@Stat: you need 10m static att stats to hit NML without any pots till zero troops. You get 700k from the Ori helm, 3m from the NML armplates and 2m from castle lvl2. (3m from lvl3) Origins is much less (and consider doing Ambush too), basically anyone can hit those epics (Evanescence was around 3m iirc, that would be a 50k att at full troops). Do some easier double plunder bonus epics and you're set. You just need enough activity to finish those ebs.
Anyone know a war clan that doesnt require xtals? Ive got enough for a few wars,until im done with quests.
Successful war clans have to have the added bonus of your xtal use. Without it, you are a weak link. A clingon, per-se. If you find that clan...you're probably not going to stay there...because their EE record will suck.
Well, this feeds into the whole idea of "war xtals" that can be purchased with gold or mith. It solves that problem, but takes away a massive amount of money from ATA. Think like a business.
