Loyal, reliable and fast T2/3 players are the T1 player's key defense against being out-MVPed by rival T1 players. It's competitive up there in the top 100, after all. If you help a T1 player defend his MVP, he'll be VERY grateful. I know I am. And I get annoyed by flaky players

I'll show you the math:

Imagine a boss with 500m hp. Say I 2-cube it for 240hp - it has 260m hp left. That's kinda risky - it means another T1 player can swoop in with a 2-or 3-cube-hit an eat up the MVP with a 260m strike.

If a T2 player (or a few) hit it for 10m+ dmg, the hp left will be below 240m hp. Then my MVP is 100% secure - nobody can topple my MVP, it is mathematically impossible. Rival T1 players can only 1 cube it for the base points (still a good deal for them) but no MVP.

If anyone is able to do what I described above, I would absolutely love to have you on my ally list. ARO - I was  actually thinking of starting a thread regarding what players look for in a good ally. I have no T1 allies in my list so the only L8 bosses I see are random. I 1 cube them all though because they are fairly precious. (I think I had two, maybe three from you this past event) I'be sent out requests like others have but they just get ignored. Sounds like the best thing to do is hit the chat
