Greetings heroes of the Alliance,
After a long time since the idea of hosting an MC PuG crossed my mind I finally decided to go through with it! Why? Mostly because there are no consistent and dedicated MC PuGs on Alliance side (RIP Risen's) and I think we all need to feed our PvE needs by gearing our alts with the current content being so heavily farmed.
Okay, it sounds all very pretty but when will it actually happen?
The runs will take place on Saturdays at 7 PM Server Time, with invites starting 20 minutes earlier.
Perfect, but how do I sign up for them?
I will not use any kind of website signing up requirement, you sign up by whispering me in-game (Excy / Exceptionz / Excell) and you will go through a process of gear inspection (in-game or using twinhead's armory). I will then tell you if you're accepted to join or not.
Got it, but in the raid how does loot exactly works?
MS > OS
Main Spec, ie. the one you're playing in the raid, will be obviously prioritized over Off Spec. We won't use any DKP System, instead we will go with the Roll System with some reserved items and a list of priorities that some classes have over others. Also, gold that drops from Ragnaros will not be shared (no I'm not being greedy, you will know why!)
BoE's will be rolled after the raid.
Item Priority List
Striker's Mark - Melee Priority
Ring of Spell Power - Caster Priority
Talisman of Ephemeral Power - Caster Priority
Mana Igniting Cord - Caster Priority (gtfo Paladins!)
Azuresong Mageblade - Caster Priority (paladins, pls)
Wristguards of the True Flight - Hunters and Fury Warriors
Any Fire Resistance Gear - Protection Warriors
Band of Accuria - Protection Warriors, Hunters, Rogues (furies it's not good for you really)
Choker of the Firelord - Caster Priority
Perdition's Blade - Rogues (again, furies, pls)
Reserved Items
Legendary Items, Fiery / Lava Cores and Sulfuron Ingots are reserved.
Ragnaros' Gold
I mentioned above that the gold dropped from Ragnaros wont be shared (roughly 2~3g per player) however every single piece of it will be directed towards the PuG with certain rewards that I will explain below!
What can you expect from the PuG
- Qualified Raidleading with huge experience with vanilla content;
- Fast and smooth runs Vanguard-style :biggrin:, aiming for clears to be done under 1h;
- Consistent MC PuG with the cooperation of Vanguard members;
- A relaxed, yet professional environment and raidleading tone during the course of the raid;
- Last but not least, DPS and HPS gold rewards. You see the gold taken away from Ragnaros above? Well, using RealmPlayers feature we will track the average DPS and HPS of the players within the run. There will be weekly gold rewards to those players in every PuG - might not happen in the first two weeks, however the rewards will be above 100G! Gotta reward dem tryhards!
What we expect from you
- Pre-Raid BiS or near to Pre-Raid BiS gear;
- A minimal amount of consumables (list below);
- Aqual / Eternal Quintessence (everyone must have this)
Note:
Why the quintessence? It's used to douse the runes in Molten Core (flaming iron stuff on the ground next to some bosses) and making it possible for Majordomo the Executus to spawn and therefore being able to reach Ragnaros.
How do you get it? You can do some googling, however in a very short way you have to go Azshara to where the Hydraxian Waterlords reside, do a series of quests and boom! you get the quintessence. The Eternal one is only attainable once you reached Revered with that faction.
- At least an idea on how fights work in Molten Core, reading up on some guides or watching some videos, even though I will explain every single detail it's better for you and the 39 people with you that you have an idea of how things work;
- Patience and professional attitude towards the PuG to ensure its smoothness and / or possibility to overcome some challenges that may occur;
- Obedience to the Raidleader's call, players that fail to listen to the raidleader will lose priority on loot and in some extreme cases a kick from the raid will happen.
Consumable List
Everyone - Greater Fire Protection Potions (biggest requirement)
Melee - Elixir of the Mongoose, Elixir of Fortitude, Juju Power, Juju Might, Smoked Desert Dumplings
Hunters - Elixir of the Mongoose, Elixir of Fortitude, Mana Oils, Major Mana Potions
Casters - Greater Arcane Elixir, Elixir of Shadow Power (warlock's case), Elixir of Fortitude, Wizard Oils
Healers - Elixir of Fortitude, Major Mana Potions, Demonic Runes, Mp5 Food
Tanks - Elixir of the Mongoose, Elixir of Fortitude, Juju Power, Juju Might, Smoked Desert Dumplings, Stamina Beer, Elemental / Dense Sharpening Stones, Free Action Potions (big requirement)
Note: Not all of these potions are required or mandatory, they are simply a guideline of stuff you should aim to get since they greatly benefit the run you are participating - obviously some are more important than others. In general terms, Greater Fire Protection Potions are mandatory for everyone.
Apart from this, you need:
- TeamSpeak3 Installed and Configured: Download Link
Players that are not on Teamspeak will be tracked and kicked from the raid. We need you to listen to us and us to listen to you! Communication is the key to make these raids successful!
Some last thoughts
World Buff are not a requirement, however I highly encourage everyone to get them. We will not take Heart of Hakkar / Onyxia or Nefarian Head buffs in normal cases. I say in normal cases because I plan to do Onyxia after the Molten Core Raid if there's enough interest and people attuned, in those cases players that receive the Head of Onyxia will be asked to keep it and to turn it in before the next PuG!
Any kind of raging behavior will not be tolerated and players will be punished for it. The point is to make a relaxed and smooth run for everybody!
Next MC PuG Date: 21.05.2016 - Saturday 7 PM Server Time!
If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask either here or in-game! I repeat, to sign up whisper one of my main toons: Excy, Exceptionz or Excell! I will do the run with my Protection Warrior Excell!
Join and have some fun, bring a friend and remember, bring a quintessence!
