A8 Farming

[Cwestcott18]

I always enjoy going with the FC, first of all there isn't the crappy calling someone out for the little things, and creative criticism, although rolling on anything is pain and stupid to say the least, if only they would of learned something from the first 4, people always bickering.

Put it at 7 weeks for non-savage clearers since they need to do 7 for a High-Capacity Tombstone for weapons. And thats if they are only going for one.

That will just be a once weekly clear though, not repeated runs to get a specific drop.

Which is still more than Gordias had going for it.

I couldn't pass faust in a5 on my alt. Had easy solution - I had all languages checked. After I removed all but E, killed it first try

If you were repeatedly having trouble clearing the trash in Alexander Midas when most people have been getting by just fine then maybe the problem wasn't the english speaking community. Just saying.

Honestly I do my midas when its reset and with fc or LS. But when I help others and I can't get enough help due to people either raid, do seph or simply isn't logged on, we do duty finder. When you have 6-7 different groups and they enrage from 40-5%. What is wrong? I'm not going to blame certain classes here, rather than the players who play them. I've also had groups where I ask in a very polite and nice way if anyone doesn't know the mechanics and no one replies. So I asume they know it but they keep die to the same thing. How do we solve that? Honestly I¨ve had enough and even told them multiply of times how to do it, so the response is: We know what to do, we aren't stupid, go get a life. Really? And people say elitist pricks are bad? What about those 70% scrub players who keep saying this? You aren't excactly better if you keep talk shit like that.

If only. I have work that doesn't leave me with a very good schedule for having a pseudo static.

What server are you on? I'm on Hyperion and could run it with ya and try to round up people.

[CGMidlander]

Easier said than done, unfortunately. Finding seven other people to get online at the exact same time can be very tricky - especially with conflicting schedules/time zones/interests.

With that said I generally find that the Duty Finder is generally decent. Yes, I get bad groups - but the majority are generally pretty good. If you're wiping more than once, though, sometimes it's best to just leave and try again.

It doesn't have to be a static. lol
Just pick a bunch of people who are on at the time and you know aren't DF-quality bad. That's what I did for my Midas NM items this week.
I snagged some people from a hunt linkshell, a pvp guy I know, a guy from my FC, and a couple people I regularly see in Idyllshire. (This was at 12AM PST/3AM EST, so pretty late.)

I feel that limiting the shaft only to this one (and the chain only on the first section) was a poor decision.

I find A7 to be more of an issue with DF groups than A8.

[Ebonwings]

Yea A7 is harder in a DF be cuss we need a tank swap ( less burden on healers) difficult if OT is jailed so MT has to use heavy cooldowns, avoiding weight of the world. These are mostly the hardest parts. The rest are just matters of dpsing the boss and adds.
