I'll be rolling a better demon hunter tank then mort. Just kidding. I'm planning to heal but i haven't decided between my druid or my monk. It may depend on what i am enjoying more but odds are it will be my druid.

Reminder I will be late tomorrow 4/11/2018 due to being on a field trip at work.

I will b e on vacation in Florida for Tuesday March 20th and Wednesday March 21st

We haven;t posted anything about Dragon Soul yet as far as progress. Truthfully the raid has started out pretty weak. The first four bosses weren't much of a challenge outside of getting position and combinations figured out. For all three raids, Prydain is on Deathwing already and there isn't much doubt he'll be dead at least by the end of next week. Dimen will be on Deathwing as well at least by next week. The 25 man should be on Deathwing by the end of next week also. It doesn't seem like Dragon Soul mechanics are nearly as bad as Firelands was with damage. The trash is almost nonexistant compared to Firelands. The fights don't seem to be nearly as long with phases with the exception of deathwing. The rps movie between each boss are ok but just kind of annoying. The end of Deathwing movie is pretty cheesy to say the least. On the plis side LFR has been a pleasant surprise. Despite the noobproof easiness of most encountrers, it has actually been a useful tool for practicing fights. The loot is good enough for upgrades and set bonuses to get rid of 378 gear from Firelands (in Fdragon's case 346 blue helms and ZA gear LOL). Overall, I'm not very impressed by the instance itself. The spine encounter is pretty cool but fighting deathwing's claws blah. I so wanted a full scale dragon encounter but I guess blizzard was trying to be different. The new five mans are decent with some unique encounters and I think most people like them except for the thrall escort. New Year on the horizon and I see the next expansion coming out at the very least by march. I doubt this content will last long.

Its a good time to update everyone on the progress of the 25man. Two heroics down this week bringing our total to four. Razor bit the dust last week and now Ryolith and domo have hit the floor also. Although giving out loot has been difficult for the officers, I'm sure that will get easier the more we down stuff. Baleroc's countdown and his raid aids is up next for the 25man. After that Balethlic's poisons additions will be the only thing standing between us and rag. I gotta say that all the new additions to the dps ranks have certainly made us better. Especially now that there are several women keeping the guys in check in our raid. Of course gump has the heroic staff with unholy half way to getting his. The more heroics we down the quicker this will happen so hopefully we will see another one soon. I can't wait to do more stuff to get all of our raiding groups together. I think its a perfect time to make sure that all new members meet and mix with the other members. Although I know there are some people everyone should avoid *cough* Rebel * cough*. However, the newest members of all 3 groups are all good players that I hope like running and interacting with everyone here. Please feel free to participate in the upcoming guild events to meet and have fun with members from other raids. ATR FTW!!!

Its quarter of my teaching year already which means quarterly progress must be turned in on all my stuff. So i'll be out all week and I'm heading out of town this weekend for my B-Day.. I should be back sunday or monday. So I will miss tuesday and wednesday this week. If you decide to do rag without me be my guest. If not I'll be back for him and anyone else on monday.

I texted alot of guys this morning about this. My grandma went to the hospital again. As fas as i know she's ok. Not sure if she staying or going home yet. If she stays i'll probably be at the hospital tonight. if she goes home i'll probably be over there. Either way I doubt i'll raid tonight unless things change.

My pally has been healing geared for about 2 months. I have all the holy gear you can possibly get outside of frelands. If we have other healers i would like to bring my mage back in and dps again but i have no problem healing

I have training this week wednesday for my new special olympics stuff that i'm taking over. I'm also do to have boardmaker training and NCI training. NCI is thursday so that doesn't affect raiding. Not sure when boardmaker will be or what deadlines I'll have to start working on in the upcoming weeks. I'll post stuff as it comes up.

So far each week the 25 man has been making significant progress. After shannox, it took the group a week to down each boss. Ryolith took a few days, Beth took a week, and now Baleroc took a week. We have made some great progress as a group. The 25 man has been signifcantly more difficult then 10 man is so everyone should be proud of their progress. Everyone should start looking up Majordomo and Alysrazor. Alysrazor is considered by most to be the most difficult fight in firelands. Honestly, it is all about the tornadoes. Domo is all about survival of the group being able to move from one position to another. I think our work has paid off especially with the healers. Healing has been now joke in this content on 25 man. Dps has gotten better at controlling the fights. The tanks are the tanks they do their job well. I'll be off for next weeks raid Monday August 1, Tuesday August 2, and Wednesday August 3 for vacation. Lets get Razor and Domo so that when i get back we can start on Rag.

Its about 3 weeks away but i'm posting my vacation days. Saturday July 30 to Saturday August 6th is when i'll be gone. SO i'll miss August 1 2 and 3 raid days. Jlogg and Taz can manage healing very well so you'll be in good hands without me. I'll be at Pomme de Terr Lake which is about 150 miles or so from Kansas City Missouri. I'll be at a Reservation called Nemo's Bridge but they do not have internet in the Boonies so no me.

For anyone that hasn't its time to start watching videos on heroic 25 man boss fights including halfus, maloriak, and chimaeron. Just an fyi for all 25 man raiders except to spend lots of time on these bosses in the weeks to come. Do not excpect us to normal mode bot unless the week is over. If we can down halfus which we should tonight then the rest is normal in bot for awhile. Maloriak will be the first bwd heroic which means he will be the last boss we do before nef. I cannot stress enough that people need to be ready and bring their A game. These bosses are completely doable for our group. Alot of the fight relies on the healers and tanks doing more work with more communication but the dps must step up there game and maximize dps. The positioning and group may change several times during the heroic challenges some strats change quite a bit. Go watch some videos and get rdy.

I gotta admit this was the most planned and full force event i've ever seen since i started playing wow even in vanilla. I never knew how many people would actually show up and put out the effort for this guild first. The guild members really stepped up for this and I'll thank everyone who helped. No matter what anyone says it was the core of ATR that went through the raid grinds and the daily grinds to push the 25 level not mass recruitment of people we didn't know. I;ll remember this push as a truly fitting "GREAT" moment for the ATR guild.

This sounds similar to the bugs on magmaw group 2 was getting especially the one where magmaw tunred around his head to the opposite side of the lava. It seems occasionally one boss in there bugs from something. Ours always seems to be magmaw.

Lol. I'm an ssd teacher. I don't do spelling or paragraphs. I do living skills. That's it. When you teach the population I do sometimes finishing the stupid thing is more important then how it looks.
