Thread: NEW Orthanc Raid Progression Thread

New Raid Progression Thread

NO VIDEOS REQUIRED ANYMORE - AT ALL

Clarification: The following relates to Saruman Tier 2 and Saruman Tier 2 + Challenge.

Warning:
Due to two separate methods in which Saruman tier 1, tier 2, and in one of those cases, tier 2 challenge can have much of the difficulty, if not all, circumvented, I regrettably must enforce a rather specific screenshot policy regarding the Tier 2 and Tier 2 Challenge portion of this thread:

1. Screenshots - this screenshot(s) must show 3 things. Firstly, it must show the "Saruman's Ring" UI box at it's 5th stage. Secondly, the screenshot(s) must show the group (12) in ACTIVE combat with the 10 Saruman's, at least upwards of 6-8 of them. Thirdly, the time in the screens (this tends to show in chat windows automatically on taking a screenshot - practise if you are not sure).

2. An additional screenshot showing the "No, my ring!" part of the fight will assist in making sure the fight has been attempted to its completion. The above rule (1) is the most important, but screenshots allow this to show your complete victory over Saruman Tier 2 and Saruman Tier 2 Challenge.

Rules:

1. Be civil. Break this - thread lock time.

Many thanks and applause to TheFrank for keeping the initial thread going so long. It is a pity for it to have been locked but I believe with the new rules above, things may be cleaner.

If you can, take some time to look at the previous thread, understand why it was locked, be ashamed not because of the arguments...but because poor TheFrank tried to keep things in line and people ignored that.
You won't have a list next time, barring your own 'copy+pastes' if these rules are broken again.

If you can complete tier 2 wings, I'm sure you have the ability to be civil as well.

Tower of Orthanc Progression List

On reflection, not many people are reporting Full Tier 1 clears (other than the now locked thread). I will certainly consider adding Tier 1 full clears (alone, not individual wings) if there is enough interest. Note - enough DISINTEREST will not cause it to be removed. Significant interest deserves a response, regardless of what I or any other person may think of the difficulty.

T1 Full clear also ofc but like the poster below me i have to say dont bother with t1 clears, but up to you.

Not sure if you where going to copy paste the progressions from the last thread but I thought I'd post this anyway, if you will copy paste from last thread, feel free to delete this post as it doesnt contribute anything new.

*Edit: Noticed some links didnt work but posted kin page where you can see them on the front page*

Sent a PM to TheFrank asking if I could use the information in the list. Whilst I assume I can (as it is knowledge available to anyone willing to look, AND could just as easily be reposted by every single group) I'd like to make sure I'm not treading on toes before I do so, as he kindly took the time to keep it updated.

Thank you for the posts to get this started again and can't wait to see more accomplishments (good work to all Tier 2 groups...I know it'll be easier NOW, but by gum some of those trash pulls are brutal, though I imagine I am missing plenty about what is going on).

Full Clear T1 for sure also. But I don't think you should list it up...
You could do that already with a normal 6-man group.

Since we are starting a new Thread, I guess it would be best if you only use Acid T2 kills after update 5.1 to reflect the difficulty of the different bosses as they are right now. Acid pre-5.1 was a joke, now it's probably the hardest nm except Saruman.
