Wrath of the Machine, Fri, Jan 20
There's still a chance some of us will be needing a raid, so sign up below if you're available! If we don't need to run the normal raid again, or do other quest tasks, we can always give hard Vosik another go. It would be fun to eventually get good enough to take him out!
Our time slot will be Friday, January 20 at 9-11pm Eastern. If you sign up and find out later that you won't be able to make it, please post again here and let us know so we can find a replacement.

Let me clarify, I will be available, but if you need a slot for for raid beginners, I will opt out!
Vaht Vokuree asked to be added to the list for next Friday.
In. Won't be leaving for Canada till the next morning. Will notify in advance if plans change.
Agent1951 also asked to be added to the list.
We have an Aksis Phase 2 checkpoint from Tuesday, so it's not unlikely that we can get a couple of people their first Aksis kill!
Team: DEEP_NNN, doorgunnerjgs, Vaht Vokuree, Duke12, Agent1951, and myself (Krak64)
Alts: gmantx
I wish we had a larger pool of experience that operates in these time windows.
You also have the option of getting a more experienced player than me to balance things out better. As far as I'm concerned, been there, done that. Let's get more folks through.
It's ok if we don't knock Aksis down. The worst case is that the new guys do some learning, and the rest of us get stretched a little getting used to a new team composition. I'm glad you guys are willing to give it a try, because we need you!
I totally agree with Deep that it may be more reasonable to shepherd one new person at a time thru the raid. The raid, especially at the end requires good communication and understanding of each player's role which may change on the fly (read empowered} as well as quick reaction ability. It does take time and repetition for there to be success with new players and existing players in new roles.
Seems like the line up is set. I had major health issues over the weekend and totally forgot about signing up and was never asked why I hadn't on Tuesday so I will be doing something else. I am starting to see Friday as a training ground anyway, I don't mind helping others out but "if you can't even get in the door..." At least Tuesday night is a pretty stable set up.
I see it as the journey first and the destination second. Hoping to finish the raid on my Hunter character tomorrow. If it doesn't work out, there's always next week. And regardless of outcome, the new guys will have more experience than they did before. And one tends to learn more from the failures than the easy successes :-).
Switching to alt, so a slot is now open. If needed, send me a party invite. I'll make sure not to be on Iron Banner 15 minutes before raid time.
DEEP_NNN, doorgunnerjgs, gmantx, Duke12, Agent1951, and myself (Krak64) ran tonight starting from Axis Phase 2. Agent1951 got his first Aksis kill in the first hour. Congrats, Agent1951! After that we ran some Iron Banner.
Congrats Agent!
