What comes around goes around brothers

That was such weird behavior from the NA mid 8mans last night. Alb had one 8man pug with a really ****** set up and we got two fights were Tilt and that other random group just added on both fights. So, ppl just logged off.

You didn't log because you ate a nasty perfect in approximately 20 seconds while we had 2 orange guards and 1 red guard on our supports?

We logged because it was midnight EST, ppl have jobs, and you were assjamming everything else.

When you guys logged at 3pm est Saturday, was it because you got 20s'd in breifine when our BM wasn't wearing armor? Oh ya, that was a "vulture"....

We never fought you anywhere near a keep as Albs. Are you going :gagga: ?

Happens when you a hib group we only get one demez and when he is mezzed and you get mezzed and GP is down ah ****** goes down!

Also one thing I think Ceo is the best Shaman I played with and that's when groups against him had group cure


but that's mid 1.65 for you easyz mode

Then again Albs have a nasty group set up at this age shocked no one runs it and shocked no one runs paladins man endo its important

soon they will on that other server

I've found that, in most kiting groups, a Paladin's endo range is so small we're better off using End4 pots anyways. The End chant works in the few push groups Alb has, and Dark Dawn seems to had made to have made it work in their setup, but with a pug caster/hybrid it just doesn't make sense.

What's your secret group comp, Edlolz? Alb certainly has a a wide range of cool, fairly competitive group comps for this server, and I thought I've seen most of them! Would love to hear about another, and sharing is the best way to see it out there.

3 Det tanks
1 Pally
2 Clerics
2 Minstrels

We ran this on classic servers back in the day and smashed almost everyone and we weren't even templates yet.... If INFIS asked me what realm to roll I would of made them go alb and do that set up

Oh yeah, I love that setup. Purga was running that exact comp for awhile. The Band was doing it with 3 tanks (we were flexible) + Friar back in April. And Trained Again is currently running it with 3 tanks (I think Pally, Arms, Merc..) + Theurgist, I believe. Double Minst is just too sweet! It's unfortunate there are so few Minstrels now that are willing to play the class properly. Once my brother and I get our Minsts to 50 and templated, you'll be seeing that comp more often.

And with a Friar, as it rightfully should be! From my experience so far, I'm thinking the best three tanks would be Reaver/Arms, Merc, Paladin. Whether you go for Arms or Reaver depends on whether you're fighting more tank or caster groups, IMO.

What was your guild name? I think my guild was inspired by a video of an 8man on a Classic server, can't remember which one.

*Edited for clarity*

@Aelred - A few of us were RPR-Realm Point Removers. We didn't invent the setup, I think that was Brute Force or PlayerBase that made it popular. We only ran it for a few days before one or two ppl had to stop playing for work and the classic squad got shutdown to play on our main servers. It was terribly fun though and those of us that were there for it wish we could have run it more. It would be weaker here without dashing defenses, sos, etc but I would think it would still be strong... especially with 3 str relics.

Excellent memory! Player Base was the guild, I believe. It is insanely strong against hybrid and caster setups, with 2xSoS, and 2xRed pets (I believe they can interrupt through MoC on old RAs too, but I haven't actually seen it in game). However, it is heavily countered by other tank groups though, IMO. All else being equal, Hib tankers tend to outlast us, and Mid tankers are better at putting bodies on the ground.

First time i saw it was Invictus on nimue 2003.

Aka alb pain train. 3 arms 2 mins 2 clerics paly.

Just rotate bof and soldiers barricade. Kill casters fast and outlive everything.

I remember them. I also remember doing our own tank 8man in Sacred Fury (early Nimue/ Tintagel Cluster guild) but running a Sorc instead of a second Minstrel. It actually worked out pretty decent. I think most of the Alb 8mans (pre-catacomb expansion) ran a Theurgist, Sorc, Minstrel, Merc, Merc (maybe armsman), Paladin (2H), Cleric, Cleric. I really miss bodyguard!

Man you guys are really trying to re live the old glory days of VN ey?

You are right though, it wasn't a vulture. Just checked the footage and you guys hit us and beat us, however we were going to med. It was a good hit though and you beat us. Happy to concede it to you cause you guys seem like overall you have good attitudes and don't give up.

Also, as far as the time we hit you and Buds fighting, that was in retaliation to Buds adding us which they've done several times in the last few days. Hence why we hit them and not you initially. Buds use to be the best Alb grp on the server, the problem with that is they don't seem to handle losing very well.

Anyways, much respect to INFIS and the fights you provide us. I'm too old for this VN drama though.
