RGT Raid Team for MoP

[TeaLeaf]

As has been well publicised on these forums, the DMR Council has been working hard behind the scenes trying to prepare both RGT & RGW for successful MoP raiding when the expansion launches in September.   We've also been trying to work out how minimise some of the tier token class balance problems we have seen and the amount of raid-queue time some roles have had to endure (notably for healers in RGT).

We're delighted to say that we're reaching the end of these preparations and can announce the following:

RGT:
RGT will be entering MoP with a smaller group than we had in Cataclysm and with a very much improved tier token balance.  

Tanks:
Whytee - prot paladin
Halbarad - prot paladin

Healers:
Jas - resto druid
Slush - resto shaman
Puja - resto shaman
Ayla - mistweaver monk

Melee DPS:
Jinx - Death Knight
Guru - arms warrior

Ranged DPS:
Teaell - shadow priest
Midd - mage
Jesung - warlock
Hubbah - hunter
Mílly - boomkin

This means the tier token groups will have very equal numbers: Protector(5), Conqueror(4), Vanquisher(4).  This much improved balance should help us no end in MoP by increasing the average gear-up rate for each member and this in turn can only improve our chances of good raid progress.  We'd like to thank both Incendia (Milly) and Ayla for accepting re-roll challenges in MoP that will help us achieve this balance.

It is with regret that not all current RGT members will have a raid spot in MoP.    Notably the healer camp has had to be reduced in size to accommodate both an improved tier token balance and reduced 'out of instance' time.   In particular we would like to single out & give special thanks to Amberleigh who has agreed to join RGW to allow RGT to achieve the raid size reduction and tier token group balance improvements.   Amber's significant raid experience with RGT will be a welcome addition to RGW and will provide increased strength and stability for what we hope will be an even stronger RGW raid group in MoP.  RGW have typically raided without a priest so it will make a nice change to have full priest buffs and raidwalls!  We'd also like to thank Tessy who is retiring from raiding at the end of Cataclysm due to RL time constraints.

RGT is now officially 'Ready for MoP Raiding' and we can't wait for the expansion to go Live.

Similar work is underway for DMR's RGW raid group and more information will follow shortly once we have spoken to the people concerned and finalised plans.   Watch this space!

Holy sh*t! im in! ready to kick some ass

*High Five* I agree with your statement

Also, thanks you Amber for allowing us to reduce the raid size, you will be a great addition to RGW!

Gonna miss you and Tessy

Yeeeeha! :yahoo:

I'm in!

well, I might just joined dMr recently but actually I like raiding with you guys.. great team and fun along with dedication and progress.

Just a quick note about Guru in MoP: I might switch to Fury later on.. we will see.

Last but not least: I'd like to thank dMr officers (Jas, TL, Whitey and Hal) for making this solid progress.

Also I'd like to thank every member in dMr for making this awesome community.

Guru.

looking forward very much to MoP and seeing the new content with you all and *does a little dance* yay im also in

[Tirkad]

As I've already said to the raid leaders, i'm afraid i won't be able to meet the attendance requirement for mists. I will keep on raiding with DMR until the last cata raid (11th of sept), then i'll just be a social friendly guy cheering from the tribune. :yahoo:

With Tirk stepping down we've recruited a legendary-whirling rogue called KÄ«netiskais to join RGT's melee camp for MoP.   He's known to Slush who does Arena with him and he'll be joining us for our next raid.

OP updated to reflect Kin's stepping down from RGT, Maldaror's need to attend to higher priority RL issues and to welcome our two new RGT members Midd & Jinx.    RGT is once again full.
