Thank you all, and grats to you too Babs! And Makiko and SoulsAssassin! This is always such a happy thread

Hello! 200ms - yikes. That would be very rough. Stormreaver and Illidan are hosted at the same data center, so it should be just like it was on Illidan. What did you study at the University of Minnesota?

I remember watching the Big Crits 2-parter for H Sha! Wow, I had no idea things like DDoS were going on. I still remember him being a very fail tank and giving up on that, which led to the kill. It's sad that you were pulled off right before the kill and missed it after all those wipes!

Hey Swazyee! I just recently came here from Cho'gall. What's going on with Lusting on Trash?

These are very reasonable expectations, and I agree to follow them.

Thank you all! Excited to be here!

I feel you on the conq tokens! I'm still using 2pc T14 and have 1 lonely T15 piece in my bags awaiting a mate. I use 3 coins a week on tier bosses, too, and no luck there.

Me too.. for now!

When we first started looking, SoH listed Holy Paladin as needed. That's changed, but I do feel like it would be worth keeping in touch to see if it changes again, since I really think this guild would be a great place for us. We both have some alts at 90, but none of them are remotely geared for ToT. I won't speak for her, but I suspect she'd much rather keep focusing on her Paladin. Thank you for your consideration, and I'll look forward to hearing from you again some time!

A specifically tailored list! Why do you think we know so much about bombs, though? 1. I'll have to go with Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest 2. My dancing has 3 phases. First, I start feeling the music and moving my body. Second, within 15 seconds Dev laughs at me and tells me to never do that again. Third, I act like I was just kidding and dancing horribly on purpose. 3. I've always been a bit of a chess person. I also like FPS games a lot, and I used to be very competitive with them, but for the past few years I've mostly just played CoD games on my Xbox. 4. Green 5. White Russians, though I make them with milk instead of cream most of the time, so I guess they're Caucasians. 6. I'm pretty optimistic by nature. 7. First, juice the apples onto the raccoon and wait for it to dry until the raccoon becomes sticky. Next, throw the monkey wrench towards the raccoon (don't worry animal lovers.. not with the intention of HITTING the raccoon!) such that you scare it towards the bomb. It will run past the bomb, which will stick to it as it continues to run far off into the distance. Safety from bomb achieved. 8. I'm pretty social. I like to hang out and chat, but I also put a lot of value on some quiet time.

This game owes me coining my 4pc this week anyway. I haven't received anything but gold from 3 coins a week all tier! A big pay off is coming soon.. I feel it. Thank you! I would like to check it out a bit more. Saturday afternoon will be fine. Do you have a more specific time you'd like? I've been hoping to catch you on line to mention it, but Devotional has been planning on applying, and now she has. I'll just give you something to perhaps begin mulling over. We're not a strictly package deal such that if she sits at times I'll leave the raid or vice versa, but we are looking for a place where we can both have the chance to earn a spot. I know that you have recently brought in a trial Holy Paladin. If he or she is doing great, we can be patient and check back occasionally to see if a spot opens up. It's important to us to find a place that will work out great in the long term, and if that requires some waiting, it will be worth it. We can definitely discuss it more on Saturday, but I wanted to give you a heads up.

Thank you! What's a devil gotta do to get that list of six questions?

9-12 hours is fine, and Mondays are also not a problem for me. I'm really pretty easy going with times for the most part, but when the extra 4th day turns permanent, all raids are suddenly scheduled an hour earlier and are starting even earlier than that schedule, and they run late just about every night.. well 9-20+ hours is just too erratic for me!

