All,
We briefly discussed it last night, but I just wanted to get everyone's thoughts regarding Karazan this weekend. I went ahead and put a thing up on Guild Calendar for Friday at 7pm, but I'm free to start earlier on Friday if possible. Further, on Saturday I'll be busy at night, so if we had to finish Kara I'd be fine with doing the rest during the day (that's assuming we don't finish it all Friday night). What does everyone else's schedule look like? As of now here's the lineup:
Seraph - MT
Elstara - Heals
Ekibiogami - Deeps
Raenen - Deeps / mana battery
Zayl - Heals
Zoah - Deeps
Rhobeast - Heals
Chibbiwon - Deeps
Mcgroth - Ret, lawl, deeps ^^
Braver - Offtank
Turning to heroics, I'm sure we're all happy to run them; badges are our friends. I'm free tonight around 7:30-8ish to run whatever the daily is if everyone else is cool with that. We could most likely begin 2 5-man groups for daily/or other specific heroics. Just putting some thoughts out there to get convos started. Let me know what you guys think.

I have a suggestion...well I'm telling you guys the course of action I'm deciding for tanking.
Being as Josh seems to finally have his shiet together on a final class. (I've always played a tank, no matter the circumstances while Josh has gone from mage to rogue etc, but he seems to really enjoy tanking now)
We'll both be MTing by taking turns week to week. So for one Kara session I'll MT, next one he'll MT, etc.
My only concern is the massive ass rapage Blizzard gave Paladin in the OT process without getting healed for spiritual attunement, mana goes down real quick unlike a Warrior's ability to generate rage. It's a huge problem for OTing, most will just stick to healing when they OT because attempting to DPS is terrible. Kara and other raids do have events, encounters were two MTs are required for the fight but during fights where it's us vs one guy, the lack of having sufficient mana returns is epidemic. Even with Seal of Wisdom and Sev giving back mana, I'll be OOM by my third power cycle if I went all with everything I had each session like DPS could (Assuming no threat issues).
Unless you guys spoke to Cato, I believe he's feral and there for DPS not healing. I understand he would heal if required but I do not think that's his priority.

Im kind of in the same boat, but not quite as fragile as your mana pool. Unless I am getting hit, my rage is complete shit as well. I am whacking on a boss with my measily sword, getting 2 - 3 rage a swing (maybe). Luckily, I could always grab some Rage Potions (and you Mana Pots) but thats kind of risky wasting your potion cooldown if things get sticky.
In a fight like Moroes, where I would have to stay second on the threat chart while not getting hit, it can be a little close on the Omen if the healers are going crazy.
Anyways, I am sure we will make it through, no probs. I REALLY think we should do a mixed order of Maiden before Moroes. I am sure he will be our bane, so Attumen and Maiden are pretty much sure things. Knocking them out early will guarantee more gear, badges, etc.

Today's Daily heroic is Underbog by the way.
On a side note, I'd really like to run heroic mechanar or mana tombs. Otherwise, I'm fine with underbog.
Anyways, uhh... The passed 3-4 weeks I've worked on thursday and friday... And then sunday... And with more people leaving us, I might work 4 days this week instead of 3 like last week ( Although the weeks before that I did work 4. ) So... Saturday has been my only free day, And I don't get off work friday night until... 11:00 Or so.
Also, he said he'd heal if needed, but I don't think he has any healing gear so our first, maybe even 2nd times in, he'll end up probably doing feral dps until we gear him up in instances.
I'm all for running whatever, but first and foremost we need to prioritize running instances / heroics for the main people who need to be geared, that being Billy and Cato... Maybe Chibbi's Mage? And anyone else who has gear they still want.

I have class tonight from 5- 6:50. I can run anything after 7:30 I guess. I need to work on a paper but I can do that after the heroic and daily. I need to get better gear too my gear is hurt! I did get rid of my green bracers and got some purples from pvp rewards. I need healing gear not mage gear like I have right now!!! I am actually going to try and work on my paper now so I don't have to worry about it tonight that way we can run like 2 instances if need be.
I have class though every day except for Friday
Monday and Wednesday- 5-6:50
Tuesday and Thursday- 7:30-8:45

Your paper is due weds? Put that up there on the priority list.
My paper isn't due till thursday so I'm free tonight.
Oh and good news! I'm rocking nearly 18K honor now with 100 AV marks.
Out of the 34 games of AV I played Horde won all of them except 1 and each one is a landslide victory. As a testament to Ret at level 60. I pretty much point click, kill everything on site. Having Boots of the Decimator, Sword of Misfortune for great crits is fairly brutal. I consistently top the damage dealing, killing blow, honorable kills list. I'd say maybe 28 games out of the 34 I played I've been #1 in all of the above and always number 2 or 3.
With Kendra there, I can rush in and drop a gang of people without dieing only having to drink to refill my mana before chasing people. It got to the point people would mount up and run from me when they saw me on the Field of Strife.
So, I'm having a TON of fun doing level 60 AV right now. I have enough marks to get my Merciless sword and the two other merc pieces. With Horde losing quite a bit at level 70 in AV, I can spend all my time in EOTS to get my honor and play with the rest of you guys in BG and start some arena.
So for any of you guys with a 50s character alt, get them to 60 or 59 and use them to play with mostly PRE-BC geared players. It's funny seeing T2 guys and stuff here and there or players with Benediction.

I see your rage/mana probs in offtanking but thats what our hunters are for. MD'ing the offtank if he needs to be 2nd in line for certain fights such as moroes. The offtank is always gonna just be there for show really until he's either maintanking or offtanking a completely different mob.
Its up to you two if you wanna take turns week to week. I suggest just taking turns per boss. One of you do the even fights one week, then the odd fights the next. Or just figure out what bosses you each are strong on and do those, then just split up the ones that dont matter.
As far as healing we need to get our 3rd healer in line. Because im forwarning everyone right now. Unless we have 2 healers running like 1700+ its extremely difficult to run with 2 healers, and there is no way we will be using 2 in ZA. So we might as well just get someone started on it right now.
Im available everynight, and given i think my gear is in the worst shape i hope to get it in on a lot of these runs. But i would also like to get in some magister's terrace runs b/c i have probably 5 pieces i need out of both normal and heroic versions. (when we get to heroic)
I glanced over everyones gear and I think we are way more than gtg to get through Kara and in the next couple weeks maybe line up a ZA run as well. Chibbi and Myself being the exceptions right now and even chibbi is probaby kara ready. The good thing is we have some dps'ers who are more than kara geared to make up for some of the slackage.

I think, this week, I am going to be the problem child...sorry in advance. But, I will still tyr to make something happen if we can. especially thurs or fri.
