Most of the raids I stayed away from involved tilaen. I assume it was because of my lower rank, but spell evasion just hardly ever worked (I seemed to have much more success with it against invokers practicing at 41). Two geysers would basically kill me, and they did just that quite a few times while I was trying to defend against a larger group. I also remember you bitching at us for not using tactics, but when things like blackjack and critical hit will lag you long enough to die (not to mention the usual raking lion), there isn't much you can do. I would have been a lot more gun ho about it were I a hero, but the chance to rank just never presented itself in the last month or so... I assure you I was looking for it.
