TOPIC: True Horde - Friday Strategy/Planning

Binia's proposed list works for the three attendees I have in pod #3.

My main criteria is to be in a pod with the other 2 people in my group.

Arcanist Kolixela wrote: Barbarian - 3 Preferred
Bard - 1 Preferred
Cleric - 1 Preferred 1 best gear
Druid - 2 Preferred (3 with Ed)
Fighter - 2 human 2 dwarf Preferred
Monk - 2 Preferred (3 with Ed)
Paladin - 3 Preferred
Ranger - !5! Preferred
Rogue - 2 Preferred
Wizard - 1 Preferred

So from this list it looks like the only contested class is Ranger with 5 wants. Binia might go Druid but the other 4 have only Ranger listed.

We only have 1 Bard listed, that seems like an issue. If anyone wants Bard it would be a good idea.

We only have 1 Wizard but I am not sure if that is an issue. If it is (and Kirk would loan a build) I'm happy to swap over to Wizard for this run if it's considered better than running my Druid.

2 Cleric 2 Druid 3 Paladin seems like a good amount of healing IMO? I have the 3 piece set so I'd be bumping healing rather well

And your only bard is Lady Brittany, who isn't exactly known for playing well with others!

Wait a sec! Arcanist isn't playing a Wizard? What blasphemy! Have you finally decided to hang up your wizard hat?

Yep. After many months of poisonous negativity sent my direction for my attempts to help with class imbalance I sold off all of my Legendary tokens and swapped over to Druid in an attempt to recover enough of my enjoyment of the game to avoid quitting entirely.

I am hoping that this year goes better and I come away from it feeling better about TD in general.

Sorry Incognito interrupted me while I was putting this together (updated post 2). We still need to determine what is going to happen with Ranger and Binia if you switch to Druid then we would have 4.

Healing is going to be huge in this because we can heal between groups so if the healers are geared well the teams will last longer.

I can speak to Team Eric (Jim and myself) we will have +20 healing.
Team Raven has quip (well geared) with no one slotted for Cleric.
Team Stu has Brad and Arcanist (can you estimate your + heal please).

You don't already have a repeat win? That's a shame

If we want another cleric, I can switch to that. You can move me around groups as needed.

I will move him.

Ok, I will tentatively move you there.

If we want to try to figure out who our 2 unknowns are, the events site has the list of all 30 attendees . Process of elimination should tell us who they are if someone has time to map them. Then maybe we could get in touch with them to coordinate. Given the event, it would be especially nice to have them involved in the planning if we can.

From the guidelines thread:

Eric wrote: If something targets X (e.g. 2) players, then you can target any X valid players, regardless of what team they are on.

So... Something to keep in mind for those using Lenses of Divine Sight. The two targets you are healing can be on different teams. Should be easier for us to avoid "wasting" healing.

Why would you switch from monk to Druid, Ed? And why are you disregarding the potential layout I made up?
