Typical party makup:
Obsidian Tank

I would love to do it. I'm even free tonight! Sadly, my monk (the only thing you're looking for that I actually have) hasn't finished with Nightfall yet. So I only have a lowly Dervish, Ranger, and Mesmer to offer. The mesmer is actually a ME/El and DOES have SF so if you're open to me trying to be a fast casting Ele, give me a shout.

Red. You a funny, funny man. Figured we would do Gloom since it is probably the shortest of the 4 quests, typically 90-120 minutes. To get an idea of the party makup, check here. Aeron, if you think you can manage your energy, a me/el will probably scrape by. Another option would be to get Blood is Power (BiP) on your ranger and go ra/ne instead of ne/ra. It is also a big plus if the BiPer can run at 1 HP. That means grabbing some Ascalon armor and putting on 5 superior runes, suicide 4 times, and run at -60% DP. Red can probably confirm, the most important role is the tank. The tank has to know the patrol patterns and pull correctly. Everyone else just needs to stand back and wait for the tank to lure the monsters to a good spot. Then the SF's blast away while the tank holds the monsters in place. Just don't be a cowboy and everything will be fine. Speak up if you don't understand something. Ignorance insures a party wipe. Key are the skills Symbosis, Spell Breaker, Obsidian Flesh + Stoneflesh Aura, SF, Meteor Shower, Life Bond, Life Barrier, BiP, Healers Boon, Heal Party. I'll be in the BGN GH around 6:30 to answer questions. |

My ele is ready for one of these builds. If we have too many ele's, my monk has to do the very last mission of nightfall and then he's ready. |

Thanks for the fun time last night. Although we didn't make it to the end of Gloom we did accomplish a few things:
* Presort's monk finished the game (yeah!)
* Aeron spent all her gold
* Aeron capped BiP in Nightfall
* Aeron learned how to be a 1 HP BiP'r
* Thea impressed everyone with her 2K+ HP tank
* And finally, holding agro is very important in DoA
Hopefully everyone had a good time and learned that DoA really isn't all that bad with the right party makeup.
We'll have to try it again some other night.

Yep, we didn't make it. But, more importantly it was definitely fun.
I did manage one other accomplishment. After our run I went out and capped Searing Flames on my Me/El so I for REAL have it this time. I promise! :-) So now I can Bip OR Searing Flames!
Thanks again for setting this up, Asya!

Presort and I were going to try another run at DoA the evening of Monday April 16th. Last time it took a while to get set-up. Hopefully everyone saved their builds and we can get going a little faster. Maybe Xaja will bring his Dervish tank! Here is a sample set-up for the Dervish Obsidian tank. |

I would love to be there, but I'm busy on Monday night until way too late. If you go again on Wednesday, I'm there.
I saved my armor and build from last time so I can BIP again (assuming I can borrow your gear again Asya) or my mesmer now really does have SF so I can play that role too.

Had a fun run with an all alliance team last night. Ended when the bonder lost connection and we pulled a stupid agro move, but other than that, it was a good time.

Sounds like you guys had fun!
Wednesday fell through for me. We're moving in two weeks (YEAH!) and keep getting bombarded with things to do before we move. I may have to play it by ear. Although currently I am free Thursday and perhaps this weekend.

 Take care of your move Aeron, DoA can be done a few times a week.
If certain days are better then others, we could do it as a regular event on the calendar.
Cheers

For some reason, I have no clue where DoA is, and I hate to ask since EVERYONE else seems to know.  From what I'm reading, it sounds like I have to finish Nightfall before I can join so I'm out anyways. ...I need to bring my necro through the last couple of missions, but it won't be this weekend since it's the last free weekend of LotR Online. After that, I have to decide if I want to subscribe or not... |
