Group4 (provisionally) will be as above but will be made up of any ppl from the grp4 list and standby list. Also please PLEASE everyone chosen above in ALL groups be at West Skona as the final groups are never actually finalised until we move out to the lair and ppl from ALL groups can be moved up to groups 1-3 depending on who turns up.

I will post the finalised list Wednesday afternoon which will be very similar to the above

 

[Trina]

[Messiah]

u can count me out as i was in need of some respec stones and i was 5th tank to sign up gd luck

 

[Ormorof]

rolling for thane like usual

oh and messiah its not about when you sign up, as blue said

Post below with your class, spec, RA's of the class you wish to attend with and I will do my best to make the most balanced groups to make it a success.

 

[Wai]

Was first light tank to sign up (bar bluesky ofc) but thats not reason why i won't come if not in grp 1-3, reason i won't is because its my birthday on thursday and i was meant to have a family meal in a fancy place somewhere wednesday night for it but i turned it down for the dragon raid because of how badly i need those stones (thats reason i signed up so fast to guarentee i was first tank to sign up so got a good spot in grp 1-3).

Anyhow will only come if in grp1-3 as don't really want to have it rubbed in my face i gave up going to a meal for nothing

(just thought i'd explain y i sed i don't wanna come if in grp4 )

 

[Chamie]

Just a question... Why not use 2 pbt RMs in each grp since that gives 3 sec pbt?

 

[Stinko]

Guildevent this evening, so I can't attend.
Sorry 'bout that

 

[belxavier]

signing up myself with thane sc suit mob2 blah blah rolling for fotm gimp hunter!
and signing up for nightfall 48 pac healer as she doesnt use this site much she will be rolling for sb (nightstar)

 

[balkeriz]

Balkeriz Lvl 50 warrior fully capped(resists, stats) rr3 .Purge Det1 Mob2.

going for Stones again if no stones. then i'm rolling for SM

 

[belxavier]

hmm ok didnt see u wanted details on ra more so thane has mob2 mastery parry 1 mastery pain 1 capped stats resists sc suit.

nightfall healer has purge and perfect recovery and unsure what else but gives u an idea cya tomorow neway.

 

[Jakus Morgan]

Just a question... Why not use 2 pbt RMs in each grp since that gives 3 sec pbt?

Cos then you'd have to loose either a tank or a healer in each group.
This set has been proven to work many times on this particular raid

 

[Brelakor]

Also you'd have to time up pbt again each time one of the cloth wusses die

Let me explain my reasoning of exactly what goes through my mind when I setup the groups as as usual some ppl are not happy with their positions:

1) First and foremost: The raid must succeed and if that makes 1 person unhappy at being in group4 (or on standby) then im sorry but if the raid fails then EVERYONE is unhappy and probably wasted a couple of hours of their time so for a successfull raid we have to kill Gjalpinulva.

2) I try to balance ALL the groups to make sure there are a combination of experienced ppl on the raid who know their roles well and know how the Gjalpinulva behaves and what to do with adds etc. with new ppl on their first Dragon Raid. Instructions are given in my cg on the way there so EVERYONE knows their specific job on the raid.

3) I try to have enough ppl spare to fill spots when ppl cant't make it or just simply dont turn up. So just because you may have signed up 2nd or 3rd does not mean you are guaranteed a grp1-3 spot.

4) I try to use ppl that I know are reliable as its very annoying for any raid leader when ppl dont turn up and dont pass on any message or pm to me telling me they cant make it and that and will definitely be in my mind if you reapply for another raid. A simple courtesy pm/mesg is all that is needed.

5) I try to balance the needs of the raid's success to the needs of the ppl who apply - so its very possible that if I only have 1 healer spot left and 4 applied and we have a shortage of power fonts and if 1 of those 4 healers applying has one then I most likely would give them the spot as without them the raid has less chance of success (see point 1 above). I know this may not be fair to everyone but organising Dragon Raids using this method does work.

When you sign up is not overly important as everyone who signs up between when i make the initial post (wednesday night or thursday) and when I post the initial groups (monday or tuesday) has a good chance of being on the raid. Applying after my initial group setup is posted doesn't mean you wont get on it though, it just means you are less likely to get into groups 1-3.

All groups are always provisional meaning anyone from ANY groups including the standby list can be put into any other groups higher up at ANY time and this is ALWAYS necessary when we meet at West Skona so just because you are put in grp4 or standby list does not mean you will have a wasted evening. Every raid I have been on either my own or other ppl organising it this has happened.


There, my ramblings are over and I think I have made all my points to explain how and why the group setup is the way it is. Everyone makes mistakes (said the Darlek climbing off the dustbin lol) so if you see something wrong in my post feel free to point it out and make suggestions etc.

See you all at West Skona 7pm uk (8pm cet) - my cg will be open 30 mins before
