ICC 25 Gearing Run - Sun, 9/12 @ 8:10pm

If you went on Thursday to the progression 25 man.... YOU ARE NOT LOCKED TO IT.... Only Ikuri is. Unless you kill a boss in ICC you don't get locked when you enter it. So since we didn't kill Arthas, anyone who was in the progression raid can go on Sunday to Xyro's raid and gear up in lower citadel ..well anyone other than Ikuri...

So if you were thinking "Damn I want to go gear, but I was in the progression raid" then THINK AGAIN...you CAN GO.

Everyone else is cleared to go but me since I'm holding the 25man lockout. My pally, Xianne, can go however, so if I can get the munchkin settled, I will try to be there for tanking duties.

oo oo oo...I have 2pt10 can I tank it?  pwease?  pwease?????

I'll be there for sure!

We should be able to make it, I think our schedule is clear that night. I'll ask her when she gets up.

My rogue could still use some of the lower cit gear from 25 man.

can take her or my hunter--and I will sit for any mains who need gear.

Seeing as how Xyro isn't locked to 25 man I wouldn't mind brining him as I can still use some pieces from 25 man, namely trinkets, wand and the sanctified marks. I have been tanking the 10 man Gearing/Alt runs for the past few weeks on Xilvia (which is more than capable of handling 25 mans now), but seeing also how we may have our normal tanks go I don't know how our tank situation will be.

It seems like we've had a rather large influx of tanks recently, just please remember this is a run to gear your main over an alt, obviously also MS before OS rolls.

But, My main is Joxmu....and and...main spec is Tank spec....so if I have to switch to DPS for the raid, can I rollz on tank gearz?  (Not that I have ANY priority over anyone....heheheheheheheheheh)

I do realise that your MS for Jox is tanking and I know how hard it can be to get tank gear at times given we kind of have 'set tanks', at least for progression sake. Believe me I have a similar issue with my tank which is almost my only spec for him since I fail at DK dps (Which is why I've been signing my tank up instead of Xyro for these gearing runs). But I think this is best discussed among the raid, come raid time since we don't know who will actually be tanking this weeks gearing run (I'm also not sure out of our usual tanks who has viable DPS OSs).

I feel though whoever ends up tanking doesn't truly need something, that it wouldn't be out of the question for someone as yourself to get to roll or even get said item for tanking. Again, this is something I feel has to be dealt with 'come raid time'. Those are just my 2 cents.

...and try to come. The only thing I'd like to ask is that I be allowed to get some tank stuff, since I'm sorta an official tank (at least for 10mans). If not, that's cool.

But I tanked the Nightfall kill so I want tank stuff too.

Not serious, just trying to make a point.  Tanks roll on tank stuff, dps rolls on dps stuff.

Our rule is Mains>Alts, Main Spec>OffSpec.

with us doing alt/main runs, I think it might be a good idea to adjust the loot buttons on EPGP Lootmaster to account for different rolls. Maybe something like:

Main Spec

Offspec

Alt Main Spec

Alt Offspec

Greed

The Lootmaster has final say on the loot distribution, and though we rarely invoke that authority, it is our right to deviate from the rolls as stated in our Rules Bible. The order above would be the priority order, and from there it is broken down by Priority Rating (PR). We try to take into account rolls for people that are required to gear equally as dual spec (Samm, Mel, War are the best examples I can think of offhand) and we do look at whether the item is a significant upgrade for someone or not. But generally we stick to the PR order.

Thoughts on coming up with a uniform Lootmaster button setup?

because we care, Relm :P

Parents were visiting to see the baby and just couldn't get them to leave! RL 1, Saf 0.

It's sunday night and i'm working, so...you know....that sucks...

I think that tanks will be more necesary in Cata than they are now.   The 10 man loots being = to 25 mans will mean that we are more likely to run 3 ten mans than to run a 25 man and sit 5.  This will require double the tanks of a regular 25 man raid so the more people we have comfortable tanking the better, just make sure that you have another spec available wether on your tank character or another character. 

My parents got back into town from Montana, and my mother required help unloading their stuff and the dogs. Sadly, my father has become severely infirm recently, and thus couldn't help with any of it; hopefully now that they're back in civilization (seriously, look up Sula, MT and see what kind of nothingness it resides in), he can get checked out. Anyway, see you guys Tuesday.

Last night went nicely, with us even doing Heroic Gunship with many alts. We didn't shard one piece (Which I love to see) and I think some people were still fairly new to ICC, so it's great to get people in there and become familar with fights.

Don't fret to much about not being able to make the raid guys, as it was Cacc voluntered to sit, since we were one man to heavy. We did call it after downing Saurfang since it was getting late and we lost about 5 people. Also many thanks to Cacc for initiating heroic mode for the Gunship battle, people got some nice goodies out of there. As usual I'll be running another Gearing run for this upcoming Sunday and if we don't kill LK (Which we will) I don't see why we couldn't do another 25 man, if not we'll do the usual 10 man.

On a side note it seems like tanks are becoming more and more frequent. Sure some aren't peoples mains or main specs, but it doesn't mean their not up to the task of handling ICC right now. Just some names that come to mind are Xianne (Iky), Jox, Censura, Safardeya, Roobik, Xilvia (Xyro), Malky, Kibs, Whompum (Pox), Samm, Mel, Tart, Warfury, Tal, Summerlilly's DK Tank and I'm sure there's more that I'm forgetting. That's 15 right off tha bat, again not all are mains...really most are alts, but just sayin' we do have em if need be.
