Raiding updates!!

We've got some changes coming up to our raiding system!

1. Based on the poll, we will be starting our raid at a new time: 6:30 server.

2. Leadership from the guilds wanted to clear up what might've been some confusion about our recent policy for consideration for ICC 10 man.
We instituted a minimum gear score but perhaps didn't explain why well enough. Although we had many a week with many a member under the "line" and we downed many a boss, the newer bosses are considerably more difficult, and skill not withstanding, require a higher output and ability to take punishment then the earlier bosses. It was never our intention to make anyone feel they weren't ready for some of the ICC content, which leads us to our most important change...

3. We will be implementing a new switch system for 10 man ICC. Rather than try to form 2 groups, we are going to form one group and then ask for volunteers to step out for the first wing of ICC. Those spots will be filled by others interested in coming that either didn't win the roll or didn't meet the "line". This way more raiders can get into ICC each week, meaning a chance at drops and more reputation and frost emblems. It also means more raiders will know the fights so when we have the base to make two constant 10 man groups there will be consistency. And most importantly, it gives us more opportunity to get to know each other socially.

If you have any questions about this new system or how it's going to work, feel free to ask either myself or Leorihk. (This change will not be effected by the weekly raid being ICC. The only thing lost by those willing to volunteer out are the 5 frost emblems from completing the weekly which is only a little more than the 8 they are already sacrificing for missing the first wing of ICC.)

4. Lastly, due to the mechanics of several of the fights in ICC, we've decided to split the ranged and melee dps into slots just as tank and heals are roles. Our justification for this is if you don't have 2 tanks, you can't do some fights, and the same is true if you don't have enough ranged or enough melee dps.

The plan is to start these new policies Tuesday, the start of the new raiding week.

Please post comments and give us feedback on these changes.
