Not to derail the thread too much but there have been comments about loot (or lack there of) for some people that really make me understand why some guilds use a DKP system now.
Several nice loots have gone to people on their first raid with us. Some loot has gone to people that we haven't seen on a raid anymore. I am not advocating any type of point system for us, but well after being raid leader on Saturday and after being the guy who was relaying stuff from TS to raid chat tonight I got some whispers from some people about loots and such. There were also some people (and yes for those who know there was more than one person) who whispered me saying they were frustrated about being on all the raids and not getting a single piece of loot.
I only bring this up because I'm afraid it's going to become a bigger issue as we go forward, unless we get more settled in with the people who are raiding with us regularly.
Edit: To clarify the "first time they raid with us". This isn't about the Australians or Ruv or anyone else who can only come one night a week. Heck Treesh is pretty much going to be in that class and I might end up there. The issue is that since we keep filling raids from guilds that aren't part of the avarice group that loot has gone to some of them and we haven't seen them again or we've seen them just once after that. There are Basiner's that could end up in that type of category as well. They raid with us 3 or 4 times and maybe win a good loot and then they end up getting in on the Basin raid schedule so we don't see them again in our raids. We could still very well have people that have gone to 15 raids with us that haven't gotten a single good loot. That is the issue, we aren't a "stable" raiding group. And since there have been grumblings about it from some quality players I would like it to become a non issue somehow.
I too must thank Treesh for joining us. If nothing else preventing the first fear on Anadrol to prevent Mag from running around was huge. I know (because well you is my wife) how tired you were. :) With stance dancing not always working, as Darian said there was a time for both him and I where I had my fear immunity from berserker rage but I still got feared. There was another time that CTRA said 5 seconds until next AoE fear and I went berserker stance, hit rage and the fear came 2 seconds after zerk rage wore off. Of course with the fear wards on Anadrol neither Darian or I had to try and step up and tank him since Anadrol just stood there happily and pummeled him.
Finally I'm looking forward to seeing some new parts of the core on Thursday. :)
