End-game help linkshell - Group Therapy

[limmus]

I am making a linkshell to help statics figure out what they need to do to clear the more difficult BC turns. It will be focused on turns 5 and higher, since turn 5 is the first significant hurdle that statics must overcome. The people in the linkshell can help you identify if the wipes are being caused by strategy, communication, team comp, individual player skill, etc..... and let your static know what must be done to win. If it is an individual player skill issue, we will put you in contact with somebody who can go through the things that are causing that, whether it be rotations, poor set-up of hotkeys, or whatever that might be. Since the people in the linkshell want to help but need to not be overwhelmed by too many requests at once, there are some requirements for seeking help from the linkshell.

Requirements for seeking help from the linkshell
-----------------------------------------------

1. You must have looked at the strats and videos for the fight, and tried to apply them to your static.

2. You must have at least 6 hours total raid time on the phase that you are struggling with and still consistently wiping to the same mechanics. This will make sure the reason you are wiping isn't because you are still uncomfortable with the phase, but because there is something wrong with the execution.

3. Be open to criticism. This will at times be a brutally honest assessment, and if the reason you are wiping is because of poor strategy or poor individual play this will be pointed out. People will not be mean in their criticism, but they will not hold it back.

4. One member of the static must either be able to stream attempts, record attempts, or have skype to use the screen sharing option. We must be able to watch what is happening in order to figure out what your static needs help with.

5. There will be a minimum 2 week timeframe in between petitions for linkshell help for your static. This may be hard to enforce and some may slip through the cracks, but it will be enforced. This is to ensure that your static is given proper time to apply what our advice was, and to see if you still need help or not. You can seek help more than once, but we will need to at least see attempts to improve. The people in the linkshell do have lives outside of the game and as such we cannot donate our time endlessly.


If you are looking for help from the linkshell, you can either idle the PF with a message asking for an invite to the linkshell or send a tell to myself or one of the linkshell leaders, and we will add you to the linkshell. Once your issues have been addressed and hopefully resolved we must kick you from the linkshell. This will ensure that we know that the people that don't have stars next to their name need help, and the linkshell won't stagnate. You may not get help the same night, but we will get to you soon. Also, if somebody wants to apply to be in the linkshell to help out the other statics, the only stipulation at the moment is that you have cleared turn 9 and have an articulable working knowledge of all the BC fights from turn 5 and on.

One final thing to note: nearly everybody in the linkshell already has a static, and as such this cannot be a carry linkshell in any way because of lock-outs. This linkshell is for helping fully formed statics work out the kinks in their strats and execution.
