It's about $45 an hour and some change, but salaried w/ benefits. It isn't bad, but it's not the $180k->$250k I should be making.

Eye of Veeshan is level 70 and the highest raid mob in classic.
I believe Hand of Veeshan has higher damage output though and is thus the hardest mob in classic. IIRC it hits harder than Trak with melee attacks.
I think this is because HoV is a melee mob (warrior?) with quadding while EoV is a caster of some sort, or a non-quad class. Could be wrong, Eye is a blind spot for me (no pun intended) because I've never led a full Sky raid and only partook in one probably 3-4 times. My least-played EQ endzone by a lot.

RL Friends dragged me into this one about a week ago. The 4 of us have a strong group make up, and end up with 2 PUGs. All but one of them have actually been really great at their role and nice in game. The other was a light green conning enchanter that I'm pretty sure was run by a chatbot AI program, just without the nice Clarity timer.
Mostly correct, but...
Both HoV and EoV are warriors and are mostly similar in terms of both having DT and both able to proc a 500 hp lifetap on melee attacks and ripostes, but they do have 3 distinct differences. HoV has an unresistable rain spell, HoV has much higher dps output from melee attacks, and HoV can also duel wield. So in general for most guilds, HoV tends to be the hardest fight in classic.
However, like the majority of boss fights, there are legitimate (non-exploit) ways to make HoV trivial even with a small crew similar to how you can make queen bee trivial, both with just various ways of countering their mechanics or using their mechanics against them. None of which I can see being done according to the video. It's kind of like Trakanon in Kunark. You can make killing Trak just as easy as killing something as simple as Sev, or you can do what most guilds do and make killing Trakanon way harder than it needs to be.
To put in to context with how easy you can make HoV, even a duel wielding one, 1 month in to classic TEB had already done a triple pull kill of HoV + EoV + Sister at the same time all next to each other.
How long before RI gets a 7 day for all of the mobs they have "raced" and circumvented Encounter Locking on?

Well now that I have hit 50 and got my monk robe, I'm thinking of rolling an alt because boredom and wanting to take advantage of that sweet sweet 10% bonus experience from legacy lol.
This very well might be the only server that I run only one account on 90% of the time because of the ability to hand down all the heirloom gear and the bonus experience from having max level characters.

It's easy to find 2 other people that fit into a clique that carries their weight fairly well, but finding more than about 24 chucklefucks that aren't playing optimally, or won't bring subpar classes to raids is fairly diffcult without starting to fill out a full 72 person raid.

its p easy to understand. if your guild kills a raid mob you get loot. if another guild kills it, you dont get loot. loot > no loot

100 guys stacked on a mob trying to be more asshole than the others to get the loot, i am too old to appreciate doing it now i guess
