10:26.20g0urrathe portal to orgrimmar/stormwind is sitll there.
10:26.39hyljethen they re-added those later
10:26.52hyljesince those were explicitly also taken off as cata was released
10:27.02g0urrayeah, in 4.1
10:27.05hyljeyou had to ask a mage to portal you, or walk all the way
10:28.40g0urraI knew that many city portals were removed with cataclysm, but not many know that orgrimmar and stormwind portals were re-added.

21:06.14Mr_Rabiesnote: this is an alt
21:06.24Mr_Rabiesso i'm not gonna pay 400g a pop for red gems
21:07.03Djones_Sure
21:07.06Mr_Rabiesi do about 8-11k and yeah it ranges that much :(
21:07.12Djones_That's....really low.
21:07.38Djones_whats your general rotation?
21:07.52Mr_Rabiesi'm keeping my dots up and using mind blast when i have at least one orb
21:08.06Djones_ahh, hmmm
21:08.07Mr_Rabiesusing mind flay as filler mostly
21:08.12Djones_here's what you do.
21:08.13Mr_Rabiesand shadowfiend every cd more or less
21:08.30Djones_Shadow word pain -> Devouring Plague -> Vampiric touch
21:08.38Djones_Mind blast -> Mind flay.
21:08.52Djones_Then ALWAYS mind blast when it's off CD, and always shadowfiend on the pull and whenever it's off CD
21:09.45Mr_Rabiesthat's essentially what i do, except i do VT first usually while the tank is running in
21:09.55Djones_Reasonable enough
21:10.03Mr_Rabiesbut i dunno :(
21:10.05Djones_You're missing a lot of enchants
21:10.08Mr_Rabiesyeah
21:10.14Mr_Rabiesit's hard to justify paying for them
21:10.15Mr_Rabies:/
21:10.21Djones_Mhmm
21:11.03Djones_you've probably reforged wrong
21:11.06Mr_Rabiesi guess that's what i'm missing though, gems and enchants
21:11.26Djones_yup
21:11.29Djones_reforging is wrong
21:11.39g0urraDjones_: I usually do MSx2 -> VT -> DP -> SW:P -> MB -> MF
21:11.41Djones_Unreforge -all- your gear.
21:11.46Djones_g0urra, then you're weird.
21:12.05g0urraikr
21:12.11Djones_That's really not very optimal.
21:12.21Djones_Mr_Rabies, unforge all yoru gear, then, reforge every piece into haste.
21:12.29Djones_anything that doesn't have haste on? Put haste on it.
21:12.37Djones_Then, your priority is spirit to hit cap
21:13.49Djones_g0urra, what's the logic behind MSx2? The instant MB?
21:13.53g0urrayes
21:13.58g0urrand
21:13.59g0urrasec
21:14.17g0urrathe high damage, I guess
21:14.42Djones_Unless you have 4 set T13, the opener is optimal with getting dots in immediately.

21:22.57Djones_After that, you can forget haste.
21:24.46fewynhttp://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/velen/Souffl%C3%A9/advanced anyone have any idea of how much dps i should be expecting to do? someone was complaining about my dps
21:24.54fewyni think i'm playing arms correctly at least
21:25.03fewynmy trinkets are tanky i know
21:25.17fewynwait why the fuck don't i have gems in my gear?
21:25.19Djones_fewyn, 2 minutes and I@ll tell you
21:25.33g0urraDjones_: how about mine http://www.askmrrobot.com/wow/gear/eu/moonglade/baldibur
21:26.56Djones_g0urra, reforging looks right.
21:28.06Djones_fewyn, optimally? 20k
21:28.17Djones_Realistically 18-19k on a standard patchwerky fight
21:28.33fewynreally?
21:28.38fewyni must be doing something wrong then
21:28.43fewynlike horribly wrong
21:28.50Djones_That's -fully- buffed
21:28.56g0urrahttp://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/moonglade/groumnir/advanced
21:28.59Djones_Potions, flasks, bloodlust, the lot.
21:29.13fewynok without gems and shit i was only doing about 10k on a target dummy, i did get a few upgrades yesterday in lfr
21:29.16Djones_Sure
21:29.18fewyni was pulling 11k
21:29.24fewynin lfr yesterday
21:29.24Djones_Dummy really tells you nothing though
21:29.29fewynbut a lot of that gear wasn't there yet
21:29.44fewynit helps tell me if i am doing my rotation right
21:30.07Djones_True, true.
21:30.10g0urrauh pvp gear
21:30.14g0urralooks about right for your dps
21:30.16Djones_I would say if you're doing 10k on the dummy
21:30.23Djones_then you should do 15-18k in an actual fight
21:30.33Djones_because warriors scale well with buffs.
21:30.36fewynyeah a few of the blue pieces are pvp stuff
21:30.37Djones_g0urra, and no...
21:30.48Djones_because warriors did 10k in 346 pvp gear
21:30.57Djones_(most people do 10k in 346 pvp gear)
21:31.10g0urrahum. how much would I do in my gear?
21:31.19Djones_fewyn, WAY too much expertise.
21:31.22Djones_Like, WAY too much.
21:31.27g0urra38 o.O
21:31.31fewyni haven't reforged yet Djones_
21:31.35fewynhttp://www.askmrrobot.com/wow/gear/usa/velen/souffl%C3%A9
21:31.55g0urraalso why is the neck's expertise reforged to dodge
21:32.09g0urraoh wait that's your offspec
21:32.26g0urrabut cloak with tank stats..
