Indications of a SKILLED level 30.
Let me set up a hypothetical scenario here.
Let's say you've decided that you'd like to create a team to attempt to be the first to complete the new upcoming raid.
Obviously you're going to want some skilled players, what sort of skill indicators would you use? Would you just take anyone? Take any level 30s? Or would you look for some sort of indications of skill?
Within earlier periods of the game, being level 30 was a viable way of gauging someone's skill level in the game which made it easier when trying to find decently skilled players to play with.
Now that level 30 has become child's play, it's no longer possible to use it as a skill indication and as such we have to use other methods to determine a players skill level so please, don't take offence when hearing the term "Skilled level 30". I'm not saying you don't deserve it, im just using it a skill gauge.
Therefore I present to you what I look for in a SKILLED level 30:
[b]Indications that someone is a SKILLED level 30![/b]
1. Should have at least 10 hard mode raid completions! (This ones important, skill is grown from experience and as such having a number of raid completions is much more impressive than getting a full set of raid gear in 1 or 2 raids)
2. Must be able to solo the gatekeeper portals. (If you can't do this you need to get better. As soon as someone suggests weakening the gatekeepers first or doing one portal at a time I am immediately aware of their incompetence) Thats not to say you must solo the portals every time. The method I use is heavily dependant on the team im playing with.
3. Should have at least 5 different types of maxed weapons, with a variety of elemental damage and understand when and where each gun will outperform others in order to give themselves a situational advantage. Im sick of seeing level 30s still running nothing but suros, especially during Atheon.
Tbh that's all there is to it. I don't care if you are wearing a piece of iron banner gear, as long as you meet these requirements you'd be on my fire team.
Do you have any indications of skill that you like to look for?

You need problem solvers and people of high skill, and by high skill I mean people that are accurate and don't waste ammo/shots So if you want to run the new raid and try to be the first team to do so you'll need 1. Alot!! of time 2. Problem Solvers 3. Did I mention time? 4.Skilled players, going by a players PvP K/D is the only indicator you could possibly use, this is a requirement to again save time during the raid 5. Players with a range of maxed weapons, void, solar, ark 6. Gjallarhorn, goes without saying, and armor to increase Heavy Ammo 7. But the most important thing is to have a group of dedicated players that will have 10+ hours to fail, fail and fail again before completion Or you could just wait a couple of days for a walkthrough to come out EDIT: changed 6+ hours to 10+, the clan PrimeGuard took 10 hours and had 1,605 deaths before completing VoG
