Have to agree with ya here, I was in a pug group that made it all the way from raid boss 1 on normal to 5 with most people being pugs

To be fair, the 10 man raids are very easy for the dps with a reception for boss 5⌠there are a few bells and a few things that need to be slowed, but in general you just hit a huge boss and jump some aoeâs.
Iâd say squidy, tank keeper, and boss 5 are the bosses that require the dps to be alert at all times. The rest are just spell and arrow spamming and avoiding aoe.
Mistkeer can kind of and definitely boss 4 on expert can be added to that list as well, and as a dps other than that fights are pretty boring, u have nothing to do especially as a ranger
Was I tanking that one rich?
No Scott was and I tanked raid boss 1 and 4 with him
as a ranger though, i do wish that there were more things for me to do in a raid⌠it is pretty much just spam dps on every boss. no special mechanics other than âdodge the redâ
Ah nice work dude!
Thanks! 20characters
Stonecutters have been doing pugs for raids a few weeks now. We usually get all of normal and 2 of hard mode down. The group comp varies dramatically as well.
rangers only use 2 of there arrows âeverâ, and the trap is unused. Theyâre just generally light on implementation and need more interesting stuff to mix it up.
WRT warriors messing up⌠itâs hugely magnified by bugs. Each raid Iâve been in where there are many wipes, some are turret glitches, some are people crashing, and many are warrior âmy shieldâs gone!â or âI have the hitbox bugâ. With 10 players each hitting some number of issues⌠a LOT of the raid wipes/restarts are purely glitch driven. If those werenât there, it might be a lot better overall.
Thatâs a good point. Warriors are extremely subject to bugs due to the tight margins already imposed on the class. There are numerous ways to navigate the different bugs that come with experience which Iâm sure all the top warriors are well practiced in. Still without those it would be much better. Hopefully these are the kinds of improvements we will see with the new systems in reborn. I imagine moving to all in house assets will help this enormously.
I havenât played for a while unfortunately, but what was written above is all correct, playing as a warrior can be difficult and a single mistake can make the whole group wipe, while on the other side a missed arrow makes no difference. For some bosses where you have to keep performing for a long time, it can be really exhausting.
About the practice dummy for warriors, the only issue is that in a way every boss is unique, and if you want to be a good warrior, you need to get practice with every single boss, as also what Logan said, the placement of the shield can change with each boss too, so based on my experience, this can be one of the most common mistake tanks are making. Also for practicing, my personal opinion is that the best way is to solo non-shard potion keeper. It takes some time (roughly 20 minutes) but it teaches you how to concentrate for longer periods of times, how to manage shield health, you can even practice stunning just before tank buster, dodging AoE and such, so IMO thatâs one of the best ways to practice