21:32.46g0urraand your trinkets are way off
21:33.13fewynyeah my trinkets i don't have anything else to put there
21:33.16fewynthis char was formerly a tanky
21:33.23fewynbut i don't feel like tanking anymore
21:34.15Djones_g0urra, in that gear, with full buffs on a patchwerk style fight? 25k
21:34.25Djones_well, 25-29k
21:34.31Djones_29k being doing everything perfectly.
21:34.47Mr_Rabiesi really hope secondary stats are more balanced in mists
21:34.58g0urrahow would you grade this then? http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/moonglade/groumnir/advanced
21:35.02Mr_Rabiesi think the feral dps druid is the perfect model for secondary stats
21:35.28Mr_Rabiesprimary stats are super important, and secondary stats are basically the same but modified by playstyle/fight
21:35.43Djones_Mr_Rabies, if only feral druids were worth more than two shits and a fart for dps :p
21:35.54Mr_Rabiespfft
21:36.04Mr_Rabiesyou just gotta get em a good weapon
21:36.07Djones_No.
21:36.13Djones_They remain horrifically below everyone else.
21:36.26Djones_and balance is ALMOST as bad.
21:36.28Mr_Rabiesi'm topping our charts pretty regularly
21:36.35Djones_That just means you have bad dps everywhere else.
21:36.45Djones_In i397's, a feral druid sims out at about 35k
21:36.49Mr_Rabiesthe thing is that feral gets penalized by a lot fo things
21:36.50Djones_a balance druid at 36k
21:36.55Mr_Rabiesof
21:36.59Djones_Spriest in i390 sims out at 38k
21:37.05Djones_in 397 at 423
21:37.06Djones_42k
21:37.19Mr_Rabiestarget swapping, movement, attacking from the front all hurt feral dps
21:38.00Djones_Yes.
21:38.07Djones_Thus my statement above
21:38.15Djones_If only feral druids were worth more than two shits and a fart for dps.
21:38.32g0urrawell, their faerie fire is good for melee..
21:38.54Mr_Rabiesi'd appreciate if we were better, for sure, but a courageous heart can defy any odds
21:39.13Djones_A courageous heart can't defy theorycrafting, math and empirical evidence.
21:39.52Mr_Rabiespfft
21:39.57Djones_Okay let's consider ultraxion
21:40.06Djones_closest stand and nuke fight we've got
21:40.12Djones_25man normal mode.
21:40.20Djones_Highest dps? 56k
21:40.33Djones_Highest feral dps? 45k
21:41.09Mr_Rabiesultraxion is the most stacked against feral fight
21:41.12*** join/#wowhead Funkeh` (~funk@5ada2b99.bb.sky.com)
21:41.13*** join/#wowhead Funkeh` (~funk@WoWUIDev/WoWAce/Ace3/BigWigs/funkeh)
21:41.29Djones_Okay then
21:41.33Djones_Warlord zon'ozz
21:41.37Djones_Single target
21:41.39Djones_no target swapping
21:41.41fewynslightly better, now that i'm properly gemmed and enchanted got 12k now to reforge
21:41.42Djones_no movement
21:41.48Mr_Rabieswhere are you getting these numbers anyway? :o
21:41.49Djones_Top dps 81k
21:41.55Djones_Correction, 86k
21:41.59Djones_Worldoflogs.com
21:42.12Mr_Rabiesi mean i agree
21:42.15Mr_Rabiesi'd love for us to be better
21:42.16Djones_Top dps is 86k, top feral dps is 66k
21:42.19Mr_Rabiesbut what am i gonna do for it
21:42.22Mr_Rabiesabout it
21:42.23Mr_Rabiesrather
21:42.32Djones_Ferals are horrifically bad
21:42.35Mr_Rabiespeople seem to think we're overpowered
21:42.36Djones_Worst dps in the game right now.
21:42.45g0urra<Djones_> no target swapping
21:42.47g0urraololool
21:42.49g0urranormal?
21:42.54Djones_g0urra, zon'ozz.
21:42.57Djones_normal
21:42.58Djones_yes.
21:43.05Djones_I wouldn't even -bring- a feral druid to heroic zon'ozz.
21:43.55Mr_Rabiesi'm glad i group up with friends and not min/maxers then :p
21:43.56g0urrahow would you say that ret DPS is?
21:44.03Djones_g0urra, strong right now
21:44.07g0urrasame Mr_Rabies
21:44.27Djones_Not hella strong
21:44.28Djones_but strong
21:44.40g0urraI usually try to compete with the DK (unholy atm, but usually dw frost)
21:45.02Mr_Rabiesi'd quit a guild that tried to get someone to swap specs for min/maxing's sake
21:45.12Mr_Rabiesin a heartbeat
21:45.22fewynsame with me, i'm never going to switch to combat
21:45.22Djones_Mr_Rabies, which is why you don't raid heroic content.
21:45.28Mr_Rabiesi do!
21:45.39Djones_Okay let me rephrase.
21:45.44g0urraour DK went UH because of all the magic damage mitigation
21:45.47Mr_Rabiesour healers seriously need better throughput though :(
21:45.48Djones_Which is why you don't do cutting edge progression.
