Rabble Rabble Rabble

This is a brawler's guild achievement. We'll need about 20 people who can queue for any fight in the Brawler's Guild to proc this to open.

Also as Mentioned in The Downfall Upload, you'll be entered to win "Gold From The Guild Leader" 10k gold of my money

With plenty of people, this wont take very long at all

Here's how to perform the ultimate target switch and a true global.  The reason these steps are important is because healers can usually heal through your damage, but they can't heal through a global:

1.  Target caller calls out a countdown on voice chat starting with 3.  "Switching to RandomDouche in 3...2...1...Attack", where 'Attack' is '0 time.'  Or use any word instead of 'Attack' to symbolize attack the target.  But, that doesn't mean you start switching to the target on the word 'Attack'

2.  DPS activiate damage increasing abilites and trinkets on the 3rd or 2nd second on the countodwn (unless they are tied to a specific damaging ability that you want to use on the target when you hit it).  

3.  DPS that use ranged cast times begin casting before time 0 on the countodwn timed to land at 0 time.  For example, if a DPS ability has a 2 second cast time, start casting 2 seconds before 0 time.

4.  Melee that need to run to the target begin running at the 3rd or 2nd second, unless they are already right next to the target.  Sprint if available should be used if necessary.  Time it so you are at the target at 0 time.

5.  Use ranged CC's on enemy healers up to 1.5 seconds before 0 time; just make sure you're not on cooldown at 0 time.

6.  Melee that can ability move to the target (like warrior intercept) activate the move at roughly 1.3 (global cooldown) seconds before 0 time, or whatever their individual global cooldown time is.

7.  All DPS instacasts on 0 time.  Casters follow up casted spell with instacast at 0 time.  Melee uses hardest hitting ability that doesn't require combo points.  It dies.

This creates a cascading effect where different abilities are begun and activiated at different times but all damage hits the target at 0 time.  The only exception to this is warriors for example, moving to the

Notice this is not waiting 3, 2, 1, and then start casting on the target.  You are already casting around 2.  This doesn't mean start finding the target at 0, or moving towards the target at 0.  At 0, everyone is instacasting, and there should be some spells and abilities already en route to the target.

This achieves a true global.  

Why do all of this?  Healers are quick but can only be so quick, and usually look at damage as an indicator of who needs to be attacked.  If the person is killed during a global, nothing can be done.  Now, healers that see everyone switching will probably put a damage reduction effect that can really hamper DPS and save the life of the target.  These are usually instant casts and that's why it's so important to kill the target before the healers can respond and start building shields and HOTs.  

We will practice this.

Elapsed Flexes returns without Elapsed. Painhax LFRs!

Molten Core! Ilvl req 615 (this is not debatable it's a requirement of the queue system)

HAVE PATIENCE! The fights were not properly tuned for level 100 and can be difficult. Pay attention to the leaders and keep it as clean as you can!

I'm going to be hosting a raid on Nok-Karosh tomorrow (November 18th). Basically, he's a big badass wolf that drops a unique mount. The drop chance is 100%. A single mount drops per kill. The respawn rate is about ten minutes. And the mount is bind on use so there is some potential gold to be made for people who aren't super into mount collecting.
This wolf is super hardcore, though, so I need to bring an army.
I want this to function more or less like a standard raid night. We gather up at 6PM west coast time. We form a raid group of about 18-20 people. We farm the wolf until everyone has a mount.
This means roughly a three hour raid, as per our standard. For the sake of simplicity, I will be distributing the mount straight down the raid roster after each kill. This means that each player will be given ONE mount and we won't be rolling on them so there is no room for someone learning one and then trying to win another. One per customer. I say this so everyone knows precisely what they're getting into you.
*Show up, expect to fight for the whole duration of the raid. We can hang out and have fun in Mumble but we are here to win and get mounts for everybody. That means not bailing after you get yours.
*If I can't fill the raid with Downfall members, I will be using the new Group Finder tool to fill the remaining slots. Even if nobody else signs up whatsoever I WILL be running this tomorrow. If you want to come with me, sign up and get a spot.
*I would very much like to get a Warlock out there slightly early so we can get folks summoned and ready to pull as soon as possible.
That's it. I hope to see you tomorrow.

I am running multiple Challenge Modes on other toons before they ultimately remove them for good. Unfortunately, I need a healer and lately, the two that were suppose to do them with us have rather random schedules. 

What is Mythic raiding? Well it's just heroic raids with a new name, and a new raid size! 20 MAN! for a brief explanation here's an image to show you how raiding is structured in Warlords of Draenor (WoD)

<Downfall> has always led amazing end-game content raids, and WoD is shaping up to exceed many past expansions in activity in raiding! So where will you fit in? Well that depends on your RL schedule, and how well you try-out for the raid you want to join!

The 6-9pm PST raids!

All raid names are only possibly place holders and subject to change

The Mythimplication!

Raid Time:  9-12pm EASTERN

Raid Days:  Monday, Tuesday, Thursday 

Loot:  Loot Council

Galaga

Raid Time:  9-12pm EASTERN (unless we are so damn close to a kill . . then 15 minutes more)

Raid Days:  Tuesday, Sunday

Loot:  Loot Council

The 9-12pm PST Raid

The Fellowship of the RNG (Raid F-RNG)

Raid time: 9pm - 12am Pacific Standard Time

Days: Tuesday, Wednesday, Monday

Loot System: EP/GP (Point values TBD)

Those three Mythic raids all have different schedules. One should be more open to your available times and all of them will need fill-ins/replacements for random nights when regulars can't make it.

For those not looking to go very hardcore, or the hardcore raiders looking to fill that last slot of gear you're missing. There is Normal raids (currently on live difficulty called Flex.) When this difficulty came to the scene in 5.4, I started up a raid that made it so people wouldn't have to feel the need to either pug this, or run LFR. It was called "Elapsed Flexes". We ran on Saturdays at 6pm - 9pm Pacific. ilvl requirements were quite flexible, and we often found ourselves carrying and gearing up someone who just hit 90. 

So the final raid to mention is.....

Elapsed Attempts to be Normal

Raid time: 6pm - 9pm Pacific Standard Time (9-12 EST)

Day: Saturday

Loot System: Individual Rolls (the current flex/lfr loot style)

This raid will be up to 30 people in size. No signups, no requirement to be there EVERY WEEK. Just whoever shows up, gets invited on a first come first served (with exception of any support roles we need.) The new twist for this raid in WoD will be that after we're full clearing in one night, we will start working on 1 achievement for the meta achievement per week. We wont dedicate a ton of time to doing these acheivements, more of a "let's see if we can't kill the boss this way."



Raiding in WoD may be mostly about Orcs again, but that doesn't mean it can't be a great time! Check out the Mythics, and spread the word, we are looking for raiders to join!

Heroic ToT all the way! Including Ra-Den

Req Ilvl 520

Glory of the Thundering Raider

This is our goal, Were going to be running on Heroic and getting what achievements we can. Some achievements again require multiple runs for folks.

1) Mains only

2) 530 ilvl min required (again some carries will be accepted depending on how many heroicly geared mains we can get to carry)

3) This is for the Meta Achievement, It will require more focus than last weeks SoO Flex.

4) If we come back to finish Sunday, I expect everyone who can, to be there to help, even if you got your meta

5) We only have 2 options, 25 or 10 man. If we don't get a full 25, we'll have to drop to 10 people. So let's get some excitement around this one!
