From a 29 to other 29s (Regarding the Hard Raid)

I understand why 30s are reluctant to play with 29s in the hard raid. Many times I've tried to complete the raid on hard, though all but one of my tries have been with a full 29 team and we never made it past the confluxes. While I didn't expect much from the beginning in these raids, the performance of a majority of 29s were honestly rather pathetic. There would usually be one or two of us that were holding our own and everyone else would only get 5-15 kills per death, which when a majority of the enemies are goblins is kind of a letdown, even if you're a level below the enemies. These people were responsible for a majority of our wipes, either they all died and the remaining players were spread too thin or they couldn't kill the enemies fast enough while defending a confulx. I was shocked at how these players would see their poor results in the darkness screen time and time again yet still think that they completely had what it takes to complete the hard raid all the way through. They simply refused to believe that they weren't good enough to do it. So the next time a 30 rejects you for being a lower level, don't take it personally, they've probably just had bad experiences with 29s in the past and don't want to risk repeating them. Disclaimer: Level 30s, this is not an excuse for you to be dicks to the lower levels, lets keep it civil guys. [b][u]Note: I get that level is not an indicator of skill but the difference in damage/defence between a single level is enough to make an average player a bad one and vice versa.[/u][/b] Edit: Guy's I'm not saying level 29 = bad, I'm just noting that from my experience there are more bad 29s than good 29s and going on that I can understand why some people wouldn't accept level 29s into a hard raid. I personally have no problem with having 29s in the group so long as then can hold their own.

  • Lvl 29 doing hard mode is a lot harder than a lvl 30 doing it. Basically all mobs are lvl 30, any one lower than 30 is automatically doing 32% less damage and taking 32% more damage straight of the bat. If a lvl 29 is using a weapon that isn't maxed out then they are doing even less damage. Meaning of the weapons attack power isn't 300, let's say just for arguments sake the weapon is 260 attack power, divided the attack power of weapon by 10 and that's the level the weapon can do max damage on, so a weapon of 260 is maxing out on level 26 mobs. This doing less damage on a level 30 mob. So rule of thumb if your lvl 29 and going into a hard mode raid, make sure you have all weapons maxed out to 300. Enjoy the hard mode
