4.0 raid roster

[xnskzzxnvs]

With 4.0 expected next week, we should visit Elitst Jerks and MMO-Champion to see what changes are happening to our classes, and list what specs we are geared and willing to play (for ICC25H, including PP, Sindra, and LK, and maybe RS25H). If we have geared alts that can pull their weight in a main raid, we should list those too.

We ought to make sure that our buffs and debuffs are covered.

I think both Cuno and Jack said that they might be busy/unavailable to raid in the near future. Are we ok on healadins? What else can bring mangle or will that be merged be something else in 4.0?

I (Plare) have a raid ready mage (Backlobber) which I don't expect to ever be needed since we have plenty of raiding mages, and I also have a bear (Plarebear) that has tanked 11/12 ICC25H if that ever becomes useful to our raid comp. Plarebear also has a 264+ (except for a trinket) cat set, but I'm awful at cat and wouldn't wish it upon the raid.

[Firecrest]

I think we should be alright on Healadins. We have Jack, Me, Talith and Aani and really only ever need two of the four to be around. If some strong Ret/Holy apped, I might consider them, but at this point, I think we're okay.

Fey is full 264+ in both Cat and Bear and doesn't often go to any of the PUG 25s, so I can always get on her if we need it.

[CAN]

you only need like 5 people to cover every buff now

[lawlerbation the hardcore squatter]

or 3 hunters

[Zallyssa]

I'd like to point out that Silhouette is most likely going to be raiding 10 mans for a week or two (maybe more) after patch to get to know our character changes, so I wouldn't count on Aani being available for your raids during that time with the new raid lockout system.

Holy fuck, main raid is turning into a pug?

Wow...

This is depressing. Dots needed a vacation and Dots was replaced. Dots is mad.

Holy fuck, main raid is turning into a pug?

Wow...

shrug. when you only show 20 players from your own guild you have the following choices:
a. fill the spots with people you know from out of guild
b. don't log on until cata

it's clear that some people have chosen option a and some have chosen option b. i can't tell if you're serious or not but i don't see why you should be mad. if you (anyone, really) can't be available then we need someone in that spot
