Recently just got back into raiding

[Sidoh]

3k+ chain lightning crits and 2k+ shock crits are nice  :-*

My earth shocks are ~1500 when they crit and I don't have a single point in Elemental (and absolutely no +spell damage gear other than  a totem that gives +72 damage to shocks). :-\

If I had the melee T6 set (that's what they're giving out, right), I'm sure I'd have at least equally (I highly suspect more) impressive burst damage numbers for you.  Like I said, I'm using a crappy green 1H mace.  In fact, the majority of my gear is green.  If I had the 1H axe/mace from arena points (which is over 40 DPS more than the POS I'm using), I'm sure Windfury procs would add up to 5000 pretty easily (assuming I had other pieces of gear on par with that axe).

I was Elemental for a while, but found that Enhancement was much more effective for DPS (at least in PvE.  It seems extremely effective in PvP as well).

I have a real level 70 shaman, by the way.  I don't play on the PTRs.

Turning the power on a monitor off shouldn't do much.

Did you mean to say "anything", or are you referencing a feature of VGA that I don't know about?

(Serious question.)

No, I meant to say "much."  I'm pretty sure that a video card could determine if a monitor is off (maybe this is only true with DVI or something)?

This is a suspicion and I don't care to research it or squabble over it any further (mostly because I'm uninterested).

So, what's the farthest any of you guys' guilds have progressed to? Progression is always fun.

We've got Gruul, Magg and Void Reaver on farm (free T4/5 ftw), and Karazhan is a joke - we're almost phasing it out completely. For some reason, though, we haven't had any success with Lurker, or any SSC bosses, yet.

[Hitmen]

lol.

I'm in a "casual raiding guild."

In other words, we haven't gotten anywhere. Stuck on maiden in karazhan.

I don't have enough patience to play with a real raiding guild, so it works for me. I don't expect to be going anywhere fast, but going somewhere slow is better than going nowhere.

I want to raid but...

life > WoW

it doesn't take much. i log on at 7pm, monday through thursday. i raid with the guild for 2 or 3 hours, usually, and then get off. those are the only days i play wow for the most part.

After much procrastination I got my kara key today. I also entered kara for the first time. Someone in my guild had to leave during the run, and they asked me to come in to help on Moroes. Someone fucked up and we wiped in like 45 seconds. Apparently they had been trying for a while, and at that point they gave up. An altogether underwhelming experience. But I assume I will have a bit more fun if I'm part of an actual run :)

[warz]

Moroes is actually the toughest fight in there, if you know all the other fights. It seems that Moroes is the only fight we seem to wipe on, before one shotting the rest. Moroes is a slightly long, mana intensive fight that requires everyone to be paying attention. The other fights in karazhan are like if you do them once then youve done them 100 times.

[ZeroX]

You can pug kara easily enough. You need 10 people with subpar gear with intelligence. Moroes is alot easier if you have 2 shackles.

[warz]

Yup. Like I said earlier, Karazhan is a joke once you're beyond it. It's there as a stepping stone for your Tier 4, though.

You finally running it?

[Hitmen]

Did my first *real* karazhan run today. We made it through the opera event, and went down a few times on curator before calling it, after more than four hours. We're pretty sure we can get him next time. Was tons of fun. No loot though :(

And I was second on the damage charts, even though all the other DPS was epic'd out, and I don't have a single one :D

[warz]

Good job. Curator drops some good loot. Which opera event did ya'll get?

[Hitmen]

T'was Romulo and Jullianne. Took us three tries. The first time we got them down individually no problem, but one of the tanks went down during the last part. Second time we screwed up early. The third time everything went perfect, no deaths. It was the first time anyone in the group had done it, so I'd say it was pretty good.

Raid again tonight at 9:15!
