Cataclysm Raiding - Main Declaration Thread

Talarashne - Druid - Restoration / Balance

Moobuckaroo - Druid - Restoration / Balance

Ogghorn - Druid - Restoration / Balance

(awkward, we're all wearing the same dress to the ball)

Wakawakataka - Enhancement/Resto

Tirren- Disc and probally shadow have the dual spec but no second spec yet.

Zyro (Formally Xilvia) - Death Knight - Blood / Frost

Huygens - Rogue - Assassination/Subtlety

Ikuri - Priest - Disc (main), Holy (off)*

*May switch to a Shadow spec for leveling, then back to Holy for raiding

Mickyslick - Warrior - Fury with TG/ Fury with SMF

Not sure which one i like better yet, so It will probably depend on gear which one I use

Bloodnickel - Hunter Surv/BM

Also Tal, Blood is the new tanking spec.

Melindra - Paladin - Prot/Ret

Horatius - hunter - MM/Surv

Cacciatore - Hunter - SV/MM

Kassia- warlock- destro/affliction

(to be determined which is actually my main spec, but i figure the differences in gear are so slight that it doesn't matter for her anyways)

Just kidding  Summerlilly  DESTRO FTW!  Affliction to play around with

Siopao- Hunter- MM/BM

Sammael - Paladin, Protection/Holy

Since we seem to be shorter on tanks lately, I'll probably prioritize the tank set for a while.

Bleh.

Warfury - Warrior - Frenetic Fury/Protesting Prot

Poxumbra - Rogue -  umm Ass/Ass wow thats awkward.

Main - Damnacus - Warlock - destro / aflic

Alt- Nochance - Ass/Sub

Fiermi - Paladin - Prot/Holy

I was Ret, but I don't like it too much, so going back to Prot/Holy. Eventually I will get my Hunter to 85 and Lovmi will be my raid DPS, but she hasn't even hit 70 yet so she wont be raid ready any time soon.

Joxmu - DK - Tank/DPS

I like to tank more than DPS.....(but some like my dps more than my tank..../cry)

Ophirrah Mage Arcane/Fire

Decided to try fire out as a secondary but i dont like it so will probably go back to frost for off spec

Lifesmiter - Hunter - Marksmanship / Beast Master

Aristeniae - Priest - Shadow (main) / Shadow PVP (off).  I can switch back to heals if we need more healers, but my offspec has been laying fallow and I'm tired of dying in BGs, lol.

Zeelatani- Arcance Mage/Frost Mage

Jurchen-shaman-real shaman spec

Cile - Affliction main spec, demon off spec

I also plan on leveling Lexim (pally) so I can have a tank available if needed, but my priority is Cile.

Tread - Warrior - Prot / Arms (if PVE viable, otherwise, Fury)

I will definitely be sticking with my Rogue.

Currently I am spec'd Combat for PVE, Subtlety for PvP

I may switch to Assassination for PvE if I can find a decent pair of daggers when I hit level 85 since I believe that is a better dps spec for raiding.  It will probably take me a little longer to level due to competing time requirements.

Hope everyone is enjoying the cata expansion today... I am totally in WoW withdrawal this week!

Rex

Caerulius - Holy/Ret

I've got Mordicia, my dk, set up as Frost/Blood if we are short tanks.  I'll try to get him geared up soon, but tanking is grumble inducing for me.

Bear / Moonkin

I can switch upon request, but gearing more than two specs in not practical so changes should not be frequent.  I changed my dps spec to Moonkin, because the cat rotation is brutal, the reports are that melee got the short end of the stick as usual, and this makes my gear easier to organize.

Skraptastic - Resto/Elemental (but for truth, if im needed to dps I'd bring Tharadra *pew*pew*pew*)

Claera - Rogue - main spec combat, off spec undecided

Blood/Frost.  Going to work hard on both sets, and enjoy tanking and dpsing equally. 

Groztokk - Shaman - Restoration / Enhancement

Kibito - Monk - Demon ass-kicker.

Oops wait. that's not right.

Kibito - durid - Rawrbear / Flying Circus Kitty

Limper still my main tank/ret (I tried to heal once, it didn't go well.)

Thoughts on making Limper a cow or staying BELF?  Would it be better to be a ginormous tank/wall of beef or a smaller tank that people can see around?  I personally don't care either way which race out of BELF and Cow since I can't be a Goblin Paladin.  (oh well)

To be honest, I'm not sure yet. I am expecting for Tartana to stay my main as she became in Wrath, but it entirely depends on the guilds needs. 

The characters I'm most interested in working on (at the moment) are Tartana (Druid - Bear Tank / Cat DPS) and Tartaji (Priest - Holy / Shadow) But I have a lot of characters. I'll make up my mind soon.

