Kyrie gave me the idea to come here today and post up about hardmodes!
I figured that to make it easier to schedule runs, maybe we should pop down here what times would work best for us, that way no one gets left behind!
For hardmodes, you must be character level 50, I feel bad for saying it but the bosses have a 5min enrage timer which can be hard as heck to hit sometimes so having the appropriate level is pretty paramount.
Gear is another issue, you need to be able to tank / heal or dps as best as you can. If you're stuck on gear, get a bunch of oranges (waist/bracers aren't a must), then pack them out with the rewards from dailies. The tier 23 armoring, mods and enhancements (enh. come from Darkness on Ilum, the heroic 2) are all available with daily commendations.
The right weapon is another must, so again use daily comms and get yourself the tier 23 barrels or hilts and deck out an orange weapon.
You'll need to keep a couple medpacks handy, so be sure to bring level appropriate ones (though you'll only need these on bosses if it's particularly rough), and stims are always a plus – nice for an edge (the blue ones persist through death!)
pre-warning: you will spend a lot on repairs, so if it's a particularly nasty run (here's to you, HM essessesslslsss) then be prepared to drop around 30k~50k on repairs
now! if I haven't managed to put you off yet… it is really fun and worth it! So feel free to post your times that you are available to join ;)
my schedule is very strange, but i tend to be free in the early afternoons and very late evening (after midnight). sorry, i know this is suboptimal for guild activities, but for the next couple of weeks at least i should be available until around 8 pm.
As of now I'm available whenever you guys can do it. Just give me a heads up and I'll make sure to show up. I'm sure we can wrangle Fus and Horik, too.
