    different T9 DB strat?
    when I was practicing it in my data center, DF only ever used one strat for it.
    Tank brings everyone to 1st DB, then when the mark comes, everyone else goes mid while the 2nd DB marked goes to the other position.
    what's the other strat? * really curious* xD

    oh and what are those A1S strats?
    I might need it for practice later

Besides which, even if you did somehow end up with that miracle 7/8 group that cleared it for you, all you'd get out of it is the page. No chests, just 1/4 of an accessory.
    different data center, different community I guess.
    I rarely see trolls in my DF. and I mean RARELY as in almost never.
    And my main reason to do it would be to practice. I get more practice in DF than PF.
    and if it goes in DF, I'm sure the lock out would be like alex normal now. *maybe*

Ultimately, the reason it's not on DF is because SE doesn't want it there. Whether or not they put it there in the future remains to be seen, but I wouldn't expect it anytime soon.
    I just ignore those people.

    My static learned a method for divebombs where you leave the waymarks in place and just call out where to run based on how many dragons are showing in the northwest side of the arena. It caused a hell of a lot of problems when we'd PF and the pugs either didn't understand or weren't even willing to listen. I dunno about any differences in strategies with A1S - I've only ever run it with my static. I was talking about A1 normal. Some people prefer to have the OT provoke the add but honestly, it doesn't work very well.

    Unfortunately, it's far too early in the life of the content to unlock it that way.

    how are people still having problem with A1N?
    eh, DPS can deal with adds faster there.
    everyone in my FC solo DF Alex normal every week.
    usually done in a day depending on your luck with loot xD

    you should DF more lols :P

    yup. I guess one of the reasons SE won't put it in DF this fast is content longevity.
    oh well. I'll be patiently waiting for the time when I'll be smashing my head to the wall due to DF practices

    truer words have never been spoken. Sigh....

    You can still wipe easily in A1 normal if people aren't on the same page with things like who has the adds, how the split is being handled, etc. As easy as it is, if you don't follow mechanics it'll still bite you in the ass.

    I've only ever run it with my static
    you should DF more lols :P
    And you should read my post again. I said I've only ever done A1S with my static.

    S = Savage.
