9-Man vs. 1 Million dead: The odds are just about even.

Orin · **Posted:** Fri, 02 Jan 2009 06:22 +0000

Yes, 9-man will be setting up for raiding on the week of the 19th. Current available targets are Obsidian Sanctum and Naxx.

What I need right now is a listing of who's available/interested and when. So, post in this topic with the following format:

Nick
CharacterName/Class/profession(level)
Days/times preferred(in FST)

Rinse and repeat lines 2 and 3 with alts if necessary or desired.

At this point barring sudden changes I'm sure we'll have two tanks and two healers. That said, offtanks and offhealers are welcome and I'm quite eager to have a sub of each type (tank/dps/heals) as well knowing the volatility of 9-man's roster historically.

Once I have 8-9 folks listing here I'll set up formal times and days. We're raiding no more than twice a week, but odds are we'll be hitting both sites since they're close together and the Sanctum's gear will help us with Naxx.

Orin
Fiadfiel/Feral Druid/leatherworker (428)
M, W-Sun 8pm on.

Lightsear/Spriest/tailor (409)
M, W-Sun 8pm on.

I'll have Orin, Sunderan, and Mirthless up there eventually but not anytime soon. More eager to deck Fiad out in tanking gear via heroics right now.

Additionally, those who want to do heroics I'm debating a 3rd night as a 'casual heroic' night, where we grab members within the raid who are interested and hit heroics to get gear situations firmed up. Thoughts?

Ktulu - Elemental shaman - Jewelcrafter(443)

Kaadan
Anolethros/Frost Deathknight/Engineer (65) -- don't laugh. I'm working on it. :ermm:

Sun-Sat 8:30PM on.

Kaadan/Demonology Warlock/Enchanter (380ish) -- again, I'm working on it.

Sun-Sat 8:30PM on.
(Kaadan is not level 80 as of yet, but he will be before too long... hopefully within a week or two of the raid starting up).

Verali/Marks Hunter/Leatherworker (430)

Zsarilya/Shadow Priest/Tailor (426)

M/W/F/Sat 7 server on, Sun all day, Tues 11:30 server on.

I'm currently working on gearing both these ladies, mostly through crafting epics and opening up Sons of Hodir rep for shoulder enchants and instances. Zsari isn't quite ready for heroics yet (though her other stats have increased, her spelldamage is about what it was when we finished ZA).

I may have the mage ready by the 16th, but no promises.

Also! A couple things I'd like to see in 9man this time around:

-A more regular-friendly loot policy. It benefits the raid to have loot going to regulars rather than to subs. I'd like to see regulars get priority somehow.

-A new Wrath name! Nine And a Half Men? Something involving pudding? The possibilities are ENDLESS.

Not hearing a whole lot of folks here. if others would post it'd be great.

Unless I see a few more posting here or talking to me otherwise in game I'm going to do an initial call for bodies on the 21st as a dry run. 8pm.

Balis-Resto Shaman-Enchanting(420ish)
mon-wend-fri (8pm server or later)

Cant wait! Oh and might not be a bad idea to have 3 dedicated healers for a bit. Some of those boss fights split the groups quite a bit and make it hard for just 2 of us. Just a thought

Verali · **Posted:** Tue, 13 Jan 2009 03:25 +0000

I can start working on the healadin once I've met my goals for Zsari (shouldn't be terribly long), but I'm not sure I'll get her geared in time. (Paladin healing, on the other hand, would probably make me sniffle less!)

Therwynn · **Posted:** Tue, 13 Jan 2009 08:16 +0000

I hope this is not too short notice, but I would like to resign from 9-man. It's definitely NOT a /ragequit or anything like that, and I still <3 each of you. If you ever need a healer or rogue (soon to be the full menagerie.. or not so soon, actually >.>) for dungeons/heroics/general tomfoolery, please let me know!

*hugs for all*

Verali · **Posted:** Tue, 13 Jan 2009 08:40 +0000

I'm going to miss raiding with you a lot. Sorry to see you go. =/

Therwynn · **Posted:** Wed, 14 Jan 2009 02:04 +0000

T_T Can I still be involved in pudding shenanigans?

Verali · **Posted:** Thu, 15 Jan 2009 01:57 +0000

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Orin · **Posted:** Mon, 19 Jan 2009 07:17 +0000

So this is who I have:
(H - Healer, D - DPS, T - Tank)
Fiadfiel(T/d)/Lightsear(D/h)
Verali(D)/Zsarilya(D)
Anolethros(T/D)
Balis(H)
Ktulu(D)/Stonweaver(T)
Visceraut(T)

So we need 2 healers and 2 DPS. In theory we can do 1 healer and 3 DPS, but I would admit to wanting to take a hybrid that's initially specced healing then put them back to DPS after we get geared for the harder fights (4 horsemen, etc.).

Ktulu · **Posted:** Wed, 21 Jan 2009 05:33 +0000

If absolutely, positively needed, I can go healer. I'd have to respec once a week (and back) for Double Drakon Burger, but if we can't find anyone, I'll bite the bullet and help Balis fling around chain heals. I'd also need to scrounge up some replacements for my +hit gear, but that's not really a big problem.

Verali · **Posted:** Thu, 22 Jan 2009 04:31 +0000

I'll start working on the healadin -- I just can't bring myself to go healy with Zsari again after I hated it so much in ZA.
