Raiding

Not the game company

We have gotten more snow in the past week than in probably the last ten years combined. The city is poorly prepared, and we lost power 7 times within a 48 hour period. I managed to get off a Facebook message to severs saying I couldn't make the raid, but I'm not sure it went through =P

My attendance will be unreliable for a while. Might be better by Thursday, but the forecast is calling for more snow.

For those with minimal time and/or attention, I thought these quick tips were accessible and looked useful.

I might be on time, or late, I really have no clue. School Christmas recital thing, and it's our first one. I have no real concept of how long we will be staying or when I'll be free.

I have noticed a weird use of personal CDs within our raid team.

I want to make sure everyone understands the ideal use of a personal CD.

A personal CD in most cases is not "Oh shit I'm almost dead, I'll use my CD to try to stop this and let a healer heal me". A personal CD should be "Oh look I'm about to take a bunch of damage, I'll use this CD so I take less damage so my healer doesn't have to heal me as much." Obviously not every CD works this way, but most do. If you aren't sure, please ask, someone will help clarify for you.

Healers we need a CD rotation and specific places to use them whether or not we think we really need to.

It specifically talks about healing CDs.

So assuming for now that it is:
Me, Stone, Perh, and Sol healing we have 4 major output CDs.
Tranquility (2min), Healing Tide Totem (3min), Divine Hymn X 2 (3min)
We only have one major defensive CD:
Spirit Link Totem
Recommend rotation, Dys, Perh, Sol, Stone

Wreck!!! So I was in a pretty bad wreck Tuesday. We were in the company van myself and 3 other ppl. The old man driving I guess blacked out or fell asleep. He veered off the road and hit a guard rail. The guard rail went thru the motor and came out of the floor board and went all the way thru the van. We flipped end over end and rolled down the hill till we finally stopped upside down. The only major injury was the old mans foot shattered when the guard rail came thru the floor board. Well that and my coat and laptop were destroyed as well.

I thought this was interesting since we are currently struggling with phase 3.

May be late tonight. Wife set a double date up and I'm not sure what time we will be home. Have fun storming the castle!

I will be late tonight. My kid has a choir concert that starts at 7:00. My guess is it will be over at 8:00 or 8:30 and by the time we drive home it will be 8:45 to 9:00. I completely forgot about this until just now when the kid said "so what is the plan for tonight I have to be at school and in my uniform by 6:15"...oops, bad mama. I'll login as soon as I get home.
