US Lair Style - Summary

Reprint from the alliance board :)
Well i must say that i was atad nervous when i arrived at the lair at 1630 (CET) and there wasnt any one there (except the normal activity and campers on hill).

But soon enough the /t started popping up in droves asking about the event (Sorry if i missed anyone and didnt replied but there was quite a few /t allday, i totally understand how you feel Killgorde ;))

The target are of the day: the ol drakulv pulling at Gjalps house.

We all gathered at the hill for a quick refresher of the days rules.

We lined up and sent out our pullers and we got our first pull incoming. It was only a small pull to test the mechanics, but the following pull was a bigger.

The thanes got the Mjolnirs out. And the Runies got to AEnuke and when you combined the two the mobs fell at an ímpressive rate indeed.

The xp was low per pull, but in the balanced grps the XoT (xp over time) was better than normal grps at lair. One of the problems was dropbags. It was abit tiresome to pick them all up ;).

Another problem was that at one point we were 60+ ppl, chainpulling and AEing like mad. So the framrate went to shit and ppl started to lag around which got us some interesting lagpulls. Especially one was lethal .. of the 60 ppl there only 10 didnt die and LD released.. but the ppl who didnt ld fought to the lastman standing.

After we got ressed, and ppl logged back in a second team was ready to test it out. And got back to pulling again.. tho sometime the pullers got a bit ambitious and pulled quite a few Draks. But this time we were 30-40 ppl pulling like we did earlier and the xp was noticeable higher than when we were 60+. So i guess that if we could keep it at 5-6 FG the xp flow would be optimal, that means that the list will still be here but alot smaller. And good news for the thanes you will be more sought after than healers =).

And healers with aestun will be loved by the tanks.

Well thats all i can think of from the top of my head. I hope we can continue and develop this "technique" and define it til it fits our server. As in my opinion it does work to pull with more than 15-6 ppl, the xp will be a notch lower. BUT isnt it better for the realm if alot of ppl makes good xp then a few makes great xp?.

Now i know that theres more xp spots in our fair realm, but noone wants to go there it seems :cry: .

And finally a BIG THANK YOU! to all the Guilds that showed up (doing this from memory so dont get mad if i miss one :))

Of what I can read Krusha is suggesting a team of 5-6 grp next time with a list. This will probably only give the lvl 43+ a chance and possibly some lvl 40+, but I doubt there will be that many sub lvl 40, unless they are really in need of RM or Healers. I bet there are enough lvl 40+ Thanes around.

Pre 43 theres tons of mobs in Rauma or do the H/N. Thats we did til we hit that "magic 43" :)
[edit]
and 5-6 fg .. thats 40-48 ppl.. so the list will be very rare if any.. at most ive seen was a list with 40 ppl and 4 grps pulling (2+2 leech one by stones and one on small hill) .. but that was ONCE.. since the BGs and CT and VH got itemised in 1.48 there has been 2 grps and like 10-12 ppl (on average ;)) list...

It was fun to finaly see 16+ Draks running toward you and you dont panic
To bad It lagged worse then a Relicraid ( or Alb zerg attack )
I know how I'll build my next group for a event like that.
