Aye, we wasted some time that day and had a nice big lunch break but:
Sacristan, Provisioner, Ilron, Bane, Crypt Lord, Dorinakka, Silencer all down and Sanguis was proving jsut as easy when repop occured.

That was with fg though. 3 palas, merc , arms, pbt theurg, friar and cleric.

In theory it should be relatively easy (providing no massive afks) to get upto 2nd horse as 1fg tank group. After that it gets a bit dodgy with adds on the pulls.

The principle is just simple good Guarding, for which any melee mob becomes easy to deal with. With 2 good shield tanks and pbt you very rarely get hit things only become tricky when you have to deal with teleporting Keylords or ones with adds, when its a matter of using game mechanics to get around them.
So long as the mercs watch their aggro you rarely get any problems.

I usually find the biggest problem is people getting bored and sleepy before we run out of keylords to kill.

We actually had one paladin fall asleep at the keyboard :eek7: luckily he had heal chant running so we just kept on pulling mobs to him :flame:

its bloodthorn using eof account .
erm tera is 16 ppl in albion counted as 1,5 fg ?:)

We doing 1fg tank sidi relying on merc with high parry spec and 50 dw bleed style as main agro , teaching paladins not to use heal chant was biggest problem .
Sidi mobs deal mostly slash and crush dmg , only 10% of them thrust so briton merc in chain with 29% slash and 36% crush works better then any plate wearer when it comes to taking some rare hits .
With good planning and little luck with Dorianaka i think is possible kill first horsman with 1 fg but Host can be tricky and killing only 1 of them out of rest hosts seems to stop him dropping.

Buffbot Eof ;) We had I think 3 of em.

And we did nice for our first combined Sidi Raid (DK+TM). Not to mention we only had 1 good group and the 2nd wasn't really a full one or with proper tanks.
