VP Armor Quest

[BaldMaster]

So, the VP armor is 10k per piece of armor, I dont have anything close to that kind of money for one toon, much less the whole team.

What is the play here? Can you stomach Powerful Armor (Doomfire) and make it through VP without doing armor, maybe just the augs?

I don't really want to farm plat, but I guess if I do, is there someplace good? I know seb is ok with the gems and the WOS chimera tunnel seemed like decent money, but that is some serious plats...

What's your toon in-game? I've got a bunch of old tokens i can sell and toss you some plat. Not much use hoarding them without an economy.

I appreciate the offer, but I am going to just go with it, part of the grind. Seems like about 2 clearings of upper Seb gets me about 10k, so I think I can stomach that as its pretty easy and I dont have to think about it.

I can down Fennin easy enough and have killed the Queen a few times now, the Queen fight is still a bit dicey, but I think I found my self a good strat now.

I tried VP yesterday, killed the first dino, but the next boss mob wiped me twice pretty easily, not sure his name but he has Gravity Flux.

I will take any tips you have on that fight though I have slowly grown my team, but its really just about 3 or 4 guys that kill the mobs.

I have been toying with 3x 4man groups and grabbing the Shammy and Druid. I just hate playing with so many because the inventory management leads to burn out.

Current main team is: War, Clr, Ber, Rog, Mnk, Rng - Mage, Wiz, Bst, Chanter

The monk is pretty decked out as is the ranger, so the monk can tank. Maybe I get out my SK and run something like

War
Clr
Rng
Rog
Ber

Mnk
Shm
Bst
Wiz

SK
Dru
Mag
Chan

This would allow me to HOT KEY the adds easier, as that seems to be my biggest issue is when the main mobs pop adds that are worthy opponents, I cant burn them quick enough to stop my support toons from dying.

My War cannot keep aggro, its not even close, this messes me up quite a bit because the adds just go after the whole team.

All that said, my goal was to get down to one group and maybe the chanter.

Now that I write this all down, I can see I may not have enough healing, perhaps I will add my Shm or Dru to the team.

War, Clr, Ber, Rog, Enc
Monk, Shm, Rng, Wiz, Bst

I could dig up a couple bots on each team and unraid them for bigger mobs... just 2 more healing classes maybe...

Sorry, for the wall of text, but nobody posts on here so at least its something to read

Been awhile since I've done VP but iirc for Silverwing I would pull him back in a hallway near a corner I could LoS my healers behind. LoS negates the grav flux. Tank would stand against the wall and tank him perpendicular. Used the walls as a bumper for melee characters so they wouldn't get launched too far.

Im not sure how the bazaar is going recently but I sold loot from the world bosses and tokens from T2-3 and then did LDON missions and Seb for gems. It took me a while so i started saving when i had just finished the E2.0 on all my army, 18 toons was a large sum.
