Maube

FYI, Mirk said he would come tank Luci for us. he has full Shadow Prot gear as Huato knows =) But more strat is always good. Goodness knows I am on Decursive duty

Maybe thats just how I see myself =p Dregs mentioned that once I grabbed the raid by the short hairs, things got done hehe

http://www.mysignup.com/cgi-bin/view.cgi?moltencore322

Let me say this... We need to get our tanks with Shadow Resist for the Luci encounter... Was chatting with Mirk about what we were doing wrong and I believe Green didnt have a lick of shadow prot on him

::grins:: Hope you enjoyed it, sorry I got grumpy at yah there Tainish =) I can be a royal you know what when I want to keep people moving and they just dont want to move! =D

::blush:: It isnt my leadership that got us here... it is me being a pain in the ass and harrassing people to show up! Of course... I am sure you guys could do it without me =) I am proud to be a Crusher... and you have no idea how much I was yelling when we took down Luci... hell to the awesome boots I won... WE TOOK DOWN LUCI! And I lived through it... with 102 hitpoints remaining ::giggles::

I guess that means you dont want me to lead the raid when I am PMSing?

drip drip drip The sound of the steady rain on the tent kept distracting the young mage. Twisting she looked out of the tentflap. Weeks had passed since her initial training excercises and now she was devising new spells and techniques to use on her enemies. The horn outside the Clan encampment blasted three times, warning of the incoming battle. Maube donned her cape and hood and swept from her tent into the downpour. "Whut is dah report?" the mage hailed a peon who was scrambling towards the Mess Hal. "You, Peon. Nub time fer dah eatin! Get Haq!" The young orc saluted then darted towards the tent used by the Trollish Rogue Haq. "Beet'cha" The tall Troll slipped from the shadows to grin at Maube, eyes glimmering in the dim smokey light of the torches. Maube chuckled, used to Haq's coming and goings. Ever since the first battle he led Maube into... or rather took over the command once the General was slain, Maube has looked to him for guidance and advice. "Whats the plan?" The lanky troll grinned at his friend, picking a piece of something from his teeth, "Ah need'ah tah watch fo'da Mill. Big group rumored to be camp'd der." Maube nodded, without the mill there wouldnt be anymore lumber rolling into the Horde encampment. "if it Comes dhat Ah cant keep mah position, I will fall back to guard the farm... dont need those ######s burnin anythin else." Haq nodded then called to the Peon guarding the mounts, "You de're. Gimmah ma Raptur!' With a salute torwards Maube, the troll was off, mounting his raptor and then gone into the smoke hazed scenery surrounding the Arathi Basin. Maube nibbled on her lower lip then walked to the tethers to retrieve her trusty mount Clomper. "Here we go Luv... just another romp in the countryside... like we used tah..." Maube looked towards the glowing horizon, where the alliance front line was. "When we still lived." ### "Fall Back! Fall Back! The Farm is under assault!" Maube screamed above the din of battle, flamespurts and ice flying from her fingertips as she attacked her foe. The Human was mocking her, making rude gestures as he feigned in. Maube felt her iceshield begin to give in under the assualt. "Yer mine you filthy undead." The human spat at Maube as she danced away again, her strength was waning and exhaustion was overcoming her. She had run back to check on the farm to see a Human Warrior slaying the workers. She charged in, forgetting her disadvantage against his plate armor. One last frost nova and the Warrior was pinned in place, a fast blink and she was farther ahead of him. Limping from the hamstring the warrior performed before she was able to get away. One last Frostbolt... that is all i have left... I am at his mercy... A cold feeling descended on her then... a feeling that she may not survive the battle. Her unlife might be snuffed from her in a blink. Then Maube realized... that didnt matter. If she was to perish, she would do so with Honor like a True Skullcrusher. Mumbling her arcane words, she let lose a blast of icy air just as the warrior broke free. the mage gritted her teeth and prepared for the impact that was due to come from the warriors mighty ax. She would face this death proudly, like a true warrior. Suddenly, the warrior gasped. Maube blinked in surprise, surely her icebolt wasnt enough to down the Warrior, sure his skin was blue from the impact of her icy blast, but enough to stun him like that? Daggers flashing, Haq quickly disembowled the stunned warrior. Cheapshotted, the Warrior was too stunned to get out of the way or retaliate. One last fireblast from her fingers and the human was nothing more then a stinking and burning pile of flesh. "Gud job dere Mawbers. Ah jus sped 'im along!" Haq grinned, licking the blood from his blade. "Din't want mah secund in command ta get tired out!' Maube smiled her appreciation as the victory cry went up... The Basin was for the Horde... this time.

