If the Lurkers are serious about any kinds of raids we will need to have some commitment to doing so from more than just a few people. We will also need to equip some of our more important members better. Gnolack as MT has pretty good armor and weapons but its time to kick it up a notch. Its also come to my attention that Aleri hasn't had a useful equipment upgrade in quite awhile. Getting gear for her is also pretty important if not only in the group setting but in a sense of accomplishment. It sucks doing a instance and not getting anything out of it by the end.
We also need to clear out some of the new 60's quest logs and bring folks up to speed on things like the Onyxia key, etc. I know that Bolty has had the Windsor escort on his log forever - from what I understand it will have to wait for a couple of weeks until he gets back from his honeymoon. After that we need to bring him up to speed as well. Folks need to start using the "What we need thread" and also start posting threads in the forums - the only way I can be there is if I clear things with the wife first and pay my dues. If its spur of the moment or too late in the evening don't necessarily count on a half-assed paladin tank or a dps focused warrior to join you. :) Given enough notice and I can be there provided its not a late start time. :)
In a formal raid setting this is answered by how many folks can heal themselves versus how many main healers. I handled my own heals with Aleri hitting me with renews afaik yesterday. I've been in raids where I was the tank of my group and had a dedicated priest who healed me. I've been in raids where I was named Main Assist (who was supposed to handle pulling o.O) and was also required to heal myself because my priest wasn't interested in keeping someone who could heal themselves alive. Needless to say the raid would have gone badly if our MT hadn't been an absolute aggro BEAST who pulled everything off me lickedty split. ;) Big 40 man raids usually have a healer in each group and a team of five who heal in rotation on the MT though.
