That's awesome! I always feel bad that I can't include everyone every raid :\ And I know that a lot of those who've been signing up are A-gamers that I just can't squeeze in if I want to be consistent. *cheers*!

Is there a timer that lets you know when Gruul is about to Shatter? Also, yes, Crik, I wasn't plannin on doing the pie chart group thing anymore

Another thing about the intergroup buffs.. Last run the groups were sposed to be switched up after Maulgar to better enhance DPS for the Gruul fight. And I know some people say that the DPS increase with intergroup buffs is only marginal, in the length of the Gruul fight the intergroup buffs play a much larger role than in 5mans. Don't blame Baracko for not switching up the groups, I should have made the lists more clearly pronounced in my email. About the shatters. Melee DPS shouldn't be running all of the way over to where ranged is at. In fact, ranged DPS should be the farthest away from the scene (and it would be good for ranged DPS to learn the "safe spots" as shown in some of the videos Crik posted). Healers should be between the melee and the ranged, and ranged should still be closest to Gruul. I think a lot of the melee DPS have it in their heads to get farthest away from Gruul, even though distance from him doesn't matter, it's distance from the other players that matters. And I know we also may have a problem with some people not moving, and just assuming that someone is going to move away from them. Don't assume Crik, if you want to go ahead and talk to the other healers, and set up some sort of healing rotation, we should talk about that I know a lot of people just stay logged into the gruulshealing channel, myself included. I can tell you right now, I'm having to pull some melee DPSers back to doing healing/ranged (myself included). I talked to a few other guilds, and they usually do assign one person per half of the room to toss some heals onto the unfortunate DPSers or other healers that take a big shatter or can't move fast enough from a Cave In. The way I have it set up for next week is 8 healers, 4 on each side. Though I do know and understand the need for a healing rotation with the healers we have to prevent overhealing and wasted mana. We'll figure something out before Wednesday Other than that, I'm glad folks are reading up and watching videos and the like. I can't wait to get this big ugly beast down. Also, I'm glad that the group we have works so well together. I know there are a few rough patches here and there, but overall, we have both the group mechanics, and the group chemistry to pull this off. Much love!

Awesome! Definitely a good read and lots of good advice. *gets to planning*

I wanted to thank all the Crushers and everyone who've been so great at showing up and helping down the big ugly thing. Also, thanks for contuining to let me have the signups on the raid signups page. And a BIG congrats out to Baracko, who keeps his title of Loot Whore being the first to get a tier piece from the Lair And grats to Darkkyn for his epic win. Lots of love and hugs and <3 <3 <3!! -Amahli

I'm taking my leave of the Clan. I love Clan Skullcrusher. Since I joined, the people in this guild have been family. Ya'll have been more to me than I could have asked, and I loved my time here. With BC, some things did change. And I'm not going to drag this post on longer than I have to. I'm just going to say that I found myself gravitating more and more away from the guild. Crushers will ALWAYS be family. Only now it'll be more of an extended family. You guys have my heart. If I can ever do anything, and am able to, I would gladly do it. Like a very wise Elder told me: "Good people are good people... it doesn't matter what letters are over their head." As far as Gruul's Lair goes, I will be keeping it going. Aletia is fine with me hosting it with ya'll still, and I will NEVER kick a Crusher for any bias reason. I do have to maintain a class balance still, but if someone's been loyal to the raid, I'm definitely not going to kick you. I guess that's it. I wish I coulda told everyone individually, but I didn't have that kind of time. You know how to reach me, and you guys are freaking awesome. I hate long goodbyes, so I'll depart now. Much love and hugs and XOXOXO, Amahli

Couple reasons it was cancelled. First, I can never get a full raid to sign up on our Raid Signups page. So I'm stuck with wondering what the hell I'm going to do about the 5-10 people I'm missing. Will I have to replace them? Will I be able to replace them? Is it honestly that hard to click the little button to Signup? The second reason is personal, and I don't want to have to really deal with the drama of scrambling around and trying to find replacements for the people who have to leave early, or the people who don't show up at all, or the ones who cancel last minute. So I'm going to deal with my stuff, so I can deal with the raid. Should be up next week if we get enough folks signed up.

Though I'd post it on here for those who don't log on WoW first.

LOL But they forget about the sneaky feral droods who'd be ever so happy not to have rogues roll on feral gear. *shifty eyes* Or was it the other way around?

Ah will sacrifice a Zhevra at the namin' ceremony!! *grins*

Dude, it's totally worth it. I would agree it'd be unfair if we got our epic for free. It'll probably end up costing more than the 5k, thinking about the warlock epic mount quest. Apparantely to be comparible? But worth it. INSTANT shift, remember. Jump off a cliff and FLLLLLYYYY.

Wait... so you can't have, for instance, the 70 mana per 5 FLASK stack with the ELIXIR of major mageblood (also a mana per 5 dealy)?

OMG LOVE LOVE LOVE!

I'm giving up on Stagard. Might use a mage or a shaman. Or another druid >_> Bwee hee hee.

*drools* Epic flight form.