21:45.51Mr_Rabieswell yeah
21:45.53Mr_Rabiesof course
21:45.56Mr_Rabiesi'm no poopsocker
21:46.03g0urrawe're at 5/8 atm
21:46.03Djones_How much dps do you pull on an average night?
21:46.11Mr_Rabiesheavily depends on the fight
21:46.15g0urrawe just can't do blackhorn with 3 melee..
21:46.16Djones_Choose a fight
21:46.20Djones_g0urra, ouch
21:46.42g0urraI'm volunteering to sit out when we do him
21:46.46Djones_g0urra, nod.
21:46.54g0urraso that our DK get to go instead
21:47.32Djones_3 melee on blackhorn heroic sounds horrific
21:47.37Mr_Rabiesi tend to hit about 80-90% or so of ranking on most fights on WoL, depending on how much i get put on bitch duty
21:47.48g0urraour team is usually.. dk tank, mage, shadow/disc priest, resto shaman, balance/feral druid, rogue, prot/holy pala and me (ret pala)
21:48.04Mr_Rabiesor have to brez our generally death-prone healers
21:48.10g0urraoh wait, the UH/frost DK too
21:49.09g0urraI think though on blackhorn we're sitting out the rogue and bringing our resto druid instead
21:49.21Mr_Rabiesi'd never do that
21:49.40Mr_Rabiesswapping players is a relic of old raid mindset
21:49.46g0urra...
21:49.56g0urraare you serious
21:49.57Djones_Mr_Rabies, no. It really isn't.
21:50.01Mr_Rabiesif i had to sit out for progression's sake, i'd be finding a new guild pretty quickly
21:50.03robotiggerbring the player, as long as he's the right class
21:50.16g0urra^
21:50.21Djones_You simply cannot do heroic Blackhorn if you have 4 melee
21:50.24Djones_It would be impossible.
21:50.40Djones_And have fun trying to do heroic madness without a spriest unless you outgear it.
21:50.42Mr_Rabiesyou should probably not have formed the raid with 4 melee in the first place then
21:51.02Djones_Mr_Rabies, but I can't swap players because it's a relic of an old raid mindset.
21:51.15Mr_Rabiesnot on a fight-per-fight basis
21:51.19Djones_Errr yes.
21:51.49Djones_In heroic mode, no matter your progression, every little counts.
21:51.50g0urraI'm planning on doing blackhorn with 2 tanks, 3 healers and 5 ferals
21:51.54g0urrajust for shit n giggles
21:52.00Djones_Yeah, that will go well.
21:52.04Djones_And -generally- you can get away with most things
21:52.21Djones_But if you actually want to kill heroic fights instead of wiping all night and doing it on normal instead.
21:52.52Mr_Rabieswe got 6/7 heroic doing 8 hours a week during FL, that's good enough for me
21:53.06Mr_Rabiesgoing in and farming it in an hour and a half is no fun
21:53.45Djones_Firelands was a hell of a lot easier and less tetchy than dragonsoul heroic is.
21:54.09Mr_Rabieswe didn't even bother with ragnaros because that fight isn't fun at all even on normal, it's just a giant timewaster
21:54.38Djones_Consider this. 10man heroic Spine prenerfs : Impossible without burst dps classes
21:54.38Mr_Rabiesit's hard until you clear it, then it's ridiculously easy and time consuming every week after that on normal
21:54.46Djones_Heroic blackhorn pre nerf : Impossible with 3 melee
21:55.05Djones_heroic Ultraxion pre nerf : Impossible if you have 2 druid dps in the raid at appropriate gear
21:55.30Mr_Rabiesthat's fine with me
21:55.33Djones_Heroic Yoh'sahj : Paladin healers? Piece of piss. Others? Dear fucking lord that hurts.
21:55.37Mr_Rabiesi'd rather have fun
21:55.48Mr_Rabiesall this gear's gonna be useless in a few months anyway, who gives a damn
21:55.52Djones_Wiping for 3 hours a night because you have someone who makes the fight impossible is not fun.
21:56.13Mr_Rabiesright now our biggest bottleneck is our healers
21:56.18Djones_Killing it on normal for the 90th time because you won't swap people out to make a heroic viable raid group is not fun.
21:56.27Djones_No, it isn't.
21:56.37Djones_raiders do not exist in isolation. Everything is connected to everyone.
21:56.41Mr_Rabieswe're just getting murdered on yor'sahj as soon as we get a black phase
21:56.47Djones_That's a dps issue.
21:56.48Djones_Not healing.
21:56.51Djones_(for one)
21:56.56Mr_Rabieserr
21:56.59Mr_Rabiespurple rather
21:57.02Djones_Yup
21:57.04Djones_That's a dps issue
21:57.05Mr_Rabiesif there's a purple, we just die
21:57.07Mr_Rabiesevery time
21:57.09Mr_Rabieshow?
21:57.14Djones_You die on Purple+black+yellow+red
21:57.15Djones_everytime
21:57.22Djones_Because your dps isn't killing the adds quick enough
21:57.25Mr_Rabiesno, if there's a purple at all
21:57.31Mr_Rabieswe wipe
21:57.32Djones_Then your healers are being stupid
21:57.38Djones_Which is nothing to do with throughput
21:57.42Djones_As you ascertained earlier.
21:57.50Mr_Rabiesthey're still somewhat undergeared
21:57.58Djones_somewhat irrelevant.
