Mostly correct, but... Both HoV and EoV are warriors and are mostly similar in terms of both having DT and both able to proc a 500 hp lifetap on melee attacks and ripostes, but they do have 3 distinct differences. HoV has an unresistable rain spell, HoV has much higher dps output from melee...

Ahh ok Pettie makes sense too, he got it from Lab. Pettie did it as well but not to the extreme lengths that Lab would go through. People can probably mostly blame pettie for why I even originally continued to play EQ. I started on the tlp's after not playing EQ since 2001, originally as just a...

You're referring to Laberintica. Great rogue/player. He's been doing that every server since before phinny, and his proof of how prioritizing full resist gear over dps gear in the early expansions will double your DPS is a large part in why Kubat and myself have been big pushers of that motto...

I mean, I know you are aren't the brightest, most clever, most socially adapted person out there....but even the most socially inept people can come up with a new joke that's taken out of context from a story that I'm not even the original person to tell it. Even socially inept people don't...

Funny enough and obviously this is an exception, but we used to have someone, he was either a wizard or necro cant remember, who intentionally wore shit gear permanently, even shit gear from prior expansions that woulda been considered shit even in the era they were from, just to see how high up...

Daaaaaam bro, how many raids did you have to search through to find some stuff that was 7 clerics and less and then actually think this was in any way proof of what I said being completely false and untrue? Forced me to go back through discord conversations as I know i brought up several times...

either way, was a fun back and forth with ya @yerm about something that is actually EQ related outside of the normal shitposting that goes on here. reminds me of the 3-4 hour back and forth debates in discord/bumble over EQ raiding theories that I used to take part in or listen to. Have to head...

I think it can be useful in certain context. I've never been big with harping on gear in raids I've ran across servers. In TEB gear was never a requirement. There were some members who would complain about undergeared people joining, but I would just try to explain the bigger picture to them and...

Yeah I can remember some of OGC's first AoW kills and the CH rots were super big. Now days I think most guilds can do it with 5 in the rot and any others outside splashing. For the last half of velious on Aradune, there were a lot of early am hour AoW kills that we only used me playing 5 clerics...

Yeah, sure, ok. boxes are the culprit!....ok lol. You'd lose your money.

I mean you can call me bad if you want, and you can also stick to your systems of how you do things all you want if you believe them to be better. I'll continue using my systems, the systems that have been PROVEN to facilitate splits that consistently finish raids faster than any other guilds...

Ok if the 10 clerics in the rot are also splashing, what is the point of the CH rot then to begin with? The people casting CH's and actually letting them land would be letting them land at a health that is inefficient. You can use the old tired argument of "sounds like the players are just bad"...

CH rots can be used prior to velious and should be used to promote higher levels of efficiency and speed. For example Plane of Sky in Classic and Veeshans Peak in Kunark. If you were to race two raids of 72 doing a full clear in those zones, everything else being the same except one not using a...

Astral was one of the raid leaders in GIG to my understanding, yes. Krim was also a raid leader in GIG yes, I was only in a couple raids of his as he was mostly a DZ raid leader to my understanding, and I really only ever did OW raids. Yes Astral is a very knowledgeable raid leader in general...

Exactly. I've seen too many instances in which a guild focuses so much on one aspect of raiding or judging things by one generalized metric that they fail to take a wholistic approach and look at the dozen + other factors that are causing their raids to slow down or fail entirely. I harped on...

Don't worry ambiturner, maybe after a few years when your brain has developed a little bit more, you might say something at least once on here of any substance. I didn't play "shitty" on purpose or because I wanted to, I played shitty because that is how THEY wanted me to play, as well as how...

If you want to do gear checks in order to keep krono leeches out of a GDKP guild, that is perfectly fine. However, if that's all you are going to do and then constantly complain about peoples gear in voice as the "clear" reason raids are taking longer while simultaneously leading raids...

Putting a primary focus on gear and gear checks is such an antiquated way of thinking in regards to TLP raiding that I'm still often shocked and surprised that after this many TLP's that guilds still fall in to this trap. Gear is a crutch. If you are a guild struggling or even just your average...

Excuse my lack of knowledge of the Oakwynd server and the FTE mechanids surrounding it, but how is an OW raid boss like naggy even contested? Person says in guild chat that it is contested. Wouldn't it just come down to whichever tracker tags it first then runs in a circle preventing naggy from...

