Nope, a melee. It was a boring and stupid raid. This is excluding the stupid portal keepers.
I have played other mmos. The thing is, all the raiders have mumble, teamspeak, and ventrillo installed. That way, once again, everyone is able to communicate just like in ddo for raids. The thing is, the raids in other mmos are fucking retarded. The vast majority of the bosses are so fucking scripted, it is easy as shit. The only thing you are doing, is finding out what the script is by wiping several times. Granted, if you have a few noobs that cannot learn, it is detrimental. This is why, in endgame raids on other mmos, noobs aren't allowed.
I liked the entire raid up til those fucking necros+priestesses halfway through.
Ddo raids are easy to the point where our world firsts are accomplished with hours or release.
I've played endgame on GW, Rift, Wow and have seen quite a bit of Tera. The endgame in those game isn't as well developed as in ddo due to time of release, but WoW raids are tough enough to require actual coordination.
