Video
This is the video I was able to do (thanks Physiologic for the idea).
It was a random group, and luckily was able to be the only bear.
Please excuse the audio, if ever. Was just in living room and TV with siblings around.
I played and took the video from an iPhone, when I usually play on an iPad. Ping wasn't the best, so you can see some lagging. Also don't mind the speed of the run, since this was again a random group and I just wanted to show an actual video. :)

Nice, I'm a bear and this was helpful, just like Physiologic's video. Only difference is, I don't have a high level archer.

Thanks!
I'll TRY to video a full out run, maybe with Phys and other friends, but it just took a bit of time and effort to video to just do it anytime.
2 books as a stand + iPhone + paper weight for iPhone to lean on. Lol

Great vid should show some bears how to run properly. And this will show a lot of players why bears can be that awesome in a group.
Thanks for the vid!! :) Seems like I have a lot to work on!!

This video not only showed me a lot of tips, but it actually settled a lot of my uneasiness about the bear in the end game. It actually looks like it's a lot of fun.

Ah the great Elly at work :) Yes we should definitely do a joint video together and pull off those 3:30 hideouts! Maybe have a mage record his/her side of the run as well.

If only you got our 2-man hideout run. Would have been perfect for both our videos. Lol!

We can record another one of those as well :) I need to find a way to stabilize my phone while I play though..

Same. It's not as easy having to borrow my sisters phone to take a video, plus actually balancing it on top of books. Wish my digicam worked so i could get better quality too.
I'm off for the day and should be able to play more tomorrow. Hope we can get a complete group on :)

I can do the recording for you guys :). Btw do you mind if I can join :), Raid Roach set can really help speed up those runs :p.

We should get Elly, Echelong, Range, Phys and me together for a Death Train run :p I predict 3:30 with no pots, possibly sub-3:00 with dmg pots.
Great vid Elly. Almost anytime I play with my bear in Hideout (or other BS levels) I think to myself WWED: "What Would Elly Do?"
Your guides and now this vid are great tools.

We could do a dmg/speed pot death train run..... We could get below the 3:07 mark we set last time.

Dang, I feel like the sixth wheel. I want in the speed runs. Those runs with Mooger, Ellyidol and Echelong were the fastest Hideout runs yet. I think we were all runing damage pots. Add in speed pots and we could probably hit below the 3 minute mark.

At the risk of semi-hijacking the thread...at least one of us mentioned is usually on, and usually farming (hopefully) speedily somewhere. No one is a sixth-wheel, yeah those runs the other day were pretty quick Doubletime :) Most have their ign as their forum name or in their sigs.
We were just putting together a group of us for a couple of "video runs" who have known each other a while and know each other's moves, in order to get a good quality video :p

Add my bear, skavengr. I'm grinding out 56 so I'm on a lot.
Nice run ellyidol, I've had a few ppl in random groups say my tanking was very "ellyidol-ish" ( their words, not mine), and after watching this I see why. It was like watching myself playing lol. Videos like this should be required viewing for all new bears imo :D.
I do gotta say over the past few days however that I've been seeing more and more skilled bears in the random groups I've been in, maybe ppl are finally learning? We can only hope lol.

Not bad. I use howl after beckon to keep groups tight. I find using it pre beckon causes still stunned mobs to hang and not get sucked in.

True, should work too.
But the main reason why I cast Scream first is to reduce the damage they do to me while I'm trying to pile them up. Beckon (sometimes) stuns them, plus your Stomp should keep them stunned.
