Leveling and exploring in Draenor has been a lot of fun! The Garrison is a nifty addition to normal play and the stories have been amazing! I hope everyone has enjoyed Warlords of Draenor so far because a new challenge is on the horizon for us. The first raid opens this week! We are probably not raiding this week, so the question is how ready are we? The previous raiding thread gave us a good idea of how many members and what roles we would probably have, but now we need to be specific.
If you are interested in raiding with Game Theory during this expansion, please post in this thread. Current raiders, members and applicants should all fill out these questions so we know where we stand.
Role: This is your preferred role during raids. Tank, Healing or DPS.
Off-spec: Put here any other roles that you are comfortable with and capable of doing.
iLevel: This is particularly important to know how close we are to raiding and whether we'll start at Normal or Heroic. Normal loot is 655, so we should probably be about 640 to start Normal.
Time/Date: Our current raid times are Thursday and Monday, 8:30pm-11:30pm, Pacific time. In this field, please put if that schedule works for you and if you'd prefer a different one.
Due to the Flex system of Normal and Heroic modes, we can be significantly more, well, flexible with our raids now. If we have 11 show up, we can run with that. If 13 show, that's fine too. Are you only able to show up at 9:00? That's fine, we can still add you in at that point! Have to leave early? Also not a problem! All of this is, of course, assuming we can still fill the needed tank and heal roles. We still need to be as reliable as possible. If we have 13 people, but 5 of them think "eh, the raid flexes, I can show at 10:00 it's ok" then we won't be able to start at all and the raid will be canceled. Please be on time if at all possible, as often as possible!
Please fill out these four simple questions and go ahead to let us know if there is anything else you can think of that is important! Feel free to ask questions too. Currently we will shoot for our first raid to be next week, Thursday, December 11th.
Thank you for being part of Game Theory! Let's rock!
Role- Healer/Melee dps -I prefer to heal, but since the changes to the gear i could dps if needed have done a few 5 mans as dps and seem to be on par with rest of dps in group.
I level--currently -633 heal/630 dps
Raid Times-- I am good with the current schedule or open to any change whatever works best.
Since we won't be raiding this week i might try to pug some, get some experience in.

Time/Date: All good. Would like to avoid Friday and Saturday nights. Not because I have a life, but because I like to pretend that I could have one.
My two specs are heal and tank gear 620 at moment still getting better. Central time zone so you guys go pretty late will have to try and see if i can hang. Okay if i don't go right away really just want to be a part of the guild.. :)
Jordynwolf, there is no requirement to raid in the guild. The primary purpose of the guild is to raid, and we don't do a lot of other activities as a guild, but we have a good group of friends and family who only raid sometimes or never at all.
I guess a backup generator doesn't help when the pipes are filling with water. Sorry team. :(
Yeah, rain is considered a serious weather event here. Kinda sad.
Yeah... it's pretty bad. Apparently there's a partial short somewhere between "here" and "there" that needs to get fixed, and Verizon is swamped with repairs. I'm going to have a really unreliable DSL connection until Christmas. :(
I was having occasional cable modem reboots over the summer, lost 2 Diablo HC characters to it before I gave up and quit playing HC. Logs pointed to something wrong with the system but the tech couldn't find any issues to address. Seems to have gone away for now, the last logged reboot was November 4th.
Raiding 2/2, will be about 15 minutes late.
