Tav on the 25th

[sahearniitth]

There is a strong possibility I will not be able to make Tav on the 25th. I am not 100% sure of this yet as it depends on some travel plans and will keep things updated but we may want to consider either doing only 1 run or who is willing to lead two seperate runs AND has the knowledge as well as who they want for core people (people with expereince) for their runs if I cant make it.

Again this isnt 100% but its enough of an organizational headache when I am there that I want people to have plenty of heads up on it.

My life should settle down after the 27th to where I can make runs a little better although I am still overseas till either the end of July or mid August so who knows about Sundays till then.

I can lead a run but I don't know the upstairs time extensions well.

Incidentally, the estimate for my power to be restored is 11:45 PM on Wednesday night.

If thats the case (and I hope its just a BS estimate they put up to make people 'happy') then I"ll be missing Qufim. I hope power is back long before then though.

I am now positive I will not be around for Tav on the 25th. As I said before the options are to either find 2 people who are willing to run the 2 seperate runs or else do 1 run at your discretion.

I will be posting updated walkthroughs for Tav to address the issues Caskaa raised as well as what I personally do as puller/sacer. There are a few more advanced strategies that other LS use but its not the best idea to try them out unless you super confident with the group (also they tend to be for the specific purpose of farming Body-1 and I think we have more bids for Legs-1). I will also post (in SH section) basic party makeup as well as what considerations to make when picking people.

On a side note I still need the following information. Please ask members to provide it when possible.

Knightblazer - What NIN Af2 does he have.
Ronyn - What NIN Af2 does he have.
Katson - What RDM Af2 does he have.

Posted updated info for farming here:
rustybuckets.proboards38.com/index.cgi?board=dynamis&action=display&thread=17

Also even if you all decide to do only 1 run only puy in 500k towards glass from out bank. Its not easy to justify spendign 1M on somthing we will exclude a large number of members from. I will post basic makeup of allaince (jobwise) later today. Give priority to senior memebrs and members with high bids that they are likelly to win (main/Sub70 without competion etc).

Also need info on AUmon but doubt he will be at run. I can probally check forums once last time around 2pm EST tonight between run and now if you have questions. Busy with cousins wedding today otherwise.

Party makeup for Tav

Tank party
PLD1 (DRK sub ideal)
PLD2 (DRK sub ideal)
WHM
RDM
NIN
Open slot (THF ideal here, WAR or NIN is second choice)

BLM Party
BLM1
BLM2
BLM3
RDM
SMN
Open Slot (BLM first choice, THF second)

Melee Party
Melee1
Melee2
Melee3
WHM (SCH might work better but we havent tried it. I intend to try it my next run)
BRD
Open Slot (THF if you haven fit them in elsewhere, otherwise any melee)

For Melle /nin is VERY helpful (can save them from Taurs and Grim Halo among other things) but not needed.
It is better to let the PLD do crowd control if they have /drk sub and ask a NIN to call.
You will NEED to remind people often to point mobs away from mages and for mages to move out of aoe range. I know it sucks but it has to be done anyway. BLMs have their hands full so Cleo and Dr might want to designate someone to keep pointing it out as needed.