Automatique - Paladin - Holy

I do not plan to rush to 85, so I might miss out on the earliest raiding.  I will most likely be levelling Mog (arms/prot), Talamah (boomkin/?), and Taevar (mut/sub) and pick one of them for raiding.  More to come...

Magechick - Um, guess - Frost/Arcane (or whatever else gets the most bang for the buck, glass cannon wise)

Valysong - Warlock - Affliction/Destruction

Tumorbane:  Warlock.  Destuction. 

Irullan! Disc/Holy (playing both at the moment)

Can make a shadow spec again if needed.

Rautha - Druid - Feral DPS

Rautha - Druid - Feral DPS

Open to switching down the road to whatever we need!

edit: argh double post :(

Mcrourke - Melle DPS , Unholy DK

Malgorn - Death Knight - Frost / Unholy

Zalruin: Melee DPS, Frost. Can tank in blood as offspec.

Hmmm....this is a rather tough choice.  Rogue for now, but lemme share some of my thoughts, for future reference.  I'm leveling my rogue first because he's my money maker.  I want to start raiding as soon as I"m geared at 85, so this means my rogue will be my only choice, and my second leveling choice is my paladin.  I'm leveling my deathknight last (which is odd, he's usually my main) and as much as I like playing a dk, I hate them in a raid setting its just not fun anymore imo.  so that leaves my paladin.  depending how we are on tanks I may keep my rogue my main because I simply like DPSing and rogues are fun in a raid setting.  BUT if there is a need for tanks (or even a healer, I can respec) I will gear my paladin also.  however unless strictly necessary I'm gonna try to keep him an alt (that doesn't mean I won't bring him instead of my rogue if there isn't gear for my rogue, and if its allowed that given night) and my rogue my main.  Hope this wasn't pointlessly long >.> but I want people to see my train of thought I guess....I'm odd xD.

Heyt - Tank/Dps

Fury/ prot , when work schedule allows

Yaw - BM/MM Hunter

... probably.

...

-RELM HAS AGGRO-

Primary spec - mage tank

offspec - east texas douche bag.  the brown paper one.  that rips and leaks on your new sneakers.

Was talking with Zyro/Xyro in Mumbles last night and it does seem that we need a few more tanks for running everyone through the content needed in order to get to be where we want to for raiding purposes.  I will stay with Stormbringer for raiding, however I think I am going to start to lvl up Limper tonight so that we have the tanks we need to gear out all of our amazing dps and heals so we can actually get to raid.  Lets face it, no one wants to PUG.  One of the reasons I quit tanking actually.

Priest - Healing probably holy to avoid overlap,  i'll get back to you after some heroics.

Samirá

Main - Resto

Off - Elemental

Ninja Edit:  I can make elemental my main either or is fine with me.  I only say this because I see we have no elemental shaman

Zukanga

Main- Restoration

Off- Elemental

Hunter Gear - Not a threat

Alderian - Melee DPS - Unholy DK

OFF

Blood PvP (Not Raid Viable) 

Warrior. Prot main, Arms secondary.

Possibly subject to change when I get more characters levelled up. Prefer DPS on my rogue so that the tank isn't soaking up tanking and dps plate at the same time.

alright well then after reading all this again, my main is going to stay Tereledan.  DPS main spec, tank off (unsure of unholy vs. frost atm, he's still 80)

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee as me

Ophirrah the mage...

Azial Rogue

Assassination

okay since I'm not leveling anyone much cuz I'm busy, why don't I just declare my main when we actually start raiding more.  for now I'm just not raiding not geraed, blah blah blah.  I'll repost when I have some 85's geared and see what I like.

Main Spec:  Feral Bear

Off Spec: Resto though I am also prepped for Balance

I would like to declare as a Tank with Force. I have been leveling him as prot, but I do not have any raid experience as a warrior tank. I should hit 85 fairly soon as of this posting and simply need to run normals to get geared. I imagine I can "learn" my tanking in said normals (hopefully)

I also have a rogue and DK at 80 and 79 respectively i can level soon if needed for raiding and I also have an 80 druid I can transfer over which I have experience in raid healing and raid DPS as.

but, my preference is for raid tanking or DPS on my Warrior... whatever you guys prefer.

Prot / Fury

Phreddie- Pally- Prot/Ret(eventually)

Zaed (pally) : MS - Retribution, OS - Tank

And discussions with Iky, Porky will now be my main Holy/Holy will be running two specs based on fight and urility needs.  As always, am happy to come in on Dasia or Pepor if need be. The Porkster will be at full capacity come Monday night's raid at the latest.

