the more I watch this video and others the more I want to start boxing in my raids so I'm considering putting my low lv teams on hold and assembling the random 70s and 80s I already have into a mixed pve team. My priest and pally are already well geared and ready to go and I could have a lock, hunter, and shaman to 80 in a week or two if I worked at it.

The only drawback is I like to lv a full team from scratch so as they lv I can find the best way to play them together, but if I Frankenstein a team together that’s already 70+ I have a ton my abilities to string together as instead of working with them one or two at a time.

Sitting here bored on duty thinking of all the possible combinations and trying to come up with the best answer is probably 60% of the fun for me.

Just wanted to post a reply I had to a PM I got from Nejcha (by the way, her PM was great and just sought clarification on my earlier post):

Nejcha,

Wow, I very much appreciate the thoughtful PM.

I definitely don't deserve the "Mr." in "Mr. Mecurio" (though it is kind of cute now) and I'm not sure I deserve you sending me a PM to address my questions/issues. But thanks anyway.

So... here's where I am:
My original thought when I read your post was that you got a TON of very well-deserved praise for you accomplishments and that from my experiences I just wanted to present a bit of critique, or the downside (if small) of what you were doing. That's why I wrote the post as I did - a confusing "bit of praise - lots of critique - bit of praise" post.

I figured that after running ICC10 in PuGs over 40 times in a month that I knew how it should be done and what raid leaders expected. With that as background I thought there are some constraints you put on the raid that I wanted to discuss.

What you are helping me to figure out is that though I DO very much know what PuG raid leaders expect, I may NOT know how it should be done. I assumed that in 40 runs if there were alternate viable ways to do things that some of the 360 people (40 runs * 9 other people per) would have suggested them. With that big a sample size, I thought I could reasonably assume I knew all the ins and outs, so could speak with authority.

So here are some amazing facts you are helping me to learn that I wouldn't have believed a week ago based on my prior experiences in ICC:

• The first five bosses in ICC can be solo-healed
• You can bring in four DPS toons that all do 7K+ DPS
• You can bring in random people in a PuG who can perform to a very high level even with an "odd" composition
• You don't need even a single physical damage DPS in ICC (BTW, I still don't understand how this is possible with the Reanimated Adherants in Lady, but I have been convinced that I ought to believe you until proven otherwise )

One week ago these were all completely out-of-the-box for me and had never been even mentioned by any of the other 360 people I've raided with.

So admittedly, I was ignorant earlier and I appologize if my original post came off as crass. If I had known any or all of these things beforehand my post would have been different.

Of course, I would still caution most boxers reading about your exploits that you are very unique in skill and experience and we all have quite a ways to go before we can think about replicating your accomplishments, but you have definitely opened our eyes to what is possible in our little hobby.

Thank you.
