Venril is a decent script, it just doesnt take into account that most guilds, certainly the casual ones, and maybe even the hc ones, have a handful of inattentive slags who cannot manage the pressure of having to watch your impairments and coordinating power gain/loss while doing what they usually do, thus reducing it to luck whether the good players get the drai, or the slacking ones. As it stands, imo VS is harder than f.e. Druushk, and that is bullshit.

CoD gets a lot of votes, but that's probably from people who have cool tasks, like going inside and clearing solo mobs. As an MT healer, it sucks major cock. You see nothing, you press your buttons, throw some heals to the other groups, yawnfest.

I voted for Pawbuster, because you need a strat for it, even a different aa spec possibly, you need positioning, fast cures, attentiveness toward the cleave stun aoe. reward vs t ime investment sucks, aye, but zones such as PR are too easy imo. Loot should be earned. Kor-sha I don't like because the first encounters are retardedly easy, then the twins have a huge luck factor (mt healers getting ported 5 times? wipe), and OK's fiery adds still have the tendency to bug out.

There is no luck factor on the twins if properly fought.

Overking doesn't need to be fought in such a way that the draughts have a chance to bug.

PR is too easy because the majority of the gear out of it is complete shit and is only worth looting in order to cycle your guilds smart loot and to add plat to the split or wind up with a few manas.

As an MT healer, your job is always to *gasp* heal. So while it doesn't make the fight any different for you than normal, it is a difficult fight, which is something you just kinda asked for?

By token of your previous post, Pawbuster "sucks major cock" for people who aren't healers, because they have to be cock blocks for the "hits the x amount of closest people" stun. Healers can sit in the back and avoid the stun. If you have people who need to change AA's to kill Pawbuster, I'm surprised you are in VP.

Blah.. so you can avoid every single death on the twins encounter? For casual guilds, the loss of an mt healer is quite dire. You're right about the OK adds, but just working around the bug doesn't stop the bug from being annoying after so many months of it being known.

And hey, I didn't try to be just with Levi vs PB. Levi sucks for me, PB might suck for the scouts (although they're cured within 1 or 2s, so why would they bother). /shrug It still tints my perception of said encounters. As an MT healer, healing is always my job, right. Question is, who can I heal in addition to the MT, and can I cure other people because they're perma-stunned/stufflied, or can I stun or daze a heroic add that slipped, or do I need to time temporary buffs properly (sanct on druushk) instead of the temp buffs being pointless... or do I need to control my power etc. Most of the time, anything beyond pure healing is a welcome change.

And yes, it's no shame to say that some clerics spec for Steadfast for PB. Is it a shame to admit for casual players?

Where's the "they all suck" option? It's not that CoD is the best raid zone in RoK, more like..it's the one who sucks less, so guess there goes another vote.

I can't stand Thuuga trash. The couldnt possibly be more annoying and boring.

Shard of Hate, definitely.

VP has Nexona (minus the DPS cap) which is cool, but you did say RoK raid ZONE, and the rest of that zone is full of shit with bags of hp who do nothing. And it has Milyex which is like automatically -100000 cool points to any zone with it there, you could add all of the cool mobs in the game to VP and I'm not sure it would counteract the stupidity that is Milyex.

Now that they've fixed P'Tasa, there's 3 mobs in Hate that are actually well designed. Maybe 4 if you count Malevolence / Ire, which are easy but at least they have a script which is more than you can say for 99% of other mobs.

They just need to make the 2 yellow nameds in there actually do something, anything, and you'd have a cool zone.
