Raid Prep

[Nobby]

Hey all. Just thought I'd offer up a suggestion or 2 regarding being prepared for raids as far as gear/consumables go.

It really helps if people are geared up fairly well from all the smaller instances before tackling the likes of MC, ZG, Ony etc etc. If you have a bunch of green items you will probably struggle in these instances. Make sure you try and gear up as best as you can in scholo, strat, brd, LBRS and UBRS so you are better able to handle the demands of higher level instances. When the new sets come out we should get everyone suited up in those.

As far as gear goes, we need to start getting more fire resist gear and nature resist gear for ZG, Ony, MC and AQ. I know some people can make various pieces and some stuff is available in instances. go to www.thottbot.com and find out where you can find some resist gear.

Another thing is bandages. People should get their 1st aid up to help ease healing and show up with a bunch of bandages.

Health and mana pots are critical, as well as fire and nature resist pots. Many guildies can make these so ask around. Everyone should help gather stuff to make various pots for the raids, it goes much easier.

Anyhoo, if we all spend a lil time gearing up, tougher instances will become that much easier.

the new sets may not be the answer. I have been reading the test realm forums and apparently the quests for the upgrade to certain "set" pieces are a pain in the ass. We'll have to see when the patch goes live but I would agree with Nobby to get yourselves upgraded through various lower instances

the point is that the new set piece can be aquired with a smaller group which would be easier to coordinate and do it more often. When will the nay saying stop??

Lets start some threads for Fire gear and Nature gear so people know where to go or who to ask to build the item! A thread for every type, cloth leather mail and plate.

Wowwiki has a armor resistance guide:

We can just use this, or pick stuff off it to build up individual lists.

Thats a great place to look stuff up, Thx Tanzo

It's not nay-saying its just what I read on the forums of people trying to put together the sets on the test realm. They actually might be alright, but from what I ahve heard so far, looks like building your gear from ZG,DM, etc...would be better.
