You got it backwards bro, in old ra's there are very few active ra's and 8man groups are the ones that will be fighting constantly. Ra's don't play a huge role like in New ra's with short 5-15min cooldowns. It's mostly about passives and group synergy that will allow you to succeed, active ra's are for those Oh Sh#t moments. If anyone's going to wait for them it will be Pug groups who can't win without them. You seem to not understand how much of a gap there is between elites and pugs, they probably wont even need to ever worry about ra's.

The only thing that will challenge elites are other equally skilled groups and zergs. You've got a good imagination though, but unfortunately that's not how daoc works.

8v8 grp don't need to wait for anyone and are the ones who build by far fastest. Either u ask someone out of ur pool by whatsapp IRC ts or whatever and u ll ve the missing class or u just log someone else's char. Pug have neither of those options to build a decent grp so they need to pick whatever is available. They r not even close to be as good connected as 8v8 player and/or they refuse to play anothers char.

@Seksy and pweet

in your enthusiastc defence of 8v8 elitists you choose to forget that I was merely referring to Moondragon1's statements:
Moondragon1 wrote:... All I remember is seeing groups hanging out at the portal fort waiting for their RA timers to reset before going out again. That's fine if most people are smoking some kind of illicit drug in between fights, but for the non-stoner crowd it was a terrible wait every time. Forget waiting on portal ceremony and all that crying involved, the wait for RAs was worse in the 8v8 crowd. But I'm sure most of you think it's just fine or don't remember it because it gives you the opportunity to smoke different substances between fights.


that aside, yes, you are right, PUG's wait for RA's and the absolut right char for a 'decent' setup while 8v8's elitist groups don't have a care for RA's and happily run around in a less than optimal setup oO

cheers

What crit range do Wild Arcana have? 1% - 100% or 1% - 50% value or something else? Will it critical the strength debuff, snare and heal values from disease?

Will Group Purge purge the pets of grouped players? Will it give immunities to all players and pets that are purged?

How much resistance will Brilliant Aura of Deflection give? Will it be primary or secondary resists?

Will Avoidance of Magic give primary or secondary resists? Will it give resistanse to only damage or CC and/or nearsights as well?

How much damage will RAs like Ichor, Rune of Decimation, Volcanic Pillar, Unquenchable Thirst of Souls, Wrath of the Champions do? What damage types are they?

HA haven't you been around, the staff will hardly tell us any information and you expect to get specific skill/mechanic information? We all know they keep everything a secret because of current and future competition.

oooohhhh, secret ... not that everybody who wants that information can research/check/test to find it out ... just as Uthgard staff does ... but it takes time and effort, much more time and effort than most freeshards are willing to put in

I've been trying to find answers and reliable sources to the questions I asked above. And other questions as well without any luck.

If you or anyone else know the answers to any of them. Or where I can find it please PM me.
