Abyss of Mordrath (new raid) starter guide

The new raid has been out for a few days. Below you will find the things you will need to get and do before you can take a serious attempt at the raid. I’m not going to sugarcoat this post this time.

The raid dictates a few pre-reqs that you need. Remember to have fun, but do keep these things in mind. A raid is not for everyone, just as much as some don’t do festivals, dailies, roleplay or alts.

Non-material ones.

  • Have the time to attend and be attentive during the fights
  • Be prepared to spend time learning the new mobs and bosses (It’s a hazardous place)
  • Stricter in class roles and requirements then normal runs

Be prepared – global

  • Have consumables like hope tokens, battle/warding scrolls, fortifying foods
  • Repair your gear beforehand
  • Teamspeak installed (no microphone possible/listen only)

Raid specific – global

  • Raiding is different then a quick 30 min pelagrir. Its more about the group then the person.
  • Every character has to have 150+ Light of erendil (160 minimum suggested)
  • Have the entry discovered (either through travel or the Gimli quest from the reflecting pool)
  • Limited class slots available, cant use 12 hunters or 12 tanks. We’ll try to balance it, but sometimes it wont work

Raid specific – character

  • Hold your class to the highest standard that you can. Trait points, essences slotted, Legendary item maxed, replacing sub level 112 gear etc
  • Non-tank classes 65k+ morale, Tank classes 100k+ morale
  • Mitigations capped (a dead hunter does no dps)
  • Play a traitline that fits the role required for the raid. Sorry for a yellow hunter, dps minstrel or a dps beorning.
  • Raiding is a big group effort. The loot system allows relogs before looting or bind on account for other classes.

Kin specific raiding – Bearlees/squirle opinion
The kinmembers and activities we provide to them vary a lot. Raiding is just one of them. I’m going to leave the leading and organizing to more capable people. Bravery and Adye as officers and other members will lead the charge into the Abyss of Modrath. I’ll provide support, coordination and participate in the raid where i can. Activities in the near future may shift around to give everyone the best chance to enjoy each event they like to participate in, but respect each other choices. And if there is an issue bring it up with one of the officers.
