Hi all,

I have recently transferred to this server and have been away from the game during most of this expansion. My goal is to get back into the raiding aspect of wow for MoP.

I am looking for a heavy raiding, friendly, close knit guild to settle into. My ideal guild would have members that prepare carefully for raid encounters and have appropriate enchants and gear as i bring all of my own pot's, flasks, food, fish feast, etc (in case they are needed). I am 35 years old (male) and prefer a mature guild.

My raiding experience has been sparse throughout this expansion as i have just gotten back into the game, however, throughout Wotlk I consistently completed 90% of the hard mode content. As an example I completed, with my guild at the time, ICC 11/12 heroic when it was new content. I have a similar record with most of the wotlk xpac.

Thanks in advance for your consideration,

Thel

Like your enchants? 50 mastery over Lavawalker? no 50 int to bracers? I'm not even going to get into Arcane Mages, seeing as fire is the optimal spec.

Your LK 10 man kill was in june 2010. LK was first accessible in Feb 2010. Thats the earlyest benchmark you couldhave been running Heroics with if it was with your guild as you said. TOGC 10 was completed late OCT 09. TOGC was available september 09, making that perhaps your best raiding achievement based on what you said.

I'm not getting into your Ulduar stuff, only 1 kill on yogg says you don't have much experience on it.

You ask for consideration, and showoff. This is what you receive.

Keep in mind i'm not recruiting you or anything, I just did the digging for anyone on this server that might.

Progressing far in Wrath whether it be by release of content or months after regardless does not make anyone a "Veteran" raider, it had by far the easiest tiers of content the game has ever seen, in fact although people QQ about H Lich King because they fail at side stepping, the only "difficult" fight was Heroic Anub in ToGC, and only when pushing for the insanity run.


I'm sorry I think I missed the memo that Wrath had some of the easiest tiers of raiding. Naxx was easy, yes, but Sarth 3D, Yogg 0 lights, Heroic Anub, and HLK 25 even with a 30% buff were all miles harder than most of the content we've had this expansion. 10 man Sinestra, Rag pre-nerf, and Spine pre-tendon-nerf might compare, but blizz has completely gutted the fights and is basically handing out free kills at this point. In a decent guild you still had to work your a$$ off for a HLK 25 kill months after the 30% buff. Progression wise, Ulduar still has one of the longest progression timelines, and its hard modes are hailed as some of the best, and most creative in the game. Heroic Anub just made people cry at current content with hundreds of sub 2% wipes.

We haven't seen a fight that required so much coordination from raiders like HLK did (some BC raider can tell me I'm wrong b/c I didn't experience half of that expac). If you think the 'difficult' part was side stepping shadow traps that should have been the least of your worries. I would rather be wiping to that fight now, than trolololing along platforms and running around on DW's back.

Derailed thread is derailed

You say that as if my post had anything to do with Cataclysm tier? Or that i even compared the two? My post was purely opinion although nearly all WotLK fights are rated as easy. Yogg 0 lights was easy, it merely took time for some people to figure out when and where to move. Sarth 3D was a joke. I said Anub was the exception, oh, and this is grizzly hills, LK is still a hard fight for people.

I'll take my ramen with a side of non-derailing replies.

if you're saying that wrath had the easiest* tiers of raiding then are you not comparing them to all the tiers? including this expansion?

BoT, BWL, BH, Tot4W, FL, and DS are still pretty hard for those not new to raiding or those coming back after quitting during wrath or just before Cata went live. The problem being that most guilds (that raid on a reg basis not hardcore) across all realms dont want to raid the older ones except for maybe xmog runs. With most guilds nearly completing Heroic DS runs and getting ready for MoP in a few months from now, that really puts a damper on ppl coming back into the game wanting to raid again after a vacation.

Good luck on finding a guild. Im sure theres one that raids the older Cata raids. :O

T11 H was the hardest overall tier since Sunwell


Pre Nerf ICC would like a word with you.

The only fights in Heroic T11 that were of any consequence were Ascendant Council, Nefarion, Sinestra and Al'akir.

T11 H was the hardest overall tier since Sunwell, In it's prime Firelands gave a lot of people issues and Ragnaros is still one of the hardest fights ever(for some it's The hardest), H DS is a joke now, sure, but pre nerf Warmaster, Spine, and Madness, especially Spine(and it still does) tears raid groups apart. So my statement still stands. Keep tryin' start, derail more!

As much as I agree with Heroic DS being a joke now, who are you to talk when you got your kills after they were steamroll easy lol

2 weeks on the end game raid boss sure felt like a joke to me lol

heroic rag is the only fight that even compares to the wrath bosses zooy mentioned (i can see why she mentioned heroic spine as it is an extraordinarily difficult dps check but that can mostly be remedied by class stacking and i've never even killed sinestra at all so i won't comment on that) and seeing how she is one of three people on this thread who has even experienced all these fights you are naming while they were somewhat difficult you should probably trust her opinion
