Most guilds haven't changed much tbh. From a roster point of view, I can't remember looking on Eq2players and thinking, "Shit, looks like they're struggling".

you gotta be in Rebellion to struggle in RoK

I don't think any guild has failed the trial of anyone due to gear. The closest I ever saw to gear requirements anywhere was Dissolution saying they would accept a well-geared mage only sometime during EoF because "Mages were hard to gear up". Tanks are mad easy to gear up, and you can tank just about anything in mastercrafted anyways.

I remember Unity posting just that a while ago.

OK isn't really a tough fight tbh. It's fun but I guess Venril is the real problem. Even though it's crazy how easy he is once you tell your guildies to focus.
Still: Killing OK will be a nice accomplishment.

Turnaround at the start of an expansion happens to most guilds.
We've had like 6 recruits or so while we were progressing.

Get the bard fast then or The Vision will steal him/her. I think they're desperate to get a dirge.

Good luck.
Honestly.

I actually agree with that. Better to have a few pulls even if you're not able to kill them. Cause once Fable has them on farm status you won't get time to practice them again.

I'm willing to bet 10p that you won't get to kill a single Avatar till the next expansion is out.

You up for it? (Yeah, i know 10p isnt much but i'm constantly broke)

Yeah, perfect example - Unity posted that "Overking was going to die for sure Sunday, then Venril.....". Guess what, it didn't. Pre-posting kills is bad, it almost sets you up with bad karma to fail from the get-go :p

Actually, the only guild that would be capable of "plucking one from beneth us" is Validus, they have proven it in the past (Tranquility and PHH anyone?).

Wasn't Silverwing/VP supposed to have dropped soon also?

LOL, i totally missed this gem.
You can tank VP in mastercrafted T8 gear. Fabled t7 stuff didnt help much at all.
Just some overpowered avatar loot like stoneskin boots makes a diff.

I can't wait to see what they can possibly drop to get the scouts to swap out the robe.

Whatever it is, I want it!!

I'm looking forward to more experiences like Mischief. That kind of stuff is what it's all about!
