I have a vent server for just that reason, I think mine is like $25 a year or something. I do prefer Mumble though and will probably switch. My advice is to find a host where you can do clanpay so all the raiders can help pay for it.

I admit I am bad at H&F in BRF. Out of all the fights that is my worst, when it should be the easiest. I like every other fight except that one. I decided to try standing next to Mike (Zalere) since he seems to do it fine, but once a belt moved me and I lost him then I got all disoriented...

I switched my tank spec to Ret and I can do about 20k-ish on a dummy with a 630 weapon and low trinkets. I'll practice it in LFR this week, so if we have too many healers I'll just try to dps! Honestly though if you guys are going hardcore progression like those other guys did who then left...

We tried Kromog LFR for the first time last night. The tanks did not have experience on the fight, and the first attempt was a mess but we still got to about 50%. The second attempt was cleaner and we got to 15%, however a warlock took forever to die both wipes. Then the same warlock kept...

Of course. Mike and I spent the first month or two of WoD just soloing old raids for achievements because we couldn't spend large chunks of uninterrupted time in-game. We actually still need: Only the Penitent... - Achievement - World of Warcraft(need at least 6 people) and Schools Out...

After doing a lot of reading and looking at other Holy Paladin logs, I switched from Sacred Shield to Eternal Flame earlier this week and I liked the results in an LFR run, looking forward to normal HM/BRF.

The free level 25 pet is great. I used it on my level 2 Anubsiath Idol and he took my level 18 pets to 21 in about an hour doing the menagerie unlock quest and pet battles near my garrison. The pet battle daily in the garrison seems like it needs all level 25 pets though, tried it with a 25...

We've done Highmaul LFR twice (7/7 both times). Normal Highmaul twice, first 6/7 and second 5/7. Normal BRF only once where we went 7/10. Got a heroic Highmaul mission right after the normal BRF.

As I mentioned last night my tank set is like 647 but I've only tanked dungeons, zero raid tanking experience. I'm willing to learn in the Friday Highmaul runs but I felt there was a bit of angst about new tanks on those days.I can try tanking in LFR, although I really dislike learning new...

Thank you so much for organizing this.We're having a great time.

"Praise in public, scold in private" is a solid management guideline.I like to include as many solid facts/metrics to be as objective as possible when trying to improve performance.

I'm not disagreeing that a 5th percentile person should get dropped as a liability. I even completely agree with your points about how a very low performer can bring down the morale of a group. I work in a seniority based culture right now and we could easily do away with about 1/3 of the...

None of my paying jobs in my 16 year career have ever treated someone like this, let alone any of my many volunteer positions. Keep in mind this is a game people are voluntarily playing and can quit with no repercussions at any time. That kind of attitude might work for the most elite guilds...

Just want to say this publicly: Thank you SO much to Poid and Irksome for getting us through Heroic Everbloom and Auchindon tonight after Highmaul.I'm sure many desks were flipped but thanks for keeping cool and staying up late for us noobs. Getting close to 650!

My Holy Paladin feels clunky and I am almost always behind the Disc Priest/Resto Druid. Looking forward to this week's Friday normal to see if I do any better, but if any Paladin healers have some advice I'm all ears. I don't have the Rerolled logs link at work to post, and honestly that was...

Regarding the discussion on pug raiding, I think it's fine but the one thing that pug groups do not seem to do well is keep people grouping with each other consistently and therefore forming the cohesiveness necessary to down tough content in a consistent manner. For example while we were...

On Fridays Mike and I can both heal, or I can tank and he can heal a normal HM. We have both lead raids in WoW/Rift in the past but just want to put this out there, we have never been in Highmaul yet!We will read/watch videos of course to get a general understanding. I'll also make sure to get...

We can both heal, no problem. I healed for years on a Priest. Just did my bronze/silver proving grounds last night but I still feel a little uneasy with Paladin healing, will keep practicing. We'll also try LFR. If some folks in the guild can give us a hand with the 3 heroics needed for...

If you guys ever go back to Highmaul normal with alts we'll both heal or I can tank and hubby can heal on Saturdays, whatever is needed. We're too low ilevel for BRF (like 630-ish). I really am not looking forward to pugging to catch up, so we'll just hang out in the meantime. Or if some...

Maybe it was just my experience, but I felt like in vanilla WoW your guild mattered more. I don't recall any of our members ever running MC, BWL, AQ40, or Naxx with other guilds/pugs unless they intended to leave which was uncommon, even when we were struggling with Huhuran. In modern WoW it...

That and combine the good/evil side mirror classes into one class.

Vanilla WoW = we raided 6 days a week for about a year, burned out and quit TBC = started very late into the expansion, did a half-hearted attempt to raid and quit multiple times WOTLK = started late again, cleared Naxx, most of Ulduar, all of ICC on 10/25, quit soon after Cataclysm/Panda =...

We are quiet in guild since we don't raid but if folks want to do achievements on old content and need a hand, need help with invasions, or need a tank/healer for normal/heroic WOD dungeons feel free to let me know. My battle net id is Elsebet#1739 and my character in RR is Else. I only ask...

I just checked my account and it had my old Ohio address. If they did send one to me, the guy who owns my old house now has it.

Where do you work? Costco Wholesale What do you do? (Title/keywords) I'm in IT. I'll be honest this is the most unorganized, inefficient, and wasteful IT shop I've ever been in, and after 2 months on this team I'm still not sure what I am supposed to be doing and neither is my...

In my experience vanilla WoW had more social challenges for raiders. I don't really remember too many people getting kicked out of our 5 nights a week raiding guild for not performing well in their role/class, but they did get kicked if they were terrible AND an insufferable clod. One of my...

You're not alone! Mike and I have the same philosophy. We raided on a Warrior/Priest tanking (him) and healing (me) from vanilla to WOTLK. Never played other classes or did achievements, just dailies then raid raid raid (or farm gear/consumables for raids) until we burned out and quit...

So happy to see a gardening thread here. I have an 1100 sq. ft. plot in my backyard that is new this year, so our first work in it will be spring of 2015. It is currently packed with 13 cubic yards of aged horse manure. I'm new to Pacific Northwest gardening, so if there are any other PNW...

Mike and I moved from Ohio to Washington in October of 2013 and initially rented. We were aware of the housing price difference but it was still a bit shocking when we started looking in the spring of 2014. We got lucky and bought a cheap fixer-upper with 2.5 acres in June 2014 on the...

Not that we're even of level/gear to raid yet, but Mike and I are PST. We actually prefer to play EST times since we both start work very early in the morning and go to bed around 10pm. Raiding with a guild that runs in the 8-12 EST times is perfect for us. By the way we haven't played...

Not after Adblock swept her right up.

I definitely am all for no-drop items being allowed to be traded to other characters on the same account. Obviously, the other character would have to meet all wear requirements (faction, rank, level, etc) to be able to use said items. Think of how nice it would be to have your raiding core with...
