re: Preperations for The Watcher in the Water

As our kin get closer to The Watcher in the Water fight, we must also remember that not only do we need to prepare gear wise, but also we must obtain all the knowledge about the fight as possible. To this end, I am going to give a run down of a few of the basics and then post a strat and 2 videos of the fight.
Now, as the people who have been through the Balrog with me or mostly any other raid know, I believe that the key to winning a fight like this is two fold. 1) Listening to the raid leader, whether it be myself or someone we brought who is more experienced. 2) Coming with all the gear, Status pot, ie healing and power, class items, and time set apart to make a few runs on it. Now this fight is not as long as the Balrog from what I have read, seen, and heard, so it should make the time issue a bit easier.
Here is the link to two strats I have read.

http://lorebook.lotro.com/wiki/Walkthrough:_Vile_Maw
Now, to better illustrate what the walk through is saying and meaning please watch these videos, they are not very long.

The prime class set up is as follows.
2 Run Keepers, 2 mini, 2 Hunters, 2 Champs, 2 Capts, 1 guard, 1burg/LM
If you are planning on coming please post here so I can see what other classes we need to make it work. Thanks!
Thank you for taking the time to learn how to do this so that you may better understand the fight and we will actually beat this boss before the next release of the game. I know with the skill and ability that we have in this kin we will take this guy down! So lets get that radiance gear and get in the grill of The Watcher in the Water!

We will also need a Balrog hope chain unless we want to make it super hard.

I thought I mentioned that..huh, apparently not. Yes, that is why I got the balrog thread going again. We also want at least one hopeful heart slotted mini. I edited my first post!
