TIME TO EMBRACE ALL THINGS SALMON (Raid 2)
Gares of War — Tue, 12/02/2008 - 21:50
Good, friendly, casual players look upon this place.
I am here, or maybe even there, to discuss the glorious new raid starting up in a few weeks. That is right kids, Raid Salmon is coming. Are you ready to ride the Salmon?
We will begin with 25 man Naxxramas content. We are looking for a few good fish to run with and have fun in the sun.
We will be raiding Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. 6pm to 9pm. Some people you need to get to know and love, or at least suck up to:
Raid Leaders-
Gares- Warrior- Your tank. I love ice cream and science.
Ataraxia- Druid- Also your tank. Loves loot and healing on anything but his druid.
If you want to raid, there are a few things you must do/know:
1.) We are always right, unless we are wrong.
2.) We are looking for raid balance, if you are interested in raiding, pelase sign up on the sign up post. However, we are more easily able to assess your position if you use this thread by posting your class, professions, and role (healer, dps, tank)
2B.) Why do I ask about professions, helps tell other guildies what you can make or help contribute if need be.
3.) Enchant your shit, if you are doing a job in our raid, we expect full enchants. If we are to put effort into you, please but effort into yourself. Also, gems, lots of gems.
4.) Read this- elitistjerks.com/
elitistjerks.com/
elitistjerks.com/
elitistjerks.com/
elitistjerks.com/
It is quite easy, they have forums and such for all classes,
5.) Food, flasks, bandages, and scrolls. Get these things please.
6.) Bring a good attitude, I hate it when people bitch and cry or act like jerks. I will boot you from raid if you try that with me.
7.) Run some heroics. Get some good gear. The idea is to gear up in 10 man instances and heroics to blast through this weaksauce to higher end game.
I think a good way to gauge a person is to run a heroic or even a regular instance, please ask me for any tanking needs and I will try to help you if time permits for me :)
I will add some more things if need be, but I wanted to make a mega bump for this. Let's rock it hard in 4 weeks peeps!
Note- I also suggest we move the date to January 6 after new years so everyone is ready to fart in the Lich King's mouth.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
P.S. From: Ataraxia
I will be pulling some of you guys in channel between now and January to chat about raiding, schedules, specs, attitudes, and other things. I want to go into this new raid with a whole new approach from the way I did LF1M. I want to make sure those that are getting a spot know and enjoy their class and spec.
Also, I've been hearing blah, blah, blah, "I'm not raiding if I can't do this and that and with this person and I get all the phat lootz." Yeah.....you should go ahead and cancel your sign up if you're coming in with that attitude.
Hope to talk to you all very soon!
I want to make this clear once again....JUST BECAUSE YOU SIGN UP DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE A 100% CHANCE OF GETTING IN THIS RAID.

Atar, I'd love to get into
Kybosh — Thu, 12/04/2008 - 10:42Gares and Atar, I'd love to get into this in some form or another. If you feel you need a slice of Kybosh, I will come as Kybosh. If it's healers you're low on, I'd be happy to make the switch to Vaelus give you the sweet sweet heals you desire.

Alprazalam — Wed, 12/03/2008 - 19:32/stands at attention
Name - Alprazalam, SIR!
Spec- Fire, but willing to change to spec with higher DPS if need be, SIR!
Professions - Tailoring and Enchanting, SIR!
No, I am not a loot whore, SIR!
Yes, I hate Ataraxia, SIR!
No, if Ataraxia says mean things to me, I won't cry, but I will take it to heart, SIR!
Atar did bring to my attention and I have been thinking about it. I will constantly be looking things up to see if an arcane spec becomes higher DPS as the raid progresses, and I'd love to learn to play it.
I will also say that I won't have a stable internet until February. This needs to be known to the raid.

I be a combat rogue.
pulga — Wed, 12/03/2008 - 16:30I be a combat rogue. Skinning/LW. Let's pray that blizz realizes that drums are good again.
Pulga, the problem isn't that
Shihli — Wed, 12/03/2008 - 17:30Pulga, the problem isn't that Blizzard thought drums were bad. The problem was that drums were too good, and endgame guilds were forced (or forcing their raiders) to switch to mass-leatherworker raids in order to supply all the drums they need. In short, the professions weren't balanced. Now they are - what makes a profession unique isn't stuff like drums, but rather the unique personal buffs/enchants/gear that the crafter can use.
I would be against delaying
Adwarflol — Wed, 12/03/2008 - 14:58I would be against delaying it to january 6th. That's a bit to long imo.
Felsteel, your friendly DPS
Felsteel — Wed, 12/03/2008 - 12:42Felsteel, your friendly DPS combat swords rogue now improved with MD :D at your service. LW and Skining for my profs. All around nice guy.

Professions don't really
saedo — Wed, 12/03/2008 - 10:50Professions don't really bring anything to a raid cept added personal stats. No more buffs, like the drums!
We can still use the old
Felsteel — Wed, 12/03/2008 - 12:45We can still use the old drums though right, i mean a buff is a buff. Or am i wrong?
You are wrong. ;p Read the
saedo — Wed, 12/03/2008 - 12:59You are wrong. ;p
Read the tooltips for the drums: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29529
Copy and pasted:
Use: Increases haste rating on nearby party members by up to 80. Lasts 30 sec. Cannot affect targets level 80 or higher. (2 Min Cooldown)
So all and all, professions are for personal gains, and most of them are pretty even in gains. Other than that, it's outside of raid crafting stuff, which prob won't affect what you provide in raid. ;p
/fail :(
Felsteel — Wed, 12/03/2008 - 14:32/fail :(
Ardea: Resto - LW and
Ardea — Wed, 12/03/2008 - 11:26Ardea: Resto - LW and Skinning.... thinking about changing LW or skinning to Herbs...
Since we may be short on caster DPS...

I prefer Ardea, but I love playing both of them.

I post this with the
Karli — Wed, 12/03/2008 - 08:55I post this with the disclaimer that I / we may change our minds as the weeks unfold, but Kybosh and I would both like to put our names in for this raid. We are *technically* completely available but obviously are still in the early stages of learning how to take care of a newborn and that has to come first.
This raid schedule is extremely appealing to us primarily because of the strict time limit you guys have for ending things; kids tend to thrive on schedules and I know one of the things about Raid 1 that would not work well for us is the unpredictability of late nights; we can manage a 3 hour block of time, but if a 3 hour block spontaneously turns into a 3 1/2 or 4 hour we'll likely have a screaming kid to tend to. So that is basically our major roadblock; if this raid is going to continue to be pretty rigid with its end times then I don't really see why we shouldn't be able to attend as consistently as possible.
So yeah. Fire mage & Arms warrior, unless you want us to spec something else...
