WoW: GWJ Alliance Guild Primer

I am happy to tank for instances as much as I can. I sometimes decline to run them though because my time online is sometimes limited and I hate to leave a group in the middle of a dungeon. Having a time scheduled for raids makes it easier for me to schedule my time and notify my wife that I'll be in my office and oblivious to the rest of the world. I also tend to be on later at night when the wife and son are in bed. Making the 7pm server raids can be difficult as my son is still up and needs my attention. Weekdays he usually goes to bed at 7:30pm server time and I'm on after that.

Also I have only run a few Heroic though as I am still gearing up in Kara, but have no problems in regulars.

One thing to look at for tanks and healer ratios which I think was touched on, but maybe glossed over. Five mans, one healer to one tank. Raiding, we are going to need almost a 2 to 1 ratio for healers to tanks. Actually, I think the preferred makeup for our Kara runs are three healers to two tanks. As we move forward in content, that number goes up to 7-8 healers to max 4 tanks. So, the further you go, the less we're going to need tanks and the more we're going to need healers.

Now, I understand a large part of the foundation of this guild is to play what you enjoy. If we have the correct ratio of people for five man content, there are going to be a bunch of tanks that aren't going to be needed for raiding. If we move the correct ratio to raiding, then we're not going to be able to run the five man content as easily. There is going to be a pinch either way. Of course, the dps are pinched doubly so, but I think they like it.

I understand frustration for finding a tank and I understand it for finding a healer. I have 70's for both and it seems equally difficult for me to find the other side of the equation.

I know it's of little help towards Green's goals and current situation but when you guys start hitting 62 and up, Titanos still needs and will need (for a long time) all kinds of rep from CE normal, the Auchindoun dungeon complex, and what not.

Then why are we not running Sethekk Halls and Shadow Labs?

Long story or short story? Short story, I'm lazy.

What's all this then, what's all this?

Apparently not lazy enough to NOT double post!

I have not taken a Warrior to end-game yet. Maybe when I feel the need for an alt on Blackhand I will roll one up.

We are gluttons for punishment. We dps-ers want our meat shields and our pimptacular healers when we *cough* accidentally *cough* pull aggro. The nice thing about all our tanks though is that you can easily move to a dps/off-tank/"oh crap" tank role in 25mans making it possible to take 6 tanks into a raid where only 4 are really required. Our healers, well its harder for them to move into a different role without either gimping their heals by specing weird or gimping their back up spec with hand me down/green gear.

But never fear the DPS will continue to cry for more of both cause we are selfish, demanding and want to kill stuff on a routine basis (totally tongue in cheek)

Same goes for Alydrra, and I'm woefully out of practice for main tanking, I haven't gotten my multiple mob aggro pattern down yet. I've only just started putting together a tanking set for her, (on that note I sure do have to give up a lot of bag space for gear ... well... if I want to be ready for whatever role at the exact moment anyway )

updated, added details on Vent server for quick access.

Updated with my Jewelcrafting list.

If you have an Profession set, created a page and I'll link it here.

I'd just like to take a moment and thank all of the GWJ'ers who work hard putting together stuff like this. Krin, Richy, Vilius, Luna and all the rest of you have been great about helping out fellow guildies. Thanks all!

updated with Troll's enchant list

updated with GWJ Alliance Employee Profiles

Updated with daily quest link.

Amazing what you find when you look for it. I was looking for a general BHA thread to ask about the Fairy Princess thing. I got my answer here. Thanks for consolidating the info, Richy.

Thank goodness somebody studies and knows this stuff. YOU'RE THE DAWG!!! Nice!!

Bump for general awesomeness.

Update with new discussion on suggested raiding numbers, raid leader Luna, and new research sites for characters.

Awesome thread Rich and great job, for the love of all things good and fluffy someone please sticky this thing before it gets lost again.

I was about to say it sure would be great to sticky this, or have a new thread of "important" MMORPG forum thread links that gets stickied.

I'm still new, been playing a week or so and have my first character (Hunter - Beast Mastery) up to level 20. I'm getting to a point where I've gotten the basic understanding down, but I'm frustrated by grouping with the general public. Would it be appropriate for me to send a join request in-game now or is everyone so high a level there won't be anyone to group with on quests?

Last I checked, we still have quite a few people of all levels, not to mention the countless amount of alts that people like to try out from time to time.

Sounds good. In fact, I was invited last night to join! Looking forward to exploring and learning the ropes with you all...well with all of your alts that is (you purple armor-wearing WoW ninjas, you).

You guys looking for another healer?

Lester King wrote:You guys looking for another healer?

Another healer would always be welcomed I am sure.

I'm returning to WOW today. When I played before I wasn't part of the GWJ community, and so this time through I'll be rolling my toon on Blackhand. No idea yet what I'll play (I've got a lvl 70 hunter on another server but won't do anything about that just yet).
Looking forward to joining the guild!

I just hopped into the game for the 2nd time. I played a little over a year ago for like 3 weeks. As soon as I hit level 10 I'll shoot out a msg and get into the clan. KrazyTacoFO is my name in game.
