Guild Wars 2

You haven’t specified if you are EU or NA or at least I didn’t notice.

We run several nights per week raids on the EU servers open for everyone, provided they apply themselves at least a little bit. Exotic armour, asc weapons and trinkets is perfectly fine. Lets face it, this is pretty easy to achieve. There are some classes that can work in full exotics – magi druid and some chrono builds.

We have weekly posts on reddit and a few threads here, which I got tired of bumping.

My personal opinion here: Instead of crying out how the world (or the raiding community in this case is unfair), try to apply yourself just a tad and see what happens.

We have killed every single boss last week. Multiple times. We are starting to create statics now.

If you want to join read the instructions in the main post and follow them

We are now at week 17.

Bosses are falling down like flies. If you want to take part, read the main post and follow the instructions there.

Herald isn’t that bad in terms of dps or cc. But it is lower than Temps and thiefs and scepter guards.

Real problem is it lost it’s niche. It cant provide as much might as PS, druids already provide fury (on some bosses protection as well). Having 2 mesmers with moa the cc also isn’t required.

That being said on the training runs we do, we take pretty much everything as long as it is properly geared. You might want to take a look at them:

We generally take everything as long as the gear makes at least a bit of sense.

We run 3 raid nights with 4-6 different raid groups each night.

Sign ups for the new week are up!

Last week we got 13 groups going. We got VG, Gorse, Sabetha, Sloth, Trio, Escort, KC and did training on Xera and Matthias.

If you want to participate you can reply here with what classes you can/want to bring and which days you want to raid (Tuesday 19 GMT, Thursday 19 GMT, Saturday 18 GMT).

You can also join our Discord and sign up there (invitation in main post).

Sorry don’t know much about the NA scene : /

@OP unfortunately I won’t be joining since I already know all the bosses, but props. you are doing some really good work :>

You can always lend a hand with commanding :P

If you can get within 80% of the benchmark is sufficient.

I wonder how many people are actually gonna come after seeing this. I’ve seen MANY players with 250+ LI who constantly and consistently fail to meet this requirement, let alone complete newbies. Good luck.

Hasn’t been a problem so far. We always get between 40-60 ppl and we get various bosses. Think the only one to not kill as a training grp so far is Matthias.

Happy New Year!

If you check Reddit from time to time you might have stumbled upon my posts about creating training groups and teaching people. I have been doing such runs since Augusts of last year and it has been really successful. For a while now we have had more than 1 group running at a time with usually being between 3 and 5.

We organise 3 raid nights per week – Tuesday and Thursday 19:00 and Saturday 18:00 (raid invites 30 minutes before start) UK time on EU servers. Raid will be around two hours in duration not including the time it will take to organise it(Duration can be increased if things are going well or we are very close to getting a boss down). Those that decide to participate, please reply to this thread with your IGN, preferred classes, any comment you might have and be online 30 minutes before raid invites on your desired day. Please make sure you meet the following requirements:

• Exotic or higher armor.

• Exotic or higher back piece.

• Ascended weapons.

• Ascended trinkets.

• Correct food and utilities for the build your are using.

• Complete elite specialization.

• Decent understanding your class mechanics and a raid metabuild. Please review Metabattle or QT. Practice your rotations on the test golem in the Aerodome! You do not need tag to enter. If you can get within 80% of the benchmark is sufficient. Chronos need to practice keeping quickness and alacrity 80% – 90% of the time (get a friend to sit afk in front of the golem). If you need help you are more than welcome to approach us!

• Eagerness to learn. Being there for the raiding itself, not the loot.

• Mental fortitude - not minding wiping for long periods of time.

• Willingness to take personal responsibility for your growth.

• Watch videos read tactics. We will of course explain every boss and role, but it’s nice if you have some idea before going in.

• Have Discord available. Works in a browser, mobile or PC app (recommend the PC app). You also need to be able to communicate in English. Here is our Discord I encourage you to join it even before the raid as there is a lot of information in there.
  Don’t be afraid to ask questions or give suggestions!

At 30 minutes before raid start I will start inviting people in a 50man raid. Everyone will be split by roles in different groups. The comp used will most likely be 5-5 so for every role a random number generator will be used to select the appropriate number of people. (healer condi ps flat dps etc) I apologise in advance to anyone I will not be able to take, but there are only so many spots. Don’t give up!

