Aristocrats 10M in 3.3
Kwondre — Thu, 12/03/2009 - 12:29
This is a heads up for members and parties interested in the Aristocrats raid.
When 3.3 hits, I'm thinking we keep the Tuesdays, 4PM to 6 PM Server, and aim to accomplish the following during that time frame (in order of priority):
- The Weekly Raid Quest: For our yummy 10 badges
- As much of 10m Icecrown as possible (my belief is that 10m ICC will be easier than 10m TOGC)
- VOA - when new boss comes out
- If we have time left over, which we probably will early on in the patch, we can split into two five mans and farm the three ICC dungeons.
- NO ONYXIA..IM DONE
Thoughts? Comments?
So far, "regulars" are Myself (Warriah), Keisjaa (Priest), Nuit (Pally Tank), Derch (Resto Shaman), Ace (whatever alt he feels like blessing us with that week), Saedo (Mage/Pally Healer), Sargus (DK DPS/Tank) - when he doesn't feel like being a 12 year old.
Please post here if you're interested in this weekly run.

Aristocrat raiders
Nuitarin — Fri, 12/04/2009 - 10:02Other people who might be looking for a spot in a stable 10 man raid are Kaluu and Craeg. Im not sure if they are available at these raid times but they expressed interest in being in a 10 man HTOC.
This is still kinda of an alt
saedo — Fri, 12/04/2009 - 11:35This is still kinda of an alt run for people. Is there enough mains around to form another 10 man dedicated to getting the hard modes?
I've thought about this...and
Kwondre — Fri, 12/04/2009 - 11:46I've thought about this...and i think it would have been difficult for Aristocrats to really be a "hard mode" TOC team because we simply didn't have the time allocated to the group. Otherwise I would have tried to push it harder.
This is a lot due to spending half our time in TOC normal before thinking about hardmode tries.
But for ICC, with just one instance and a hard mode toggle (which will be weeks and weeks away cause you gotta kill Arthas first)...I think we could be a "hard mode" run even though we're mostly all alts.
Arthas even reachable in the
saedo — Fri, 12/04/2009 - 11:57Arthas even reachable in the 1.5-2 hours we have for it? Unlike ToC there's actual trash and many bosses. So I'm thinking more of an Ulduar length clear. And there's pretty much no way all of us would outgear the instance to cheese it all down fast.
That is unless we start extending the instance over several weeks forgoing any loot from the previous weeks.
it's definitely a fair
Kwondre — Fri, 12/04/2009 - 12:00it's definitely a fair point....and i don't want to play the extending game all that much...well, we'll see how it goes first couple of boss releases. And if there is demand for a longer raid or another raid session, we can do it. I don't want a run that doesn't kill arthas due to time constraints...that's lame.
I'm interested
Vitriola — Fri, 12/04/2009 - 08:00I would love to be there, if you have a spot.

I'm looking to get back into
pulga — Thu, 12/03/2009 - 14:33I'm looking to get back into a continuous 10 man raid, so you have my DK (DPS/tank) and my Shaman (resto/working on a viable dps set) if you'd be willing to take me in.
What if #2 isn't true
saedo — Thu, 12/03/2009 - 12:40What if #2 isn't true huh???? Huh huh, what then??? (ilvl 245 instance vs ilvl 251 instance!)
Just like ToC 10 was puggable
Kwondre — Thu, 12/03/2009 - 12:59Just like ToC 10 was puggable for us with most of our raid in ilvl 213 gear (or worse in some cases)...my money is on ICC normal 10 being puggable in mostly ilvl 232 gear.
If there were super good trinkets in 10M TOGC like Runestone quality, I'd say lets keep hitting it...but if its giving triumph emblems and inferior ilvl gear to ICC 10, i'd rather not bother.
Not saying we'd go back.
saedo — Thu, 12/03/2009 - 13:06Not saying we'd go back. More saying I hope ICC isn't all that puggable like ToC! Thinking more like Ulduar and how even the first bosses (after FL) used to rip pugs apart. ;p
I don't know, I feel like the
Kwondre — Thu, 12/03/2009 - 13:11I don't know, I feel like the design philosophy since Ulduar (first hard modes) has changed to the point where the "hard mode" is true progression, while normal is really as close to a cakewalk as you can get. I'm not expecting us to two shot encounters like we did in ToC 10 first time around, but I also don't expect us to come away empty handed when we go into ICC like we have been with TOGC.
I hope its challenging, for sure, but i like my lolnormalmodesnorefests as much as the next guy sometimes as well.
Next question, will we be
saedo — Thu, 12/03/2009 - 13:24I do know first boss should be easy. 2nd boss people state is a challenge, though dunno how re-tuned it is on live. 3rd boss should be easy enough once learned. 4th boss will probably rape everyone's face in.
Next question, will we be running on Wednesday? Or skip the first week?
Cause I totally expect patch day to screw the servers over until 7pm server time (10 est for you!).
If patch screws servers on
Kwondre — Thu, 12/03/2009 - 13:32If patch screws servers on day 1...which it actually didn't for 3.2! (smaller i know), then yea let's run on Wednesday.
I thought it did til like 5pm
saedo — Thu, 12/03/2009 - 13:36I thought it did til like 5pm or something
