Did the T5's and Ig-Alima.
Thought it seems like most people are too busy exping to care about vw, we'll be doing some more T6's friday night.

Did you guys successfully kill Ig-Alima? What kind of strat did you use if so?

Went 1/3. Was pretty late and I was tired so wasn't paying a whole lot of attention. Probably would've done better but a lot of us were still 95-96 and some people were slacking the hell off on procs. We generally just use mnk and war tanks, so rely a lot on procs/fanatics. Worst was a TP move that does doom and weakness. Maybe someone that was more alive than me can comment on the fight more, sorry >_>

Did Ig-Alima again last night. It's not even a challenge if you fight it Qilin style. Fastest we took it down was 4 mins 23 seconds. Nothing he does gets through fanatic's so as long as you keep procs coming it's impossible to die unless you have an incompetent group or unlucky streak of procs.

Gonna do Botulus Rex in 30-60min. Mostly looking for some competent Cors. Send a tell to me or Llew if you're interested!
Incoming wall-o-text...
Many of you may or may not have seen (or been part of) Llewelyns and mine's sh groups for VW. First and foremost, this isn't a recruitment thread. We do shout groups, and shout groups only. We're hoping to find some people that are interested in doing fights without the commitment of a ls. Linkshells turn to burn out easy, and no one likes doing the same nm 50 times over. This is an easy way to join select, efficient fights of your preference.
What's expected of you:
All melee dds outside of Drg and Drk need to have a relic, emp, or woe weapon. This is non-negotiable, outside of maybe city T4s.
You stay for all 4 battles when we make a group, unless something pressing RL requires you to leave. This means no leaving after the third fight if you only have 3 stones. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but it sucks making 15-16 people wait 10+ minutes for a couple people to pick up another stone. Jeuno t1's aren't hard, you can trio/duo the abyssite for a 4th stone.
If you don't have the warp or an easy way to get to the nm, please, please head out there a little early. Nothing sucks more than gathering everyone up in sky for qilin only to see that someone is just coming from the ZiTah OP.....
You need to have some sort of basic reading comprehension. Everyone misses chat from time to time with battle spam, but if you keep missing/ignoring instructions and procs, you probably won't be invited again.
You need to at least moderately decent at the class you play, which includes having all the appropriate proc spells, proc weapon skills, etc, for your job, and more importantly, knowing what they are. If you're a whm who takes 5s to stona, or a war who doesn't have great sword leveled, you probably won't be invited again.
If you have temps, for the love of god USE THEM. Fanatics, fools and potions are your friend.
Try to be nice. If you're generally acting like a total douche-bag, you probably won't be invited again.
What's not expected of you:
You don't have to come to any fight you don't want to. If you never want to see Akvan again after getting Heka's Kalasirs, no one cares. You're not going to be docked 50dkp or show up on our shit list if you don't want to join whichever fight we're doing. As long as you do your job well, we don't care if you only join one group a month.
This is a total non-commitment deal. If you get the one piece of loot that you had your heart after and don't want to come again, no one's going to hold it against you.
What to expect from us:
Many people are probably thinking "lol shout group". However, outside of two instances, out of over hundreds of fights, they have all gone smoothly to excellent, with only 2 complete wipes. We've done everything except Aello (don't really want loot from her!), killing most in under 10min, and easy things like Qilin usually before he spawns his first add.
Groups take anywhere from 20min to an hour to fill up.
Sometimes fights will get a little messy. That's life. No nerdraging/rage quitting over mistakes. We often get people who are new-ish to vw or who have never done the nm we're about to do, and mistakes happen. If people are very obviously messing up, they just won't be invited again.
What to not expect from us:
We don't do vw at regular times. Sometimes we /sh at 5pm, sometimes at 5am. If you're looking for something regular, this probably isn't for you.
Unless we really, really like you, no, we won't help you climb or get KIs. Sorry.
After we get what we want from nms, we probably won't do them often after that. Again, no one likes doing the same nm 50 times over, including us.
So, what's the point of this? Basically we're just hoping to find a few non-retards that we can /tell and ask along so groups fill up a little faster.
Sounds great, how do I join?!
Either befriend myself and/or Llewelyn, or reply to this thread. Let us know what geared jobs you have, and what nms you're interested in. When we're planning on making a sh, we'll send you a tell first. If you want to come along, great - if not, we'll try you next time.
Edit: forgot to add which nms we'll mostly be doing! This is subject to change.
