Subject: RE: PoF pulling


I was helping a friend kill spec's early one morning outside the cave and 3
or 4 guilds were marshalling for a PoF raid (first one on our server to be
done a group of guilds rather than by the one power-guild that normally did
it.) I do believe that they used a similar tactic. I think they had a monk
go in and feign - then he train/feigned the crap away (this was pre-feign
nerf I do believe.) Then they zoned the raiders in one - by - one and they
ran to some predetermined spot and camped (if they lived) and logged into
the chat room (passworded). When they got everyone one in the zone, they
uncamped and started breaking the zone.

This raid was led btw by a notoriously disliked lev 50 wizard. Where he got
the tactic from was a surprise to me because the previous time I overheard
him yapping about planes - he was staunchly in favor of "everyone zone at
once and fight it out." But I guess he snuck into several other plane raids
(the guilds doing the raid had to get GM's to warn him out of the zone.)

On Innoruuk, the second wave (or maybe the 3rd) is hitting 50 now. That
means more hi levels than ever before. Pretty soon you will be hearing:

Harmonic tells the zone: "Level 50 Bard looking for a Fear group - will play
mana song in combat!!" <eg>

Sylly Songsynger
<Spirit of the Moon>
Bard of the 38th song
somewhere on Innoruuk

p.s. I thot maybe by new year's but now maybe by valentine's day for me. I
am taking a week off during the holidays so - maybe Harm will charm some
LDC's for me to kill??? (ya I know they are too high to bard charm - maybe I
can find a necro twink me <eg>)

My first idea for PoF was... send me in full buffs, full
everything.
Reso, Rune IV, Camo, Invis Animals, Invis Undead, Invis,
+AGI, +DEX
+STR, +STA, Talisman, Guard, buffs buffs buffs buffs.....
Nekkid
me, with a normal drum, and selo's memmed, and I haul ass.
Hit the
ground running, and collect all the mobs and train them
away from
the portal, away from the SE corner, into the middle of
nowhere then
curl up and die. Immediately following that let everyone
zone in
however they wanted to.
