All of our raids are scheduled for 7 P.M. server barring some unusual circumstance. We do several types of raids. All of our raids are posted on the in-game calendar. We organize at 645.
We run progression raids on Wednesday and Sunday nights. We are currently running Icecrown Citadel. Progression runs may also include Trial of the Grand Crusader and Ulduar hard modes. When we put together these raids we put together the strongest group we can. Our progression group is built around 9 players at the moment:
• Menagese, Paladin, Prot/Ret
• Birall, Paladin, Prot/Ret; Zyman, Resto Shaman
• Eos, Paladin, Prot/Ret;
• Van, Warrior; Fabrizzo, Shaman, Resto/Elemental
• Jeina, Rogue
• Shingaling, Mage
• Caliypso, Druid, Resto/Feral
• Malpeg, Paladin, Holy/Ret
• Satinna, Warlock
The last spot is filled with dps/heals depending on what we need. We expect DPS to be 5k + on single target fights. We have to balance ranged and melee as well. Bear in mind that there will be nights when one or more of the above people will not be available. This doesn't mean we won't still attempt the run, but don't be discouraged if we call it early.
We run gear runs on Thursday nights depending on who's avaiable. this raid sometimes starts as late as 9PM. This usually means Trial of the Crusader. We need to average 3k dps. We need two tanks and 2-3 healers depending on who the tanks are and who the healers are. Between gear available from Triumph and Frost badges and from heroic ToC, and the three Icecrown instances there is no need to farm any other Raid instance for gear. In putting these groups together we try to balance people who need several items from here with people who need very little gear, if any, from here.
We run the weekly raid quest on Saturday night. We try to structure it to get more than one run in if enough people are on.
How do you become a part of the raids that we do? If you are a dps class you need to maximize your damage. Know your class. Gem and enchant your gear correctly. Many people in the guild can help you and there are multiple sites on the internet with great information. Run heroics until you have a full set of tier 9 and run a random everyday to get the Frost badges for tier 10. If you are a hybrid class, have a healing or a tanking spec. Make yourself available on raid nights.
If you have checked the guild in the armory you can see how many level 80’s there are. Everyone can’t go on a ten-man run. Organize a regular raid on a night that we don’t have something scheduled. Get any one of the officers to come on a main or an alt and we can award EP for the run.
Finally, if you have any suggestions, post them in the forums. That allows people to respond outside of our limited playtime.
