Overall guys, very good job. I think we're coming along. I want to point out a few things that were discussed during and after the two fights.
#1 We're not going to win all of these. The simple fact of the matter is, 90% of us don't play all the time and with each other to all be 60+. We're going against ENTIRE wb's full of all 60+ or entire wb's full of 70+. We're simply outgunned here and forever will be. We need to realize who we're fighting and be happy that we give them a helluva fight.
#2 We don't play with each other at the T4 level as much as other players. Hell our dagger squad could use a couple more days a week where we kill destro together, but most of us have very busy lives outside of warhammer. It's fine; it's why we're all here in this alliance so we can be casual players. End result is it is going to take us bit longer to get used to fighting in set groups and/or with each other in a full warband.
#3 Us leaders need more experience too. Ben and I both have some experience in the city, but neither of us know ALL the out's and in's. To maximize how well we do, Ben and I both have to lead in the city more often.
#4 We need more dps from the dps. We have great healing and decent tanking. We did a wonderful job pushing into destro's backlines and there were several times I thought we would wipe them (even with the first fight), but because of a lack of dps, we couldn't bring them down. As alliance as a whole, we need to help gear our major dps players like our bw's, aoe slayers, etc. Subgoal for dps, get gear. Subgoal for everyone else, make it a priority to help gear these guys. In the end it's dps that will prove who wins city fights.
#5 WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE BOMBS GO OFF. We almost lost our 2nd city fight because of this. Let me repeat this. WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE BOMBS GO OFF AT THE STARTING TWO BO's.
Cliffnotes:
#1 Don't expect to win vs everyone.
#2 We need more time playing as a warband with each other.
#3 Leaders need more time in the city.
#4 We need to gear out our dps more.
#5 WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE BOMBS GO OFF.
In the end, I think we did fantastic last night. The first group was actually WIPED by us a few times and given enough starting time, we probably would have had middle. The second fight, even though we could have been better guarding the initial BO's and the sapper, was really well played. Did anyone realize that our three groups (minus our best geared group) was taking on ALL of their players while our main group did lyceum, etc? That speaks volumes to you guys and your ability. That's a BIG deal. I think by the end of the second fight, we were having healers use LOS more, tanks staying by their guards more often, and everyone doing a really good job at pushing into their backlines all of which we have to do to be successful.
