Had time to have an experimental play with the husks today at Cobolt - zerg attacking husk = melted in a few seconds. I had about 30 on the keg running zerg and decent listening today.

Possibly a tactic worth bearing in mind though - not always going to be useful but if the situation arises thats one very very quick arena clean. My worms seem to be melting faster too. Fully clean arena if course means less chance of loosing kegs/phytotoxin buffs etc from being hit by worm spits and less agro from husks - and frees the condis up to give dps help in the burns if possible.

Personal thoughts

Food
- can we use something better once we have run through what we have left in the bank? (both regular and condi food - obviously cost permitting)

Condi
- Can we have and attempt at running with teams of 4 and see how that handles?? Do we need certain team builds (eg so many warriors, so many necro etc). Interested to see if removing the cap makes smaller teams viable or not. (i know Ella is already looking into this and has already got some interesting info)
- Could we break condi rule number one for 1 run?? and have the full zerg killing husks on spawn (now that the stacks are not over written) - idea behind this being the condis can then join in the keg running, phytotoxin gathering, abom killing and more importantly be there for the full burn phase! - May be a total fuck up and not work at all or could have some interesting results burn wise. This may also only be suitable for certain worms?? (Amber maybe while zerg waiting on upset stomach to wear off??)
- Have we looked at viability of condis killing worms again?? when no husks about obviously (to give us less need for arena cleans and therefore gaining time for burns/number of burn phases possible)
- Build info - has this changed moved?? armour skills etc can we gain anythign for Veratas/sinister?

Eggblockers (one role ive not done myself so appologies if im missing something obvious here)
- Are guardians actually still viable with the increased issues with wall of reflection placement?? we seem to be getting a lot more egg spits getting through since the update and i know Malf was telling me we still have some kind of animation lag issue but are there any other ways to reduce this? Basically what can we do to make our lives easier by not taking so many chances.
- Soloing, have we got 3 people who are very good at soloing? would it be viable (though possibly a little risky - but thats a separate decision) to have a team of 2 so the solo stays there and the second runs with the zerg but breaks off back to the eggblocking if theres an issue.

General
- Zerg size - we know the event scales up at 20, 30 and 40 people so do look at the number of people and deliberatly unbalance the 3 heads? ie rather than run all 3 at max difficulty we run 2 at medium (preferably with all ts people) and shift the remainder all onto one head to run at max difficulty with high dps due to number of people. I wouldnt suggest going min difficulty due to the numbers needed for kegs and harpoons but if we cap 2 worms at 38-39 people to max out medium difficulty without tipping into top level difficulty. This could be hard to maintain with late randoms joining the nearest head but may be worth a try
 - Warrior balance re: banners - obviously disciple is now viable but if all warriors bring both that and strength they dont stack and i guess we top out on blasts for might - inadvertently we may be missing out on some warriors using frenzy etc to gain us extra damage - would it be worth looking at a new team purely for banner warriors?? that way we know in advance how many we have for P2 and we can let other warriors know to bring one blast and then something for quickness etc.



OK im sure theres a lot more we can look at but off the top of my head theres a few to discuss - obviously the chances are they wont all work but they may trigger someone else to think of something that does.

May be a bit late - got an appointment on Thursday evening then dinner before i can join.

He He was just coming to do that - welcome back Dark

I tried stacking on you as well but again only got damage on one side - the DD by the front right claw seemed to be working for me again though - that said i wield axes so its sometimes a bit hard to tell but may be worth checking out

Also little tip for doing TA Aetherblades path - get snacks/coffee comfy chair and settle in for the long haul.

Yep once a month sounds good to me too. Keep it a bit more special.

Was thinking of putting up a thread for "other ideas" to add to our Dry top/Silver Wastes/Naked run Thirsday night rotations. then we can always chop and change bits and bobs to keep it fresh. Maybe a jumping puzzle night?? or Map unlock of certain areas as a big group. Dont know really just throwing out random ideas here at 1am in the morning (they may look bad ideas by the light of day), and im sure other people will have other ideas we can consider as well.
