What is your least favorite raid?

Personally I say HoS, tons of roamers and most of the trash is harder than the named in this zone, the trash kinda reminds me of the PPR(upper levels) stuff but less annoying. The only really fun fight in this place is Bloodbeast and even then he goes down first or second pull usually, Venekor's room is bugged to hell and the nature of the venekor fight (stick on the wall so you don't get tossed at a golem) makes it exceedingly boring. Venekor himself is probably the easiest or second easiest named in the zone.

Also, my guild has had terrible luck with Venekor, out of our first four kills we got a blood ember brestplate and three ancient mithril staffs. On the 5th we got an ancient vorpal blade though. Bloodbeast was being a stingy sob with the chain gloves too, I think we got 2 leather gloves, 2 shitty axes, 2 cloth gloves and a set of plate gauntlets before he decided to drop the chain.

On a sidenote, Deathtoll comes a close second because we've gotten nothing but 2 handers and hover platforms (with the occasional vultak ritual doll that everyone loves so much) from Fitzpitzle while another guild on the server got thorax on their second run.

I put down lyceum because most of the loot is pure ass and the essence flat refuses to drop my damn dirk. Vilucidae is the only fun fight really.

Lyceum is fun for DPS, HoS is only fun when the summoners play random petname games to see who we can make high on the parse...

The loot in Halls of Seeing is so unfuckingbelievable worthless that I forbid any of my characters to wear any of it. The shit has so many weird odd prime numbers on the stats combined with FT1/FT2, you'd think that they put an intern on the itemization just to rush it out the door and had a hard total stat cap put on to keep the kid from getting ridiculous. Normally an item would have 100 health, 100 power. But no, this fucking shit has 76 health, 103.7 power or some fucking shit. Dead giveaway when I see HoS loot.

PP:R is by far the single most drawn-out, tedious raid zone in the game. An example of what NOT to do. I refuse to ever run that zone again for as long as I live.

P.S. Wearing the Cowl of Suffering is nothing to brag about. Please unequip and vendor it.

lol, yea that was the raid that literally put people ot sleep...

i voted lyceum because the last guy is gay, he is always buggy it seems he gets really hard at the last 13%, he exits his stances randomly sometimes, sometimes he stacks a few stances sometimes.

hos is also annoying and the names are easier than the trash for the most part..

but my vote is lyceum for the last guy and this zones loots its almost always gay

If you like these - wait till you see the "wizard" collection - it's awesome, a complete set of robe wearing smileys with wands and such, and many are evil. I just need to get the artist to convert them for use with a dark background.

The same artist also makes "Retard of the Month" and "Asshole of the Month" graphics for use on forum sites like this one, but they all have the white background also.

Fook boards with light backgrounds, it soooooo limits my choices!
