Raid: !!11
Ok so TY to garreth for getting me pointed in the right direction. I wanted to get our raid going again even though Torvo has left as raid leader. I will be leading us through from now on. I haven't led a raid since june or july and so I want to start back slow. Thus if VOA is up we will start there. From there we will make a decision of whether to try Ony or go straight to Ulduar. There will be a few changes. We will be starting at 11am instead of 10 server like we have in the past. We also will be stopping after 4 hours or so. The goal is to get as far as we get and then we will either continue sunday night or we will extend the raid lockout for another week.
A little about the raid for those that dont know. We are a group of mellow raiders. Most of us this is the only time we get to raid during the week and try and make the most of it. We used to be the "try out" for alot of the guild apps that are now regulars. We will post feedback and usually parses as well. Gear will be roll (main spec first),
If you are interested in raiding with us post here and let me know what toon you would like to bring (name and spec please) that way I can see ahead of time what our needs are. My goal is to get us into CC within a few weeks but it will be based on how we are looking in ulduar.
Should we reserve a park for the meetup this year?

Click the F#%^@ing Lightwell
Maltoheals — Tue, 05/03/2011 - 12:59
Let me first begin by saying "I have been looking over the parses for quite some time"
Lightwell Usage in our 25 man is a Complete "Zero" in a 8 min fight on Cho'gal we had 3 clicks on it total....
Ummmmmm Not ok.... So let me Educate you on some Specifics of lightwell usage.....
From MMO-Champion
– there seems to be some concern regarding the Lightwell mechanic. So
in the interest of educating myself and the one or two others who might
be reading this, here’s some info.
- It is the highest heal-per-mana (hpm) spell for priests.
- You can click it from up to 20 yards away.
- Clicking it will not change your target and does not trigger the global cooldown.
- It heals for more per tick than Renew.
- It can be used while stunned, disoriented, sapped, blinded or casting.
WoWhead’s description:
- Lightwell
- 30% of base mana
- 40 yd range
- 0.5 sec cast
- 3 min cooldown
- Creates a Holy Lightwell. Friendly players can click the Lightwell
to restore (((2878 + ($SP * .308)) * 3) * 1.25) health over 6 sec.
Attacks done to you equal to 30% of your total health will cancel the
effect. Lightwell lasts for 3 min or 10 charges. - You can click it from up to 20 yards away.
From a comment on that page:
This spell is way more powerful then you all think. This spell can be used while
- Tanking
- Kiting
- Blinded
- Stunned
- Disoriented
- Sapped
- Casting another heal or spell
- You can click it from up to 20 yards away.
You don’t even need to un-click your current target. Lets compare with a more favored heal over time, Such as Renew.
Lightwell costs 30% of base mana, and does 10charges or “casts”.
So really its 3% of your base mana for every charge.
(the following is at 290 spell power)
Each charge heals 10,000 over 6seconds.
As for renew its 6,124 over 12seconds and costing 18% more mana per cast (compared to each charge)
You can literally be in two places at once, having your light well
positioned properly. Heal ranged dps, or yourself while your to busy
focusing on people who are dieing rather then injured. The ticks also
tick faster [down from over 6seconds] with your haste. All you have to
do is, Click.. and we will be well on our way to appreciating this
spell.
Let me help you even more......
Here is a two part macro for using the lightwell and you don't even have you move your face from Cho'gals ass
I would suggest using the following link as it explains setting up a "No Click" lightwell macro
http://harpysnest.wordpress.com/2010/10/17/lightwell-and-loving-it/
So in closing I will make a deal with you - I will keep that sucker down and on cooldown but please don't make me regret even having the talent point
Should we design a t-shirt for people to buy for the meetup?

Hey I know many of you have seen this but had to post for those that have not
Raid Groups --- 10 and 25 mans can coexist........
Maltoheals — Wed, 12/22/2010 - 11:31
Last night Cele brought up a very good point in our 25 man raid that I feel deserves discussion....
Can our 25 man and 10 man raids coexist with current lock out system.... Yes!!!!
I think if we know ahead of time what a certain group is working on for example the 25 man is working on Blackrock then the same individual in the 25 man can run with a 10 man locked to another raid instance......
I feel actually this could become very effective for those that have time to get exposure to the other raids before your main raid group encounters the instance.... Plus it can put to rest the "I want to run in that group but am already saved to another one" ......
It will take coordination from those leading the raids to schedule ahead of time their destination but will free up both fillin's and allow the last few spots of some more casual raid groups ......
