DMR & Cataclysm - The Plan

[Whitey]

DMR's Raiding Goals
DMR aims to be one of the top social raiding guilds in Cataclysm.  DMR  started late with TOC and ICC and were always playing catch up, but we'd  like to see us move our raiding to current content.

Human Progress
DMR want to be one of the first non-hard core guilds to down new content  whilst maintaining our more relaxed 3 day per week, 3 hours per night  raid schedule.  We want to keep our raid groups friendly, enjoyable but  also successful.  

Date of DMR's First Cataclysm Raid
Cataclysm launches on 7th December and with our raid aims in mind we are setting the goal of achieving our first Cataclysm DKP-earning 10 man raid on Wednesday 22nd December.   We will need sufficient numbers of members to be at L85 in order to  run this raid and would like to hear from people who will be levelling  hard and ready for action.  If we get 10 people ready before that date  we will start raiding earlier but no DKP will be used prior to 22nd  December.

Raid Content - 10 or 25 person
Initially DMR will aim to fill 2 successful 10 man raid groups with the  intention to be able to expand into 25 man raiding soon after.  We will  recruit hard to fill open spots but a lot of our ability to do this will  depend on people reaching L85 quickly and gaining raid experience as  soon as possible in the new instances.  Early raid success will lead to  more recruitment - more recruitment leads to more raid success and the  circle continues.  It relies on YOU the members to make this success happen.

Levelling
We would urge people to join Teamspeak during their levelling and group  up.  Groups level faster than inidividuals and you get to run new 5 man  instance content along the way.  But let's not leave anyone behind,  let's vary the groups and include everyone.

Change
DMR are currently ranked 32nd on Aszune for raid progress and we plan to  improve this rank significantly in Cataclysm.  The DMR Council call  upon ALL members to support us in achieving this goal in whatever way  possible.  Please let Council members know if you want to be a part of  this success.

Ive taken a week off from 6 of december for some real hard leveling. Daedalus will join me for that week so i can just about garantee we will hit L85 within that week. We will join TS during the lvling.
 
class and roles of daedalus and me:
 

Death Knight: Zyrtek - Tank - Melee DPS
Palladin : Daedalus - Healer - Melee DPS

Ive preordered a copy and might do the same as gijs, dunno yet.
But ill be leveling my hunter first.

[lunares]

My copy has been preordered some time ago and i have planned 1-2 weeks off starting from the 6th of december.
I will be leveling my priest as a healer (disc/holy)

Lunares

[Jewelz^]

I will be going to the shops on the 7th and leveling Lynx and Disc/shad as per usual

[Tirkad]

GOGO DMR!!! :yahoo:

[Legolei]

Cataclysm is in the pre-order already, but I have no idea at the amount of time I can spent on leveling the first week.
I'm going to level my leatherworking too, since it has very nice armor for hunters.

[Vanguish]

I'm gonna have Cata from the start to, only i can't get free from the 7th december. But i have the last week in december free and i hope i'll be 85 then. My main will still be my warlock. He is the first to lvl to 85

Ladies and Gents,
 
I am with Gijs... and like the release of WotlK we leveled within the week. Now the advantage of hard leveling is that you have mostly skilled players when you are going to do dungeons... the loot obtained from those dungeons (and on heroic) are very welcome to start your first 10 men raid. If there are enough people leveled to 85 the 10 men raids will give loot for good gear up. This is good for progression thus for the guild and it's recruitement status....
 
Enough sleep.. dedication and not much alcohol will get me through the first week.....

[dokken]

I've got some time off during first two weeks of December and plan to be 85 in time to raid. Will be good to be back.

[dokken]

I have 2 weeks off start December and plan to be 85 in time for the raid start. Will be good to be involved again, have missed it. The TS3 is a good idea and Ill be on that. Go DMR!

[Padding]

I will level as fast as i can, and should be there to play the raids whenever the character is ready. I dont plan on any time off, so it might take a bit of time

[Knabbel]

You never let us down.. so I am pretty convinced you'll be there in time.
 
Meanwhile you might wanna check my profile I put in the Pally Healing thread. I want to know what yours is and how we can maximize our healing output. Specialy the healing rotation. I noticed after 1 holy shock I get 1 World of Glory and a very fast holy light cast....
 
Daedalus.

[Padding]

To be honest here.... im gonna stay a bit more on a break and ninja all your advice when i come back. I'll be looking into Hjalle (postal) and Goldhammer/Stygius (Eluo) also. That should cover how to do things

Good idea.

I'll be back in Dec as i've pre-ordered WoW.
I'm almost possitive that I won't start raiding reguraly or at all really.
I'f I can help with enchants or mats then sure I will, just ask, or post a request.

(edit: oops, I was logged in as Ninja, hadn't noticed, its me Luminance)
