I understand that- I'm telling you I have more potime parses than I can count where I'm #1 overall DPS, and most of the time it isn't close. Anyways, mostly a moot point, pop era is easy anyways, doesn't really matter what the raid comp is.

It always amuses me how people outside top guilds talk about top guild raiding, calling them "no lifers" and whatnot. When top guilds on live usually get all their shit done in one raid night and have the rest of the week to have a life. TLP is a little different, some expansions necessitate a couple of raid nights, especially on a fast moving TLP with splits. And on launches obviously there's gonna be a lot going on for a week or two. For the most part though every time I see a guild trashing top guilds as no-lifers who spend all their time raiding, it's a guild that raids 3-4x as much as the guild they're trashing just to barely get the same amount done. It's hilarious.

My guild raids two days a week with usually a third day for gold bids or backflagging. They have cleared everything just fine without needing poopsocks.

Xeris is on Agnarr so he's PoP locked forever. So that's a probably a pretty good read on in-era parses, especially once every raid member has BiS. At this point I would assume outside other Agnarr lifers, most of us haven't done Time as many times as him.
And no I've never been in his guild or maybe even talked to him in game, I'm just familiar that he does these time raids from other people.
I haven't done Time in 4 years since maybe mid GoDish on Mangler, but I'm not sure the bane damage on weapons really effects much. Perhaps we shall see on the 25th TLP. I always know rangers as excellent damage with incredibly low effort, which always makes me think of box guilds, so I always take these assertions with a grain of salt.

Ranger x3 would probably be a better choice for ISBoxer DPS artillery battery than 3x zerker, plus you could get it going a lot sooner. Maybe I'll give that a spin

People undervalue rangers because people get stuck on hypothetical bests rather than whats reasonable and normal. A well played ranger is never top dps unless using trueshot, and that makes a lot of people haters, but they really don't suck. You do all your ranged dps with the least worry about positioning or agro of any class, so starting luclin its easily the lowest maintenance in multiple ways. You get arguably the least difficulty in picking up weapons as your access pool is so large, while classes like berserker can struggle if a ton of sks and even war mains want 2handers, or monks if theres 8 billion other monks or bls, or rogues as they have 1 primary slot type.
Or to put it another way, a ber/rog/monk with good raid loot and played well will out dps (except trueshot) a ranger doing the same... by a little bit. A ber etc in group gear and rot/outdated raid gear played on the side, however, will get absolutely smoked by a mediocre ranger.
Yeah PoP(LDoN) locked.
Before Necros get DoT crits, and time is one of the worst zones for good Mages due to MoTM still in effect as well as de aggro mechanics on some bosses.
It's a snapshot in time (pun intended) and should be taken with a grain of salt in the overall TLP lifecycle, when people are in the expacs for 8-12 weeks rather than multiple years.

Posted my Wacky Epic Server idea, we'll see how that goes.
Right about now I think my ultimate 25th server would be Mischief 2.0, Kunark start, no box restriction, all races/classes unlocked from the start, everyone has their epic 1.0 at level 1.
How about a server where everyone starts with their epic 1.0? | EverQuest Forums
The speculation on a Kunark launch server got me thinking of how cool it'd be to have a server where everyone has their 1.0 right off the bat. Just drop...

Dont you need more than 2 war though? It's 5 for a def rota on AoW. Nvm its not scaled to 72 at all.
Most rangers dont do their optimal dps of 4 nuke + dot + kick ( if no aoe to outrange). With all ur focus effects, it adds up to 100 dps in PoP and can make u keep up with shinai monk even without trueshot. I was doing 500 dps which was on par or higher than the shinai monk on both CT and bert with only guardian last night, not sure what they used for disc though.
