Just a reminder Thursday is my last raid day. It has been a blast and I definitely benefited from having met all of you. I'm not sure what I want to do with my account-maybe just put it on hold til cat comes out Just wanted to say good luck and thanks. K

A useful piece of info from this is that when Arthas is close to phase transition, we can just focus dps on him rather than trying to kill valks. K

GJ on Sind. LK: I saw a lot of people standing in the P3 cloud...not sure if everyone understands this mechanic...additional clarification may help. As for the Valk's, it looks like we are having a similar problem as the spikes during the marrowgar fight-people aren't switching fast enough or melee has to run too far to get to the group. If we treat this phase like Marrowgar spikes, it may help our positioning. Any way we can introduce a "spread and collapse" technique to deal with the clouds and valk's? But I guess that is the overall theme to this instance-pieces of the early boss/trash abilities to be used as "practice" for aspects of future boss fights. Although moving out of bad ###### is nothing new....and neither is the majority of the raid dying to it. K

Hey guys- It looks like it is time for me to say goodbye to WoW for an indefinite period of time. I will absolutely not leave you guys immediately, unless you want me to that is , and can hang around and raid until the end of June. Hopefully by then you can find a suitable replacement-and I'd be happy to sit out any raid in between for the tryout period, if needed. K

Cough cough Eigun "That item with agility, attack power and critical strike rating is for my tanking set...." Which I think is fair because Zu charged him dkp for loot out of naxx last week... K

I updated the calender Wednesday, accepting the invitations for raids starting the first full week of April. If that wasn't clear enough, I am stating here that I will be back raiding starting the first full week in April. But maybe I didn't. I can't remember ###### nowadays. I guess it could be worse, I could "D/C" right before the last attempt of the night every week. K

Yours will be truely big shoes to fill. We'll need to palce an ad on the forums that is something like this. WTB- Huntard with sub-standard DPS, Feigns Death at the first sign of trouble, complains alot, and does not play well with others. p.s. please provide us with the names of at least 8 players that have you on ignore. Sorry douche...just couldn't resist. Epic. Well done Elrikk. I don't know how we will go on without his witty humor and off hand remarks. 2-shay....I am crying on the inside... I would provide the list of 8, but since the first 7 are kadi why bother? K

Hey douches- I am going to take a few weeks off of raiding-just need to take a break at this point and see how it goes...which is a bit better than where I was at Thursday with a complete resignation from the run. Time to think and all that I guess... Not saying this is a permanent vacation, but in the same breath I cannot guarantee my return. Do what you need to do including replacing me permanently; I do not expect you to hold my spot. I will be on here and there and could pop on if you guys are in a tight spot. Just let Eigun know and he can get in touch with me. Good luck. K

And if I can add a tip for the ranged folks.... After each slime is dead, position yourself ready to start dpsing the next slime immediately when it spawns. They just need to die faster, no two ways around it. K

Hey guys- Gonna be traveling Thursday so I am not going to make it-I will update the calendar tonight. K

Hey guys- Don't buy the arrow pattern until you guys talk to me tonight... K

Oh my god I cannot believe how wrong I was. We are full of fail. And I will fix my mic as soon as you people stop being douchebags. K

RE: Sitting folks I'm not sure if this is already done, but I would suggest waiting to sit folks until right before the raid. This will all but prevent folks from planning other activities in advance. The new rotface strat looked good-I would be surprised if we don't down him in the next couple attempts...barring any lag issues, naturally. K

A couple rumors about Rotface: The slime spray he does is in a random direction, not on a random player. The sooner the mutilated injection is dispelled, the sooner the next one is applied. He doesn't hit hard so it is recommended to have 1 healer on MT and the rest OT/raid. I am not sure what is true/false, but I just wanted to put it out there for thought. It would also help if the warlock pads were put on the same side of rotface just 10 or so yards apart (e.g. one behind each leg). Obviously it depends alot on positioning the boss after the slime explosions-which seems to be a pita. K

Looking at the run last night, our dps is full of fail. We need to have rotface killed before folks start dropping, no way around it. It is a hard fight to monkey-proof so people just have to do better.... K
