Raid week beginning 8/6

[TeaLeaf]

I was thinking about his some overnight.

In terms of 'ease' of heroic encounter, the likely order of bosses for us breaks down into three main 'levels of difficulty'.  

Easiest
Maloriak/Magmaw

Hard
V&T
Omnitron
Conclave

Real hard
Ascendant Council
Nefarian
Cho'gall
Al'ikir
Sinestra

There appears to be little no difference between Maloriak/Magmaw in terms of difficulty, they are marginally harder than the heroic Chim/Atra encounters but at the same general level of difficulty and I think we're capable of both.

Having reviewed the fights, I am thinking that our plan this coming week should be:

Thurs:  Hc Half and then clear rest of BOT - gives us 2 token upgrades

Then go to BWD and do:

Omni
Heroic Magmaw (see how time goes but munch some hours on it)
Heroic Chim
Heroic Atra
Heroic Maloriak (learning time)
Nefarian

I'd be happy to not go to Conclave at all this reset and to focus on Bot/BWD which is where our boss progression is.

I think we have a legitimate chance to get 2 new heroic kills this week with that approach.  Atra is dead for sure, but I suspect Magmaw might be a nicer fight to challenge the raid with initially than Maloriak.  The other worry is that of we kill Magmaw on Normal that we then also kill Hc Atra and Hc Maloriak and then run out of work to do during the week.

This assumes we get everyone turning up and an ideal setup, but if we do then I think it gives us the best time to do what we need to do.

I could of course be trying to cram too much into the week, in which case we kill Magmaw on normal and just focus on HC Atra & HC Maloriak.

Thoughts?

We only have 1 main tank available on Sunday (me) so I think your plan is  good.. Thursday clear BoT and omnitron then spend whats left of the night on Heroic Magmaw.  On Sunday we can go back and kill Magmaw and then kill Heroic Atramedes.  If we have spare time at the end of the night we could always go and tickle Throne on normal with Grim tanking on Conclave.
That would leave us Heroic Chim, some time on Heroic Maloriak and Normal Nef on Tuesday when we have 3 main tanks available.

Sounds a lot but it will give us a look at what we have ahead of us and we can always kill Magmaw/Maloriak on Normal if we run out of time.

That's my thoughts :-D

sounds good to me

Will be on late tonight.  Grand Prix watching, so I'll move to the PC at as close to 19:15 as I dare and then watch/listen via iPlayer.   Can;t recall what we're doing first off, think it was Magaw, but hoping it is not too difficult so I can listen with some focus on the Grand Prix finish!
