What/how should I prepare for raids?

[stone lily]

Hi friends! I'm at that weird time between mid-end and endgame content, I need some help to make that push! Any tips to get good gear/general advice would be very appreciated!

Go in with what ever, doesnt rly matter

Vog and ron can be done w any gear

[wispy cape]

You can do all raids with any gear

[royal plover]

First learn basic in yt, second join sherpa run, third keep playing until you understand whole mechanic

gear are optional anyways you can use damaged traveller choosen at the witness bosses

God i hate the word count limit so much

Bring a heavy weapon that matches the surge and encounter type.

Dont use a sword and shotgun against the witness and dont dps with a machine gun for exemple

Have a good rocket launcher on you at all times if someone is using gjallarhorn.

U might need to ignore the message above me

[stone lily]

Why wouldn't you choose to do this? The only good heavy roll I have is a machine gun 😭

[pastel sun]

There r no surges in regular content anymore

[eager python]

I didn't realize that thread existed

[short plover]

No surges in normal raids

[short plover]

if your looking for dps most of the time rockets are used so if you just be G horn dude then your fine

if linears become better in the future sleeper is not the best but will keep you coverd in that regard to

[modest fox]

Ignore linears

Gls are better then rockets

Ignore mgs for dmg

[summer drift]

Any ol rocket launcher works better than a machine gun

You can also farm a decent edge transit from onslaught.

Oh great, cant even post links now

Just look up aegis on youtube, the guy makes informative videos on what is actually good in end game content

[short plover]

I mean i have not done any testing or seen the numbers myself so I cannot comment but even if that is true the large amount of LFGs are under informed and will not like GLs if there doing rockets

• getting apex crafted is easier than getting a viable edge transit or something so for starters I would still say rockets personally

[pastel sun]

I think most lfgs r aware gls r better now

[summer drift]

i hope so, been a long time since they were very strong

like before lightfall at least

[short plover]

I have not raided in a few weeks so was not sure is it not stilll hunt apex anymore?

I just assumed we were talking mostly the latest raid as well

[glossy wren]

for hunter's this is still the best loadout

[true trout]

I love when yall just have conversations with yourselves

[eager python]

I need Sherpa

[pastel sun]

Rockets were strongest in lightfall

raids are super easy youll be fine you can be carried

as in go in with green or white gear no one will bat an eyelid

[waxen osprey]

Honestly I'd jump in with whatever you have saved up. A good sherpa will be able to carry you through while still teaching you.

Really the only thing separating mid from endgame is knowledge. Both of the activity and your build/class.

And as they say, practice makes perfect. So the more knowledgeable you are with each raid the better you get at until you can tackle it with any gear equipped

[glossy wren]

Still have to watch a guide tho

[eager python]

i wouldnt necessarily say a guide is needed. ive been sherpa'd blind through the majority of d2 raids and was fine in each run

and i found it wayyy easier than learning via a youtube video
