Got the red fox down finally. Like 3 min left on timer in a 4 man grp. I did like 52% of the dmg and I suck at the game...

Get used to it bud.

Depends on who you ask - I thought T2 Guardians were easier than T1. But I feel like combat really started to "click" for me in T2? The Abyss dungeons in T2 are only hard cause you have more people. The mechanics in T2 Abyss dungeons for example, if you know the mechanic - you can outright avoid any damage. But in T1, the first boss in Phantom Palace - she could warp to the wall and then do her pizza AoE and you're just forced to take that damage cause the safe spot was in the fucking wall. Its like they figured out that they should reward good gameplay and not make you chug potions arbitrarily.

Yeah, I feel like most of the T2 Guardians are slightly easier as well. Vertus is of particular annoyance in T1, especially if your group is melee heavy.

Will do the next time I get stuck! How are the Tier 2 Guardian raids, do they keep getting more complicated?

T1 Guardian bosses are effectively tutorial bosses. They each serve to teach you something about what's coming in the game.

Ur'nil is there to teach you how to counter. This is why he is slow as fuck and has such a large window to counter.
Lumerus is there to teach you about attack patterns and that Guardians will shift their patterns of attack based on certain intervals.
Legoros is there to teach you about attack opportunities for faster Guardians and getting 'caught', as well as for his jump combo.
Vertus is there to teach you that the tail isn't safe and that breaking a part isn't always the best option (you need to adjust based on what your group is good at).

Unfortunately, Amazon's version of LA is fucking retarded and they upped all the Guardians health pool by about 50%. This is ridiculously stupid as it doesn't add anything to the fights (nor does it make them more challenging, just more tedious).

If you learned all of the above lessons and you're;

1) Able to counter reliably.
2) Able to break parts / adjust to not needing to be always at the tail.
3) Able to avoid telegraphs and shift based on what's needed.
4) Not braindead.

You'll find that T2 is also easy. If you struggled with the above (not a knock on anyone) you'll probably run into some Guardians that are quite difficult. The guides on Maxroll are available for those that like to read up on them and Discord is open for anyone who just needs a carry.

True. Let me remind myself that Blizzard was king of idea theft in its early days.

Not Blizzard!?! Makers of Warha- - - uhh, Warcraft?!

I feel like they redid the loading screens to tell people what to do. I guess its better than a noobie watching a guide video, but oof. lol

I'm honestly expecting AGS to eventually ask Smilegate to send them "dumbed-down" versions of bosses/dungeons at some point.

Nah, these are old. Just got added in the update last night. Probably hadn't been translated yet.

We're doing the last two 8 man bosses for tier 2 tonight at 8 eastern as a guild group. Between the t3 peeps and those of us that have been in T2 for a couple weeks now, should go down much quicker than a pug.

Is there any kind of server transfer service? I rolled on Zosma because my brother rolled there, but he won’t last too long, and I’d rather get to Regulus with the forum crew.

Not really. They just rolled it out in Korea and AGS has basically said, "LOL NOT POSSIBLE FOR US SORRY TEEHEE".

Been trying to pug that with such shit luck - the last 2 zones are just god awful to get done, so instead im working on tradeskill raising!

Damnit. Thanks.

The last T2 Abyss raids were a breeze with forum peeps. Even with hiccups we cleared all three in a fraction of the time it would take to pug them.

So when you guys are doing things on Alts to funnel materials to your main are you just using stash storage? Or similar to Phoenix Plumes, is there a place where this stuff is kept?

I use roster storage for mats that aren't bound. Plumes you can just use, they are stored roster wide.

Ahh ok, looks like a lot of the Honing materials are not bound?
