A raid leader can generally give constructive critical advice, as a [i]good[/i] raid leader should be watching everything. ie. If people outside the portals are failing, then the RL should be appointing some stronger players to replace the tasks that weaker players are struggling with. As a RL, I generally hold the relic as often as possible. -- [i]why[/i]!? -it's easier for me to survey the fireteam and assess areas where we need improvement. Because of this, we can down Atheon on Hard (legit way) in 2 cycles; whereas, it takes most other groups 3-4+. A [b]Strong[/b] Raid Leader can make all the difference. & TBH, the whole [i]YOLO SWAG[/i] attitude of "we don't need no leader" tends to lead to longer completion times, which (let's be honest) no one wants. <3