Alrighty so we have Tainish and Albinion up for an attunement tnight!

I am very jealous as well =X

You are already down Huato =) However, you may have your hands full ::grins::

I am thinkin of you and your family Huato! Ohhh I cant wait to see dah liddle Moo!

I personally am a frost mage. I have enough points in Arcane to give me disruption free Arcane Missle and Evocation the rest is in frost. Iceblock has saved my life many times, often with double digit hitpoints left and ice shield is very good for when you are soloing or farming large groups. Firetree does seem to net more damage, but the slowing effects of Ice let me stay alive longer, provided the level 5 cow doesnt resist the frostbolt three times in a row

Snoopy Dance FTW

Well folks, things went VERY well considering how many newbies we had in our ranks. We made our way to Lucifron but were unable to bring him to Justice. Next week! Baracko Benim Betelgeuce Blacktusk Brainah Chemmy Dreguuz Dugand Dugrall Flayer Gordantell Gorrin Greenbull Grawuulf Huato Kalrash Katakorintha Maube Meadowglen Mesuyki Mogbertha Morgh Narsica Neela Odenn Rayvn Riav Sanius Supherius Taurrior Timtimtawni Tyrissia Uglutz Vanidi Verissi Vidaliaz Volonazra Xyrdaxis Thank you to all who attended for your listening skills =) Do not get discouraged! I had maybe 5 people tell me that was the best they have ever seen a first time group do! Congratulations to Gordantell for Giantstalker Bracers, Odenn for Giantstalker Belt and Benim for Vambraces of Prophecy! It has been decided that the value for Tier 1 Belt, Bracers, Boots and Gloves is 75 There fore everyone present has earned 6 DKP Gordan Odenn and Benim are now at -69 DKP I will make a spreadsheet over the next couple of days and will talk with Dreguuz about where we will post these DKP points for all to look over! Also, there is one Lava Core in the RAID bank as well as 30 Bars of Dark Iron Ore and two fiery essences. These items will be saved until we have enough mats to make Dark Iron Plate for our regular tanks! Once again, EXCELLENT job folks, next week lets try to all be at the instance by 8:30, do not expect a warlock to summon at the last minute! Btw: I forgot to RR the greens that dropped. Using the list above I rolled 1-37 and Handed out the three greens to the winners. i got caught up in the excitement =) My apologies!

The reason I want to use DKP Wuulf is that this is a high stakes place. And being that you and I both have a tendancy to lose out on rolls the most... well Huato too... but he is pimped out... it would really suck to lose out on every piece that drops for a certain class. Zero sum just makes sure that people technically take turns =)

Gordantell keeps Arcanite on tap, he transmutes every time he can, just send him the Thorium and the Crystal and he will send you an arcanite bar

And for those people who whine about not having enough FR gear... just remember... people started from scratch with little to show! If Greens can do it, we can do it! =) We have quite a bit of teamwork down already thanks to BGs. Now we just need to put our plans into action and trudge our dreams to fruition =)