I'm just going to guess you are unfamiliar with the term "fomo"

Considering people will reply breaking down several things I've said in a long post means that people are reading them. Anything else you got or you done yet?

It wouldn't matter if your account was 50 years old, having that many posts on here in general, no matter what thread it's in, is ridiculous. And i dunno, maybe learn to type faster is only thing i can tell ya. Takes me less than 5 minutes to spit out those long posts. Long posts are also more...

I have a combined total of 374 posts since March 25th, 2017 (320 on my main Atabishi account that I lost access to, and 54 including this post on this account) You have a total of 11,162 posts since July 30th, 2016. I don't think your math is adding up. You have 30 times more posts than me when...

I'm not sure who he is in game, but I almost started to wonder if he was in TEB at some point and was trying to do exactly what I do on these forums but to a far far more extreme level of trolling. I wondered if he was in TEB at some point because sometimes we would sit in discord voice while...

I actually think the most compelling story line and most fun/entertaining competition that could possibly take place on the 25th anniversary server would be AoS/Amtrak/Faceless vs TEB/RI. That would be something I could get excited about to the point where I would definitely play the 25th...

heh I can't publicly confirm or deny anything/anyone in terms of who for the 25th anniversary, the only thing I can say is that despite the immense pressure I'm getting for a 25th anniversary TEB return that I'm not/have not committed to anything until I see a server ruleset, but things have...

Heh I know you are saying, I just don't think it comes from a knowledge of what was really going on. The vast majority of the original 120ish race group that were high enough lvl to raid to be in the race on Aradune in TEB were people I had been playing with and leading raids for from phinny up...

I think you are remembering wrong. There were 4 guilds who originally recruited based on being the premier open world guild. In fact, TEB was the last of the 4 to make a recruitment post. I believe the only other server that had more than 1 guild recruit based on being the premier open world...

I don't think either Viious or myself would have to merge with anyone in order to push him out. It may seem like he has a lot of supporters inside the echo chamber of posters in this forum, but that is pretty much where it ends. I could guarantee you I have the ability without even trying to...

I think that would heavily depend on the guild, but was definitely not the case for TEB. While TEB still cleared DZ's at an insane rate that would be faster than most, if not all guilds, the batphones were always stupidly fast. For a lot of the raid mobs classic-velious, people in TEB pretty...

A little birdie told me a rumor that if the 25th anniversary ruleset is amazing, there will be a TEB 2. If this birdies rumor is true, I wouldn't expect RI to be moving over there.

Rofl how long are you going to hold on to this when i msg'd you close to 5 years ago when I didn't even know you, and was something I did to EVERY person who was the leader of a guild that raced for server firsts. The fact that I asked you this question so long ago must really still mean a lot...

An entire raid did not corpse bank. 3 groups corpse banked (a total of 18) in AoS on phinny. The only role that ultimately ended up playing on phinny was that no one could contest them in OW (an example of how important levels matter in pop and why OGC immediately lost PoP upon their DZ collapse...

Wasn't even going to respond again until you decided to respond with that line as if it's always been there. You added this rule line shortly after adding Selos in there as it resulted in many people starting to say they would now be submitting all special ruleset server times. This line was not...

lol so you're going with the excuse that you was never aware of when amtrak completed pop and it's not your responsibility, and didn't intentionally add a special ruleset server because of personal vendetta that took twice the amount of time to finish than it should have taken. I smell fish...

Google searching that quote brought up no results. Not to beat a dead horse from years ago, but when I looked it up back on Aradune, many sites that track spreedruns, not just speedrun.com, encourage adding old times in order to fill a leaderboard that is otherwise empty for a game as long as...

Just because you don't care and people you play with don't care doesn't mean there aren't some that do. While the community of people who care about the records may be a niche small community, it's still a community of people. It was definitely much larger from phinny-aradune than it is now, but...

I've never cared if guilds beat the TEB records on future servers, the Aradune records were made to be beaten. The hope was that people would beat them. I'm surprised actually that they haven't been yet. There was always 4 primary goals of each expansion launch in TEB for classic-pop and...

It's been about 8 days or so hasn't it? I guess compared to most servers it's relatively quick. I'm surprised no one on the last few servers have done classic in 4 days yet. You could theoretically clear all of classic in 3 days if you had 72 really go hard dedicated people that could all get...

You right now
