PUGS are like a box of chocolates, you never know what your going to get.

I couldn't agree more about teaming with friends. It's your best option to read these guides and do them with friends or as part of a fleet. There may be more than one way to do them but let's be honest, most play to get the gear and just complete them in general. A sound tactic to get both the optionals and the main objective is the best path.



Again, couldn't agree more...

If anyone that normally does pugs wants to have a clean run of at least the main objective and you are willing to come to our teamspeak 3 server, I am at your disposal and would enjoy getting you through. Just pm me
