I've only run two raids, first time I was definitely the rookie but there was another rookie with us and the vets were very helpful. I had watched countless raid runs on YouTube but until you pick up a controller and actually do it it's not the same. Second run I was a mix between the rookie and the silent dude. I had my earbud in so I could hear everything everyone was saying, but it was muted on my end so I didn't say one word the entire time. The group I was with was pretty experienced and breezed through most of it. I died a handful of times but I knew where to go and what worked for me the first time so I just kind of did my thing. Also made it across the jumping puzzle the first try with my Hunter. It took me about five tries the first time. I used the relic when we pushed the Templar because it was a pretty simple job but I have to learn how to use the relic outside of that. I don't think anyone expected it was only my second run. Nobody gave me flak for dying either and I feel like I carried my weight well enough for a 27. Ended up with a Found Verdict and a million energies for my efforts.
