Hamfist
Just a heads up.
Vulk — Mon, 05/05/2008 - 11:13
Thought I would give everyone an advanced warning. At the end of this month (May) and the beginning of next I will be moving. I am unsure when my internet here will be cut of as well as how long it will take to get it set up where I'm going. At most I won't be able to raid from Wednesday 5/28 to Wednesday 6/4. Hopefully I will get my internet set up over there rather quickly and only miss a couple days rather than a whole week but I don't know the particulars yet. As I learn more I will update this blog as well as leave a comment on the particular raids I will miss once they are posted.
Downfall Visits Sunwell

"What the shit is a portal?"Downfall's Raid: Hamfist has met their goal of clearing both BT and Hyjal before our final night of weekly raiding. This leaves Monday, April 28 wide open for our first official night in Sunwell Plateau.
We ask that ALL raiders be intimately familiar with all trash and Kalecgos strategies. Saedo has written up a straightforward guide to trash here: /node/1973 Also, please have this strat committed to memory before Monday: http://www.bosskillers.com/cgi-bin/bbguild/index.cgi?action=view_guide&g...
We WILL be taking boss shots Monday night, so be prepared.
A quick run through a number of bosses specifically with the intention of gearing up raiders.
DOWNFALL AVOIDS MAKING AN OBVIOUS JOKE REGARDING PREPARATION

Third shot of the evening, rock solid, picture perfect kill. Congratulations to everyone that worked so hard to make this happen.

Thank you to all those that sat out while we worked out optimal group set ups and strats :) Here's to many more kills and some exploration into Sunwell soon! (Archimonde is still harder)
Edit: Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGONEY-IQUITE AND DELIRIUM!
Hamfist, healers, raiding, etc
Shihli — Tue, 04/08/2008 - 11:37
So right now we've only got 5 "reliable" (read: there everynight, on time, ready to rock, with stable connections) healers in Hamfist. That's right, only five.
Garreth
Vulk
Katibug
Closer
Caliroll
In many circumstances and on a number of boss fights, we need no fewer than eight (8) to make it a smooth kill. Of our "less reliable" healers, we have:
Alydis
Clos
Cisper (only recently due to university)
So basically, if the stars align and we butcher a holy goat we can expect to have a smooth raid. Otherwise, we will be dragging our feet and praying to whatever gods might be listening that we can actually kill something on a given night.
Off-spec, limited-attendance, and alt healer options are also limited:
Luchs (T4 geared w/ some experience)
Turth (T4+ geared w/ some good experience)
Irnub (T4 geared w/ little healing experience)
Antiquite ON CORETWO or CISPER
Magieck
Warion (when LF1M isn't raiding)
Captnopants (when LF1M isn't raiding)
Basically, what I'm posting this for is this:
I'm begging that any guildie that is a qualified healer, that has run with us in the past, consider the option of helping out as often as they can. We want to kill Illidan. At our current pace and rate, we won't. It's that simple. At our current pace we cannot kill him. We're losing so many healers and bleeding so much loot because of it, that it's going to become a festering boil of raid non-progression that will be hard to shed, without a little help from our guildies.
