Saturday 12/03 Mini raid train - HoX, VoD, ToD - celebrating my 20th

[Zogdor]

I'm about to hit my 20th completion for HoX, VoD and ToD this weekend and I thought it'd be fun to do a mini-raid train with a good solid group. I've got some experienced guildies coming along for the ride, although I'm not exactly sure how many yet.

However, we'll need two tanks, a kiter (and back-up) and maybe another healer, aswell as a few more DPS, so I thought I'd ask here if anyone would be interested in helping out on this momentous occasion...

Date: Saturday 12/03/2011
Time: 6 PM EST/11 PM GMT

1. Gilders - DPS
2. Reserved - DPS
3. ??? - Healer
4. Cmbtcorpsman (Healer)
5. ?? (Kiter/Recon master)
6. Fullmental (Back-up kiter/ Recon master)
7. ?? (Bard - charmer)
8. ?? (Sulu tank)
9. ?? (Horoth tank/Chew toy???)
10. Reserved (DPS) (Only VoD and HoX)
11. ?? (DPS)
12. ?? (DPS)

It looks like 2 of my guildies will be unavailable after all, so there are just 3 of us. No interest in this? I could push it back to 7 PM EST, if it made things easier.

Just the other day someone was saying that we should encourage people to do more raids other than Shroud, but it seems that interest in anything else is limited...

[Happosaai]

I'd be game for all 3 on Fullmental... I have kited ToD before (but only once), and have done the other 2 a few times before.

[Zogdor]

I'll put you down as a back-up kiter for now, although if you've done it before, that's good enough for me!

[Happosaai]

Sweeeeeet

[sephiroth1084]

Put me down tentatively as the main tank for the 3 raids (though I wouldn't mind piking Hound) on Ferrumrym. It will be his 20th ToD as well. And depending on timers, maybe his 20th Shroud that day, too.

He's an AC tank by the way with enough for Normal easily, Hard VoD pretty easily, and Elite on any of them with buffs (Bard).

[Zogdor]

Cool, so I've put you down as the Horoth tank and tentative Chew toy - sound ok? Although, if someone with more HP comes along, then they might prefer to tank Horoth. Either way, I have faith

I'd like to have a WF tank for Sulu, just to make things as smooth as possible.

Put me down for Cmbtcorpsman (20 FvS) for a healer spot for all 3.

[Zogdor]

Will do! I'm looking forward to the run, as I'm sure it'll be fun to run with the same group. We should probably do it an hour later at 7PM EST, because I'm learning Titan just before and don't want to leave anyone waiting. Is that ok?

If you're running with Calebro, tell him to get a move on. I would prefer 6 EST than 7 myself.

I can take a backseat, but I'll just say that the raids go much more smoothly when you have a good AC threat tank. A WF still needs a lot of healing. On elite VoD I've healed myself through the second wave of orthons while the healers were busy keeping everyone else up. Just sayin'.

[Zogdor]

Ok, 6PM it is! I have one more guildy coming along, who has several toons and can fill in as appropriate (although no tank).

[Zogdor]

Something's come up for one of my guildies and she won't be able to make it after all. So, there's another healer spot open.

[Zogdor]

One more spot is reserved for either a tank/kiter.

[sephiroth1084]

Actually, never mind. I didn't realize what time this was supposed to start, and my All Caster ToD is getting underway at 7.

[Zogdor]

So, we're back to looking for 2 tanks then. I'm surprised so few people are interested in something a little different, which will be good fun...

[sephiroth1084]

A lot of guilds and channels do raid trains.
Not many people have any desire at all to run Hound, and VoD isn't high on many peoples' lists.

[Zogdor]

I may be a few minutes late, so if the LFM isn't up on time, please send a tell to Zogdor.

[Zogdor]

Thanks to all those who came along and joined in, it was a lot of fun
