<p>For future reference, it might be easier for regulars of the Guardian forums to answer questions about AA, Raid, and Gear setups if posters first give some information about your character and raid force. Something similar to EQ2Flames, but if this thread continues on, it could be a great source of information, akin to a FAQ where someone can quickly get an answer so long as they provide the requisite information:</p><p><b>Character Name+EQ2Players Link+Guild+Server: </b></p><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/characters/character_profile.vm?characterId=213221109" target="_blank">Thorren</a> of Vigilance, Lucan D'Lere</p><p><b>Your gear in terms of Tier and important items (Do you have Grim Brimstone Hammer/SoD Gladius and Buckler of the Howler? Do you have lots of EoF fabled or just a little bit? ect.). What Raid Zones/Encounters has your raid force cleared</b></p><p>GBH+Buckler of the Howler normally. Mainly EoF fabled excluding Avatar Loot. All Kos+EoF instances, excluding contested.</p><p><b>What kind of MT group do you run? What's your raid's Zonewide DPS on average?</b></p><p>Guardian/Dirge/Swashbuckler/Coercer/Templar/Defiler. Around 30K zonewides, sometimes higher, sometimes lower depending on the zone and if people are slacking.</p><p>Answering these questions first will make your own inquiries about AAs, as well as how you want to setup your raid with particular classes and what gear to use will help us regulars a ton. Everything's subjective, and the more variables you can cover, the better advice you'll recieve from those of us who've been taking for way too long to count. So for example, if your force is just starting raiding and looking to clear KoS, you might be interested in survivability more than aggro control, so we can council accordingly. Conversely, if you're looking to fine-tune and are looking a couple pieces of specific gear while you're fighting Avatar of Mischief, opinions will flow in. This is obviously raid-oriented, but said question can extend to any Teir, heroic or solo as well.</p>