Alright folks. As always, events of this nature may cause some big Drama. However, I will do my best to make sure things are fair and try to keep everyone happy! At 7:00pm Invites will start. After 8:00pm those not signed up on the forums will have a chance for invites. Please try to be in the mountain before 8:30 since the first pull will be at 8:30. BE BUFFED AND READY TO PULL AT 8:30! If you know you are going to be late... or stuck in the Queue and are signed up, park your butt outside the instance before hand, and message me in xfire. Xfire is a program that lets me know in game when you are sending me a message. maube is my handle. Poor Warlocks arent there just to summon lazy butts =) From here on in... if you wait until the last minute and expect a summon... it will be a 5 gold charge to the warlock who is wasting a shard which could be better used for Healthstones and Soulstones =p I could always work out some DKP points being awarded and taken away... but right now... expect to pay up if you are too lazy to get your arse to the mountain on time! We will be using Zero Sum DKP Zero Sum means that members gain DKP via how many DKP points are spent on the items that drop on a raid, divided by how many attended that raid. (Instead of the traditional, where a monster would have a certain DKP value assigned to it that all members would get after the monster was killed). DKP Tiers are used for determining loot. This system does not suffer from the "old members have insane amounts of DKP that will never be spent" syndrome (or at least, much less so than other systems). Tiers also allow new members to the guild to have the possibility to win loot instead of having to gain DKP over months and months and never be able to compete against those that have been around for a long time. This DKP system has evolved from a system built 3 years ago to simply keep track of who won what, to what it is today, a full featured system with pretty much any feature you could possibly want. Patterns will not be considered part of DKP. They are things that best benefit us without gimping out the people who want to save their DKP for class items and buffs to their own character. Those crafters who win these items will NOT charge for their services. They will be done at material cost no more. DKP price list: DKP Site link: http://crusher.core.eti.br/mc/ 25 DKP for quest items and Nexus Crystals 50 DKP for Tier One Set Pieces 100 DKP for Accessories(Epic) and weapons 125 DKP for Tier 2 In Game DKP Commands: Sending a whisper to Maube with the following will net you results !dkp = your current DKP total, this does NOT take into account any recent deductions in the current raid !bid = lets you bid for the item currently up for purchase !list = gives you the list of folks bidding for the item !help = gives you a menu of the ! commands DO NOT JOKE BID. I do get confuzzled =) People Who are first timers with the raid can only roll on tier armor pieces should their turn come up. Should something get Disenchanted... the Nexus Crystal will be up for purchase for 25DKP. Should someone come into the raid late and assist in taking down a Boss, they are eligible to spend their DKP on the boss's drops, however, if the DKP is close (up to 5 points) between someone who came in late and someone who already helped take down prior bosses, the player who was helping from the start will get priority. Thank you to Xaos for pointing out this. However, keep in mind that in most instances, DKP from drops during the raid are not factored in until AFTER THE RAID CONCLUDES. But once you purchase an item, you have that DKP deducted from your current account. For example. Player A has been to every raid, but has passed on the set items for his class because he already has them. Garr drops his helm, he wants it, so he gets it at top DKP. 50 dkp is subtracted from his total. He is still 50 points ahead of the next of his class. Geddon goes down and his next piece drops. he is still the highest of his class with DKP. Signups are posted on our Signup Page http://signup.core.eti.br/characters.php People with the 6WK attendance get priority in moving from the Queue to the Raid proper however I reserve the right to use my judgement on class fiddling. If we are tackling something different, 7 of one class might be more useful then having 5 of each. Talk to me in whispers if you have any concerns. I dont play Favoritism, I play what is best for the raid =) On Quest Items: Quest items go to the Class member with the highest Lifetime DKP Mogbertha- Grats on the first