21:58.18Djones_If you're dying to a purple that doesn't also have black and red in it
21:58.23Djones_it has nothing to do with gear
21:58.27Djones_and everything to do with doing it wrong
21:58.59Djones_And again, your healers don't exist in isolation.
21:59.08Djones_You are probably dying to Purple+black more times than anything else
21:59.15Djones_and probably because you have shitty burst aoe damage.
21:59.32Mr_Rabiesi have awesome burst aoe damage
21:59.35g0urrapurple+black+yellow+red is a bitch
21:59.36Djones_No, you do not.
21:59.38Mr_Rabiesit's sustained i suck at
21:59.41Djones_g0urra, yes it is.
21:59.48Djones_Mr_Rabies, you have -comparatively- good burst aoe dps compared to your own.
21:59.57g0urraI can't remember which one we do, but I think it's purple we kill
22:00.01Djones_fire mages, priests, hunters make feral druids look like they're sucking balls
22:00.14Djones_g0urra, we go for yellow because quite frankly two sets of adds is too much
22:00.17Mr_Rabiesso far that's not the case
22:00.28Djones_Mr_Rabies, okay, for clarification.
22:00.29g0urramaybe we go for yellow. I can't remember
22:00.33Djones_I burst 150k aoe dps as a priest.
22:00.34Mr_Rabieshell, half the reason my dps is so high on madness is because of how much burst aoe i get to do
22:00.36Djones_Our hunter beats me.
22:00.44Djones_I average 70-75k on madness
22:00.54fewynhttp://escism.net/omfgdogs/
22:01.03Djones_feral druids are NOT good at burst aoe.
22:01.16Djones_It's just -their- best thing.
22:01.21Djones_That doesn't make it good, only less worse.
22:01.28Mr_Rabiesokay
22:01.32Mr_Rabiesi'm gonna get some lunch
22:01.46Mr_Rabiesi don't really know why you're being so hostile soooo
22:01.50Djones_This is why logs exist, this is why people use those logs to make graphs, labels etc.
22:01.53Mr_Rabiesi'm gonna stop talking and get some lunch
22:02.03Djones_Because facts exist for a reason
22:02.06Mr_Rabiesi guess it's more like dinner, it's 5:00
22:02.11Djones_and ignoring facts because of personal experience is stupid.
22:02.31Mr_Rabiesi've said numerous times that i think we're underpowered, i've agreed
22:02.38Djones_Incredibly so.
22:02.41Mr_Rabiesbut i'd never in my life raid with you
22:02.43Mr_Rabiesever
22:02.55Djones_Do you do 37k on ultraxion heroic?
22:02.57Djones_or more.
22:03.04Mr_Rabiesi do about 32k generally
22:03.08Djones_Then you're a burden.
22:03.14Djones_And when that fight was fresh, you'd never kill it
22:03.16Mr_Rabiesi top the charts at 32k
22:03.17Djones_Now, sure, doable
22:03.22Djones_Then you don't kill heroic ultraxion.
22:03.27Mr_Rabiesoh
22:03.28Djones_Simple.
22:03.28Mr_Rabiesheroic
22:03.29Mr_Rabiesyeah
22:03.32Mr_Rabiesi don't really care
22:03.36Mr_Rabiesi'll get better gear
22:03.46Mr_Rabieswe haven't tried heroic yet
22:04.01Mr_Rabiesonly morchok and yor'sahj so far
22:04.26Djones_Wait.
22:04.27Mr_Rabiesyou seem to be the kind of person who uses the phrase "filthy casuals" a lot, so i don't hold your opinions in very high regard
22:04.33Djones_Not at all
22:04.38Djones_People can do whatever they like
22:04.43Djones_If you want to raid casually, good for you.
22:04.49Djones_Just don't pretend it's viable for heroic content.
22:04.56Djones_Vis a vis "old raid mindset"
22:05.07Djones_i'm casual myself.
22:05.08Mr_Rabieseventually it is, as we gear up
22:05.12Djones_We raid 9 hours a week at most, mostly 6.
22:05.25Mr_Rabiesapparently you're not if you keep people from seeing a fight because you wanna get purps faster
22:05.25g0urraraids 9 hours a week
22:05.37Djones_Mr_Rabies, care nothing about purples.
22:05.45Djones_Progress? yes, purples? no.
22:06.03Djones_Also. Every single one of my raiders can pull their own weight.
22:06.12Djones_And my raid group is balanced so I don't have to sit anyone out because they can't perform.
22:06.14Mr_Rabieswiping even 8 hours a week isn't frustrating at all to me, as long as it feels like we've learned something by the end of the fight
22:06.36g0urrawiping on blackhorn atm feels like waste of time
22:06.44Mr_Rabieswe used to wipe 30+ hours a week, so 8 hours a week doesn't faze me
22:07.00Djones_g0urra, if you're doing it with 3 melee, it is.
22:07.01Djones_Completely.
