Template:Raid strategies

Incursiones will have elements that can be pre-planned.

• Required composition of DPS, healers, and support.
• Key positioning.

Raids will also have dynamic elements that can change from session to session.

• The types and numbers of bosses and mobs present in the raid and their skill repertoire.
• Variables are manifested based on node progression.
  • The number of metropolis nodes developed.
  • The types of metropolis nodes developed.

One of the design elements that we're implementing into our raids is that the raid will not be exactly the same every single time. You're going to have variables that can't necessarily be pre-planned out for. You can pre-plan out for a lot of the raid like how many DPS do you need and healers and support; where the key position and all that stuff; but I think the compelling aspect of Ashes raiding will be the difficulty in achieving this content and having that content change from session to session as well. We want there to be variables that get manifested by what type of node got developed elsewhere. Is he going to have acolytes or cultists? What will the acolytes have skills [available] to them? What kit is the boss gonna have? What available skill repertoire will the boss be able to [wield]? ... A lot of those systems are influenced obviously by world development. So the raid takes into account at what stage has the world developed: Are there two metropolises now available in the world? Okay well let's activate this skill in this skill. Now you have five metropolises, well now all these skills have been activated. Are there are they all economic nodes? Are they all military nodes? That we can change things based on that stuff. And it really is a threat assessment from the environment against the players.{{ndash|Steven Sharif}
