You know why you got your ass handed to you right? You suck.  My caster and my fvs both had no problem with the decon.. I don't think it ever hit for full damage.  Con is not a dump stat, fort is not a dump save.

blob?

So Day 1 is over.  Now that we have all had the opportunity to run these new raids, how did you guys do?  What are your opinions thus far?  Are they still too easy? Too hard? Just right?  Lets hear your thoughts

I liked them. I think I like lob beter than tma, both were fun though.

Many of us would have appreciated the warning, "what are the patterns above the artificers head for?" before the giant electric field shot bolts up our ass that came out of our genitilia forcing us to fail a 1000 dc fort save and die.  Then again, we did just walk through epic like it was one big joke until that part.  So fair enough I guess.

The flagging quests are boring, long, easy, and WORTH NO FUCKING XP.  Talk about giant waste of talas xp pot.  They need to stop releasing content with LESS xp then the rest of the fucking quests in the game.  I know they are retarded, but come one.  Can anyone really be that fucking pathetic? I, like many others I am sure, would like to run a few different quests for the xp grind.

Other then that, I give it a giant meh.  I am not a big fan of retarded grinds like these alchemical weapons will be.  It is what it is though.

As I said, strategy was on the run - so once we figured out both it was straight forward, just took some experimenting, which I liked anyway.

It didn't help matters that I killed Eladiun 3 times with charges.... oopsie

Did you run LOB epoch? 

Ya I agree the quests are pretty meh... With some cool fights.  I do like the voices though.  The raids however were done pretty well I think.

We didn't do ELOB, everyone was irritated at the defeats in master artificer.  If I remember correctly, their first wipe was on the second wave (shit tons of golems) before the elec field.  Second wipe I was in and it was on the the elc field.  We plan to hit up ELOB tonight.  I might convince them to blow through a quick normal MA (just because I hate NOT being on raid timers) beforehand.  Hell, I might just shortman it to practice the elec field.  This caught me by complete surprise.  Thought process was like this: Ooo, look at the crystals you can click on pop up.  Nifty, he shoots them with lightning, I wonder why?  HOLY SHIT THAT HURT!  Then a little DM message popped up, something to do with the patterns flashing above his head.  So we sat there and watched the patterns and elec field.  Anyways, I think I might talk them down to a normal LOB as well.  Not everyone in The Ancients is equipped well enough to handle Elite, much less Epic.  A sacrifice I must make I know, but it must be done.

Oh, and I forgot:

Really, web makes even Epic seem rather trivial.  Talk about a walk in the park.  OMG! TONS OF WF! Web.   OMG! GIANT CONSTRUCTS! Web.  All in all, was pretty easy.  Just make sure to finger those arties on epic or Tactical Detonations everywhere! 

Another quick edit, My web DC on my Water Savant was a grand 31.  I was still catching them more often then not. I have now crafted my +3 cha bonus and my epic conj docent.  So at a nice 36, should be pretty trivial I imagine.

My guild can walk through Elite ToD (the old one ) pretty easily.  So, I figure starting them off on norm LOB is best simply for that reason.  I would hate to take them to an ELOB just to see them get creamed in minutes, hahaha.  Well, actually, that would be kind of funny.

I havent even had a sniff of the new content. I have logged in long enough to buy a guildy a guest pass, thats it.

But the fact remains everything was beaten day 1 on EPIC which makes the difficulty too easy. You cant have it both ways Jen. Unless you are claiming to be soooooo UBER that only the might of "Nick and those other guys" could have a shot at beating the quest and any mere mortals should find normal tough enough if not impossible. I maintain any raid that is beaten day one is a joke nevermind if it was on the hardest setting or not.

VoD and HoX were beat on day 1. They are the shittiest raids in DDO. ToD was not beaten on Elite day 1, it is an excellent raid. This is the difference

Remember when people didn't even go for completion in pugs when Shroud first came out?  Tons of LFM's for the first 3 parts or "as far as we can go."  Good times.
