CANCELED: 1FG : Darkspire : Monday 1st August 19.30 uk time

[Alan]

I think im going to regret this, but after hearing so much about Darkspire in the forums, Im just dying to go pay the dungeon a visit (dying probably being the right word to use here)

Looking for a group setup of :

Shield Tank : high shield, MoB
Shield Tank : high shield, MoB
Bard : high ML perfector prefered
Druid : 40 regrowth minimum, again high ML perfector
Druid : 30 regrowth for spread, rest in buffs, high perfector
PBAOE : chanter ML9 convoker
PBAOE : chanter / eldritch

2nd level purge would be benefitial to at least one tank, druid and pbaoe.

Ill post the group list on SATURDAY so please check back then, we will meet at the Obelisk in underground forest for 19.30 on Monday. BG will be on Tridiel

The raid time will last between 30m and 2hrs - ALL loot will be FFA, one item per person until eveyone has something.

Anyone with prior experience of Darkspire - speak up too please, found many guides to read this weekend, but nothing like first hand experience.

Just take it slow as they dont respawn with it being an instance dungeon.

We tried this a while back before 1.75 patch but we survived without too much hassle until we entered the spire.... Then due to mob pathing probs we never got to the bottom of the stairs on the first bit

Some nice drops along the way tho.... GL! and have fun

Tried it three times so far, its tough.

Ran into a bug (i think) one time when returning after being wiped.
The crystals on darkspire had respawned so we thought that destroying them again would stop the constant respawn.
However destroying the crystal just set off the trap again and without the boss there to kill to get the bit to disarm it we were stuck.

Shield is 46+12+Mob2+12% cata bonus for Saranas (forgot the item Pluses) The Cata plus makes him effectively higher then MOB 3 for pve purposes.

And Druid is Perfector.

Due to the ML9 this week, and ML8 tomorrow. going to postpone this raid - to free up a night of farming ML XP.

Ill re-post for another some time soon.

If anyone else would rather carry on with this - just let me know in game or here, and i'll restick the post.

BTW, i have a 16.8 weapon from Darkspire! Had no idea things like this are out.

[Malevolent Darkspire Dirk]: dirk 16.8 DPS 2.7 speed 100% qual 100% con (Thrust) (Offhand). Bonuses: 4 Celtic Dual, 18 Dexterity, 18 Quickness, 6 Dexterity cap, 6 Quickness cap, dmg-over-time Damage per tick: 64 (Proc) (Level 49) Tradeable."

The setup was:
BM, Champ, Druid, Druid, Bard, Warden (pbt is invaluable in there), 2*PBs. No MLs, no RRs. Only thing you might wanna look out for is to take it slow when you're going for the crystals. In case of a wipe, don't rel. Just disband and you'll be ported out of the dungeon.

You get reinvited by the GL, you all go in, he disbands, he gets reinvited, comes back in, and you resume at wehre you left off.

Also you can farm the starting npc twice. Dont talk to him at the begginning, just go in, kill him, then go back, talk to him, kill him again.

That's all I know so far, though they might help.

Final thing: At the final boss, you'll get loads of adds, but stay on the main one, they despawn after he's down.
