This Weekends Raid

Howdy Stampeders!

We didnt get a chance to do Uld on Friday or Saturday due to the absence of some people for holiday events. So on Sunday we did our raid and we did very well. We ended up pugging a tank (Sebbix) who did well. A special thanks to bama who came and tanked as the other tank as well as thanks to AFK who came and healed on her druid. We one-shotted all of seige as well as thorim and only stumbled once on auriyana (crazy cat lady). We had issues with some people only being able to come and rotated a dps too many times with my favorite part being when we had three moonkins and 5 druids total. The rotating dps slots cost us a lot of time but we made some new friends that we can always look up and still managed to kill things efficiently even when we had a new group makeup each battle. Also a thanks to morty who helped me explain the fights and thanks to dead who came and offtanked ignis. Looking forward to this coming weeks raid and make sure you sign up so we know youre coming!

Wadataka Gone for the Week

Hey guys,

I have a major test this coming monday which I absolutely have to score top marks on. I most likely won't be on until after the test, tuesday at the latest.

I'd stress that the raids still progress as normal, the first half of ulduar is doable even if you have to pug another tank/healer.

Final Three Ulduar 10 Boss Fights

General Vezax - Vezax @ www.Tankspot.com

1. Aura of Despair. No Mana regen at all. Mana is regen'd by killing saronite vapors around room. This will cause a debuff that leeches health from you but returns mana. This stacks every 2 seconds. no more than 5-6 stacks. Shadow protection aura a must.
2. Shadow Crash - slow moving projectile thrown at a random member. Creates a pool where it lands, increases casting time and damage dealth by 100%, decreases mana cost and healing done by 70%
3. Mark of the Faceless - siphon life debuff that sucks life out of anyone around the target for 10 yards. Heals Vezax for substantially more than it leeches.
4. Searing Flames - debuff on target, decreases armor by 75%. 2 second cast. Must interrupt
5. Surge of Darkness - Every 60 seconds, inc. boss melee damage by 100%, decreases movement speed by half. DK tank use Icebound fortitude, Bears use Barkskin, Hand of sacrifice, pain suppression and any other damage mitigating moves
6. Melee also take a 20% increase in their swing timer.

Crafters in the Guild

So Ive noticed a lot of people dont know who to go to or who to look for when they need something crafted or created etc. I know that its easy to go to www.wow-heroes.com and you can actually look up who has what professions within our guild. As a guild our size, we should not have to go out and pay to get anything crafted with the exception of rare epic recipes that nobody within the guild has. As such, im posting a short list of who can craft what for each profession. I am only listing a few people for each profession based on how often I see them on or who seems to be on the most.

Note: I am only listing people at 450 in the Profession unless otherwise noted

Alchemy - Eldermoon (Dan), Jinda, Bandage (Wada), Buluva (Cube), Lisha

Blacksmithing - Lashtail, Haystealer, Exarkun, Graynight(Dead), Moridyn (Wada), Bloodor

Leatherworking - Gnarkilldave, Zerkofark, Uug (Wada)

Enchanting - Sinscribe(Dead, 460), Banality(Cube), Tephul (Wad, 439), Darthscarz (Exark, 436)

Tailoring - Sinscribe(Dead), Darthscarz(Exark), Lashstar (Lash)

Engineering - Gnarkilldave, Yukaya

Jewelcrafting - Gnarkillyou, Danaris, Uugo(Wada), Lisha, Demonevil(Dead)

Inscription - Deadlydorite(Cube, 449), Sammara(Dan, 445)

New Tentative Raid Schedule (overkill mode)

Schedule Starts this Monday.

Raid time is 5pm -8pm server time. This gives us 12 hours of raid time in ulduar. We can either do that, or two 6 hour raid days.

• Monday - Onyxia / Historical Raid
• Tuesday - Ulduar 10
• Wednesday - TotC (10) Regular
• Thursday - Ulduar 10
• Friday - TotC 10 reg
• Saturday - Ulduar 10
• Sunday - Ulduar 10

Primary Focus: Ulduar Clearing every week
2ndary: First 2 bosses of TotC on farm
Tertiary: Onyxia and any older style Raid ppl want

These are the days that I will be leading groups and where.
For the core group members: Attendence to the Ulduar days is heavily stressed. You're slot in the group is reserved based on commitment & attitude, not performance.

For any TTS member: To start, we'll have available spaces in the core group, if you'd like to come, be online @ raid time and be prepared. Requirement: Gear score of 2250 or higher on http://www.wow-heroes.com/ or a permission of a raid leader.
Present Core Group
Tanks: Gnark
Heals: Danaris, Wad
DPS: Jinda, Cubex

These days are flexible in regards to when we do what. These are just the things I feel we need to do to progress to a point where we can get into icecrown when it comes open.

If you want to be considered for the Core group, please post a comment here and I will personally let you know and send you an invite. There are people not in the list that are in my brain only because they haven't clearly said yes or no or I haven't seen them to ask. Please, if you're interested, let me know.

On a side note: All core people, please look up the fights for ulduar, ony, and the first 2 bosses in TotC 10 man. I'd rather avoid watching 10-minute tankspot video's. A hint, goto tankspot.com, find the appropriate videos, write down what special moves the boss has and when/where you're supposed to move. Some people need to remember that they might have 2 possible roles. DPS/heals, Heals/tanks, etc.

Yay for long posts while Firewalled at work and avoiding College homework :P
