Requirements to raid - VoG

Hi Guys, Me and my buddy are approaching level 28 (1 upgrade remaining) and we wish to start doing VoG soon. We've been reading/watching some guides and checking out some of your gear. What would you lvl 30's say is required as a minimum to enter a VoG raid (on normal)? If possible, please don't specify it on gun name because they are hard to obtain. It would be easier if you could say the damage type and minimum damage/quality required. Thank you for the help! I will edit this post so it will become a shortlist of requirements. EDIT: A summary of the answers: [b]The key factor:[/b] [u]Communication, have a headset to call out when in trouble and listen[/u] [b]General advice:[/b] Play with a setup you are comfortable with and upgrade your weapons/armor as much as possible. [b]Primary weapon:[/b] preferably an AR, with 267+ damage (Shadow Price e.g.). A maxed other gun will do the same trick, but pulse and handcannon aren't the best options except if your skilled with them. Having multiple guns is usefull to adjust to the different engagements. [b]Special weapon:[/b] VOID damage is key for the start, a void Fusion rifle is preferred (77 Wizard). A sniper rifle is very usefull to have in various encounters. [b]Heavy weapon:[/b] VOID damage on at least one gun, a rocket launcher for the last boss is nice. [b]Misc:[/b] Ammo Synthesis for any weapon, buy plenty of each. [b]Pref. Subclass:[/b] Sunsinger, Defender and Gunslinger. [b]Nice to have:[/b] one or more experienced players to lead the team EDIT 2: Thank you for the great feedback everyone! I hope this post will remain on forum for some while so every starter can use it.

Granted it took 7hrs and lots of dying but we did it. I just ran the raid in 2hrs with my hunter at weekend when he hit 28. I would say some good weapons mainly void damage and a decent primary that is not a hand cannon or pulse rifle. A decent machine gun and rocket launcher are good and void damage for Minotaurs A good team is more important to be honest I first ran it with... Suros Blue fusion rifle void damage Blue heavy machine gun void damage I now run with either Suros or Atheons Epilogue Patience and time or Epitah or Preadeths Revenge Prestige IV or Truth Most are maxed out.
