Thank you for the post Arsinaca, appreciate the words.  I don't think I'm going to change the thoughts on the 900K dps though at this time until we see.  Our last heroic we had 8 of the 10 dps pulling over 1.0 Million DPS, and my lock that has only been 910+ for a short period of time can already pull 700-800K dps, so I feel the 900K is an acceptable ask for new content if we are to succeed in there.  


We can revisit after we get rolling.  It may be overkill!


Thanks again for the response!  It is appreciated.

Ok, I apologize for not being at the meeting. Work wanted me to stay late, emergency vet walk in. Here is my input on the subject.


 


New Raid.- I agree with the gear score, (sadly having to admit to it. Always been an underdog) but however the 900dps might be pushing it. Reason being is that like every patch, not all DPS is capable of pulling the numbers even with 925+ gs. This is because of balancing issues on Blizzards end. I.E. Ele shammies pulling more dps than enhance. Forcing people to play a "cookie cutter" spec. Kind of ruins the game a bit. So honestly I'd say at that point, look at the player. If said player following game mechanics, if he/she staying alive during the fights, CC the mobs (Whenever that comes...if ever) etc, etc, etc. While pulling 1mil dps is awesome, its not awesome when your dead halfway through the fight because you thought fire gives haste.


Start and stop times- no issues here on this. Times are fine.


Group Makeup- MOAR DEEPS! MOAR DOTS, MOAR DOTS! Think we got tanks and healers covered considering I'm capable of covering both with my monk. Make Sylvia main tank (YES IT PAINS ME TO ADMIT). However I must point out. Leadership roles from the specs. With Sylvia as main tank, Ladie covers healers and either Syntt, Khyrss, or Lorvin cover dps. This way if someone isnt pulling the weight. It doesn't fall on Ladie to handle alone. You have officers Ladie, use them! Reason I bring this up is because I noticed people not pulling their dps/heals/tank (covering all 3 to not point fingers at any single individual) I understand we are not a hardcore raiding, and we all want to have fun. We all want to see the guild succeed and that takes a bit of hardcore raiding mentality to make it work.


Gems/enchants/food/flask- I can agree with Ladie. Ladie puts in the time to make sure that we have something in the gbank for everyone. I believe everyone should contribute in some way to make sure supplies are stocked. So I would ask people to donate food, or herbs for those feasts and cauldrons. All you gotta do is drop them off in a the guild bank. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! REPLACE YOUR CRAPPY BLUE 150 GEMS..I have a JC who can make epic gems..send Liandriana or Ladie the mats (ore from Argus) and I can make you the gems! Granted...we cant make 200 str, agi, stam or int gems. Bliz has deemed your only suppose to get one of those.


Feedback- So far, as a lay back guild as we are, I'm rather impressed to how far we have gotten. Not gonna always say negative things! Ive come from hardcore raiding. I hated that the fact it felt like a job. Ladie doesn't punish anyone for not showing up. Simply communication fixes it. But if you show up. Be ready to go. Cause if Slyvia and I are tanking...Damn well be ready at the right time...WE will pull on time!

Thanks to all who was able to attend the Guild/Raid meeting. Just wanted to post the notes for reference to all that missed.  Please pass around this information as you are able.  


New Raid content releasing in three weeks - consensus for gear level:  I asked for a general consensus for gear/dps levels as we enter new raid content shortly. With the awareness that "not a good gear score does a great player make", and vice versa - the soft line expectation moving forward is going to be a 925 item level and 900K consistent dps minimum.  Tanks will be held to that number.  Heals will as well until meters can be reviewed.  If anyone joining our group doesn't meet those expectations, we will gladly refer them to our Friday night ALT run, and assist them with their toon.  There are enough of us with geared/well performing toons that can offer help to anyone in need.  Those numbers will become more hard lined after we are in there and see what is in store for us, and I will ensure we are bringing folks into the mix that meet our requirements. 


 Start times / Finish Times: Our start time is 8pm Eastern Standard Time.  That means, we are pulling trash at 8pm.  Please ensure you are logged in and ready for invites and summons by 7:50-7:55 at the absolute latest.  If you are not in party and ready to pull by 8pm you will lose your spot for the night.  If you have not advised me you are going to be late - the assumption is you are not coming and at 7:15 I am working to fill your spot off "the list".  


My commitment to you is that I will be logging on between 7:15 to 7:30 to begin filling our raid based on who I know is coming.  I will fill to a 2-5-14/16 ratio.    


 I would like to extend our raid time to Midnight eastern time so we can progress further through the content.  If you are unable to stay past that time, I need to know before hand so I can plan on substituting for you.  There are currently 4 team members that I am creating subs for at approximately 11pm - KJ, Anna, Assanna and Dreadie due to family commitments.  Please let me know conflicts before 8pm (an hour before raid would be ideal) so I can get folks to cover for you, or so I can just bulk up in the beginning so it won't hurt us when you leave!


 Group make up (current and goals): It is clear we need more dps.  I am going to work actively at the beginning of the raid earlier to provide us with 14-16 dps at the start of the raid.  You are welcome to bring friends that you have as long as they are geared at 925 and can sustain 900K dps.


Gems/Enchants/Food/Flasks:  I will continue to stress this at every guild meeting.  Come prepared with your own food and flasks.  Caldrons and feasts will be provided when they are available, as a courtesy for running - however they are never guaranteed.  


Also, if your character is not gemmed and enchanted, you will not be allowed to take that toon. We have WAY too many folks that can assist with this, and the time to do so is not a 8pm standing in front of the first boss.  Please let me know if you need help with this.  The guild sponsors support with this for guild raiders. All the enchanters ask is that you provide mats.  The guild will sponsor obtaining mats or enchants we already have in one of the overflow banks.  


Feedback from team, general discussion: Darrayn wanted to point out that we need to do a better job of "break recovery" in between pulls.  And we absolutely do.  Die, get up, get back, get fed, and get ready.  Pull again, and we win. We all want to have fun, but let's celebrate the wins, and less down time during the in deaths.  The fights are so long to begin with, we want to be proactive in between the fights so we can have enough time to progress.  We will have 5 min break times about every hour, so keep that in mind.  If we start pulling at 8, you can expect the first break at 9, and then at 10, etc.  


 That's about it, if I missed anything or if you would like to add anything please reply with a post.


Thanks so much, and see you in game!


Ladie
