Raid Team 6: Eternity Vault 2/27

[pandalishus]

We'll be pulling the first boss at 9p sharp (Eastern). Please be on at 8:50 so we can get invites out and zone in. We'll be one-shotting each of the first 4 bosses, and then hopefully the same for Soa. If so, then on to Karagga's.

NOTE: We are starting pulls as close to 9p as possible. That means if you're late, and I have someone who's online and ready to go, I'll take them. We're just starting too late to get any good attempts on Soa. If you miss it this week, we'll reorganize the roster for next week. In other words, the roster below is just who said they'd be ready at 9p, not who will actually go.

If you are typically off-tanking, look into the possibility of bringing a piece or two (or more) of DPS armor. You might consider a hybrid DPS/tanking spec as well. Nikana will continue to MT (unless something comes up), and as we've learned, almost all bosses are single-tank fights. If you can't bring DPs gear, please don't consider that a barrier. Just thinking out loud.

Tanks
Nikana (RMC)
Pazzolupo

Heals
Panda
Katie (RMC)

DPS
Prospero
Preondra
Korrak
Musei (RMC)

*We may need an 8th DPS, so please sign up and be online just in case if you want to go. We should know for sure by Sunday PM, and I'll update this thread

[Qhoren]

There's a chance I'll be around for this, and I'm strongly considering respeccing to DPS given the abundance of tanks around.

That being said, definitely last place on the wait list and willing to sit it out if someone wants the spot more.

[shabazkilla]

*cough* You forget about me?

[Pazzolupo]

I'm in.

[pandalishus]

Hmmm. No, I didn't Korrak. So who did I add that I didn't write down?

Q, definitely be on. At this point, we have 8, but we also don't know who will forget/not show. At this point, I'm more inclined to take those who are online than that signed up. If you want to stay specced as a tank until raid start and we can see if we need DPS instead, that'd be fine. Should be easy enough to figure out before we go, and you could spend the first boss or two getting used to the DPS rotation (don't really need it until Soa anyway)

[Snocone]

Should be 50 by Monday, would love to go as dps.

[Qhoren]

I'm all respecced, decided it'd be better anyway since I'm not doing anything to keep up with tank gear. Should be around, but as always willing to sit out in favor of someone who really wants to go bad... like peeing themselves bad.

[pandalishus]

It's starting to look like we're getting enough for a DoG-only team. Won't happen this week, but I'll let the RMC guys know things might change after this next raid. Since I've been in situations before were we had more than could go, I'm inclined to go with whoever is online as the first "filter," then whoever signed up and/or goes regularly as the second. We probably also need to consider the possibility of a second raid group at some point. That, or we can rotate DPS through.

[Pazzolupo]

As more members of DoG hit level 50 and they want to raid, I am perfectly willing to give up my slot as Tanky DPS.

[pandalishus]

Yeah. Ideally, we'd get 4 (or more) healers and have two teams and then we could race, or raid on different nights, etc. I'd be (semi) tempted to get my trooper for 50 so I could heal a second raid group this summer.

[Pazzolupo]

Yea, I'm leveling my Scoundrel as a healer, so when he eventually hits 50 I can swap roles as needed.

[pandalishus]

Groovy.

[sazza676]

once my trooper gets to 50 id be more then willing to fill in a tank roll if pazz would rather dps

[Pazzolupo]

Well it is with great sadness that I must report I can't make it tonight. My computer is blue screening like it's cool. I'm unsure how long it will be before I can isolate and fix the problem. Finances are beyond tight.

[shabazkilla]

Pazz - is it just when gaming? If so check your video card fan. Otherwise start with memory. Run Memtest. You can download an ISO and burn it to CD and boot off it.
