[quote]- There is no such thing as a mandatory weapon loadout for raiding. When raid leaders or groups insist on these, it's usually as a crutch because they lack the skill or coordination to use anything else. You take a risk by joining these teams. Things tend to fall apart when things don't go to plan, because usually they lack the ability to adapt[/quote] all in all good post! only thing tho, there are not completely mandatory weapons if you are skilled but some loadouts would be just plain silly, and its up to experienced players to educate the less experinced, if someone came in as a hunter and is running baldedancer using a an auto rifle, fusion rifle and sword on the warpriest im going to tell them to change that pretty damn quickly, its not a lack of skill recommending loadout when the primary focus of a lot of encounters is max dps ✌

  • Yeah a lot of people are responding in this manner taking the other extreme. I've only said there are no mandatory weapon requirements, which remains true. The fact that there are also undesirable loadouts is also true, but doesn't disqualify my original statement. Making an LFG requirement of "no AR shotgun and sword combos" would be reasonable. But that isn't what I'm talking about and isn't the problem we really face. The problem is when people put up "must have black spindle and touch of malice" for an oryx run, which is just pure nonsense. I did a raid the other day where we got to the end and some guy was insisting that I get my touch of malice out for the oryx fight and that it was impossible to detonate all 16 orbs without someone with ToM shooting oryx. This sort of misinformation is bred by stupid reinforced ideals of weapon loadouts that only have become a trend due to people relying on gear to get them through encounters rather than skill first, and [i]then[/i] gear as a bonus. Needless to say I told him he was talking crap, and I just shot oryx with my handcannon and we downed him fine. Afterwards he still moaned that people should by default bring ToM.