If there are enough people from the various roles and I can get another commander there will be more than 1 group!

Also don’t be afraid to approach me in game no matter if you have raided with me or not.

Even though there are several groups, there will always be people that are not taken. They generally aren’t happy with me at all. Blaming me for wasting their time. While technically true there is nothing I can do. I am sorry it happens, but there is no way around that. We are getting very few healers and the same for chronos. That means that I have to find substitutes (people with experience from my guild, friends etc) That in turn means that I can take fewer trainees. Simple maths. If you want to have a higher chance to get orient yourself to the classes that are more rare. If you are the type of person that believes that I owe him something, because you signed up, please don’t.

The commanders and I are trying to expand what we are doing massively. We have set up a Discord server where we schedule all the raids give information to people, assist with what we can etc. If you like to join you our community, you can follow this invitation.

We need a few more commanders for Tuesday and Thursday. Leave me a personal message if you are interested.

The event will be streamed on Twitch if anyone is interested.

Sign ups for the new week are now open!

Last week we had 13 groups! 13! We got bosses like VG, Escort, Trio, KC, Gorse, Sabetha and Xera!

If you would like to participate, you can leave a comment here with your classes and the days you would like to participate (times are in the main post). You can do that on Discord as well (link is in the main post).

Toodles

Tomorrow is the next one. Today is off day and most commanders are raiding with their main groups

Last week we had 7 groups in total plus a few off day raids.
We got VG, Escort, Gorse and Sabetha. We had some low % tries on KC and Sloth.
If you want to sign up you can do so hear or using the links in the original post.

P. S. Regarding the bumping an old topic. We are doing weekly posts. Which is better bumping the same topic or creating a new one every week?

We are now doing 3 days per week – Tuesday 19h, Thursday 19h and Saturday 18h.

If you want to join post in here or follow the links in the original post.

We are not planning to stop any time soon

We managed to get 4 groups going. If we had a couple more chronos and healers we could have gotten a 5th one as well.

All the groups got several boss kills.

There aren’t any morning raids scheduled right now : /

Hello all,

I am not sure if I should have posted here or in the players helping players or in the LFG section. If I have made a mistake I am sorry it is my first time on these forums.

If you check Reddit from time to time you might have stumbled upon my posts about creating training groups and teaching people. I have been doing such runs for a several months now and it has been really successful. For the past month and a half we have had more than 1 group running at a time with usually being between 3 and 4.

Bright as I am it never occurred to me to post on the official forums of the game I am trying to create events for…brilliant ain’t I? Here goes:

We organise 3 raid nights per week – Tuesday and Thursday 19:00 and Saturday 18:00 (raid invites 30 minutes before start) UK time I(Roald.1260) will organise another training raid. Raid will be around two hours in duration not including the time it will take to organise it(Duration can be increased if things are going well or we are very close to getting a boss down). Those that decide to participate, please reply to this thread with your IGN, preferred classes, any comment you might have and be online 30 minutes before raid invites on your desired day. Please make sure you meet the following requirements:

• First and foremost attitude. I want people that want to raid for the raiding itself NOT the loot. I want people that don’t mind wiping for long periods of time. I want people that want to learn.

• Know your class. That means have the correct build, food and gear(please review Metabattle or QT I will accept exotic armour ascended weapons and trinkets, commander and viper/sinister can be exotic), but also make sure you have practised the rotation in the Aerodome training area and you can get some decent dps. (I don’t expect you to hit QT benchmarks, but for example if the mark is 24k dps and you get 80% with no food or infusions is sufficient.) Realise that if you aren’t as familiar with your class as you should any boss kill becomes that much more difficult and sometimes impossible depending on your role. This is really important for chronos. Sadly healers cant really practice healing rotations, but I would like to ask them to read up whatever they can find and if they still have questions can approach me here or in game and I will do what I can to help them out.

• Watch videos read tactics about Escort, VG and Trio(have an opener). I will of course explain every boss and role, but its nice if you have some idea before going in.

• Have Discord available. It would be nice if you can speak, but you must be able to hear. People without voice com will not be taken. You also need to be able to communicate in English.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions or give suggestions.

At 30 minutes before raid start I will start inviting people in a 50man raid. Everyone will be split by roles in different groups. The comp used will most likely be 5-5 so for every role a random number generator will be used to select the appropriate number of people.
