Maube

send it on over to me Gorrin =) maube@clanskullcrusher.com ::grins::

We are all set now. Be ready, we got some Chainpullin to do!

And Rags... dont forget Rags... We were just so shellshocked...

Crik, Kat and I are headed to a picnic... not sure when we are getting home =/ Holiday weekends make Raiding either easier or harder Speaing of.. we might cancel MC for Wednesday if we dont get enough people signed up! Or we can just try to go clear Luci and Mags =p but that'll make it tough to go for Rags on Friday!

Now that we have had our first peek at Rags... We REALLY need to make sure we have our FR! Please post you current FR gear so we can see what we need! I have: Arcanist crown: 10 Arcanist Belt: 10 Drakefire Amulet: 15 Wildfire Cape: 20 and 15 FR enchant or Chromatic Cloak: +9 an +5 enchant Flarecore Shoulders: 24 Tidal Loop: 15 Torch of Austen: 10 Blazing Emblem: 15 Flarecore Leggings: 16 and being a mage... I have the talent that gives me +10 to all resists. Now I wont be using all this FR (as I hear with the buffs and UBRS Buff it wont need to be as high as I can make it)

Stretching, Maube began her morning stroll through the camp. Nodding to the grumpy Horde that greeted her as they prepared their morning meal. With a start she stopped at one tent, something was different. No footprints or embers of a fire... but the sign was missing. With a whoop, very unbecoming of a Chieftan, Maube turned and sped towards the tents of her closest friends to share the good news. The resident Assasin had returned.

WOOGAH

::grins:: Not a welcome back til I see your sorry arse among us once more ::winks:: Seriously bud, been missing you!

::Squishies a Roach::

Greenbull. You do not play a Decursive class. dont you remember when we were on Gehennas not too long ago adn I kept crashing out? That was because I needed to get rid of many settings due to the fact that CTraid is intense for decursive classes. No one knows his system like Fomor, so just accept that please. Enough with the targetting, I was simply stating the reasons why Raid lEaders really want people for people to get it.

The majority of those signups are our MC group. there are 9 spots still available. 3 run the BMC MC... We might be able to pull it off once a week again... As much as I love ZG... I really like watching that @()#*()^()&) dragon fall

what a BEAUTIFUL Signature!

... And he wonders why we call him teh Smelly One...

The techniques we use are due to our own situational experience Took us 5 weeks to get Geddon down. Big thing with Shazz, every week people panic when he blinks, we dont like unpredictability. and pleae remember... we only have 3 mages on Wednesdays (not by my greediness either =p) and getting in range to Detect when I am in the back bandaging my wounds isnt a top priority until I know I can survive a blink AOE. Just trying to get the Curse off Greenbull often kills me =p The Gar thing is to have their pets on the banished to buy the warlock a little time. This we use because some days we dont have 5 warlocks.

For those of you who knew how tense I have been the past week (besides being unemployed) Want to let you all know, my sister does not have cancer. She went in for surgery today and found she has endometriousis. Not a fun condition either... but not Cancer. Thank goodness So everyone, the next Grog is on Maube

Egads that sucks.. And Hijaking my own thread... WHERE ARE THE PICTURES WOMAN!

Alright. Let me sum this up. I know Fomor cannot run Ctraidassist. I have spoken with him about it. He has proved himself in the Core and in other instances. This was not a post singling out ANYONE. But rather to let people know why I request people have this installed. So let it rest with this poor guy, he is a Clanmate. Or I can start harping on shortcomings of others, not everyone can afford the uber system I run on. Or better yet, go pick on Gorrin. (and I still have problems and um... technically cant afford it either =p ) Some people dont know how this program helps a raid leader. Remember everyone, these raids are not just about one person, but about 39 other folks as well. (or in last nights case with Luci... 29 )

::sighs:: guys, this was just me asking for people to consider my position, not a post to flame each other.

Let me reiterate something... There is a difference between people who CANT run CTraid... and the people who are too lazy/predujiced to even give it a shot. I am not directing this at anyone in particular, just asking people to see my side of things here. Verissi and I monitor the bufftimers through CTraid. It really slows things down when an entire group doesnt have CTraid so we cant monitor the buffs. Before you started running, priests wouldnt bring enough candles, we couldnt check that before the raid and so ended up slowing us down even more. All I am asking is for people to go halfway with me on this. As Gordantell and Verissi can attest, running a 40 man raid is no small feat. I have talked to people who's systems Cannot handle CTraid and I have talked with people who just flat out refuse out of stubborness. yes it can be done without. Yes you do a fine job (I know your computer cant handle it so fear not) however, trying to get everything working like clockwork has to have everyone working together. But there are people last night who have a VERY important role that is automatically expressed through CTraid that refuse to get it for issues that have nothing to do with computer performance. If I am distracted for one minute, Mags could Enrage and beat the crap out of people before a hunter thinks - oh I need to Tranq shot. When the moment Mags enrages a CTraid pops up telling them to do so (before I was stating why I really need people to help me out) Same things with Shamans and Purge on Shazzrah. These are things that happened last night. If your computer cant handle CTraid that is a completely different coat of paint. Oh... and some of the people who I speak of have been raiding with us since MC first started... who have been asked... and apparently just ignore the request as they never come out and say, Computer cant handle it, or get it. ::shrugs:: just asking people who CAN, to help me out

I know some of you dont like Mods. You dont like things like that. However... i was noticing last night that more and more people are saying 'screw this no CTraid for me' Let me tell you what that does to the Raid Leader. A. Makes it harder to keep track of who needs buffs. B. Makes it harder to keep track of durability and knowing when to drop a repair bot C. Makes it harder to monitor where people are before the raid starts and in the raid (example, the Shazzrah fight where everyone panicked and we wipes) D. Makes it harder for me to check on resists and know who needs to start working on getting more resist gear or who the raid can help get resist gear for E. Checking reagent supplies to let another of the class take over some buffage F. Letting me hand out potions to those folks who dont have the potions to keep the raid up G. Lets me keep track of Druid's Rebirth and Warlocks SoulStone We are all making sacrifices to Progress... but it makes my job a HELLUVAH lot harder to run a raid when I have to be in tells with half the raid asking about things that a simple program will show me. Just ask the people who have lost an item they were entitlted to because I was caught in tell hell at the moment and missed their bid. Consider this, installing it but ONLY using it on MC night. All it takes is a little checkmark in the addons folder once or twice a week. At least to help the Chieftan and Raid Leader maintain a little bit of sanity as I try to herd Cats. Just Raidassist would be heavenly. Please consider the sanity of raid leaders.. http://www.ctmod.net/lowbw.ct?id=0

Well this patch proved... we can take down Lucifron with 29 people.

Me thinks you need to try this quest. First step: Find a Babysitter. Second step: Make reservations at her favorite restaraunt. Third Step: Take her to said eatery Fourth Step: find a romantic spot Fifth Step (optional) usually a shinee can help with faction increase Sixth Step: Bring her home for a nice backrub and FOOTRUB. Works for Katak ::grins:: And I do mean for me repairing faction with him, not vice versa...

We have ZG you silly Shaman

Oh they dropped the rates? No wonder we havent gotten any the last two times we went out farming ::mutters:: Hey at least we got 5 before they droppedt hose rates =) Now to kick Domo this week! RAWR!
