This is how my guild teaches new people to do Serpentis.

imgur.comWow, your guild explains it to other guildies? Mine sticks to the same 10 person clique and refuses to take anyone else.

Sounds like Wicked.

Then why are you still in that guild?
2
Maybe you shouldn't be an elitist : ^ ) or not try to take every item that drops.

Do you know him?
6
No he doesn't, my Reddit name isn't at all related to my in-game name.

The big dick bow..would hurt.

All of AA's endgame pve is standing in some stupid position and using some spell and bugging out the mechanics and just tanking(rarely) and spanking.

The last boss in serpentis actually requires you to engage your brain briefly. Its a pleasant change

I'm sure you prefer WoW pve where the addons literally do the encounter for you right?
2
It's not so much that the addons "literally do the encounters for you" as it is they simply create a UI representation of the boss timers taking place behind the scenes. I'll admit it does take away from the level of reaction required, as their choice of abilities is usually sequenced to a degree, though the timing on some abilities will come out quicker or slower, resulting in suddenly having to deal with 2 environment changes at once.
However overall I would say that I do enjoy WoW's pve more than I did Archeage's but that was not the purpose of my post. I was simply commenting on the lack of polish the dungeon bosses had when I was getting geared. For example things like having a player stand on a ledge and draw aggro so the boss just shuts down and looks at the player while the party simply dps him down. But I suppose the level of quality and fine tuning is more accustom to the genre of MMO AA is (sandbox), and where it originated from(Korea).
The hostility I gathered from your post has made me believe you're truly passionate about AA and its PVE encounters. May I ask what your favorite boss encounter is, and what strategy you find most successful and fun?

wow may be faceroll crap, but archeage pve are not even close to wow in term of fun and challange. Might want to tone down the shit flinging when your in a pit filled with shit.

Instructions unclear - got Big Dick Staff stuck in Asshole...

I've seen these before.. is this Ollo?

yep! this ur main man ckeep here

As soon as I opened it I knew these were from you!

Ckeep senpai!

For the 6th picture, you can just use the mining buff food, the one that stealths. Stealth up your whole raid and skip all the adds, then attack the big one as he spawns. AFK FAP ROOM
2
Yeah, but we clear it without issue anyways.

The first time I did that room someone DCed right before it so I ran to get a drink. Barely managed to stealth in time, fuck me for thinking being a person down means we don't start boss right? haha

It's actually pretty interesting how servers do things differently, probably based on how the first guild on the server figured it out.
- My guild just opens all the boxes and avoids the mobs (maybe 1 or 2 suicides on the part of the box-opener), and then burns the boss and teleports back a room. Then you run around the side every time and never have to fight the mobs.
- Identical.
- We just do wings and have some people doing adds, maybe leave a few at the very end but usually no wipes.
- I have no idea who the fuck Lerman is. Based on room layout I assume it's room 5 and I just get melee woman over and over.
- Identical.
- Get a traveler's campfire, the one that stealths you. Stealth and the mobs kill themselves until the final boss.

do you supply your new people big dick bows and staves?

Can't wait for you Sea of Drowned Love guide.

Can confirm these accurately depict our serpentis runs.

"Derpfuck the Gambler" ... beautiful name !

Serpentis Boot Camp?

Sort of reminds me of people from Eve.

Ollo has the best Serpentis guide. I approve this guide.
1
You guys do Lerman differently than my guild does. We cycle wings and clump up on stairs, no one tanks. We never have issues clearing him.
1
Yeah I've seen a lot of streams who do that. Works both ways.
1
Im all learnded now Hooked on Cronic works for me!

i can do a run in 30 min and you?

Better than my guild, they all decided it's impossible and refuse to even try
Damn. first few rooms you can do with GHA armor and epherium weapons.
I would argue you can do all of them as long as the tank is geared. I go with GHA and T3 Hasla club as healer and clear it regularly.
[deleted]
If everyone has eph/t3 weapons then yah, you can probably do all of them if the tank is geared. Also you need a whole shitload of wings.
bad guild? My guild could finish 4 boss with crappy GHA gears and hasla weapons. It isn't rewarding but we play it for fun
