Still looking for 10 people.  A healer, couple of hunters, couple of tanks, and some more DPS.

Signed Up. Didnt notice the time, but was going to sign up if it was an evening anyway. Daytime is always better for me.

I can guarantee if I move it someone else won't be able to make it, the start time is the start time unless you personally get written confirmation from all 19 people that they are happy to bring it forward an hour.

We also need more bodies still.

Despite it going against my normal rules as we only need a couple of DPS we'll try and pick those up before the run, I suspect it won't be an issue.

I can do the time but only just. Signed on the grounds that if you haven't got the required amount by start time I'll sack it off and get on with the tea.

Aye, I'll be looking for DPS before invite time to avoid going past the planned start.

We managed the clear in about 80 minutes so a reasonable run.  Stats are here, those of a non competitive nature look away now.

Bah, By the looks of it, that was from all the run wasnt it? Meh... Stupid shatter killing me and being afk going bio and getting drinks for the trash between HKM and Gruul.

Enough of me being mad at myself for not hitting stuff as hard/often as i would have liked.

Good run overall and well done everyone.

EDIT: Bah, Just noticed i was only viewing "Full Stats"... Could change to see different fights it seems, never seen that before! Anywho... Me dying on the final Gruul attempt was bad, But atleast i didnt die from a hurtful strike this time, but from a shatter instead, seems im getting better. Thanks for the combat rezz btw, Daff. Anyway... Im pleased with my HKM performance although my DPS wasnt what it usually is as i have to throw in kicks/run around to moving bosses and switching bosses/getting feared, etc.

Not at all a bad run. In all honesty, it went better then I anticipated. I'd just like to emphasise the following considering ground slams and all that jive. Rogues: Cloak of Shadows only removes the slowing effect. You are however, still affected by shatter. Same goes for those around you. CoS allows you to get rid of the movement handicap, so please use this to your advantage and  that of the raid.

Ok, now I'm not running into a heroic...

Looking at the Gruul fight I'd really rather more people were breaking 500DPS.  I'm not wanting the moon on a stick, just a bit more DPS.  Blindeye got off no less than 5 heals on the Maulgar fight, with three rogues and a warrior tank that can't all be down to lack of interrupts.

The coordination was pretty good, it's the actual DPS that I want to work on improving.  Having overgeared healers and tanks (God bless Skul!) is all that's saving us at the moment.

Those heals were most certainly down to slow dps, it was frustrating to try and push the numbers only to see his health go up multiple times.

We did well and for the most part it was nice and smooth but we definately shouldn't get complacent just because we can drop Gruul without a big fuss. To go further we need to up our game and every one of us has to bring a certain level of performance to the table.

May i strongly suggest that all ranged dps take the time to visit Dr Boom at Area 52 to spend some time doing the numbers and taking a serious look at how to raise your game. If you're not sure what Dr Boom is about don't hesitate to ask myself, Daff or any of the officers and we'll be glad to show you who what and where.