22:07.03g0urrawhat
22:07.05g0urra30 hours
22:07.08Mr_Rabies"we" being my guild back in vanilla
22:07.25Mr_Rabieswhile doing cutting edge BWL when vael was buggy as shit
22:07.37Mr_Rabiesthat's about the end of my hardcore raiding career
22:07.49Mr_Rabieswe had fun, but i don't have time for that anymore
22:08.38Mr_Rabiesi just go in to have fun
22:09.03Djones_The thing is
22:09.08Djones_You walk into a heroic progress guild with that attitude
22:09.09Mr_Rabiesi tend to die on every aoe pack of trash because i burst at about 200k
22:09.15Djones_You destroy the fun for the other 9 people
22:09.20Mr_Rabiesi wouldn't ever walk into a heroic progress guild
22:09.22Djones_As you cause them to wipe on ultrax heroic constantly.
22:09.23Mr_Rabiesthose guys are mostly assholes
22:09.53Djones_A lot of presumptions that.
22:10.05Djones_What i'm saying is
22:10.06Djones_Do what you like
22:10.09Djones_Enjoy it, great.
22:10.27Mr_Rabiesyou're a fine example of why i don't bother with heroic progress guilds
22:10.34Mr_Rabiesnot that there are really any on my server anyway
22:10.37Djones_My point is you can't just do heroic raiding anyway you like.
22:10.42Mr_Rabiessure you can
22:10.52Mr_Rabiesit may take longer
22:10.52Djones_You can't just do cutting edge progress any which way
22:11.02Mr_Rabiesbut what's the fun in having heroics on farm a week into the patch?
22:11.03Djones_It's not cutting edge progress if you outgear content by the time you kill it.
22:11.09Mr_Rabieswhat do you do for the rest of the months
22:11.18Mr_Rabiesthat's the shit that makes me quit wow
22:11.28Djones_It's cutting edge progress if you do it -in- the gear. I'm not saying you can't have fun, or raid how you like.
22:11.30Djones_Please do.
22:11.45Mr_Rabiesi've never once said that i'm interested or claim to do cutting edge progress
22:11.45Djones_Just don't minimise the effort other people go too to do what they find fun.
22:11.55Djones_No, but you criticise the way people do it.
22:12.04Mr_Rabiescertainly
22:12.29Mr_Rabiesbecause it's a dick move to make someone hang out in stormwind because "lol progress"
22:12.42Djones_Everybody in a progress orientated guild signs up for that.
22:12.54Djones_If you're not ok with it, don't be in a progress orientated guild because it -is- necessary.
22:12.55Mr_Rabiesi guess i just don't see the mindset
22:13.04g0urrayou're being selfish Mr_Rabies
22:13.16Mr_Rabiesi quit quite a few top-tier guilds in vanilla for making people sit out
22:13.24Djones_If i'm the weak link, i will sit myself out in a heartbeat
22:13.36Mr_Rabiesi never sat out because i was resto at the time (that was the only way to raid)
22:13.39Mr_Rabiesbut like
22:13.44Djones_If for some reason shadowpriests are absolutely rubbish on fight X, and I can't make the numbers, I will sit myself out until the content no longer matters
22:13.57Mr_Rabies"rogues, get out, we need more mages for this fight" was like
22:14.01Mr_Rabiesno thanks
22:14.07Djones_Which is fine
22:14.09WardI always wanna sit out but never get to
22:14.09*** join/#wowhead Eraclito (~SD@host177-233-dynamic.54-79-r.retail.telecomitalia.it)
22:14.16Wardbecause I play a resto druid with tank offspec
22:14.17Djones_But don't then say we're doing it wrong.
22:14.20g0urra"melee, get out, we need more ranged for this fight" <- blackhorn
22:14.25Djones_Yup.
22:14.33Djones_Until it gets nerfed further, 3 melee == no point trying.
22:14.45Mr_Rabiessee g0urra, i think you should have planned the raid better in the first place
22:14.52Mr_Rabiesnow you're stuck making people sit out
22:15.16Djones_Mr_Rabies, except raids don't exist in isolation
22:15.18Djones_I run a 10man guild
22:15.20Mr_Rabiesi'd quit the raid and find another if i had to sit out for whatever reason
22:15.21Djones_I have 15 raiders
22:15.29g0urraso you're saying that the melee should have rolled ranged classes instead?
22:15.31Djones_I have 15 raiders because 1 wants to quit.
22:15.42Djones_I've just replaced one healer, and am trialing another
22:15.43g0urraand not playing their melee characters at all?
22:15.49Djones_And we have some overflow.
22:15.58Djones_In those 15 raiders, I have 3 melee dps.
22:16.15Djones_What happens when raid night happens, it's heroic blackthorn and I have 7 dps
22:16.22Djones_3 melee and 4 ranged, and I need 6 dps to do the fight.
22:16.23Mr_Rabiesmaybe you shouldn't have recruited more people than you needed, if you have those who are interested in raiding and not just AWFUL, they should be in the raid from start to finish, g0urra
22:16.33Djones_Mr_Rabies, except you can't do that.
22:16.42Mr_Rabiessure you can
22:16.45Djones_People get ill, go out, have real lives, have to do X,Y and Z
22:16.47g0urrayou're implying you know anything about my guild and our recruitment
22:16.56Djones_Running a 10man guild with 10 raiders is stupid.
22:17.01iblizzardokay, i admit i like raiding casually.. but it's absurd to think that you can have a 10 persno raid with 10 raiders.
22:17.02Djones_You need 12 minimum, 14 to be comfortable.
22:17.11iblizzardespecially if yuo are casual..
22:17.14Djones_Yup
22:17.15Mr_Rabieswhat do the other 2-4 do on raid night then?
