Things that need to change for the better

[Dubont]

There are plenty of non "elitist pricks" getting past initial aggro of the Ogre. Some have killed it, most have surely gotten him down to 50% or less by now. You're doing something wrong. Go look around for strategies if you really can't figure it out. I find it difficult to believe that not even one person in your party is competent enough to form a decent strategy on their own. But yea, there's some decent info out there if you look for it.

we have tried many strategies. Some have been our own and some have been other peoples. If we do manage to get past the first AoE rapefest, which doesn't happen often, it is usually followed by the melees getting nuked down in a matter of seconds becase of, once again, AoE spam. You can only do so much with a CON and THM.