Don't worry. Given the chance I'll help deflate his ego in the near future You have some very valid concerns, and I also agree that great damage isn't really that essential for progression. I am completely okay with doing odd jobs, such as HM Will/Elegon soaking or Garalon kiting. I was on add duty for Protectors, and while my dots tended to be overkill on them and cost me some damage, it helped us get the kill, so I didn't have a single complaint. Getting bosses down is the most important thing, as I do see myself as part of a greater whole in raids. While I love fights that allow me to purely maximize my DPS, not every fight is like that. I can eat my veggies! Here is some utility that I've found for Shadow: Dispersion has been put to great use this tier and last tier. I soaked for HM Elegon and Will, taking very little damage and allowing healers to focus on others. I could also solo soak Unseen Strikes on Blade Lord, probably annoying Disc priests that have already blanketed the raid in shells but I think helping out overall Currently, I solo soak Static Shocks with it. On a similar note to dispersion, I found that I could negate Korthik Strikes on Wind Lord to take no damage by taking Phantasm (before it was nerfed for PvP reasons) and popping Fade as soon as I was targetted. I had such high hopes for Spectral Guise, but it's been a let down in raids so far. Mass dispel has also been of great value to raids. I felt very instrumental during Wind Lord progression because of how important the dispels were, and while it required me to VT for mana more than I would have normally, I was happy to lower my DPS if it means a kill. More recently, I've used mass dispel on Heroic Horridon at the first gate to frequently cleanse melee of the sunfire debuff. Again, this requires VTing adds for mana more than is really optimal for DPS, but I'm okay with that. Let's see. Mass dispel was great for Spirit Kings and for Tsulong's Terrorize, too! Vampiric Embrace is a cooldown that I try to use well. My "go to" glyph setup for raid fights includes the VE glyph. This makes it more potent, since I can pop it along with DP (and MF:I on many fights this tier) to get a much bigger burst of healing as well as larger overall amount of healing done. I try to time this for heavy raid damage when possible, and especially during progression try to use it several times a fight. At the very least, I'll use it at one time it's needed most, where I can make sure I have 3 orbs ready to go for it. We had a bit of trouble keeping up with healing at the 3rd gate of Horridon, so I'd use it there and then on phase 2. The same goes for Iron Qon. I typically use it after exiting Windstorm and also in phase 2. On farm content, healers seem to want me to stop nibbling on their slices of the healing pie, though. Void Shift is very underrated by many priests that I've seen. I can't say I get raid-saving shifts in on every fight, but am conscious of it and try to be pretty "handy" with my ghetto lay on hands. I've used Life Grip recently to save a few people that seem to have major issues with their computer during Lei Shen. It's no good to DC or freeze up when Thunderstruck is going out right next to them, but a quick grip buys them some time to log back in. It's hardly game changing, but I even remember way back during Bastion of Twilight's trash on the way to Valiona, those adds that blow up and knock people down into the abyss. I was able to catch a few tanks there! Fear Ward was a nice back up on Tsulong, just in case a healer got feared. I also tended to use it on Vizier to at least slightly mitigate fears during convert. Class Flexibility is what drew me to switch to this class to begin with. I've played every healer class in a raiding environment except a monk (who is 90 but hasn't been played in months), and priest healing is my favorite. I did HM Shek'zeer in 10-man, and we needed to 4 heal it. I was happy to go Disc for the fight, which seemed to help get us the kill! As for my current guild, the stability is very much opposite of South of Heaven. It was supposed to be a 9 hour raid week, but I don't think it's been less than 18 for the past 2 months. It's frustrating to log on shortly before raid time and find that they've already killed a boss or two because enough people were on to start an hour early, so they did. It's even more frustrating when the GM/RL adds extra raid days on a whim week by week or extends the raid an hour late for no real reason. I'm actually totally in favor of staying a bit late if we're wiping at 5% or something, but "let's just get one more boss down tonight. I get to sleep in tomorrow" when all that's left is farm cleanup and we have another raid night left in the week isn't a good reason for me. There are some other issues as you may suspect from such erratic leadership, but I think that demonstrates the overall atmosphere that I'm not enjoying. I always thought that Geeks were more awkward and weird, while nerds were more intensely focused on.. nerdy things, like reading text books or taking screenshots of ranks. How do you distinguish the two? Maybe I'm neither and a dork instead?! Thank you for your responses!

Thank you! I appreciate it.