Leaf! Odenn On Attendance: we need everyone to be on the ball and put in the effort and remember, this isnt just about one or two people, this is about 39 other people who depend on each other... so be courteous, if you need to bow out of the raid... please let someone know ASAP. Email, Private Message, Xfire, Post on the forums, in game letter, SOMETHING =) Also, on Cores and Leather These items will go into a 'Raid Bank' to gear out regulars in FR gear. So for instance, if we have three warriors who show up continuesly and prove to be strong tanks, they will get first dibs on Dark Iron plate that gets made. Same goes for the clothwearers. Maube has the patterns for a good many Flarecore items therefore those will be able to made as well as the guild has Leatherworkers who can make Leather and Mail with good FR. However, PLEASE TRY TO GET SOME FIRE resist on your own! Main Tank Core Gearing: Greenbull - Dark Iron Helm, Dark Iron Bracers, Dark Iron Leggings and Fiery Chain shoulders Alhazad - Dark Iron Helm, Dark Iron Bracers, Dark Iron Leggings, Dark Iron Gauntlets, Fiery Chain Shoulders Relikk- Dark Iron Helm, Dark Iron Bracers, Dark Iron Leggings, Dark Iron Gauntlets, Fiery Chain Shoulders Raid Gearing Scryll - Lava Belt Roh - Lava Belt Chemmy - Flarecore shoulders Verissi - Flarecore shoulders Maube - Flarecore shoulders Kalrash - Flarecore shoulders Mogbertha - Fiery Chain Shoulders Gordantell - Fiery Chain Shoulders Gorrin - Dark Iron Helm Vrugz - Flarecore shoulders Molox - Flarecore shoulders Sianora - Corehound Boots Lomar - Dark Iron Helm Odenn - Fiery Chain Shoulders Grawuulf - Corehound Boots Thundertotem - Black Dragonscale Boots Raid Bank If you would like to spend your DKP on the BOEs in the Bank, contact Maube for more information Arcanist Bindings Arcanist Belt Felheart Belt X3 REPAIR YOUR GEAR: Do NOT come into the Core with anything below 90% Durability unless YOU have all the materials to make a repair bot. They are Expensive to make. If you are not a Main Tank or a Main Healer and you call for a repair bot on the first 3 bosses, you will have DKP deducted and given to the engineer that brings the Repair Bot. They are NOT cheap to make. Teamspeak is a usefull tool. We would like to keep idle chatter to a minimum, so if someone says something of import, please listen! We do want to have fun, but giving raid leaders a headache makes for a cranky raid leader Posted By Volonazra: A note on the use of Teamspeak.... Part of the benefit of TS is the enjoyment of the personal company of the people involved, but also it is a tool to make leading such things as MC much more efficient. When one part starts to prohibit the other, there will be problems. Too much party time leads to less advancement and too much overbearing efficiency leads to less enjoyment. Either extreme is not what anyone wants. Part of our guild culture is the light, easy going, fun atmosphere. Fun and games are welcome (if not manditory), but remember there are 39 other people to be conciderate of as well. Nobody has the right to make our mates, and especially not our guests, uncomfortable. More importantly, the leaders must to be able to do their job without fighting over chatter nor repeating themselves. When its time to setup and take down a boss it is critical that the channel be clear. Know who is leading, listen for them, and give them the ability to manage the raid unhampered. See you all in the Core. CTraid is also a must have for this raid, be you healer, tank DPS, anything. PLease download and use it, even just for this raid. We cant afford chaos and confusion GET CTRAID We will post the DKP numbers weekly on the forums so you can take a peek at your standing. Patterns: Katakorintha: Core Marksman Rifle, Biznik's Accurascope Verissi: Biznicks Accurascope Greenbull: Elemental Sharpening stones Korgall: Elemental Sharpening Stones Gromit: Accurascope whatever whatever =p Kalrash: Spell Power Enchant Arzenic: Felcloth Shard Bag Raeda: Core Armor Kit

Yeah... I sucked the guild dry on essences ::grins:: but one of my alts might have one lying around!

::salutes:: I will keep my eyes open =)

Winging it... everytime I make a time... it falls through =p

Vani? Grent? What say you two dorks?

Alrighty, gunna be running at least one of these tnight. Gotta get Kalrash and Baracko attuned! FYI the attunement quest starts at level 55! And yes... I will need two packmules =p I have a LOT of Dark Iron ore packed up in the mailbox =p Some of it is going to my Thorium Brotherhood Rep, and others are going to make dark iron bars!
