We one shotted Grul last night for the 2nd week in a row. We now have an awesome core of 25+ people who know what they are doing. Does 2 weeks constitute a farm status? – I got 5th on Damage Metres which is not too bad, because I think we had 4 mages, a couple of warlocks and so on, and Shadow Priests arent expected to top DPS, but I need to be edging to the top t0 be worthy and besides More damge = More Mana for my group.
A belt dropped last night that I was very interested in , and at the moment rules are for loot tier4 only goes to Members/or Raiders. Healers get 1st preferance on top of that, and another other non tier gets rolled on. Untill something I wanted dropped.
Ive cleared Grul with this guild 4 times / so for a month, but have only been a member for the last 2 weeks, so untill Today I couldnt roll on T4 I agree with the Tier 4 rule, its fair, and I also think that giving some preference to people who have been raiding longer and need a particular item is also fair within reason. Eg When the Mindblade drops in Karazhan It shouldnt go to me, a) because ive only been there in a short time, b) Ive spend a heck of alot of time/gold on Soulfrost for my Curator Staff and c) I dont have enough badges to buy a decent off hand to even use the Mindblade. So Im prepared to wait a little. And while I support the ideal of a loot council. Again the same problem that happened to me in Kara happened. I was not given a roll. ( no one rolled for it – it was given to a mage who had a blue belt. So once again I was ‘punished’ for spending hours in BG’s for my plum belt – the drop would have been at least 15 more spell damage plus what ever Damage I could have gotten for the 2 sockets.. so at least 25 all up. Now this may not seem to be a lot, but Im just under 900 +shadow damage now, and I want to top that 1 k – The council didnt look at the entire set the Mage was wearing ( rest was plums ) In all fairness to the council they are trying to be fair. But I belive what would have been fairer.. was that at least the people who needed it had the chance to Roll on it.
and to quote someone elses blog ( no idea who sorry) If the item was that much of an upgrade for them that it took priority over everyone elses then they didnt belong there