22:17.22Djones_Mostly, 1 is out anyways
22:17.23iblizzardcasual means moer people no showing up or not wantig to raid.  which is totally fine.
22:17.25Djones_1 isn't wanting to raid
22:17.28Mr_Rabieswe've got a set roster that raids every week
22:17.31Djones_and the others sit out on a rotation.
22:17.44Djones_and that rotation does get skewed by what content we're doing.
22:17.49Djones_The thing is, we have 3 melee dps
22:17.52Djones_so if I only need 1 to sit out
22:17.59Djones_That's at least 3 weeks between sitouts
22:18.06Djones_and likely much more.
22:18.29g0urraDjones_: let's say you have a rogue, DK, and paladin for melee DPS. which one do you sit out?
22:18.32iblizzardMr_Rabies: if you honestly have the same 10 people show up for every single raid, i'd argue that you're not really casual.
22:18.41Djones_g0urra, no real difference.
22:18.43Mr_Rabiesthat's the plan
22:18.45Mr_Rabieswe only invite 10
22:18.48Djones_I'd ask them if any of them wanted to sit out
22:18.53Mr_Rabieswe've got multiple raid groups
22:18.58Mr_Rabies3 atm
22:18.59Djones_and if not, i'd probably make them roll for it.
22:19.04Mr_Rabiestwo are more casual and have rolling rosters
22:19.13Mr_Rabiesours is the "hardest core" of the 3
22:19.30Mr_Rabiesand we've got exactly who we need, and emergencies notwithstanding, take the same 10 people every week
22:19.37Djones_Every raid?
22:19.40Djones_The same people.
22:19.45Djones_Because that is not casual raiding.
22:19.47iblizzardto me, that isn't casual
22:19.56Djones_Nope.
22:20.09Mr_Rabieswe're not hardcore either, as i've shown
22:20.11Mr_Rabieswhat are we then?
22:20.12iblizzardthat's hardcore raiding, btu failing if you're not pushing content.
22:20.16Djones_That's a hardcore raiding style.
22:20.24Mr_Rabiesit's not though, at all
22:20.25Djones_Just because you don't raid 6 nights a week
22:20.33Djones_Doesn't mean it's not a hardcore style.
22:20.40Djones_Okay here's  a question.
22:20.42Mr_Rabieswe don't really push progress or expect performance beyond not being TERRIBLE
22:20.45Djones_you have the same 10 people week in and week out.
22:20.49Mr_Rabieswe're just 10 people who get along well together who go in and have fun
22:20.53Djones_What do you do when the tank is ill and a healer has a date?
22:20.58Djones_Also.
22:21.03Mr_Rabieswe don't raid that night
22:21.05Djones_Right.
22:21.18Mr_Rabiesthis week we were missing two heals so we're running monday
22:21.26Djones_So, because one person can't make it
22:21.32iblizzardsorry, i was having fun reading this convesation.. i didn't actually want to get involved. :)
22:21.32Djones_You're having 9 people sit out of a raid.
22:21.34Djones_Every time.
22:21.38Djones_Do some basic math.
22:21.42Mr_Rabiesnah, they'll go on monday
22:21.44Djones_Everytime a single person has something else happening.
22:21.50Djones_no raid.
22:21.57Djones_verses sit out once every 3 weeks or so.
22:22.11Mr_Rabieswe'd rather raid together
22:22.13Mr_Rabiesi mean sure
22:22.27Mr_Rabiesif we have others in teh guild that aren't saved and aren't planning on it
22:22.28Djones_Okay, here's the thing.
22:22.30Mr_Rabieswe might grab them
22:22.31Djones_I'm our raid leader.
22:22.38Mr_Rabiesor grab a friend from another guild
22:22.41Djones_I have things on on saturday nights, monday nights every other week, wednesday nights.
22:22.46Mr_Rabiesbut if we can't find anyone, we just put it off until the next week
22:22.47Djones_We raid Thursdays, sundays, Tuesdays.
22:22.57Djones_If a raid doesn't happen on one of our raid nights
22:23.01Djones_There is no rescheduling.
22:23.06Djones_Because we all have lives, we have other things
22:23.13Mr_Rabieswe do friday and monday
22:23.22Djones_every one of us has to a certain extent structured our social lives around a raiding schedule.
22:23.22Mr_Rabiesfor now
22:23.24Djones_We can't just go "oh ok we'll raid on monday instead"
22:23.28Mr_Rabieswe're probably switching to tuesday and wednesday starting soon
22:23.36Mr_Rabiesno, we just schedule 2 nights
22:23.37Djones_Any guild that can just recschedule and get all 10 people is a hardcore raiding style.
22:23.47Mr_Rabieswe don't reschedule
22:24.01Mr_Rabiesif we don't get enough people, we just don't run as an organized raid for the week
22:24.24Djones_How is that preferable to having one or two more people in your raid group and being able to raid everytime you want too?
22:24.27Mr_Rabiesif someone consistently doesn't show up and doesn't have a good reason, we'll find someone else eventually
22:25.01Mr_Rabiesbut we've got a set time and set roster every week
22:25.16Djones_Okay. I have a question then.
22:25.20Djones_You have a set roster every week
22:25.23Djones_10 people.
22:25.28Djones_Out of the raids, percentage wise.
22:25.30Djones_How many go ahead?
22:25.35Mr_Rabiesahead?
