Advise on MPG trails

[canzan]

First off, I would like to say thank you for all the good advise I have already gotten from this board.

I am the member of a solid group. We consist of a 70 pally GM Cultural armor, 70 Cleric GM Cultural armor (plenty of AAs), 70 Druid, 70 Necro (Ton of AAs), 70 Ranger, and myself (70 Shaman). We have no problems taking down MPG content, but none of use have any raid level gear. Mostly DoN Teir 1 and GM Cultural, with some DoN merchant stuff.

My question is, which MPG trial would you guys think we have the best chance of succeeding at. We have only tried one trial (Fear) and we did not do so well. I believe most of that was due to it being our first time. I have read the write ups on the trials and I thought that fear would be the best one to start on, but since I have no experience in these things, I would appreciate any suggestions you might have. I would also appreciate any key bits of knowledge that might help, that may not be in the writeups. Heck, I would even appreciate some tipts on which parts of the guide are vital to pay attention to (meaning, knowing something from the guide, and understanding that it is critical is two different things). Our group really works well together, and I would hope to be able to complete at least a few of the trials without having to rely on swapping some members of the group for outside people.

Thanks in advance for your time.

I've only done three of them so far, but they were pretty easy for the groups I went with. I'd say Subversion, but you have no pick locks types; I wonder if you can get lucky and win that by only doing caster and priest chests?

Goblin rogue spirit shroud has the ability to detect and disarm traps as well as pick locks. Have not tried it in the trial yet, but might be a possibility to overcome that shortfall.

fear should be easy enough, probably give a shot at weaponry and efficency. with a necro and chanter in the group id say theres very few you cant do. the one where you farm weapons (ingenuity) might be tougher but the nexro could always start it and just FD the whole time (dont let him try to run then FD, this makes the boss path around the entire area). subversion your going to have to have someone sit out to fit in a bard or rogue, someone has to be able to picklock chests, and the rest of the casters need to have their "picklocking" spells from ldon. cnt do the without bard/rogue, new chests dont spawn. efficiency if going to hurt some, theres a zone wide debuff that takes 3k or so hp, mana and endurance, cant resist it or cure it (anymore).

Fear it. Then slow it.
No need for malos. The fearable mobs are gimp. Any fear at all will do.
Assist heal. Slow all mobs. Malos the ones that are being mezzed to help out chanters.

Keep panther on dpsers champ... and kill the MTs mob.

I play 70 necro and 70 shaman. When I played necro for Fear Trial, the key is having the toggle closest NPC button mapped.

I was constantly turning left and right, spamming the toggle closest NPC button(B key). Watch your target window. As soon as you see a fearable, nail him with invoke fear, etc. Most of the time, I had the fearable mob targetted BEFORE he rushed our group and I was casting as he charged to us.

I use WASD for movement, the entire fight for me was AD, and spamming the B key to find a fearable target. Fear mobs and dot/send pet on the rest.
