Gauging interest - level 50 cross-realm PvE raiding "guild"

    • The raids will be FRAPSed when they happen. Be a part of WoW history!

    So, the Temple of AQ thread over in the 60 - 69 forum got me thinking. As of WotLK all classic raids that remain but BWL require level 50 (the latter requiring 55). How many people would legitimately be interested in a level 50 raiding guild, to run some MC, AQ10, and AQ40. I might level a tank up myself. I'll throw some chardevs up here later today and see what everyone has to say. We can start off with MC/AQ10 and if we somehow manage to get enough interest we might be able to move up to AQ40. Engineering would pretty much HAVE to be required and possibly Gnomes because WotLK trinkets will give that winning edge for AQ40, so keep in mind this might turn into all Gnomes. Keep in mind that we will also have no access to WotLK enchants EXCEPT for the Engineering boots. This is something new, challenging, and surely noone has done before; from the looks of it this is closer to Classic raiding than 60 twinks PvE wise. If this takes off I'll create a website for us and fund anyone coming to my server for it (Spinebreaker US).

    Things to know:
    Hit Cap against 60 Bosses - 13% - 99 hit rating for melee, 84 hit rating for casters. Doable, and as seen in the chardevs below, requires very fine stat balancing.
    HP-wise - Cloth hovers around 3k, Leather around 4.5k, and Mail/Plate around 7k. With the enormous amount of damage put out in the raids, healers are going to have to be REALLY good at healing.

    Chardevs
    Warrior Tank - 7269HP, 54.25% DR, 44.60% CTC. LW for the pants and dropping it for mining.
    |_Warrior Tank w/Fire Resist - 5029HP, 107 FR, 51.52% DR, 39.93% CTC. LW for the pants and dropping for mining.
    Priest Healer - 602 SP, 6.19% haste, 21.48% crit.
    Rogue DPS - 1170 AP, 30.42% crit.
    |_Rogue DPS w/Fire Resist - 3298HP, 112FR, 842AP, 20.72% crit.
    Mage DPS - 570 SP, 0.74% haste, 16.53% crit.
    Warlock DPS - 545 SP, 4.46% haste, 16.32% crit.

    Intriguing idea. While I like the idea of conquering the raid at the lowest possible level, my first thought was to attract people to try it at 54 instead of 50. That way, if people really get into it and numbers start to grow, then we could also get the benefit of a new twinker bracket. This showed up on the WoW forums last week:

    50-54 XP OFF interest thread - Forums - World of Warcraft

    While completing raids at 50 would be cooler than at 54, getting a new bracket off the ground would certainly interest me. I'd make a 54 healer for a chance to take on some crazy old-school raiding.
     
    One question EU or US? As far as I know Eu has quite a few 50s twinks active, US on the other hand hasn't. The idea seems nice though - you have my support. Also if anyone is interested in making 50-54 (eu) plz pm me - so we can add each other on real id and do some premades ^^.
     
    US. I'd not currently interesting in getting 54 starts, but once all the raids are cleared I'd definitely consider leveling to 54. Warcraftnick, link the armory and PM me your Real ID.

    If anyone has a toon at or near 50 let me know! For the "achievement/victory" factory, this will be done with 50s only.

    This will be Alliance side, Gnome is HIGHLY recommended. Faction change if you can.

    Gear for DPS since tanking as a Human isn't preferred, unless we get desperate and can't get another tank. Though faction changing if of course the best option even for DPS, Sonic Booster adds more than 50% AP during the proc.

    I'm gonna get my girlfriend on board as a priest, so it seems we've got a tank, heals, and a DPS. Come on people, level those random alts to 50 and join in!

    Yes. We've started leveling our 50s up. We need a lot more to get this up and running though, will try doing some advertising on our realm and realm forums.

    AQ20*
    Ain't resistance and avoidance going to ruin it?

    It's AQ10 now.

    Ruin it? Naw, it will provide more of a challenge. With all the new talents and shit I believe this is the fairest challenge we can get as far as old school raiding goes.
     
    Did just google AQ20 and you are of course correct :)

    I mean you wont be able to get that much expetise or spell penetration which might make it close to impossible.
     
    Added Melee Fire Resist sets for Molten Core. Drops Tank's HP over 2,200 and Rogue's HP over 1,200, but achieves a TON of Fire Resist (107 for the tank, 112 for the DPS), and still retains the Hit cap and loses just a bit of DR/CTC for the tank, but a chunk of AP for Rogues.

    AFAIK Resistance scales far better at 50 than at 60 so we might not even have to use such a huge amount to cover the Fire Damage.