22:25.38Djones_as in, happen.
22:25.40Mr_Rabiesoh
22:25.49Mr_Rabieswe've only not raided at all for the week once
22:26.00Djones_Percentage wise, how many raids are cancelled then?
22:26.16Mr_Rabieslemme see
22:26.40*** join/#wowhead nebula169` (~nebula@c-75-72-138-186.hsd1.mn.comcast.net)
22:27.05Mr_Rabiesi'm thinking like 10% for this tier
22:27.14Djones_So you're telling me
22:27.18Mr_Rabiesonly one raid out of 12 weeks i think?
22:27.20*** join/#wowhead twsx (~tws@static.230.96.46.78.clients.your-server.de)
22:27.25Djones_That on average, your raid group has missed 1 raid out of 24?
22:27.40Mr_Rabieswell not necessarily
22:27.41Djones_Scratch on average.
22:27.48Mr_Rabiesif we clear it on friday
22:27.51Mr_Rabiesthen we don't run monday
22:28.06Djones_okay, if we say 1 in 12, even.
22:28.14Djones_More likely 1 in 16-20 but we will stick with 1 in 12
22:28.23Djones_You're saying that out of 120 raider appearances required.
22:28.32Djones_You've had 1 absence.
22:28.42Djones_(or up to 10 if they occured on the same raid)
22:29.24Mr_Rabieswell, generally as long as the leader's there and we're only missing one we can find a ringer for the night, but it's rare for all 10 of us not to be there
22:29.37Mr_Rabieswell 1 heal or tank
22:30.12Djones_So basically, for the past 12 weeks, as a sample study, every single raid has gone ahead, and had 90% attendance rate if not higher
22:30.18Djones_I'mma say this simply.
22:30.20Mr_Rabiesgenerally speaking
22:30.21Djones_That is not casual.
22:30.25Djones_That is not even close to casual.
22:30.29Mr_Rabiesbut we're not hardcore either :(
22:30.32Djones_That is a more hardcore setup than more hardcore guilds.
22:30.35Djones_That is hardcore raiding.
22:30.40Mr_Rabieswe're just people who like to raid together
22:30.42Djones_That is dedication to raiding beyond hardcore.
22:30.56Djones_You raid so consistantly and constantly nothing you do can be considered casual in that light.
22:31.04Mr_Rabiesi dunno then :(
22:31.11Djones_It is NOT casual if you go to the same raid week in week out without fail, and so does the rest of your raid group.
22:31.18Mr_Rabiesmaybe we have a unique setup
22:31.23Mr_Rabiesi don't know
22:31.27Djones_you are not casual if you can maintain a 10man raid group with 10 raiders and not have more people.
22:31.28Mr_Rabieswe don't have any drama or anything
22:31.31Djones_So?
22:31.39Djones_My guild has little, and we're casual-core.
22:31.48Djones_And hardcore guilds don't have to have drama.
22:32.08Mr_Rabiesany drama gets nipped in the bud by the guild master
22:32.15Mr_Rabieshe's awesome
22:32.43Djones_and what would you do if he decided to recruit one more person
22:32.47Djones_and somebody had to sit out every raid?
22:32.56Djones_That would be an average of one sitout every 5 weeks
22:33.03Mr_Rabiesour GM isn't our raid leader
22:33.11Djones_RL then
22:33.49Mr_Rabiesthat's the thing though
22:33.58Mr_Rabieswe don't really sit out unless we want to if the raid doesn't work out
22:34.15Mr_Rabieswhich has only happened once this tier
22:34.16Djones_But you'll have 11 signs
22:34.53Mr_Rabies11 signs?
22:35.07Djones_if your RL recruited an extra raider and you had 11 signs
22:35.13Djones_You'd need to sit someone out every week, no?
22:35.35Mr_Rabiesyeah, but we wouldn't do that
22:36.05Mr_Rabieseither they're in the raid or they're not
22:36.05Djones_No, and do you know why?
22:36.08fewyndoing 16k on warmaster blackhorn
22:36.09Djones_Because you don't need them
22:36.19Djones_Why? Because you're raiding hardcore.
22:36.41Djones_What I find mildly amusing about this whole thing is that you raid more hardcore than I do with that.
22:36.45Mr_Rabiesbut doesn't hardcore raiding imply enforcing progression or performance or attendance?
22:36.45JunkHead-IM A HARDCORE RAIDER!!!
22:36.49Djones_Mr_Rabies, why?
22:36.50JunkHead-GRRR!!!!
22:37.00Mr_Rabiesif not, i guess we're hardcore then :/
22:37.02Djones_a) your attendance is enforced.
22:37.11Djones_because if you didn't turn up you wouldn't raid. Social pressure says hi
22:37.18Mr_Rabiesit's not truly enforced
22:37.23JunkHead-HI SOCIAL PRESSURE!
22:37.27Djones_b) Hardcore raiding is a matter of the style, not the objectives.
22:37.40Djones_For instance, we are a progression orientated guild. We have performance requirements.
22:38.00Djones_But we raid 3 nights a week, at most, we don't enforce 100% attendance at all
22:38.08Djones_We will happily let people sit out whenever they like
22:38.11Djones_And we can still raid.
22:38.14Djones_And kill bosses.
22:38.20Djones_Which is why we're casual-core.
