Gods Of Voodoo [Loa]
Loa is a prominent DoA teaching guild, known for welcoming many newcomers to DoASC. We are a part of the Golt alliance.
One of Loa's biggest contributions to the speed clears community was writing the first fully detailed DoASC Guide, which later inspired and was adapted into this wiki. [1]
Loa uses their own tactics that has no page on this wikii for most runs.

Required Equipment
All mesmers are required to have standard spiking armor (and a TK illusion piece) and a set of high health armor. You should have a 40/40 Domination set, a high energy set, a long/flatbow, and a demon shield. Make sure you have Res Scrolls and Summoning Stones, and enough cupcakes, corn, eggs, pie, war supplies, apples, and personal DP removal to last the whole run. Rank 5+ in all relevant Eye of the North titles is also required. For more information, see the guild discord.
Loa Tactics for DoA
The skill level and effort that people put into casuals can vary greatly. Because of this the tactics revolve around flexibility depending on the capabilities and willingness of each person in the team.
Expectations
Tanks: Tanks of the guild on guild runs are encouraged to be capable of doing your job in almost every circumstance. Tanks should not be the point of failure in a run, even if other parts of the team are failing their job. The bars of the tanks are always up to preference but it is emphasized that tanks be consistent regardless of the bar they have. The amount of time saved from bringing one skill vs another as tank is almost zero, but the difference in consistency in being able to do your job based on the skills you bring can vary greatly.
Common things that tanks do are:
- Popping full pcons
- Popping pstones in situations that might result in a fail or otherwise near catastrophic event ( unexpected rupts at places like Jadoth, Ranger Underlord, Dervish Underlord, the Cave in Gloom, etc )
- Equipping Infiltrator's sets in Gloom
- Equipping a Vanguard set at Dervish Underlord (along with running a martial weapon with HSR/HCT, +armor, and a blunt shield )
- Equipping Earth Shields in certain areas of Foundry
- Popping 3-pops/summon stones on the last wave of 4th room Foundry
- Changing the placement of a ball or the length of a pull depending on the circumstances of a run (right wall blocking titans in 3rd room, leaving off damage, moving mobs into eoe range )
