[TheKhronos]

maybe i would have, maybe not. the world will never know. but like i said, mad over a kill? i dont think so. if anything, im just egging them on because they got my friend banned just for trying to help us out (they made it personal when they cost him RL cash). whether its wrong or right, they should have minded their own business if they were so "done" with us. but i remember them talking shyt in channel (losing focus on their VP raid) before i made any comment in channel to them. MOMMY... they started it!!!

Oh, sory belara, you didn't change your tag on flames yet, so I thought you were still with unamed. Somehow or another, the mistmoore newsletter stopped being delivered to my house a long time ago.

So, spin doctor for revolte now. I miss your mommy voice.

Wait a minute...when you say like corsolander...you mean those guys pulled druushk INTO the middle pillar where his model was actually inside the pillar to circumvent his dmg shield like people use to do to exploit corsolander? or you guys pulled him near it and fought in the center?...there is a difference...a big one

The hardest thing about druushk is picking expendable classes to do statues...Nexona you have expendable classes to pick, adds to worry about that habitually switch targets at will, come at a much faster pace and prone to warping as well, a time limit to kill those adds, a time limit to progress the script, mob healing up a full percent the longer the script isn't progressed. A SECOND script that adds to the encounter at a certain point in the fight...Penalties for over dpsing, penalties for under dpsing.

Dude you're crazy if you think nexona is only a "little" harder than druushk...Druushk isn't that bad, infact, finding 2-4 expendable people is the hardest part, but nexona can give anyone problems if they aren't on the ball throughout the encounter.

you just need an offtank who doesn't suck and a raid who understands what they need to do and do it. nexona didn't take any longer for us to learn than any other mob so really, i'm not sure why WW guilds are having issues with it for months at a time, unless it's due to training apps on the fight and constantly screwing it up for them.

maestro is about on par with nexona, slightly more difficult to learn what each script is doing and performing it. now byzola/trakanon i might agree, are infinitely more difficult to learn and use common sense to figure out.

if you don't have someone feeding you strats that is..


for the damage shield i think he might be referring to pulling druusk onto the corner of the pillar and use the line of sight to block the reactive spikecoat(just guessing because honestly i didn't even think about this being a bug on druushk). if it's true, i'll admit it's kinda cheesy but it's been a bug for years now. i just hate to see people resort to it to need to kill a mob for the first time, we(in previous guilds) used it as a method to kill corsolander quicker on subsequent pulls but never had to resort to it to kill him the first time. i don't have all the nifty tools of guard and i've tanked druushk in mainly pre VP farmable gear, it just takes patience, 1p1k in fact with no real issue.

if that statement is true, well then the victory will be short lived as Nexona is even more difficult comparatively to properly doing druushk.

first i should say i have nothing against evre and khronos, i know my guildies and them had issues when their guilds split. no hard feelings from me man.

also neither the mob nor any of the raid force was inside the game mechanics when we killed him, as far as i know we didnt use any exploit to kill him, or bug him in any way.

the main reason i mentioned corsalander is because that was what i thought khronos was talking about, and that was never considered an exploit for that mob as much as being part of the strat, so why would it be any different with druushk.

i dont have much more to say other than when you all see the server spam for the other mobs in the next few, it should clear things all up np, not saying we are gonna drop nexona tomorrow, it took us 3+ weeks on druushk, but thats what progression is all about, keep at it till u figure it out.

Druushk has a damage shield?

apparently not anymore..

avoiding it i guess could be considered a strat, i never really much cared for penalizing melee classes even further on these nameds. i always just ranged and debuffed, which is what most melee do for it in the interim between adds, which sure makes your parses turn to shit. it was just a warning though, as it would give you an unfair advatage during that fight which you will need to pick up 2 fold for nexona.

This method for killing Druushk is not an exploit. Some people may think it's cheesy or whatever, but it was legit. I say it was legit because it was a strategy developed (No, I'm not saying Revolte developed the strat...) around the physics SoE designed themselves (No, Druushk was not somehow forced inside the pillar, nor was the raid force). This LoS mechanic has been the same for nearly 4 years.

It's not like having a brawler FD on the statue to stop Hurricanus from spawning adds or something (Not pointing fingers, it's just the only exploit I know anything about). SoE designed their physics engine to work this way, narrow line of sight and all, and have left it like that for years, so how can it be an exploit? We didn't do anything to bug out the game's code.

Actually, I believe the only exploit for Druushk was pulling him back to Ekron's spawn point so it's adds would break, but thanks to Aeralik that got fixed. Hah.

Anyways, not trying to shit on anyone, or anything like that. Just saying, it's not an exploit.

I hope I put in enough detail to avoid people misunderstanding me, and subsequent flaming!
