Question - Raids that can be brute forced?

[eqsubi15]

What raids can be won by sheer brute force?

Can any ToV raid be brute forced? Light on mechanics?

 

[eqsubi15]

Oops, I should have specified a bit better. Are there any raids from HoT onward that can be brute forced?

 

[ToeJamSamy]

Being that most UF raids can now be solod regardless of their mechanics in era, I'd guess HoT could easily be bruteforced, possibly VoA as well. RoF may be pushing it, they'd still be greenish anyway, but what numbers you wanna bruteforce with also would determine outcome.

I'd probably start by trying Argath, and go up or down from there.

For HoT raid, feerrot still need somemechanics that can t be avoided i think

 

[Onamatter]

Depend on your grp makeup, with 6 toons you can do - Cotf dead hills raids - doomscalehoard | RoF shards - grelleth - evantil - 1 of the breeding grounds raids | VoA all tier 1 and 2 and HoT down, most are apart from afew due to mechanics

IRRC the first HoT raid the boss kicks members out of the fight. It's been about two years since I tried it, but this might be an irrelevant mechanic if you DPS it down fast enough.

you think it’s possible to avoid having to send one toon into each of the pyramids simultaneously? Because that’s what you need to do and it’s a pain in the ass.

agreed.. I wonder if you could do a macro with various /bct toon1234 //nav loc xyz for each of the pyramids and then target the according mob standing there? I remember trying to do this before and yeah, gave up.. too annoying.. but this was a while ago and i wasn't as good at MQ2 as i am now. not to mention the tools available via the VV compile have gotten better and better over time too...

I think you also have to balance the mobs down, right? Or can you avoid that mechanic now?

 

[Szazor]

You dont need to balance...but you do need to have 4 people run to the top of the respective temple at the same time.

It'd still be cool to be able to automate that part, and then start dps on their respective mobs.. i figured, if you started all the toons in roughly the middle of the area between the temples, then activate, so they all arrive at their temple at the same time, might be doable.. Maybe this will be a side project to do, it would be a bit of fun (IF) getting it working..

HoT: Tick Tock is easily 1 groupable, soloable even
HoT: Root of Evil in the grounds is a smash and grab
And agree with Onamatter’s list.
Will add apart from first Arx Mentis raid , where 2 group required, the rest in the series are 1 groupable

I do want to take my 2 groups and try some TBM - grummus or addapan (the rat one)

VoA 1 has mechanics you can't avoid (they're trivial, but you still need to shoot the golem, kill the mini mobs, and run the carts). After VoA 1, I didn't run into many issues in other VoA events up through tier 2.
