I have no immediate plans, but if enough people want to start, post your favorite days and time ranges, and I'll organize the raids.

In the last expansion, the last raids were on thursday and monday, 20:30 to 23:00 server time.

Any days bar Wednesdays works for me. Can shuffle stuff to suit the raid schedule any other day

If people were up for it and we have the classes for it I guess it couldn't hurt to try it this week sometime before reset, would let us know what kind of difficulty level to expect and what gear we need etc.

Even if we can only handle the first boss, it would still positive step for the guild.

I've heard they are all cake apart from the last 2 bosses.

If we can get the interest why not?

But, I'd avoid any pugs.

It might be a better idea to stick it on the raid planner for Sunday/Monday or something, to give folks a chance to see it and be there, to avoid any annoyance from people missing out and maybe run some heroic groups tonight to gear people up in preparation for it instead?

Hello all.

Dont try to make some kind of raid without geared people. I know that gear is not everything but in this case it helps alot. Its fun to try the fight but 1 boss hits like a truck.

We don't seem to have enough interested people anyway. Fear those that really really want to raid will not have the patience to wait for a possibly uncertain future :(

I wouldn't necessarily perceive a lack of interest on the forums with a disinterest in raiding.

I'm not sure many people even check on here.

But I'd defiantly think about putting something on the raid planner for some date in the future, when people have the gear, and get the ball rolling and then see where we stand?

Yes. But we need at least some tanks/healers as well. If we can't even do heroics without pugging, then we lack people.

... And blizzard still COMPLETELY FAILED to give mages a healing/tank spec. Lame!

I would join the raid. Still lvl the gear. Perhaps we can start with thursday and see how far we get and discuss in the raid group how to continue.

I'll put up a raid on the planer for this thursday then. We'll probably need more tanks/healers/dps than we can muster, but for gauging interest it's probably perfect.