Rsathot - Warlock - Destruction

Im changing from my War to my Ele Shaman for my raid main.

This desision was made to better ballance out our raid group by me and a few officers.

My tank will still be available for raiding and grouping if needed, but for the time being my Shammy "Malkybebop" will be my main.

Hòlycow - Paladin - Protection

Arms / Protection

Just switching my main declaration around due to the abundance of tanks, both my Arms and Protection sets are raid ready however

Warrior Protection / Fury (Still working on gear for this, need to run some dungeons with it and make sure I'm not absolutely terrible)

*Edit*

Actually Warrior Protection / Arms (and geared in heroic stuff other than my bracers, which are still crafted PvP)

Nordberg - Warrior - Arms / Fury

p.s. The link to "Raiding 101 Thread" is broken.

Sarthonas - Mage - Frost

Khelar - Shaman - Elemental

I'm getting kinda bored of my warrior and am considering changing my main to my rogue.  It would be a nice change to melee dps instead of ... oh, wait, ....  But yeah, if possible I'd like to bring him (Taevar) to the next couple raids to see how I like rogue raiding.

Arcane mage.  Primary and preferred spec:   Arcane

Liklish - Warlock - Primary: Destro.  Secondary: Affliction

Pollygix - Rogue - Main and Off Assassination.

Changing my main From Mcrourke to Anaseth, hunter

Kinda sick of the DK and been playing this hunter since vanilla.

Neil

Fury Mainspec /Offspec Protection

Gonna put this on the offical, Im changing my main from Mickyslick to Leiamoowalkr

Leiamoowalkr

Priest - Disc

Kizer my hunter will be when he is finally up to par and ready

Deadzy beast mastery

Artanna - Paladin - Holy/Holy

I think kizer is ready to raid now.  hes at 359.  I've been averaging about 11k dps thru an entire troll.  sometimes it will get up to 13k sometimes drop to 10k so 11k is a good average. 

After coming back from Ecuador, I was ready to start getting back into the swing of raiding, though I was unsure what the state of raiding was. I asked people last night what the guild needs more, tanks or healers. To which they said "yes."

but then Firk hit me with a backhand... Firk said "what do YOU want to play?"

as if that matters, right? But Firk was all "it totally matters" and I was like "nuh uh." and Firk was like "ya huh" and warfury was like "yeah, firk is right lol wut" and I was like "oh."

So I thought for a minute and I said.

I want to play my main. my favorite character.
I want to play my hunter.
I want to play Tartare.

and Firk said "we can use hunters too."
and I laughed. It was a funny joke.

So if you don't mind, I'm going to play my hunter.
I hope that's okay.
She's poorly geared
But I'll work on that. 

Montgomery, Warrior, Fury

  Offspec: Protection

Kreegson reporting for duty. Yet another Hunter lookin to steal your loots!!!

Making Soulcatcher my main.

Ogg said so, don't make him angry.  You wouldn't like Ogg when he's angry!

Ranged DPS, L81 or 82 (yes, it's been that long)

Main spec: BM

Off Spec: MM

Blazewing - Druid - Balance / Restoration (Tempted to swap to Kitty DPS as an off spec if I can.. manage it)

Khyas- Warlock- Demon/haven't tried another spec so which ever works best.

With the gear reset and surplus of tanks (Kibito, Sethunya, Sammael, Phreddie, Abstractor, Xoso, et al.), I would like to change my main to my mage Ardbert.

Main, Goblin shadow priest/smighter Dvi lv2--will not heal, don't ask.

Alt, BElf afflock/pyromaniac Bhuta lvl85--gear maximization between specs is minimal so I can go Demo if ya need an extra axe in the raid... just hate the playstyle required for serious pew pew.  TOO damn many buttons!

Cheers!

Das Bhut

Caladorean

Main ---Destruction lock

seconday---Warlock healz as I have tons of frostweave bandages in my bank

To make things easier I am going to go ahead and declare Deysha as my main. I just have not ben playing Ken too much lately and honestly having a whole lot of fun learning to tank 10man DS. I pretty much have all FL bosses down to a science as a tank. I have taken Dey on a few DS runs already so I think she is geared enough for me to go ahead and switch. Mostly she just needs some VP upgades and a couple others to upgrade from LFR. Feel free to ask if anyone has questions or conserns.

-Ken (and yes I'll still answer to Ken or Dey or Deysha)

I'm thinking about starting to raid sometime soon; not sure yet.  If I do, though, I'll proooooooooobably go.............

...............shadow.  I think.  Maybe shadow offspec.... also. 

Can't believe I'm not on this list yet.
