More 2 Group Raid zones than WoE?

Azerack · 05-19-2010, 03:11 PM

So my guild is not a full blown raid guild, but now we are at the point where Ward of Elements is done pretty well and we have fun with it.

But, that's it? No other 2x zones?

I was hoping that we might see at least one new 2xEpic raid instance in the new expansion, but nowhere to be seen and the new Raid zones for Halas are 4xEpic as well.

Did I miss something and there actually IS another 2x Raid zone or is my guild destined for WoE ad infinitum?

(and mind you, now that a lot of the raid-capable in my guild are level 90, the drops in WoE are slowly becoming obsolete and for alts, only).

Well there is still Kurns x2 from T8 and now in T9 there is Vigilant x2.

So you have only wrapped up about 1/3 of the x2 content. Also you can 2 group a lot of the old TSO x4 groups and some of the new x4 easy mobs.

Ahh okay thank you!

Yeah, well, 2/3rd's more content is at least more to do than before.

As officers, we have talked about looking at VP and some other areas for getting people's mythical updates, although some are not as keen on it since Epic Repercussions gives you the Mythical version anyway (though that is single group only, in a somewhat ironic twist, I think).

I think a lot of people might like to at least try the Vigilant x2 even though I have heard all vigilant zones are quite difficult.

Good to hear, thanks for the response!

TSO zones are still worth doing for loot

Yes as stated in most other threads of the same question about x2 content, the previous expansion's x4 content is generally 2 groupable and still yields rewards beyond WoE.

I think you could also clear Tox (easy) with 2 groups, and atleast thru Harrakar (sp?) in Labs with 2 groups. Maybe not with your current gear, but if you had gear from TSO x4's you could.

Good luck with the Vig x2. If you are recently becoming too big for WoE you have a ways to go before you can do more then the first named in the x2. And the stuff that is still worth it from TSO is asually still harder to accomplish for a casual raidforce then the new x4 stuff simply because of the amount of insta-fail effects and minimum required healer's for curse cures. And you will need good dps for most of it, so if you are not clearing the easier x4 stuff in SF you probably wont be doing anything much in TSO.

But the SF x4 content really is easy enough to 2-3 group. We killed vuulan for the first time with 2 groups over a month ago and we still cant get past the dogs on the x2. But thats mostly us missing a few key classes every time we head in so we are constantly missing SOMETHING. Either power regen, healing or dps and cant get the first dog down.

And beyond that kurns can be done fairly easily now...

Most of the x4 easy-mode raids are probably going to be easier with only 2-3 groups than the x2 vig zone.

If you see big red letters on the screen it normally means the mob is rooted and about to do (a most lightly fatal) ae, so just joust out - that will get you most of it dead SMILEY

The x4 encounters will drop mark/shard thingies - you can farm those for gear from the raid merchants in paineel.
