I think its Largos duo CM and Dhuum CM

I know that it might be difficult. If you rly want to there are some tricks you might do. Have you tried double shortbow soulbeast? It is much easier to play effectively so you can focus on other things.

> Please educate me here, I have two guilds that do raiding, the one is still training and learning w1-4 and the other guild has a static group and only makes a second group for training if they have enough people and sadly they stop raidining once the static is done with the newest wing. I have never found out how to get a training raid group for w5-6 despite asking a few times and even making a post on the forum. So how do I get into this. I even thought that on the day after the release of w6 I would find training groups but most of the groups already asked for kp or knowledge of the mechanics and had no interest in training people.
My guild raid 2 times per week. We do W1+ in one day and continue the second day (we skip wing 4 if we dont do it first day since it is easily pugable and we dont do deimos). If the squad is doing well and we do all boses quickly we do something we need training in like largos or dhuum.
Sometimes we have newer players or we play badly so we dont get to the hard stuff. Obviously if we cannot do easy bosses we will not be able to do the harder ones.

You can find raid squads with your necro too. Speed and succes will not probably be very high in both cases.

I reviewed Snowcrows for builds, and I see support chrono for mostly Zerker with a few pieces of Diviners...

Standard power gear from snowcrows (you can take more diviner pieces for safety).
Also get one knight trinket that you can exchange for berserker trinket if you want to tank. I dont know if sc build uses berserker amulet but if it does then take amulet since that will get you above renegades and soulbeasts (only problem left would be firebrand)

I play on EU. I raid for almost 2 years now and I never metany toxicity, outside of training/guild runs I get a kill in few tries, my PUG squad is filled within minutes and I was kicked only once (I would have left anyway I guess) because that guild blamed me for failing mechanic that they didnt understand correctly. After that I explained the commander what they are doing wrong, he thanked me and I wason my way.
If you are playing in NA then I am sorry for all NA raiders if this is standard but I would have expected that. If you play in EU then you must be very unlucky

> Anet you are so kitten incredibly inconsistent with everything you do in life that i am wondering how you are still running a working business. How badly are you organized? Why does rev heal have sound effect and a blue light stuff that you can maybe somewhat see under scourge aoes, holographic stuff and 20 mesmer clones when it's activated but warriors defiant stance (which is better version of herald heal) has an aura effect that nobody has ever seen cause aura effects were nerfed to not exist in this plane of space and time and no sound effect indicating that it's activated? Anet, why is this the case? There's multiple same kind of things in this game which baffles me greatly if you have a working staff that gets paid money. What do they get paid for?
I dont understand your problem. Warrior heal is harder to notice. Thats what makes it diferent from herald right?

Sorry but isnt scrapper very good in pvp now?
Also interesting fact: in game skt vs liquid jungle matchup was lee sin vs Jarvan. Both very old champions.
Karthus jungle was dominant pick whole split in europe. Karthus is very old champion.
Jayce top is not that old but he was the 100th champion and was go to pick toplane last worlds.
This versions of sejuany and gragas are also quite old but were meta last year...
I cold go on but I guess I made my point

Most raiders dont use stat infusions.

My czech/slovakia guild run raids 2-4 times a week. Sometimes we do trainings but most of the time its not training but just clear. If there are new players we take them to raids and we explain everything if someone is new. We will gladly help with builds and answer any questions. If someone can speak the language, is willing to gear a character and practise sometimes we will gladly take him to raids
(Our guild is not a raid guild, you dont have to raid to join us)

This is meta for all fractals that doesnt require chrono skips. In fights where ports (or supperior pulls) are needed chrono is still relevant but top tier partys usualy bring power chrono for that.

Crossroads inn do training every week 3 times. Each tuesday there are 2-5 squads of totaly new raiders. The are not more because of number of commanders and not new raiders.
Lfg is not a place to look at participation since it is mostly used by more experianced players and many of them fullclear at monday.
I will show picture of lfg in evening/in monday to show that it is very active

Do understand though that raiding in GW2 has almost nothing in common with casual open world GW2. The closest you might get is T4 fractals and challenge mode fractals. If you expect to simply add raiding to your daily regiment without willing to invest time into mastering your class/game mechanics (or join training groups), it will be near impossible.

Here is my bigger picture. Someone new ask about raids. He got answers. Then someone comes and reply that raids are toxic, bad designed and players are gatekeeping newcomers so they cannot join (all statements are false in my opinion but whatever). That player might then thing that this is true and spread complain about raids without even trying.
If you are saying that there should be multiple dificulty levels and so anet should increse raidteam size so they can implement these changes (and keep the size after because they expect more players) then I am gladly behind you.
If you are saying that curent raidteam should delay new wings for dificulty lvls then no.

I started when there were those "barriers". I just joined training discord to learn, i joined training pugs and I joined normal pugs and explained that i dont have li but i know the fight. Never met any problem.
Elitists are not saying that everyone needs to be on the same level. They just want to play with players onthe same level. Nothing wrong there.

I adivice you to find a guild or training discord where they are willing to teach you.
It is supposed to be hardest content but it also is very fun

Right now there is one path for the commander. Your idea is to add "bad" path. Then either it is doubke the work for developers or no matter your choices it will play out the same. That is bad because then main character doesnt create the path but just rides along
