make a guild group together?

[desolin]

Ok, so the pug like style of rvr is starting to drive me crazy... I was wondering if we could have eight people all make new toons(yes, start from scratch) together and form a new rvr group, only getting on the toon in the group when all eight members are on. All staying the same level and same RR(eventually). We could post weekly times that we would get on. It would be fun If you are willing to participate or are interested please post here!

PS: Please be willing to commit before sign up... though I would like to get eight people

Yes Deso, actually the goal for Oboo is for RvR. I run nightly 8man's and RvR BG's (zerg). I always go for Oboo first.

For example last night we were making 5,000rps/hour in our 8man.

Twiz/Barth/Whosh/Oni/Me/You all active 50's we have. We have PLENTY enough to fill an 8man in and more. This is why I keep telling Oboo that Oboo is a first priority in RvR and that PUG's/PvE is second if you're able to.

At the moment we have plenty of members to fill in spots for an RvR group--every night we have 2+ pages of members on. You don't really need a hardcore setup of players either, just a basic understanding that first you need 2 or more good cleric's, dps and group utility (like arms, pally, cabby, merc/banelord).

DPS:
Fire Wiz
Body Sorc
Spirit Cabby
Air Theurgist

Healing:
Cleric (40+ rejuv)
Heretic (DI 2-3 high rejuv. spec)
Friar (Static Tempest, DI, Heat/Cold/Matter resists)

Utility:
Tri-Spec Cabalist (AoE Disease, Interruption Pet)
Air/Ice Theurgist (Interruption, DPS, Speed etc.)
Mind Sorc (higher mind than body or 39/35 split spec)
Earth Wizard (50 Earth)
Banelord Tank (Banelord for the group utility)
Armsman (Group purge)

Tanks:
48 Chants (almost all pallies spec high chants) Paladin (End. Reg)
Charge Merc (aka Oni)
Bodguard Tank Arms/Pally (Group Utility)


So for example:

I'll take 2-4 dps classes, 2 healers (usually I want 2 clerics, but it depends) and 1-3 tanks (tanks that is with group utility).

Wiz
Cab
Theurg
Cleric
Cleric
(Extra Slot)
(Extra Slot)
(Extra Slot)

Fill in what you want. But you should AT LEAST have 2 healers and 3 DPS/Utility nukers. Wiz being the main DPS nuker (FIRE). Extra slots for tanks or you can make it all casters. You also always need a Sorc and at least one Sorc.

You could also run:

Sorc
Sorc
Cabby
Theurg
Wiz
Cleric
Cleric
Bodyguard Tank (Arms preffered for group purge too)

That caster group above works VERY WELL.

You could also run
Friar (S.Tempest 3, DI 1-3)
Ice Wizard
Reaver (TWF)
Paladin (End. Regen/Bodyguard)
Cleric
Cleric
Sorc (Mezz)

*That group config would be really cool to try out. Basically, the friar would S.tempest and then the Reaver drops TWF and the Ice Wizzy goes in w/ the Pally bodyguarding and drops the 8man dead to the ground. Basically a good group for stopping the people in their tracks and "bombing" them fast.

Yeah im just looking to maybe get a few people together to form a really tight group of guildies that all made toons together and have played together since the beginning of that toon. So we are all like the BEST on the server

This concept Deso in my Pellinor guild , is called a Croabh (Old Irish Word). It is formed from 5-8 players that are on at similar times and get along very well. THey fight thru the BG's , level together and really learn how to work with one another. sometimes We start them at thid, sometimes at Molv.

It is a good idea and promotes a good learning curve and cooperation among the players.

No where in there did i see the first thing about a minstrel....

/gquit and reroll mid inc


=(

Sounds like an awesome idea, but right now my rl schedule doesn't afford me the set time to do things like this...

There's a ton of different group set ups, but alot of albs like cookie cutter tank or caster groups... Which is sad, since in the other two realms, hybred groups reign supreme...

I don't think Friars get DI do they? and you didn't mention a mins for support or in a tank group, or really any form of tank groups...


One Hybred Tank groups would be...

Sorc
Theurg
Cleric
Cleric
Merc
Merc
Utility
Utility

*Utility being...* Reaver, Second Sorc, Trispec or pw/serv Necro for uber interrupts, Trispec Cabby<3<3, Mins, Higher enhance or (Dare I say it)smite cleric for stuns/shears, TankTic/Castertic, BG Arms, BG Friar or ST and style heals on tanktrain, Pally for endo/celer on train...

Or many more choices Can all make amazing groups, It's all about how the people play their classes, and how well everyone works with one another... A group built from the ground up will obviously know eachothers playstyles and will adapt to that, but often times RL gets in the way of groups such as these...

Hopefully we can make something work... The Molvik group that runs together does very well most night, I generally average 80 or so kills, 20 DBs, and 5 to 10 deaths on any given night on my sorc...

It's great fun...

Friar's do not get DI, so just go with static tempest ;p
