Ok this is my first attempt to put together a raid group(s) I AM a novice still but I'm studying various videos to try to work out a optimal group but for now this is going to be a more introductory learn as we go based group. With that said here are the prefered gear/classes/positions I'm looking for. Defender titan with saints helm this person will be the one who keeps everyone doing as much damage as possible. Sunsinger. Yeah yeah I know it's not one of the more commonly saught classes but bare with me. This person will keep everyone's grenades (or in Nightstalker/Gunslinger cases smokes/throwing knives) charged for as much dmg as possible during their radiance. At LEAST one Nightstalker (me being one) will be in charge of producing orbs at as high a rate as possible...yes that means well need high int and or bad juju for optimal production as far as I know well be in charge of mobs to give everyone their supers quickly. Gunslinger (again at least one) this is one of those that I would be thrilled to see owning a celestial nighthawk helm for major dmg to the bosses even if its a single burst. Bones of eao are at least hoped for if you wish to run relic other than that use what gear works for your playstyle but during the two situations PLEASE use those items if you have them. Optional Additions: the other spot(s) can be Basicly anything but try to build around dps/team boost if it is within your skill set otherwise just try to be able to do a lot of dmg quickly. Optimal gear: I would love to see hmgs, badjujus, telestos, and anything that hits hard and can do significant damage in short amounts of time. (I.e. Suros regimes, mida multitool, hardlight, touch of malice[before fussing this is a optional if you have weapon it is not required],Zhalo supercell [for our mob slayers], or anything that can eat the bosses alive for primary. For secondaries I would like to see a lot of high impact snipers if possible shotgunners/fusion rifles will more than likely be placed on mob duty as close combat against bosses obviously will be a no go. Heavies will be significantly hindered as this is the only hindering thing I want. Basicly I'm looking for sleeper simulants thunderlords qullims and anything else that can rip holes in bosses that aren't swords (outside of the exotic ark if you must use one for bosses or void if you wish to be mob duty). Ok with that out of the way if you have any adjustments you feel would work better let me know I'm open to suggestions....I'm sorry but as to the level reqs that's not changing I want as many people to learn the raid as possible so if a vet raider will be willing to set aside their pride please lend a hand. Please leave your name down below if you run xbox one or 360 and what position you wish to fill and what times you would be available. This is where things will get a tad hairy but bare with it and either well work together or you'll find a group within this forum. I will not tolerate discrimanteing,hateful,disrespectful comments as I am a firm believer of the fact we were all noobs at one time so as vets it's our responsibility to train the newer generations. One last thing if you dont have a Mic I ask that you be able to follow directions for those with mics ONE person will speak at a time and most be clear and explain things as simply as possible. Well..that's it leave your Info/ideas below and I will try to get with you asap.
