Summoning all Warlocks to RAID!

Hello my facemelting brothers & sisters of Ni! So you're 85, you're tired of dailies, now what? Well my friends the raid team wants you! We are currently looking to expand to 25m or add an additional 10m team. Currently Class Officers are helping their classes prepare for raiding but since there's no current CO of Awesome (I mean Lock), I'll be helping you guys best I can.

To begin raiding you do need to work & earn your spot. If you have no prior raiding experience THAT'S FINE. I take pride in getting new raiders in & helping them grow. These are the things you are responsible for:

- Sign up here so we can check your gear, spec, dps, ect. Tell me in your post what spec/specs you play!

- Must have know how to thoroughly play your spec in PvE. (yes, CC & demon abilities too!)

- Must have mostly heroic 5 man gear (iLevel 346) or above with the appropriate (but not necessarily the most expensive) enchants and gems. Working on gear takes time, DO NOT go AH crazy and shop for 346 pieces just for the number, get gear appropriate for your spec. This means reputation gear, Justice point gear, and Heroic drops. Head and shoulder enchants are a must!

- Must be able to reliably attend 2 raid nights a week. Right now those nights are Wednesday and Saturday from 7:15pm-10pm server time (Central US). Real-life comes first BUT Ni still needs to know. Remember, it may be a game but in raids we are a team... people are counting on you!

- Must have a good idea of how the current boss fight works from watching videos or reading strategies. Don't go in blind and expect to wing it, you're a liability to the raid at that point. Videos of the strategies we use are posted in Raid forums and also on youtube. We generally use Yogscast & Tankspot guides.

- Must be signed up for the raid on the in-game calendar. This doesn't guarantee you a spot, but it let's the raid leader know if we will have enough people to raid that night. Be online ON TIME!!!!!!

- In raids we need to max our performance. Bring appropriate food, pots, reagents to optimize your spec. We do have fish feast and guild cauldron but if we run out or you're the 8th ni using a cauldrom (they serve 7) you'll need your own backup supply.

Remember, it's not expected that you already meet all of these requirements at this time! We can help you get there! Now post me your spec & Boogity, Boogity, Boogity, LET'S GO RAIDING BOYS! {insert Nascar reference}

OK my ilvl is finally at 373 and I can enter LFR I am signed up tentatively for LFR but am interested in possibly joining one of the Raid Teams in the Ni Family let me know what I need to do.

Currently Spec'ed Destro (and learning the new spec)
dual specced Affliction (can switch to demonology if necessary)

P.S. I need help with rotations - I need to get my DPS increased some more

Coming on an LFR run would be best start at getting a seat although honestly we are DPS heavy currently so I have no fulltime seats. With lower DS pretty easily farmable I'm pretty sure we'll start rotating more in on wednesdays. As for help on dps, Moris & Arlunden are our current lock raiders & I'm pretty sure either can point you in the right direction.
