Monday: Ulduar training runs!!

[Toreau]

To try and get more people experienced on the ulduar bosses, and to get our new members geared and ready for heroic mode, we have are going to try something new. Every week the "main" raid group will let some bosses live and head on to the final bosses to get some progress made. It is in these bosses that we will be taking a secondary raid group on monday, at the same time of the normal raid. This means that there will be two raid groups up at the same time on monday night.

We hereby invite / suggest especially all trial members to make sure you're online and available for the raid on mondays from now on. Since we need 20 people to fill both groups it is important that we have as many people attending as possible. Ofcourse you will also be saving up some dkp points so when you're joining on the "main" raids you actually have something to bid with.

I hope this idea is clear to you, if not feel free to post your questions here.

We hope to see all of you on the new training runs (and all other raids aswello ofc ^^ )

hmm nice idea but i thought that apart from ignis and council the rest where mandatory to kill in order to progress to the last bosses of ulduar... thats what i think i heard joe saying tbh, maybe im wrong

a very good idea it can be 3 bosses btw, razorscale ain't mandatory, it's just a good test.

If you're in a rush, you can leave all the keepers alive if you want (just have to kill the one patrolling the walkway, the one with the tiger adds) and head straight on to mimiron. So mimiron could be the 4th boss on a fresh run. The only reason we still do the keepers is to get some more experience and because they drop the t8 tokens.

atm ignis and council have not been downed yet on the current save. As far as i know those are the only ones this week. If we do really well tonight we may not be able to raid ulduar until 23.00 (st), but if that would prove to be very doable we will select one of the other bosses each week to leave for the training raid. This boss will be rotated every week to both give the main group a chance to get their gear emblems from those bosses, and top do a different boss every week on the training runs.

1 thing to add though: you may wonder why we do this on monday, and not on a saturday or sunday (when more people can usually attend). This is to prevent people getting on mixed saves when the raid week isnt over yet. If we would do it in the weekend we would have some trouble getting a group together on monday.

well, if we're gonna do those rotations, can't we rotate between ignis, razorscale & council with the main group as well? ignis at the very least drops unique ulduar loot (healing/caster off-hand).

btw, we can't skip all the keepers, we need to down them to go on to vezaxs (we nearly did mimiron on our second try yesterday, the times it took us 2/3 days are over guys )
