I was invited to a raid group last night at Atheon on hard. I was that guy. The newb. I hadnt even breached the gate on normal before and a group invited me to join. I picked up quickly what I was supposed to do, but I was a low 28, so I had a real uphill battle. But everyone was cool. We tried several times but wiped for different reasons (glad it wasnt just my inexperience, though I know that didnt help..) I started feeling like I was holding them back when one of them said something that meant a lot to me... one of them said, " come on guys, just a few more tries, we have to help Master get some raid rewards, lets keep trying. " Man, I gotta say that was an epic gaming moment for me, even if it was just said jokingly. These were all raid vets, 29s and a few 30s, and they could have booted me at any time for another 30 or 29 player.
If you had me in your raid party last night, thanks for a chance at awesome. Even though real life interupted and I had to put my son to bed (who's a 27 titan defender who was freaking out watching his old man get a crack at H mode VoG,.. ;P) I had a blast and really thank everyone for being patient with me and giving me a shot.

had some friends pull me into atheon on hard, only 3 runs thru the raid prior to this point but was lucky enough to get all 3 peices of armor from normal on the second time thru. they brought me in as a lvl 30, knowing I had crap weapons (they been makin fun of me for days for being lvl 30 and still having blue weapons, my luck was crap till that one raid), knowing I've done nothing but guard the gates. and put me in the relic holder position. something that would have taken them 10-15 mins to do took us nearly 40 mins with me in that clutch position. but I learned how to use the shield. when to jump and smash when to slash and when to shield charge. by the end apart from a few glitches where the mobs took no damage when I hit them I was able to clear them all out get back up cleanse and then super one of the oricals as they had to stop and reload.
