Had my first raid with Failure last night. Just a 30-man MC run.
This looks promising. There are many old-TE people in this raid. Actually this is the B-Raid. Failure is
setting up two major raid forces. I think this is awesome! The main raid force is the hard-core force with the
second raid full of people that know what to do and able to raid, but usually not as often as the main force. The main
benefit this will provide Failure is there should never be a lack of people to raid. If the main raid is hit with a
number of people leaving they will not have to go recruit more people to fill the holes. All they will have to do is
look at the B team to fill the ranks. It might take a week to get everyone on the same instance but a one-week wait
is much more efficient than having to recruit someone, get them up to speed with the guild, how the guild works and to figure
out if that person is worth their salt. Yeah the B-raid will not be the first to take anything down but it should be
right behind the main force. As long as people are willing to raid and be a part of the B-Team it will be a good thing.
If B-Team turnout ever falters, then it will not be a good thing.
I didn't give an update for the MNC yesterday. We hit BRD. And we hit it HARD! We actually did two
Emperor runs! Ghaani got her Imperial Gem and Stab got his trinket/neck item he wanted. The only things we need
there now is the quiver for Ghaani and the trinket/neck (I forget which slot it is for) for Dej. Then we can turn our
focus to LBRS. This coming Monday Dej will be out with the birth of his son. I hope that all goes well for him
and his wife. We may or may not run on Monday. If we do, it will be without Dej. We may try a 45 Min Baron
if we can get another DPS Class.

Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn. I go out of town for an extended weekend
and when I come back I find out that my guild has folded. Yep TE is no more. After many people decided to move
on to other things the leadership of TE decided to fold the tent instead of trying to rebuild again. This is sad considering
not two weeks ago we progressed to the second phase of Nef now we are gone.
Bolger, Bazal, Lokiz, and Abyrra you led us far. I wish it could have been to the end of BWL. I wish you
guys the best.
Abyrra, Thanks for your guidance in making me the Paladin I am today.
Aby, Forgefire, Tharen, and Anigave I will miss the TE Paladin channel. Forge and Aby don't forget that Judgement
still looks better on a human than a dwarf.
Daisye, thank you for all the healthstones.
Jendra and Jedan, I hope that you can get a faster Paladin to give you BoP than I could.
Onais, It seemed that many times through MC you and I were attached at the same mob. I hope that in your adventures
you shall get everything you deserve.
To all the other TE'ers and TE'ers that had moved on previously, I miss you all, and I wish you well.
With TE folding that means I need to find a new guild home. Here is my advertisment:
I have a Pally, Guuinnes, with 3/8 Judgement and 3/8 Lawbringer and a Hunter, Ghaani, who are both keyed for Ony/BWL/MC
that are looking for a guild home.
I have extensive Raid experience. My old guild had ALL of MC on Farm Status (including Rag). We had Razor
and Ony on Farm status. We have killed Vael, Broodlord, Firemaw, Ebonroc, Flamegor, and Chromag
many many times.
We had also reached phase 2 on the Nef fight (transistion was killing us). ZG was a non-issue for us, we had stopped
going there as a guild event prior to 1.9. AQ20 we had killed all but the last boss. AQ 40 we had made a few attempts
at the first boss.
I had an over 80% raid attendance. I usually ran late due to RL constraints. but I made nearly every raid.
If I didn't I kept in communication with my class rep and guild officers to let them know
my schedule. I am able
to raid Tuesday through Sunday from 7:30pm CT until whenever.
With Guuinnes I have over +365 healing, 183 FR, and I am Holy/Prot specced for raiding (I have Improved Might and Wisdom,
and Kings) I have Greater Blessing of Might 2 as well.
I have not raided as much with Ghaani I have not raided as much but I do have 88 FR, +13 to crit, and I am Marksman Specced.
Please send me a tell in game if I fit what you are needing to fill out your raid force.
Hopefully this ad will look attractive to a MC/BWL guild and I will find a new home soon.
/salute TE! May your memories all be good and your future bright.