22:38.33Djones_When we raid, we raid hardcore. Every pull is doublepotted, every attempt is minmaxed.
22:38.33Mr_Rabiesyou'll likely just be replaced by a friend of someone in the raid or a guildy that's not going to be able to raid with the other raid groups for whatever reason
22:38.37Mr_Rabiesfor the week
22:38.39Mr_Rabiesor the night
22:38.43Mr_Rabiesmost likely the night though
22:39.11Mr_Rabieswe've only not run once and that's because the raid leader and a healer both had family emergencies just a few hours before the raid
22:39.26Mr_Rabiesthat extended until monday as well
22:39.44Mr_Rabiesif we're missing just one, we'll find a ringer no matter what
22:40.06Mr_Rabiesor at least try as hard as we can
22:40.37Mr_Rabiesif we for some reason don't, then we'll just run without really pushing progression for the week and clear it all on monday
22:41.56Mr_Rabieslike i said, our situation may be unique
22:42.07Mr_Rabiesbecause we're in a huge guild with 3 raid groups, two with floating rosters
22:42.33*** join/#wowhead jesta (~jesta@unaffiliated/jestaea/x-0872513)
22:42.35Mr_Rabiesthey're super casual and just run whatever they feel like they can do with the group they get
22:50.28Mr_Rabiesanyway
22:50.30Mr_Rabiesjambalaya
22:51.11Mr_Rabieshere's our guildox chart if that means anything Djones_, i really don't think it does http://www.guildox.com/go/g.asp?n=Heroes+in+Exile&r=Llane-US
22:51.15Mr_Rabiesevery dip is a roster change
22:51.34Djones_That's true of every guild.
22:51.48Mr_Rabiesbecause someone just disappeared or their pc got screwed up or they ended up being somewhat crazy under pressure
22:52.26Mr_Rabiesbut basically we have a set roster every week, we don't boot people without merit
22:52.50Djones_if you had 11 raiders you would of been fine.
22:53.01Mr_Rabiesif someone's got bad performance we try to help them make sure their rotation is good or help them not stand in fire or whatever
22:53.15Mr_Rabiesyeah, but if i was sitting out for the week i'd run with another guild probably
22:53.20Mr_Rabiesif i liked them i'd join them instead
22:53.40g0urrahttp://www.guildox.com/go/g.asp?n=Emergence&r=Moonglade-EU
22:54.40Mr_Rabiesi'd never sit out and never allow a raid leader to make someone sit out just for progression's sake
22:55.00Djones_I don't think you understand the points i'm making
22:55.12Djones_Having more than 10 raiders isn't about sitting people out for progressions sake
22:55.31g0urrahm.. I didn't realize I 2nd highest ilvl in my gear after our main tank o.O
22:55.34Mr_Rabieswe have more than 10 raiders, but we only invite the same 10 for OUR raid every week
22:55.38Djones_It's about having enough redundancy to cover that fight that needs 4 healers, that fight that needs 3 melee, or 6 ranged, or to cover the time that dude has to go to hospital, or wants to go on a date.
22:55.41g0urraI had* in my guild*
22:55.54Djones_if you only invite 10 people, you only have 10 raiders in your raid group.
22:56.07Mr_Rabiesand we don't swap roster mid-raid at all unless someone just has to leave for the night for whatever reason
22:56.48Mr_Rabieseven if someone who signed up shows up, generally, unless our ringer is TERRIBLE
22:56.53Djones_Because if you don't routinely have more people in your raid group, then they will never maintain the same level of gear quality, experience of the raid, synergy with the raid group and playability with other people.
22:56.57Mr_Rabieslike, they show up late, etc
22:57.29AzelphurI just quit the game/my guild because I was getting fed up with it :P
22:57.45Azelphurit was supposed to be a casual guild, and they'd rant at me for turning up 1 minute late to a raid or something
22:57.50Mr_Rabiesour guild is open recruitment
22:58.11Azelphurand the other day they did a 7 hour raid when half the team said no we want to stop now \o/
22:58.11Mr_Rabiesour raid is a locked roster unless someone can't show up
22:58.30g0urrawho the fuck raids for 7 hours

23:11.40tatewell i dno but i was terribly drunk and got it as top dps
23:11.50tatey is pve so eez
23:11.52Mr_Rabieslol
23:11.56BlackNetway to many visual problems on the deathwing fight
23:12.12Mr_Rabiesi could see that
23:12.14fewyny so srs
23:12.14Mr_Rabiesthere's a lot going on
23:12.25BlackNetfor example, hard to see lightwells
23:12.27Mr_Rabieslots of stacking colors and effects and junk
23:12.38BlackNetyup clutter way to dense to see many things.
23:12.59Mr_Rabiesyeah, it's total chaos in LFR because half the raid is just aoeing either 1) to look busy or 2) to troll people
23:13.08BlackNetother than that's it is a somewhat fun fight
23:13.21Mr_Rabiesthe ragnaros fight stacked too many things against me
23:13.23BlackNetbut doing 25m on that to so that's one of the problems
23:13.33Mr_Rabiesattacking from the front mostly, target swapping, lots of movement
23:13.38BlackNeteven on 10m could barely see lightwells
23:13.43Mr_Rabiesit just wasn't fun to me
23:13.52Mr_Rabiesoh and to knock back the meteors i had to waste 2 GCds
23:13.55Mr_RabiesGCDs
