So here's the skinny, my new job should be letting me out of work at about 8pm server... this leaves me the oppurtunity to attend these, if you have room.

I can bring 1 toon.

What roles I can fill depends on what is needed:
5.7k GS Pally (DPS, if it's a raid I'm not DiTlocked to) // 5k GS Pally Tank
5.2k GS Hunter
5k GS DK (DPS)
4.8 GS Shaman (DPS)
4.5k GS Lock
4.4k GS Druid (Tree)
3.7k GS Rogue
3.5k GS Priest (dps) <-- currently working on gearing this and my tree.

I'm Polixenes, Kwiggles, Fiddlesticks, Owches, Fiddlestickz, Twiggles, Strangepork, Dwindle in game. If that helps.

Aside from being slammed fixing my inlaws house all this week I am game M/T/or W, so long as it stays static.

DPS: Moschus

Well I'm good pretty much any day or time, just need a day or so advance notice on when the planned raid / group will be so I can make arrangements.

I'm still only level 71 / 70 with my 4 dk's / priest.
I have my mutliboxing movement squared away really good after 4 years of boxing, so I would eventually like to try 1 tank (offtank) 3 dps + 1 heals.

Would like to try doing some 10 mans with 2 five boxers also, myself and 1 other.

I'm also open pretty much to anything.
Taking 4 dps dk's + 1 priest, the setup mentioned above, or even just taking 1 healer, 1 dps etc...

I hope to be 80 within 2 weeks and geared for raids within another week or so after.
See you all in game.

This is tormented btw.

I'm down.

Styrr warr dps 5.1k gs // 4.7k gs tank (if we need it i can try to fill this role. have not raid tanked though)

eventually once they are geared
Svartur Disc priest. needs lots of gear though
Versinthe frosty mage (74 atm working on leveling)

[Moorea]

I'd love to raid tank - though my tank is only 4.7k gs so far (but increasing; I'm near having enough 60 frost for a major upgrade) and also fully gem'ed and enchanted (100% with /eg)

toon is Morea

/speaking 100% from experience of starting / maintaining DiT

Getting a group started is hard as fuck. What worked for us in the past is talk to everyone we know and talk up the group. Madoran was such a shitty server DiT was Toraneko and Myself, + 6-8 transfers when we first started. So post about the group here, talk about it in game. A lot. nearly to the point people tell you to stfu. If someone just can't make the raid times, not a lot you can do about that so no need to harp on people.

Other things that DiT learned

• Leadership. You *must* have a solid leader (or in DiT's case, a scapebear) to make the tough / PITA decisions. You don't have to be a superhero, you just have to be able to herd cats. Don't be afraid to depend on other people. If it wasn't for my ability to go talk to Toraneko, Fenril, or Vecter about the raid group, I would have nerdrage quit a long time ago.
• Recruit if you have to. Guild tags are meaningless. We *never* required anyone that raided with us to be in guild.
• Don't be scared to pug, LOTS of people have alts and they all want gear. We found Kawasa by pugging.
• If you build it, they will come: get into a routine. No matter WHO or how many show up, go do SOMETHING!
• A fair loot system and a team of friends makes loot not matter. DiT on Madoran used a loot council, which was primarily who Toraneko and I thought the loot should go to. Here on Kil'Jaeden we use /roll MS>OS and we still don't have loot issues because Toraneko / Kaulan / Myself all know what we're after and everyone else is very quick to pass an item to the next person.
• Roll with the punches, shit happens, don't let it get ya down.
• Do stuff outside of the group, with the group members, this is purely relationship building. The more you interact with your team outside the raid environment, the better you'll perform together IN the raid environment.

If only 3 people showed up, it's disheartening, but it happens. That's when you should hit the trade channel. Most of LoB has a very bad habit of not wanting to do anything until whatever raid group is 10 seconds before the first pull and then people are like "Do you have room for 1 more?!" Just work around it. If you need me to bump you to a recruiter position so you can update the gmotd, I can do that. But you shouldn't think you are limited to just the guild. I'm the absolute worst at pugging, but I'll do it. Just make sure you advertise your loot rules up front.

If you need any help or any suggestions please talk to me or anyone else in DiT. We've been through the pains and you shouldn't have to go through them too :_D

I probably would have joined you guys, but the timing wad bad, we were just finishing up the DiT run. If it were on another night, or at a different time, maybe it would work out better. I have 13 80s, and only one is committed to a raid lockout, so that leaves 12, 5 of which are geared to go to ICC 10, and probably ICC 25. The others are around a 4k gearscore, and can probably do ok in ToC 10, or Ony 10. I'ved boxed up through ToC 25 all the way through, and I've boxed ICC 10/25 for trash, so that should help fill up raid spots, until we fill them with other people.

The times that are best for me (until I get a job at least) are mid afternoons, 12PM -5PM Server time.

Not to be harsh, but calling it "the not good enough to join DiT raid group" probably isn't going to win over any volunteers.
