Ante Meridiem

Noone seems to have posted information about it yet, so I will be forming a group for 10 Man Terrace of the Endless Spring that will run for the two weeks that we are on break. Please post here if you are interested, and available. I would like to be very organized and efficient in order to progress into ToES, so I would like to plan it now.

The plan:
For the first week we will use the remaining lockout from our 25 man guild run, if we dont get Shek'zeer down. We will go in as a 10 man group, kill Shek'zeer, and therefore unlock ToES for ourselves. Depending on how quickly we do this, we may go directly into ToES on that night, or the following.
The following week we will head right into ToES, and attempt to progress as far into it as possible, if not full clearing. I don't plan on going back into HoF on the 2nd week unless we full clear ToES, or hit a wall which seems insurmountable before the lockout ends.

Raid Times:
Thursday the 20th 7pm-10:30pm
Sunday the 23rd 7pm-10:30pm

Thursday the 27th 7pm-10:30pm
Sunday the 30th 7pm-10:30pm

Thursday the 3rd 7pm-10:30pm (Tentative)
We resume our regular raid schedule on January 6th. So we may not be able to clear into ToE, seeing as we may end up starting that as a raid team. I will speak with Numerical and Alitar to see what the plans are as we approach.

Sidenotes:
I have formed, or been part of numerous "side" 10 mans in my years with Ante Meridiem, and I am all too familiar with some of the pitfalls that come with it. So please read below, and consider it before expressing interest:

***If you can not commit to absolute on-time attendance on at least 3 of the 4 dates above, do not post your interest. I'm not looking for "backups" or "If im on, I'll go" type of posts. There are 9-10 other real life people at their keyboards depending on you. It's not just "RL > Game"... it's "RL = 9 Friends".

***I'm expecting that we will make good progress, if not full clear ToE. If you do not plan on carefully watching each of the fight strategy videos until you have a full understanding prior to our first night, please do not post.

***I don't expect to bring more than 1-2 of each class. Despite Blizzard's way of blending all buffs into each other, I would like to take full advantage of the different perks that each class brings... from health stones, to AoE stuns, to knockbacks... its not just about the buffs. This means we may have to pug certain spots, despite having someone else of a similar roll (but same class) asking to go.

Thanks all!

Very interested =)

sign me up!

i'll heal on Shaank or Exterra which ever is needed most.

You got there before me cremate. Nice post and well laid out. You can count on alitar and me.

Thanks all. Added you to the roster.

Needs:
1 good Hunter
2 good Tanks (prefer Warrior & DK)

I know I wouldn't be able to make sunday the 23rd. But I should be able to make the rest of them. You can put me as a dps on the bench or tank.

Let's do Mon./Tues. too! Guaranteed clear of 6/6 4/4 in one week and maybe even try heroic HoF/ToES =P

You are more than welcome to form your own group to clear whatever you want. But I know that increasing the number of days, increases the likeliness that at least some of the raiders will have attendance issues.

true.

Hmm, wtb tanks?

I would have loved to sign up for this, but my sister and niece are coming from South Africa to Toronto to visit us for the first time since we moved here over the holidays, so I will likely only be online for short bursts. Hope you guys get some great experience and gear in ToES!

You will need 2 melee and 3 range for dps. Basic comps for all 10 mans. And one of those range dps with a heal OS. Oh and one of your tanks needs a good dps os gear.

if you need another dps let me know man and ill GLADLY come kill some shit with you all

I'd gladly go if you need another melee dpser. I know i'm not on the PM raid team right now, but I'd be available to commit to your scheduled raids.

Appreciate the offer gus, but I have 2 melee, 2 ranged, 3 healers already. I would like to solidify the other ranged, and the tanks before filling back up spots. Thanks!
