that sir, was your 7th post. I think I love you. Anyway, apologies for the thread hijack - just the first time I have seen your sig!

Google Drive for the iPhone can edit spreadsheets now, so you can keep track and edit our gear progression from your phone

You fell asleep before 9? Everything ok?

End-of-semester bullshit. Won't be a problem after Christmas.

I made a post about raiding tonight on Thursday night, but it's not here anymore. Waiting on Mharz tonight. We're going to try tomorrow too (especially if we don't get a shot tonight)

Blah.. was sitting around watching TV.

Never saw the post.  Was I the only missing link?  Sorry if that was the case.

[Tbone]

Yup, everyone was there and we had cleared trash. We were just waiting on you. Did you forget? We sent you several texts.

Sorry folks.  Yeah I had the phone on the charger on vibrate.  I thought we were on for Monday not Sunday.

Mucho apologies all around.

We've got TFB on farm and should be able to speed through most of EC NM. Please note that they added the Overload knockback back to the Minefield.

We may or may not have Ana tonight. He told me he wasn't going to make it but then said he'd move things around so that he could, so we'll see.

Everyone watch this please:



Step by step guide to Kephess NM. It better explains some of the mechanics. The biggest change is that this group has the tanks go behind the walker during the shield phase. Healers are in front of the walker, and SENTINELS (MAURADERS) take the shield guys (warriors) and burn them down while everyone else AOEs behind the walker.

Wife agro tonight

Everything in here seems very possible.

My concerns are:

1.  The "natural tank aggro" that is going to draw the adds in.  This is unlike anything we've seen in the past but if they claim this happens I'm in for rolling it.
2.  Healers better be hot standing out in front healing two dps (Tbone, Sared) that are killing the Warriors(shielders).
3.  They do tank swapping to make sure one tank is always eating the bleed and the other is always tanking but I think the way Lith and I have been doing it is simpler and will be fine.  In fact maybe a little better because we'll be able to roll defensive CDs while tanking Kephess.

Oh wait they had two Mauraders.. so that means we would need two Sentinels.. hmmm

[Tbone]

So Broin, you're out tonight? I'll probably be out tomorrow night - it's our cast party. Or I may just be a little late.

We've never done this with the bleed added in. It looks like both tanks will be taking about equal damage regardless of if they are tanking Kephess or absorbing the bleeds, but I dunno.

The bleed is a Hard Mode mechanic.  We've seen it lots.  Might be worse in NiM but it's the same bleed icon as we've always seen.
