BHA Raids 08.16 - 08.22 **UPDATE 2.0**

Next week is up.

For tonight, please study up on LR.

I realize I signed as DPS and heals, so I'll DPS if needed...but is there a possibility I can heal tonight and maybe Sel DPS? I'll defer to Sel and raid leadership, of course. I have a LOT of work to do to (reforge, UI, Vuh'do reconfig...total taking multiple hours) to DPS that I wasn't thinking of until today. I have Holy/Disc set up right now.

That should be OK.

The only problem I see is that TK needs to be Frost for replenishment- is that a problem DPS-wise? I apologize for creating this issue in the first place- normally I've got shadow set up so that I can run it with minimal work, but I made a ton of changes with gear and add-ons to optimize both heal specs for Sunday's Beth attempts.

This act guy is such a noob...

But realistically it could be an issue with DPS, depending on how much the others can pull. I am not opposed to it, as we might be able to hide me in a role that will allow a slight DPS loss to bring replenishment. I'll have Frost as my other spec in case thats the way we roll.

and if it took you hours to set it up, i can go frost no issue. Frost is similar in needs, int>haste>mastery and so forth, to arcane that it will take me only moments to swap out with minimal stress.

anyone have the +20 to all stats chest enchant? I bought the tier chest thingie.

It did literally take hours and I am a total noob for not realizing how much work I had to go back to the old specs until today. I always try to min/max, and it bit me in the ass this time.

I'm going to go ahead and get my shadow spec back up and running because Sel's offspec is enhance, not elemental like I thought, so it's not an even trade.

They're only about 750g on the AH...oh wait...

Bro, its your call, but you don't need to waste all that time changing your gear...

Nah, it's okay. I needed to do it eventually anyway, it's in progress as we speak.

EDIT: Done (I think). I'll have Beth's trash to realize any egregious mistakes. I'm holy/shadow with both specs raid viable.

My alt can do it with mats.

If you can fit in Hansgilles - DPS boomkin into sundays 4.0 raid I would like to try it out. I am pretty well pre-raid gear capped. Please be gentle, it is my first time.

Welcome WorkingClassHero! I'll see what I can do for Sunday, otherwise next week shouldn't be a problem.

Peeps-
Do we want to run on Sunday? If so, what do we want to do?

Personally, I wouldn't mind taking the week off of 4.0 content, since it is quite likely that we'll be running 4.0 two times next week, and only having one progression night due to some of our peeps being on vacation.

I don't really have the bodies for a stellar progression run, but it is serviceable for learning the new fights we have opened up.

Let me know what you think.

Also, great job last night.

Well I was going to suggest BH and Air at least for new peeps, but i think we blew them both on Tuesday. So it would have to be either BWD, BoT, or Firelands.

I am game for whatever, but if a 4.0 this week and a 4.o early next week is possible to get people for progressions 2 nights late next week I would prefer that.

Either way sign me up for drunken raiding!

BH and Throne are indeed both saved to everyone who was there Tuesday.

I'd like to go kill things. VP are good, and raiding is somewhat less boring than 5-mans. Chance at random token drops is good too. I'm sure we still have a few people who could use some loot, and getting people geared so we can get more help in Firelands would be good.

On a similar note, the Lady K has been off house-sitting all week so we haven't gotten any heroics in yet, or really much playing time together at all since she hit 85 except to go get our free Thrall cloaks. It's possible she'll be here and we can get some time in tonight, but she'll be done and home tomorrow for sure, so theoretically she could be available for a Sunday run. I'll see what I can find out about her schedule and/or willingness to risk her sanity with us and (have her) keep you posted.

Also, I would like to strongly not recommend trying Heroic Halfus again, and blame not myself for thinking it was a good idea, but TK for mentioning it in the first place. We couldn't do it without three tanks - two tanks weren't surviving letting most of the drakes out, and the raid wasn't surviving leaving them chained up.

I would said try heroic halfus again.

<------ Has a 3rd tank

good luck, guys!

I take it that this is Ryloth?

Shank did you use blade flurry for the fight for the feet?

with Gannon/sorsha we could probably do heroic halfus...its an option atleast.

More progression attempts in Firelands sounds good to me.

Little update for the BHA- We downed 2 new firelands bosses this week. Good progress. We are still willing to gear up the newer folks, so please sign up.

You'll soon have a newbish Worglock yearning for epics, whenever his big Durid sister isn't needed.

Warlock... what the hell are those? I enjoy your healing toon, but getting a DI buff would be awesomish.

Best part? The 'Lock's name is Horsebag. This pleases me.

Fixed that for you, Grinds, but we knew what you meant.

I've found my mass summons button and have been using it quite regularly, thank you. But you are right, summons to the boss will be great. This should help my laziness even more. I heart horsebag... make me a t-shirt.

That's going to me thank you very much.
