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?

4 Repliesthere really isnt a way of seeing a persons real worth until you play with them during a Hard Vault run. its all about trusting that each and every individual can handle their job. if that 1 person dies over and over always shorting your team a player that eventually turns into a wipe. then clearly that person isnt very valuable as a Hard runner. i run Hard mode with my 3 brothers, with me included that makes 4 of us with 2 others from friends list. we dont even do normal runs. we go straight to hard mode first thing on Tuesdays reset. we can run it all the way to Atheon and beat it without a single wipe. depending on which 2 people we invite to help fill a 6 man team. we've even so much as ran it with just us 4 brothers because we didnt have anyone else to invite. and we've beaten it with just us 4 guys once or twice before. the reason why we can run Hard mode so smoothly because each and every single one of us knows our roles. and where to go and how to cover and play. ~im on PS3. and im inviting anyone else whose on PS3. if you wanna witness a team of Players who can literally carry you through Hard Vault in 1 sitting. give me a shout if you are ever looking for a team of Real Raiders. depending on my Brothers if they are willing, we may even be able to help you and others run Hard mode. its just that clearly since we've all cleared Hard mode and wont get rewards.they might not be so opt to help other people do theirs.
