RGT: Raiding & MoP - Important

[TeaLeaf]

With the Mists of Pandaria expansion due later this year the DMR Council wanted to outline some initial plans for RGT raiding in MoP and to find out from RGT members what their own plans are for raiding in MoP.

Can all RGT members please post in this thread if they intend to:

• raid with DMR in MoP
• re-roll their main and change class in MoP
• stop raiding

The intention is for RGT to start raiding as soon as possible into the expansion and progress quickly into Heroic raiding to build on our Cataclysm success.
 
PLEASE NOTE: For obvious reasons, if you intend to re-roll and change your main's class there is no guarantee that there will be a spot available in RGT for your new main.  Therefore, it is important that if you intend to re-roll that you let us know as soon as possible & re-apply to us for a raid spot with RGT.   Raid spots in RGT will be confirmed nearer the time.

I plan on raiding with DMR in MoP. I'll be sticking with my Pally and tanking

[TeaLeaf]

I'm intending to raid with DMR in MoP; shadow priest with a healing off-spec.

[JonnyAppleSeed]

Ill looking at raiding in Mop Druid healz... with kitty offspec

[Jesung]

I will still be raiding and still as my Lock.

[hubbah]

Ill keep raiding with DMR if youll still have me and ill keep raiding on my hunter :-) ( dps main spec / dps off spec )

[Switchback]

oh really

[Milli]

I'll still be with you guys - still on the Mage unless something else is needed.

No change here either with regards to intentions/class, but I do have to add that I'm not sure how fast I will reach 90. I'm going to assume I'll have a job by the time MoP comes out, so I'll only be able to play in the evenings/weekends. No idea what other activities I might pick up on and how social life is going to develop. As I posted in the absence thread, my intention is RL > WoW at all times. That means that if I can do something with friends or the likes I won't hesitate to put it over WoW. But that's been the case the past year. Just that now that I'll have a lot less free time that may impact my WoW time, is all.

Otherwise: Raiding with DMR, on Torgen, main: DPS (Arms or Fury, whichever'll be better at 90) Off: Tank.

Ill be sticking on my shammy aswell, just like today. Resto main. Ele off.

[microid]

only chars which i would raid whit either my shammy (ele/resto) or my frost DK. i will keep raiding in MOP.
i would like to suggest to ad 1 more hour to raiding because of the larger amount of bosses and lesser time whit them.

Cant believe im saying this twice in 2 days

For a few people it is not possible to extend raiding days due to RL commitments.
Just in my example: I get home around 19:00 / 19:30 when im not working late on a theusday / thursday. Then i log on to get in the raid for the DKP and go make dinner to make sure i ate before the raid.
I do a few daily's after raid usually so i mostly log around 30 min after raid because i have to get out of bed at 6:30.

On sundays i always have dinner at my mom's because thats the only day in the in the week im home earlier then 19:00 ( she always eats early ) and im not in the pub ( read saturday ).
And seeing i got work on Monday again id like to be in bed around 00:00 and be able to do my daily's ( arena ) after raid as well.

So even tho you would not have a problem raiding another hour other people might have :-)

[microid]

it also seems like hubbah = rgt

[Arcticfire]

Hes not, but his points can be stretched over multiple raiders.

[Azunai]

Have to take into account that a good number of (RGT) raiders are UK, so they start the raid at 7 PM, rather than the 8 PM server time that we do. They're also working men with families and the obligations that come with that, probably stretching them enough as is ;-) Regardless, I've not seen any evidence that we need that extra hour. We've been progressing at a great pace with the time we invest so why bother?
