Yes or no? And if so, only for this week. I'm not quite willing to extend a raid for two weeks like Pie has on Yogg.

Pros as I see it: We would get to actually work on the Lich King.

Cons: We don't have Sindy on farm yet and usually take a couple tries on Putricide. I don't know what loot people still want/need from the other folks. A whole week of likely wiping (not because you guys are not awesome!).

My yes vote is highly dependent on whether or not people still need loot of of bosses that are major upgrades. as long as we only extend once each time, I'm cool with it.

I vote yes for the pros Zsari mentioned. From the sound of things, loot doesn't seem to be an issue so far, but it could be that someone hasn't spoken up.

I'm good for gear except for a gun off of Valithria, and badges to buy primordial saronite. Like the others have said if there's still a good number (2-3) of upgrades available for people, we shouldn't extend. If we are all over geared though, I'm good with spending a night or two on LK.

I can't find fault with any of the rationale folks have posted for extending the lockout. Being able to spend 'quality time' with LK right off the bat when we are fresh is certainly a good strategery.

That said, my vote is no inasmuch as A) there are still a couple of OS items that would be very helpful B) I need emblems, emblems, emblems and C) the thought of an evening of nothing but wipes is not exactly Good News Everyone.

Obviously though, majority rules and I will enthusiastically contribute my mediocre DPS to whatever you all decide.

I don't think there's anything for Zsari to get for her main spec from 10-man ICC at this point, since she's in a 25-man that's all regular and the like. But I luff you guys and will pewpew what I am told to pewpew!

I don't want to wipe for both raid sessions on the LK, but some time to work on him would be nice.

I suggest (since this week the weekly is Sarth) that we start with a Sarth 3D burn. That should take ~ 15 min.

We then go to ICC and work the LK for an hour / hour and a half and see where we are at. If we are making solid progress we continue. If not, we could do a heroic TOC no wipe run for a pony with the remaining time or take a look at working through some of the Ulduar meta achievements. (Ponies and Dragons, oh my!)

I'm not really sure what I need in ICC from the pre-Sindy mobs. I will have to look at the list. But regardless, killing LK and opening heroic mode is probably more beneficial anyway.

*signs on to Zahryn's plan* Wiping all week was my biggest reservation honestly.

Zahryn's plan does seem good to me as well.

So at this point, I think we're going to do 90 minute stints on LK on the weeks we extend, but I don't know that we're ever going to extend more than a week at a time to work on him barring a strong desire by the group to grind ourselves against him until one or the other breaks.

At this point I'd like to get your opinions before we implement further. Sunday will be another 90 minutes on LK with a possible ToGC run, Ulduar achievements or an early break.
