Let us know if you’re in out out for this Wednesday. I hear rumblings that some old friends may be returning to the fold so it should be interesting.
Be sure to check out the previous post for ICC strats if you haven’t already done so.
Here are some strat guides for ICC. Please watch before next week.
I’m in. Here’s hoping you are. Just let us know in the comments section.
Comment and let us know if you’ll be on or gone this Wednesday. I’ll be there.
For the record, I know Fangthain has a better gear score than this. That said, this is the best one I could get the Armory to spit up via WoW-Heroes.com and it’s for his off-spec. It looks like Orykded may have been working on leveling a new weapon skill or something as his score has dipped as well. At least this keeps things interesting, though I’d recommend always logging out in your main spec wearing your best stuff if watching your score drop from week to week here bothers you. :)
Once again, welcome Baelroth who makes an impressive debut on this week’s chart.

Kudos all around for last night’s effort. Pretty darn good execution, some nice gear upgrades, and a new member for the guild. Welcome Baelroth! I’ll set you up with an account to comment once I get your info from Khamel.
Speaking of Khamel, Craig ran some some stats from our Ony 25 run last night. Check them out here. Is it wrong that I’m happy with Shim’s mediocre stats (and the fact that I didn’t die)? Probably, but I’m going to pretend that it’s encouraging.
…and I think we have them. Since we haven’t had a discussion post in a while I thought it would be good to see if we’re all on the same page. Here’s what I’ve picked up on.
Running 10-Man Content = Recruiting/Leveling
I think a lot of us are interested in running the 10-man content as a guild which pretty much means we need to either find or level a few more members. Krucifix will be a nice addition once we get him some XP so any help anyone can spare will doubtless be appreciated. Even grouping your lower level alts with him for some instances would be doable. Heck one of our 80s and 1-4 lowbies will blow through a lot of content. It’s a good opportunity for toons like Citizensnips, Edisius, or the lesser Fangs to tag along (or Jeff’s alts once Krucifix gains a few more levels).
Under the category of recruiting, Khamel has started to put out a couple of feelers to see if we can find a few like-minded gamers to join us in actually moving forward through more content on Wednesday nights. Feel free to add a comment to his posts or at least give them a bump to move them back up the page.
Getting our numbers up to 10-12 individual accounts would really help make all three of these goals happen. As long as it’s the right match for our playing/learning style, of course. I think we should continue to be discriminating when screening our potential adds.
Gearing
Well, because there’ll always be better gear I don’t think this will go away. This means we need to keep running the random dailies and raid weeklies much as we’ve been doing. I know I haven’t been too good about keeping up on the dailies (I haven’t really been doing them other than on Wednesdays) and my gear scores tell the tale. No excuses. I’ll work on it. Anyone else?
Practicing Roles
This may well just be for me, but I know a number of us have swapped around roles or have multiple geared toons now so it seemed like it might apply. Even if no one else is really in the same boat for this one, “practice your role” seems like a safe, no-brainer goal.
Since I’ve committed to running a druid tank I think I just need to man up and off-tank for our 10-man stuff rather than wussing out and contributing insignificant kitty DPS. I’d like to think I could do both, but I’m so heavily gemmed and enchanted pro-tank I don’t think it’ll happen. I need to spend more time practicing being a tank in a group so I can improve.
Personally, I’d much rather do this in a non-PUG environment (which having ten guys on Wednesday would do), but I think I need to bite the bullet and do it regardless. I’m gonna try and get Betteroff back up to speed again too for those nights when we’ve got too many tanks around or for when Kashee’s tanking heroics.
I’ve probably rambled enough for now. What are your thoughts? (About the goal stuff, not about me rambling.)
Also, remember to sound off for roll call (in the comments of the previous post) if you haven’t already done so.
Let us know if you’re in or out for tomorrow night. I’m in.
I thought I’d do a little housecleaning this morning and post a few leftover sights and sounds that have accumulated on my hard drive. I haven’t been capturing or posting too many since I’ve tried to start sucking less (more on that in a another post), so hopefully this will provide a nice change of pace.
The first few images are from our VoA run the night of 11/25/09 and my subsequent “Storming Stormwind” achievement run with Betteroff.
The next is from visiting the Night Elf Mohawk on 12/1/09.
Mr. T plays Alliance? I don’t think so.
As opposed to Cruiting we are Recruiting. To that end please welcome Jeff W. He has joined the ranks with Krucifix, a lvl 15 Druid. I encourage everyone to welcome him and provide him assistance as he advances to lvl 80. Might even be a good way to earn some of those Classic Achievements.
