implants. Good pull Jeyk!

All of this could be YOURS if you sign up as an alternate! Strod and Ratio were the lucky recipients of a Rakata chestpiece courtesy of Soa *mumble mumble*.

Tomorrow night we are doing normal mode runs of both (hopefully) in order to get Biometric Crystal Alloys! We're still not sure if Arawn will be joining us, and I don't think Jeyk is available tomorrow, so we may be looking for another offtank/DPS!
