Find the psionic moving them around and kill it. Problem solved.
Might have to change your sig from Tarrant to Eladrin for that man
(just kidding Eladrin)
I ran a pug Elite Shroud last night it was well made and organized and I ended being the last one alive (full health and a DDoor for dignity's sake...no one likes to clean the blood piss and shit out of their armor after a total party wipe after all
). Strategy is back! I love that the blades hit like a truck and that strategy is required again in one of the best raids going.
It will have to be run the old ways on Elite and is going to take some time and 4-6 rounds of careful play to survive. Sorry for the con is a dumpstat clerics and Clonks who have to look at the ground to stop from lagging out... you will die - go buy a new computer or prepare to get your ingredients from the AH.
Less than 500 hp is now a death wish sorry drow/elfs you dont have to die in a fire, you will die a pile of goo the looks like "vince" slap chopped the fuck out of you instead.
All I will say for strategy is:
Remember those pretty blue glowing rings that used to cause auto-crit? They are your friends
Silverflame favor a pain to grind? Not anymore hello Catacombs adventure pack!
Vorpals for the Gnolls is passe? Nope now its Chic
Self Sufficiency gimps DPS? Not as much as watching from the penalty box!
I pretty much agree with Stainers message. Love the new adventures and changes to the raids (because I am in a good guild and play with good players) like the tweeks to the UI and stuff (the Art Dept guy needs to do something...), like the bank deposit 50k is enough for me, I have one bank toon sugar daddy who doles out the cash in incrimaments similar (only people making large purchases anonymously need larger deposits... dont be an ass and you can use a main to buy/sell stuff), ABSOLUTELY HATE THAT ALL MY OLD REAVER AND ABBOT LOOT IS NOT UPGRADEABLE... the Reaver can fuck himself in the ear with Blades from the Shroud, I refuse to regrind just to get striding 30 and +2 more dex on my boots, Abbot will be run only because some guildies on Paladins want litanies and I am used to old schooling the ice wand part... btw Evasion on the Abbot is cheap after the fact unless you add a ring of evasion to the loot tables, just saying. All in all the new content gets a B+ besides the no retro upgrades.
