Nothing more infuriating than a team that doesn't want to hook. Personally I do it all the time, but when a low dps team can't break through the shield it's just annoying. At this point I'm convinced people are just going for the 40% damage core which imo is just ruining any sense of teamwork in the game. If you don't hook what is your reason?

There's just too much damage and too many revives for strategy to matter. Nobody even gets upset with people who permadie in naem...Because it just generally doesn't matter.
ATM the only raid that honestly requires the TEAM be somewhat decent is Refuge of the Dead, and that's purely based on him heal spamming and landing it everytime. But even that would be offset by someone with enough AD I'm sure.
It's bugged af (+ I've shitty internet) so I don't even try doing it with my Sylas. 99% of the time he just drops from it. So even if my party have like 0 dmg I don't give a damn ****.
But when I'm playing Miri/Evie and noone does it I'm doing it myself.
But tbh idc, I've enough free time to do it for 10 mins or even longer.
And then nobody hooks full-armor abomination and the raid takes 15 minutes.That pride served you real well
I also don't bother hooking if host is a bit laggy/my internet is being poopy
That said even if I do hook every time... I usually can manage >40% ;-)
Solo I always hook once each time, assuming abom will let me...
For those of us that enjoy a long fight, the shield can be thought of as a longer test of your own discipline. That being said, with parties being 4 man now, it seems that the knowledge should be passed along in case you do find yourself in a low DPS party, without a solid carry.
A youtube search helped me to understand what is required, and i figured anyone else that has been ignorant to the help this can provide the party could use the information as well.
Enjoy your time.

I might actually start doing that, thank you.
- A low dps party should always ring the bell.
- A party with 2 players with 4-5k AD will actually be a bit faster if you ring the bell, as long as you skip the trap(s) after the 1st platform. Ringing the bell will make the run take longer if you're waiting for each trap before swinging. The bell should not be rung at 3 bars though. The 3-bar shield is faster to just cheese through.
- Neither of these are likely to happen with pugs, so you should probably just lower your expectations or don't run with pugs.
