Wow GWJA: Raid week for 1/18/11 - 1/24/11 (Update #5)

Pages

Please post your availability. Sorry for short notice on post.
Will try to have something turned around quickly for the Tuesday run and then will post an edit for more runs later in the week.

Bhumpy - Tank
Avail - likely any night except Wednesday, 7-11pm server

I have Tuesdays raid schedule. If I've made any scheduling mistakes, please let me know. All raids will be from 7-10 server unless otherwise specified. Please come prepared with food and flasks. Please make sure you are gemmed and chanted for your primary role. EPGP bonus is given for those online, ready and at the instance portal 5 minutes prior to raid start. We've been fortunate with attendance and have been forming group 15 min prior to raid, lets aim to keep it that way if possible

Tuesday - 7-10 Server - staring off at Bastion of Twilight
Tanks - Lawk / Bhump
Heals - Zeer / Rantin / Eppyrose
mDPS - Open / Maxoxx
rDPS - Grinds / Abanna / ZeroKFE

*Based on the amount of interrupts we have, I'd like to hit up Halfus in Bastion first in case we get the shadow nova again. If we can get Halfus down quickly, I'd like to head over to Blackwing and go for Omnitron (again, because of the amount of interrupts we have).

Thursday - 7-10 Server - staring off at Bastion
Tanks - Bhump
Heals - Zeer / Lawk / Belias
mDPS - Alydrra / Maxoxx

This week I might actually be jealous. Showtunes...not so much

Grinds- Rdps, Grindars- Heals Use whichever is needed to make runs go.

Available: Tuesday, Wednesday, Sunday 7-11pm

Walanadorl pally tank item lvl 347 available all week anytime.

Alydrra - mDPS Tues, Wed, Thursday, Sun 7-12 server time.

I'd like to start off for apologizing for not having more raid spots to fill. There are a lot of well geared and well performing players. I would love to be able to throw a second group together as well, but it seems right now are biggest limiting factor on that is healers. We really only have 3 main spec healers signing up at this point.

That being said, I have Tuesdays raid schedule. If I've made any scheduling mistakes, please let me know. All raids will be from 7-10 server unless otherwise specified.

Tuesday - 7-10 Server - staring off at Bastion of Twilight
Tanks - Lawk / Bhump
Heals - Zeer / Rantin / Eppyrose

My goal is to give the tuesday raid and thursday raid a boss that we've downed already. In hopes that each crew gets at least one boss for their efforts. Tuesdays group is built strong around interupts for Halfus and and Omnitron. Thursdays group will be built strong for AoE for Magmaw. If we can down Omnitron Tuesday and Magmaw on Thursday, we'll get a shot at the third boss in blackwing. Ideally putting a Sunday group together to probably go back into Bastion and down the Dragon BFFs. Hoping to have Thursdays raid info up as soon as possible.

In a week or two I'll have a raid-able healing set. I don't have a ton of experience raid healing, especially in Cata content, but I have been keeping up on the Holy news and think I understand the Holy Paladin mechanics enough that it might not be a total disaster.

Sign me up for whatever raid Lawk has to heal. I have a whole bag of mirth here and I'm just desperate to break it out on someone ;p

I am also working on a shammy healing set. It actually is not AWFUL, but its not quite ready yet.

If anyone is willing to "try me out" I would not mind healing a heroic or 2 to see how I do.

Is there any hope of the guild getting any more than 3 main spec healers? And do you really need 3 in 10-man? In other words do we need 1 more or three more healers for a second group?

We probably need at least 2-3 more healers. We have 3 main spec now and 2 ranged dps running as healers due to lack of healers and better availability. This isn't terrible, but the utility on the rdps is pretty good (interrupts, battle rezzes) and we definitely need more healers with more consistent schedules before we can consider running a second group. At this point, it really isn't feasible to raid with less than 3 healers. The changes to mana and cost of keeping people up basically means we're out of mana extremely quickly right now during a boss encounter.

I want to second what bel is saying. We need additional healers. Currently, it is impossible to run with less than 3 on the raid fights we've tried. Healing is extremely intensive right now, not like it was in the old days. If we were to have 2 -3 additional healers, a second run would be a pretty sure thing. Making a plea for those who wish to raid, not much wait time if you can heal.

I'd like to throw my hat in the ring to help any up and coming healers. I have a tank or two (or three) that can help with some instancing and JP accumulation. Catch me on some non raid nights and I'll help best I can.

I've got a priest at 78 that I've been dragging my feet leveling, but I'll make my top priority getting her to 85. I haven't healed at the cap before and I'm sure there will be a learning curve to deal with, so I'll apologize for my incompetence in advance....

I'll also offer up Anriis to tank for any up and coming healer who wants to run instances for JP. I promise not to complain about any healing as I'm hoping no one notices my fumbling attempts at tanking.

My priest hit 80 last night. Unfortunately i dont have the free time now that i did back when Cat first hit so he'll get to 85, just not sure when yet.
