I think there's two spawn locations. One of them is where the mark is. The other was about halfway between that mark and the stack place for ranged during magnet phase.

It's really rough when both healers get focused at the same time that the tanks are getting hit with Electromagnetic Charge. You're not a bad player for proactively popping damage reduction CD's (Rather, the opposite) but in this case, you really have to save them for the EC hits.

I really feel bad that I can't get in more healers on these heroic fights. I am going to try to do a better job of rotating healers in. This doesn't apply for siegecrafter. We're going with a consistent comp since the healing is so goddamn brutal on that fight. Fun, but brutal.

Once WoD pre-release patch hits, 10m heroic is no more. In order to kill heroic garrosh (Now Mythic Garrosh), it will have to be 20man. The plan is to scrape together what we can once this happens. We should have enough healers and tanks. We will probably just need some DPS to come back. Until then, we're going hard in the paint on Siege. We wiped for half of a night on Malk but he's considerably harder in 10m than 25m. We one-shot Spoils and Thok and got Siege to 23% on our first night of 10m attempts. Next week, we are extending the lockout and killing siegecrafter. Siegecrafter is another fight that's much harder in 10man than 25man. As a result, almost all guilds that have killed 10m Siege have killed 10m paragons. I'm not anticipating us taking a while to kill paragons after we kill siege. Heroic Garrosh is naturally gonna be a step up in difficulty but I think we got what it takes.

C'mon man, you're not even trying! I CAN SEE THE BLACK BOX FROM YOU COPY PASTING.

at least someone else noticed your copy pasta His was a copy-paste. Mine was not. Take a look at it again! Varlash's has a semi-colon after "Enjoy your break" whereas the ICEMAKER's has a comma. I hand-write my goodbye messages, damnit.

I giggled

Thanks for showing up consistently these last few months Varlash! Enjoy your break; We'll see you for WoD hopefully.

Sometimes I go off, fix an issue, then come back. Not really a bed time in those cases. If I have to go in, then yeah, it's pretty much a random bed time.

I will be on-call on 9/9 and 9/10. For all of you new people, I work on-call for IT at a huge hospital (Something like 1,000 beds). Anything that happens between 6:30PM and 6:30AM (Weekdays) that requires immediate IT intervention and I get called. I am not expecting to leave, but you never know what can happen. I may have to leave at any time if I get paged and can't delay. I may also have to step out at any time to remotely solve issues.

This is why we don't recruit people that have 24/7 on call phone weeks. Randomly at any time during raid they may get a call and go completely afk for an unknown amount of time. I don't really view them as the same but if you do, that's understandable. My point is that this issue wouldn't happen with someone who is 18+. Don't take this the wrong way Ward, or as me saying that YOU fucked up. This isn't a reflection on you or your actions. This is something completely stupid that's entirely beyond your control. That's what's frustrating. It sucks to lose a good raider because of a good reason. It sucks a hell of a lot more to lose a good raider because of a dumb reason. Regardless, ignore me. It's just a pain for the officers to deal with. Take it easy Ward.

All joking aside, this is why we typically don't accept trials under 18. I like you Ward. I feel like we've all watched you mature over the last year. But this shit is still absolutely infuriating because you're fucking over 30 other people. I'm not saying that you yourself are fucking us over, but the action of you suddenly not being able to make raids anymore is fucking us over.

What part? Why he's gonna be late or the hashtag at the end? Everything.

This is so sad

The problem is that we have too many good, high-attendance people to do the 10man right now without excluding people. When we did the 10-man for DS, it was a point where we consistently had right around 25 people online for the 25man or less. At some point, we went a few days without 25 people in raid and decided then and there to break the 25man until MoP. About 5-10 people just up and said that they wanted to break until MoP (Or forever) and we only had about 14 people who wanted to continue. We worked with all of those people until the group comp settled in. I think that if we announced break now, MAYBE 10 people would want to break until xpac, leaving us with at least 20 people still wanting to raid.

Hey there bash-tastic. When do you anticipate making the dedicated 10man group? Or were you just going to try to make it once we don't have enough for the 25? If we are going to seriously try to do this soon enough to pass around the heroic only mount, we need to form this ASAP. WoD comes out on 11/13/14, leaving us with 12 more raid resets, counting this week. The only way we'll get a dedicated group their mounts is if we start working on it THIS week and somehow have heroic garrosh down in 3 weeks, which seems a bit far-fetched. Edit: Also, where does this leave us for recruiting? We need to make this decision soon because it affects recruiting. We cannot continue to recruit people if we know that our 25-man will be taking a break soon. When we did this for DS, I think it was just me and Thundere raid leading the group, so I remember what we did, what worked and what didn't. We did indeed kill heroic Deathwing before the release of MoP. As a matter of fact, we killed him 9 times and got everybody but one person (Of our dedicated 10) their mount! We had a dedicated group of 10 people and an additional 2-3 people that we would bring in occasionally for easier bosses but we stuck wtih our 10 for progression. Those 10 people were all excellent raiders who were on every day for raid and there was no drama. We had 2 dedicated healers (Me and the beast that we call Jlogg) and one hybrid healer (Thundere) who was able to DPS or Heal competitively depending on what was needed. I'm not sure if we'll need the same setup for SoO or not. I cannot stress the importance of the 10 people we had in for progression all being 100% attendance. Unless you have 90%+ attendance, you're not going to get into the 10man group. Regarding WoD raiding: All lockouts are separate now. LFR, "Normal" (Old Flex), "Heroic" (Old normal) and "Mythic" (Old heroic) are all on separate lockouts. If we have 30 people who want to raid, we could conceivably full clear heroic with 30 people then bring the best 20 for mythic progression. We will be able to be flexible here.

There is no flex ToT. There's only LFR, Normal and Heroic. Flex was introduced for SoO. Your goal should probably be flex SoO.

Howdy peeps. Got an appointment on 8/27 at 7PM. Should be done around 7:30 and back online by 8.

Thanks for raiding with us Varkul. Hopefully your time off is beneficial for you buddy. We all look forward to you inevitably coming back in the future To everyone else: Remember that real life comes before a game and be nice.

I'm not sure what you mean. Our first Thok kill was really smooth. Our second one was rough, but missing two powerhouse shammies and their powerhouse AOE healing is gonna make it rough.

I think that you are vastly underestimating the abilities of our excellent officers. Just because I step up and volunteer to take care of organizing Thok CD's doesn't mean that the other officers aren't capable of handling it. It just means that I stepped up and volunteered to take care of it . With that being said, if you guys are starting on dark shammies, I should be back before you get to Thok.

I will be late - Got some stuff to take care of prior to raid. Expect me to be on between 9 and 9:30.

Glad to hear that you are getting better vulkan.

Enjoy your vacation!
