So I would like to get my Spiritual Squall RKIII and am curious if any of the TBL raids are 1 Groupable? What say redguides?
 
negative. I've done plane of fire with ~30 chars, 12 of which were alts/boxes, some MQ2 some unassisted. That was cutting it close.

To be a bit more specific, you will not be able to follow the mechanics with just 6 characters. Plane of Smoke absolutely requires that you tank 4 bosses in different areas while also dealing with adds and "run away" emotes. Plane of Fire will have a portion of the fight that requires you to tank the boss and 2 big HP adds at the same time. You then have to balance down the 2 adds and kill at approximately the same time. Meanwhile those adds are pumping out front and rear cone AEs that do significant damage to non-tank classes. Stratos starts off with 3 timed waves of 10-12 mob that hit very hard. Only a few can be mezzed. But even if you were able to get past those 3 waves and kill the next 3 bosses, the 4th boss mob is a straight burn fight that continually spawns adds the longer he's alive. You need about ~8-10Mdps on a 90s burn to get him down while controlling the adds.
 
Many server will have open raids they are your best bet if you are not in a raiding guild. Bertox has the guild alliance but they are not doing TBL atm.
 
Great question actually. What are some raids our maxed out groups can do, and are they worth it? Frosty Gem of protection is one and very easy. Can we handle EoK with 115 max AA CoV t3?

perhaps Droga and chardok Prince, but the rest have mechanics that can't be brute forced at this point.

COTF, ROF and TDS are about as high as you'll go on brute force alone.
 
I thought someone mentioned that the ROF overthere cactus may be 1 groupable now
 
Cotf, tds and rof have clickies and spell runes that are still used for some classes
 
i'd say nothing from TBM forwards is 1 or 2 groupable.

i've heard someone on our server boxed Stratos with his 9 groups. Now, that is walking and chewing gum at same time.

2 of us running 3 groups each have gotten Griklor down
 
I am working my way up through the expansions 54 Boxing(90% Silver Accts), and I am currently doing Arx Mentis raids which have some chaotic stuff happening, but nothing un-doable, and All lots of Fun.

I think some of the TBM raids will be ok, and then will probably run into a brick wall. When 54 Boxing - even Balancing is difficult.
EOK - Even Prince, or Droga have some dumb mechanics - not looking forward to that.
ROF - Cactus seems doable - I havent joined a Cactus raid recently, but I believe it got nerfed for some reason. So it may be the only Raid in ROF that is currently doable.
ROF - Drusella 1 - could probably do - if you automate the dumb mechanics, and the /say
New Plane of Hate - Maestro should be doable. Inny?...maybe
New Plane of Fear - Drocoliche Maybe, Cazic? doubtful
Stratos...pffft dont think so. For starters - i dont have 54 Gold Accounts, with TBL - so I wont be doing that.....FTP toons only have around 200K hp - they would get chewed up by the dervishes. If you "Borrowed" 54 Gold toons, I can believe Stratos would be doable.

BTW - Is there any official word on when TBL is open to FTP?
 
@Szazor GMM is FTP right now, so the 54 accounts, you may be able to get that going.
I am guessing 1 group is 115?
 
Maestro is doable if you have pally's. Ros has one raid you can do if you have 4 tanks and 4 healers, it alot easier than cactus raid. Pofire raid is doable with 3 tanks. Gmm is doable with 1 good tank maybe 2 for the dragon, 5 for the second event and 3 to 5 for the last event. Dragon is burn and can ignore most of the event but if not enough dps will need to switch to medic and kill them then back to the boss or get 3 bards and can ignore the medics.
