WoW BHA Raids: 5/1 - 5/6

Thursday, 7pm Server: Dragon Soul
Tanks: Carg, Ell
Heals: Rant, Hack, Lawk
DPS: Zero, Blue, Merph, Shank, Youko

General Note: MinPenCon is apparently attracting people to Ohio this weekend. There's likely a lot of folks unavailable this weekend, so I have no plans to try for something Sunday thiscoming week.

zeroKFE - rDPS, liability
Tuesday/Thursday/Sunday: 7 - 10 PM (one of the above)

I'd sort of rather not do Tuesday, but if that is when the most people are available I can make it work.

Rant is in for Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday but yeah, I'm dragging a lot of us to Ohio this weekend.

The goal this week is a single run DS clear.

They're upping the buff to 20%. So that should be easier.

Tues-Thurs 7PM+

I'm available Tues, Wed or Thurs. Jorrn-ret paladin/melee DPS/voted most likely in his Ironforge HS graduating class to fall off Deathwing's back.

I'm happy to be backup if 10 geared folks want to do this. My work schedule has suuuuucked all of a sudden.

I can join in Tuesday-Saturday evenings. Actually, I had a lot of Goodjery fun in LFG and 4-manning Black Temple last night after Deathwing bit the dust -- I think I may even try to get online on nights OTHER than raid nights (gasp!) and give that another shot.

Tues, Weds, and Thurs are all fine. After that I'll be busy losing at board and card games and suffering from internet withdrawal.

Thursday. Dont say i didnt sign up >.>

Weds. / Thurs. - Shanker

If we are going for a one night clear we should realistically plan for a longer raid.

Are people comfortable going for 7-12 server time? Or is that too long? (adding question to OP as well)

I was thinking a four hour run, not five. But five could be doable with enough caffeine.

I have to quit at 10 server, maybe 10:30. 4AM comes way too quick as it is.

7 server is a good starting time for me.

9 server time is a good stopping time for me. 10 server is doable.

Maybe this isn't my week if you're trying to run the table.

I'm fine starting at 7 server, but midnight's a bit late for me on a weeknight... 11pm stop is better.

I have to be at work at 11:30 server time. Anything after 11 is right out.

And since he dual boxes, that means Blue can't be on after 11 either.
(joking)

I'm available all but friday/saturday/sunday/monday. Gonna see if i can do an extended weekend and see my mom while near Solon.

Same here.

(folks saying they can't go past 10)

We'll just have to be super-efficient.

Here's this week's comp.

Thursday, 7pm Server: Dragon Soul
Tanks: Carg, Ell
Heals: Rant, Hack, Lawk
DPS: Zero, Blue, Merph, Shank, Youko

Enix: I benched you again this week, if that's cool. I think you should get a spot for sure the following week, assuming I'm doing the comp again. (And you're available.)

This week Rant and Lawk popped up one right after the other so I went with the Priest/Sham/Pally healing crew.

Blue and Lawk: Could you guys give me a feel for how you feel about healing vs. DPSing? I know you both enjoy healing, but for future reference does the idea of dpsing bore you so much you'd rather not raid than dps? <-- Asking to be inclusionary, not exclusionary.

I don't have a DPS spec. However, I have a tank spec and a kit of mostly Firelands gear. It has been quite a while since I've done it, but I could prob tank the FL runs we've been doing if it was really needed. Though I MUCH prefer to heal.

I get back in the states Saturday May 5th. Guessing not much is going this weekend with the pencon thing which is fine and dandy cuz I got things to do since I've been gone for a month....so I'll be ready to shatter pixels next week

Woo Gannon!

Oh, don't worry. I LOVE to DPS - throwing chain lightnings one after another now? Though as Carg mentioned to me, i AM verysad at losing my 'insta fire elemental' buff* from the set I wear, and it takes a bit more concentration to the screen entirely than just using hotkeys on peoples' names.. I enjoy both equally.

*the one where for every.. what was it.. fire spell cast, i dont remembr which one, it had reduced the CD of fire elemental totem? So that I was able to cast it almost every few minutes? LOVED THAT ONE.

Cool, thanks guys. Just wanted to ask preferences so I can know how you feel about da rolez.

It's always cool. I'm undergeared and less experienced compared to the core group, and I'm fine with being a backup (and available in case someone bails late). I should be around Thursday night in case you need a last-minute 10th.

I'll be around as well on Thursday with Enix if you guys need...otherwise we'll probably be dominating the achievements

I missed the week cause im dumb!

I'll PM you with the next thread.

Likely Thursday night after raid.

Woooooooooooooooooooo.

See you folks this evening.

Tonight, Venumb asked if he could hop in real quick to pickpocket Hagara for the rogue legendary quest. Sel and I said it would be fine. I'll zone out, he can grab the item and we'll take her down and move on.
