Raid encounters - are they all simple?

[Zangler]

Hi there I have been up to T5 now on this server, and I'm wondering - are all fights just tank and spanks? I think the server (At least the lower half of the tiers) could really use some actual strat-based fights. The majority of them are very uneventful, and are based around two or less abilities the boss has, which are easily avoided. I could be wrong on this, and it could pick up. Great server, total fun but... raid content I have seen so far is pretty disappointing

That will change with T7, you will miss the "easy" Raid encounter before
@Vaion: Thank you for all the fun/challenge.

That content use to be a serious challenge for us. Now its simple to negate it based on the gear you can get before you ever start into the tier content.

T6 starts to make you think a little. T7 is when things start to get strat dependant. Its seriously fun zone, and getting the correct strat is critical to win.

I agree most of t1-t5 is tank/spank mainly. T7 is awesome.

T7 is a challange, its a big change from VP. Once you get the gear out of Ds you need it will be easyer, then you move on to T8 HOH and Nadox, both are heavy in strat fights, the trash of course can be a challange to remember who does what when. Once you get fully evolved t8 gear all that becomes easyer to handle. Its not a walk in the park unless you are fully donored out when you walk into T8. For those that arnt take the time to get the evolved gear done and augged.

you will start to see some nastier fights in VP with harder AEs, dispells, adds. Once you get into T7 and T8 though all the bosses require a strat to kill and are scripted fights. Even the trash will require a strat to clear effectively and not paying attention can easily get you wiped on just a couple trash mobs.

Just hang in there and get all the gear you can from those easier fights for you and your box crew and/or guild mates. You're gonna need it once you start breaking into T7. Your 1st time in there is gonna be crazy! =)

T7/8 will blow your mind

T7 is a gap.
Well , even before just beeing able to kill the first named you gonna have bad time with the first trashs mobs and figuring out how they work
