<div>I have been finding a lot of great information on various T7 raids but would like a little advice tailored to my guild.</div><div> </div><div>We are a semi-casual raiding guild.  Many of us find the time despite jobs/kids/spouses to play a decent amount but only a couple groups have really been able to push into the mid to high 60's.  We try to raid twice a week even if it's going back with some of the lower lvls to T5 and T6.</div><div> </div><div>Our force...  Roughly 2 groups of avg lvl 67 (Tanks, Healers, and DPS split about equally).  Our class diversity really kicks in for the next 2 groups.  3rd and 4th group are a mix of a lvl 62 maybe 63 avg.  We have a final enthusiastic group of lower lvls we don't wanna leave out if we have room.  They are mostly between 55 and 60.</div><div>I expect the average lvl of each grouping will go up 1-2 lvls a week with some time restrained people leveling a lot slower. </div><div> </div><div>On a raid we potentially have people from lvl 55-68 atm.  We don't want to exclude people that really wanna be there.  We usually don't hinge our strategy based on the need for a particular low lvl class.</div><div> </div><div>All of our top 2-3 groups are getting really interested in moving past T6 and getting our feet wet in T7 (even if we have a rough time of it).  Most of these people are very well equipped in T7 non-raid gear (hitting cap pretty easily in primary stats and most casters with ALOT of FT).  We had a period of non-raiding in T6 so we are trying to catch up to the curve and would like to do so in T7.</div><div> </div><div>So, based on the assumption that we are quality players and work well together, where do you think we should start?</div><div> </div><div>Obviously it's gonna be tough for the lower lvl people to hit lvl 68 epicx4 mobs but I would like to include them if possible.  The Lab interests us due to the Relic Amor drops.  Would the trash mobs there be difficult for our force?  Ae's are the bane of some of our lower levels, but we get creative with the roles we assign them.  Do Relic Armor drops come from any other zones?</div><div> </div><div>Could someone give us a rough idea of zones we can play around in?  Maybe an idea of the mobs level, whether the lower lvls players could be worked in, whether we should stick to trash, and what zones can we do epic named in. </div><div> </div><div>One last thing.  We can get 2 pretty tight high level groups together.  We could go back thru and do some T6 content but would rather push forward into T7.  Suggestions for X2 or X3 raid areas?</div><div> </div><div>Thanks for any info you can provide.  This will be a big help in deciding the exact direction for our raiding.</div>

Hi!  For the last two weeks, while Fallen waited for the slower levelers to catch up, the rest of us have been raiding.  This usually meant 2 to 3 groups, which sounds close to what you have, with some lower levels who needed a break from the grind.  I'd suggest: - Temple of the Scaleborn x2 area.  Nothing has a serious AE and if you do get a named they drop some interesting items.- The lab.  Trash mobs are killable with 2-3 groups, but go with care, there are some things you'll have to learn to adapt to, especially the lower level folk.  You'll be able to work on some basic strats, at least.  - NOT Ascent of the Awakened.  The zone has buggy repops, few mobs to kill, and the upper level will brutally AE you right in the face.  No named, no progression, and frequently a guild will have gone through a few hours ago and killed everything anyway.<div></div>

What you describe sounds similar to our guild.Personally I don't have much info about raid instances in KoS, but our raid council has decided to stay at tier6 for some more time, to get fully equipped in tier6 fabled, because they think this will be needed to raid in KoS. Most of us have nice tier7 treasured and legendary items, but still we get tier6 fabled that beat them.Have you done all DoF raid instances already? If not, maybe you should still spend some time there, too.<div></div>

<div></div>Clicky orb on top of the building with the entrance to Halls of Fate. Forming up right at the orb is probably a bad idea because the young dragon pops there and can wipe your raid by knocking them off the building.

<div></div>Aye Temple of Scale and Lab are excellent starting raids, and the loot in lab is pretty good.
