Fear of Eternity Fabled suggested stats for H1

[DaConjy]

Are any casual groups or PUGs able to finish these H1 zones? I think my stats are good at 1.9M potency 42k CB and 1750 Fervor outside group. The guild group is BL, Sin, Swashy, Coercer, Zerker and Warden (scout-heavy for sure). We couldn't get past the 3rd named in Wurmbone Crag after 10 attempts and the final named in Throne of Fear we got him down to 50% after 20 minutes then wiped. Once again, it seems Resolve is a useless measure of what is achievable. I don't understand why the Combat Mit is so high on H1 zones... so that the raiders take 15 minutes to finish it instead of 10? ...And crush the spirits of a 10+ year guild group that really does like playing together but is having trouble seeing the point right now... We thought the crate with the raid catch-up stuff would actually catch us up... not for us at least...

Thanks in advance.

I'll be honest. Stats alone won't get you what you want. I'm not saying you guys are this way, but you need to be decent enough at your class. The H1s are dropping gear that normally would come from T3 raids. If you are not capable of those I would say you are not quite ready for these. I hate saying it, but the GUs this year seem to have been made to catch people up to different tiers of raids, or to supplement what is needed to get to a specific tier of raid. In doing so, the difficulty of the zones needs to be harder than say regular heroics.

The GU is def no where near the level of difficulty as the t3 raids were just pack on some potancy to get you past the mit issues. If you're running act, and you should be, around 100T is the dps mark you should be aiming for in a static with these zones.

Thanks Fizzgig. I'd like to think we know how to play our classes. We run ACT and regularly tweak stats. I was under the assumption that we should be trying to get more CB, but I'll see what I can do about Potency... there's no way I can get another 200k potency though to match your stats above... And thanks for the 100T marker, I'm the BL in the group and I'm doing maybe 15 on the nameds.

Airenx - Why does it need to be harder than normal heroics? Seriously? What's the harm in letting us casuals do the H1 content? So, they should have made the gear coming out of the H1 lower quality, that's fine, I'd be ok with that.

H1 content that, until the GU, drops resolve gear at the same level as T3 raids, that is the reason.

@Fizzgig Ok, learned a trick checking some leaderboard toons on EQ2U - putting one base and one upgraded Gleeful in the same 2 purple slot gear. Too bad I only have a 2 slot purple for one out of those 4 pieces of gear. Got my Potency up to about 1.98 so that's better. We'll see where we're at next time we play. Thanks.

I would not read too much into this. The new fabled zones are nowhere close to T3 raids in difficulty and this happens every year where they do a gear catch up and raid level gear is given out as free candy for returning/new players. Your stats seem ok for h1 heroics. Not sure why you are having issues in those zones. Some of these bosses do have scripts so you should be following that.

Doing some solos to get the 2 relic items and the stat boost will help you as well if you already have not done so.

 

[DaConjy]

@Arclite - really helpful, thank you. We know the scripts for the most part. I did the solos a few times this weekend and dropped a relic and 4 pieces of 525 with 2 purples. Found out about the gloves you can buy from Issa Moon after doing all the Solos. That's definitely helping. I've encouraged my guildies to do the same.

Some of the trouble could be not having a ward/reactive heal class, Wardens/fury seem to have a bit tougher time (not saying its not achievable) but not having wards for these mobs is a bit more difficult because of how hard they hit.

 

[DaConjy]

@Klabx Yes, we found that. As a BL I can throw wards but then my DPS is nothing, we've used that trick on some mobs in the past.

temp adorns will help you pack on some more too. and find yourself a brig for your static. I'm a t5 raider, even as a templar my stats will be hard for a casual gamer to reach and should not be your goals unless you plan on raiding yourself.
