Congrats on killing Vox! I logged on after it was over and
Gallenite informed me that Precept had formed a joint group of
Unbidden/Pantheon people who took her down. I wasn't aware that people
outside those two guilds were also part of the effort or I would have done
more that simply congratulate the guild leaders.

Ack! I lent out my Runed Bone Fork and forgot to get it back,
thanks for reminding me.

It was cast twice then. The AE at full damage doesn't even do
800. ~400 a shot is still high though and I've never seen that much
damage when I was at Vox, even without a bard in my group with Miriana
(Naggy is a different story).

Yeah, unfortunately we have no way of knowing how resists factor
in to the actual damage number, but most people reported dramatic
improvements.

Of fg's, or monsters in planes, or.... Hehe, any multi group
event is "stare at wall" time for me :).

With 48 people, yeah, it's impossible, but with 24 the lag is
managable. The text cues with 24 people are about 1 second behind but if
you're only twisting 2 songs that's fine.
> Although Vox was moving around a lot, I had to compensate to.
Yeah, Vox does seem to move around alot more than Naggy.

According to Gallenite, all 3 deaths were due to LD's (and thereby
unhealable). The real solution is to make 24 people sit in the king room
while the other 24 attack Vox. With so many people going LD if you throw
48 people at something you've cut your effectiveness by nearly half
anyways. Of course, no one wants to have the job of picking the 24 to
stay behind.
