Guys, feel like a noob but thought I should come back and set this straight. We did not kill 16m HM Bone. One of my officers and MT swore up and down we had killed this guy, and one said they had the screenshot (when I couldn't find it) from a previous week. We realized a few days ago that the kills we've done were 8 and the screenshot showed that after I got a hold of it. My apologies, did not intend to false claim a kill.

We just figured other people had done it. Didn't even bother to mention it. Thanks. We were taking some shots on NMM 16m before the reset. Pretty rough on healing. That raid wide stomp is tough with having to move around as much as you do.

We got 16m HM Bone 2 weeks ago I believe. We have a couple SS's with HP, they were on the Homepage prior to doing the 4/5 NMM Deal. Edit: 8 days ago actually, from asking some of the guys. Monday before that reset.

This was a bit one sided. Only a couple guys got "aggressive" and they were provoked in many cases. Also they have been asked to stop responding in any such manner. The problem was posted with a fix prior to you writing this, so I have to wonder why you would want to re-hash something that was just noted and addressed with a solution. I can respect your views and opinions, but calling out one guild in a sea of arguments doesn't seem validated. ________ I'd be glad to get together ND. We'll get with you guys sometime over the weekend.

I like Padmay. She came legit. She's right too, all this bad mouthing is getting us no where. I tried to calm it in PM's with a couple of ND's guys, and a couple of my guys helped keep it going afterwards. I'm publicly stating that we're no longer going to respond to the shots, and remarks. The fight has bugs, I think everyone here is aware of that. They exist throughout the game and in endgame content. This does not make our kill or anyone else's kill on any encounter any less worthy, but does state that it needs to be fixed. Much love to all the progression guilds, competition is healthy, bickering is not. Let's keep it on point gentlemen, and show that we have high standards in our raiders, on and off the field.

We put these posts up because some of us play these games for this specific purpose. These posts are to help track who is actually killing things first. If someone else did so, they could have gladly spoken up, though all we hear are randoms like yourself making those same claims, without a shred of evidence, or even a name. Normally guilds that play at this level do so in a sense of competition. For you to state that people would have stressed players to level, and get geared enough to start killing content on pace with the guilds in this thread, but then have zero interest in mentioning it, is silly, at best.

It's called Exotech for Nightmare. It's 136 random pieces. You might find something someone can use but what we've seen has mostly been junk that ended up vendored.

I can only state what we did and how it worked. If, in your eyes, that means we have zero skill and stumbled upon a World First kill, so be it. I'm not here to argue with you about bugs or mechanics. We just wanted to advertise something our guild had done. I wish you guys the best on Soa.

We saw the same damage tearing through our raid. We had a third tank come in and the damage stopped.

I think you fail to comprehend that it's workable with 3 tanks. It doesn't hit tanks for 29k. They will survive it. You just need to stack heals and tanks, and have enough DPS to beat the enrage. 5 healers/3 tanks. Try it.

There was no RNG to our kill. We lost people every attempt to a threat mechanic. Nothing bugged about it. If you had tanks to stay 1st and 2nd on threat after/during the punt, there would no longer be any people dying to an ability meant to only be soaked by a tank. I don't know if I'd go so far as to say "well thought out" rather than it's just a mechanic, and that mechanic being threat. The sole purpose was to advertise a kill, and there is actually a very workable mechanic to pylons that if used it will absolutely not lock up. We are not the first guild to discover this. There is no reason to try to debunk anything we've said or done because you're having issues with it.

Gotta respect a man that can appreciate real music

14k views on this post in 36~ hours begs to differ. There is no need to hate. We have love for the community. If Pylons makes you this mad, you should just put it on Normal where spamming right truly is a method for success. Also you're comparing 16 man raids to 8 man raids on kill times, that doesn't match up. We were killing bosses in EV 6 days after Early Access. The objective was always 16 man, just like 25 in WoW. Props to Irae for getting it done, but 8 man simply was not every guild's focus coming into this game with a bigger roster. The actual mechanic for Pylons will come out in a week or two, and you'll laugh and realize that you were lucky on your attempts only pressing right. It's nothing to get worked up over though. Good luck to you and your guild. We don't mean to degrade you or your progress in anyway. Edit: We also never raided in beta.

I'd have to agree. If that has worked for anyone a couple times, it's been sheer luck. There is an actual strat to the encounter, and it is not spam one side.
