Title sort of expalins itself. I'm in a casual raiding guild (raiding 2 times a week atm) and we're trying to break into EoF. We've tried each of the different zones once or twice each and I want some opinions. Don't say go back to KoS either. We're at the point where we've killed Tarinax and everyone is pretty geared up. There's no need. We have low turnover so we don't need to go back and regear people constantly and everyone is pretty happy with what they have now.

Anywyas, when we went into Freethinkers and it was a nightmare. We keep getting what I think is the bugged version of the Shredder. He's hitting for 2k dps autoattack and dropping vases every 10 seconds or multiple vases at once. On top of this he's porting up to 8 people to him when we try him.

I read he can bug out so I'm assuming that's the problem. There's a bug with multiple guilds in the same instance, and we're on Kithicor so there are always multiple guilds in every zone. We had one go on our first attempt where he wasn't acting funny and we got him down at 30%. On each attempt after he started porting more people at once and doing retarded things.

On the other hand Mistmoore seems doable. We fought the first name and the third orange mob and they were very doable. On the first name we feel we're getting a strategy down and got him to about 20%. On the orange guy he got him to 3% and then he did his big heal and aoe and we're looking for ways to counter it.

Well anyways has this been your experience too? Does the actual progression in EoF go:

CMF
MiS
FTH
EH

What do you think? Should we keep doing MiS or try FTH and pray we don't get a bugged instance?

I think Freethinkers and Mistmoore's Inner Sanctum(besides Mayong) are on about the same level of difficulty. With clockwork menance being the joke of the expansion.

Clockwork Menace Factory is a joke... it's definently the easiest, and Freethinkers and Inner Sanctum aren't far behind

Well according to the Nagafen server clockwork was pretty hard as Havoc and Kraken just beat it Sunday night..

Certainly gives me a little chuckle...

K sounds good, because we're always getting the bugged version of FTH we consider it about 10 times harder then MiS. Then again if they fix it we don't want to be always doing the harder MiS when we could be doing FTH if it's supposed to be easier.

Raiding 2 days a week sort of narrows your choice. CMF and MiS it is.

I would go with Inner sanctum and Freethinkers if I was only raiding twice a week. They are about the same difficulty and both give a lot better loot than Clockwork Menace Factory.

Iskiab

Well we were worried about getting a bugged instance of the zone.

I just saw a dev post on the forums where they said the Shredder has been fixed. Supposedly he wasn't resetting properly after a wipe. I could have told you that... first go to 25% and next goes weren't getting him past 95% heh.

Now that he's been fixed yea we'll switch to FTH and MiS.

Simple solution to the bugged zone: Dont wipe.

Anyways for the real point of this post...

But I thought Havoc was the best guild ever and they were going to prove it to everyone in EoF? Hell, nothing that anyone gives a fuck about has even been killed anywhere worldwide yet, but they already on the short bus.

Clockwork Menace Factory is pretty easy lol... its definitely the Lockjaw or Rognog of the expansion.

To answer the OP though:

Clockwork Menace is by far the easiest raid.

Freethinkers is by far the second easiest.

Inner Sanctum is a complete joke except Mayong.
