UPDATE 2/22: FIRST PULL SHAHRAZ CHECK LIST, SIGN UP NOW: http://downfallguild.org/node/795

Like Princess Huhuran, and Ragnaros before her, the Downfall raids have a big gear check ahead of them in Mother Shahraz. Currently, Raid: Hamfist is knocking on her doorstep, and all we need are raw materials to make this happen. Every single raider that faces Shahraz will need 295 Shadow resist unbuffed. That's a lot. But have no fear, our eggheads have been doing some math. (Click the title to read more!)

Saedo made some calculations and determined a quick and dirty way to hit our base shadow resist as efficiently as possible.

It looks something like this:

• Crafted Wrists - 40 SR
• Crafted Belt - 54 SR
• Crafted Boots + [Shadow Armor Kit] - 62 SR
• [Medallion of Karabor] - 40 SR
• [Night's End] + 15SR Enchant - 55 SR
• [Old Decent Head Piece With A Gem Slot] + [Void Sphere] + [Glyph of Shadow Warding] - 24 SR
• [Old Decent Tier 4 Chest Piece] + 3 [Void Sphere] + [Shadow Armor Kit] - 20 SR

What does this mean for all of us?

Well, this means that we need as much help as possible from the guild in farming up a few key materials. A detailed breakdown of all the materials and requirements can be found here: http://downfallguild.org/ShadowResistGear
We are in dire need of

• [Primal Life]
• [Primal Shadow]

Please donate as many of these two items as possible to the guild bank, send them to Garreth or hand them off to a raid officer. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. A raid does succeed in and of itself alone. Rather it is the effort and determination of the entire guild at its back.
