was thinking of running Emp Q and Dragon this whole year.
Excellent idea. If you don’t have any previous experience with either Emperor and DragonR, be sure to take them slowly. Perhaps higher focus on DR through the week and emperor couple of times. They are both extraordinary heavy and difficult.
Then this week I wondered whether Emperor in addition to a custom status oriented sub wouldn’t be a good move.
What makes you think that? I would personally add PCC and some result enhancements to that custom; Emperor is quite isolated/loner, perhaps he’s afraid for his life
Also, Emperor has built in status modules/scripts.
(PS: summoning @RVconsultant (wrong section) thanks.)
P.P.S: You might want to consider adding emperor to the custom for name embedding and thus rapid effects. Unless you wish to keep that custom as a stand-alone, which also works.
