closing out the second month of the expansion and they're talking about putting together another 25-man raid group, in addition to the current 25-man and 10-man. it's crazy shit. seriously, we have like 60-70 people on most Tuesdays; closer to 100 if you count the people who just come on to check on the raid.

and we're not the top-ranked progression guild on the server. personally, I think that's largely due to sticking with the comfortable and familiar group 1 raiders from WotLK rather than, as they claimed they were going to do, taking a number of other applicants every week and then keeping the best.

there are two DPS warriors in that group, and I'm doing more DPS now with worse gear than they had the one time I got to run with them (and that only because one of the tanks didn't show). on Magmaw I'm averaging 12k DPS while keeping up Sunder and Demo Shout and using Shattering Throw. might hit 14k this week with my new trinket.

Maloriak is a real bastard of a fight. we actually downed him almost a minute after he enraged, so something definitely got tweaked there.

unfortunately, we're starting to have to pull in non-guild-members because none of the fucks in the guild who just want to raid are willing to join anything but the main 25-man raid. I mean, you'd think they'd want to pick up some experience to make them a bit more attractive to the leadership, but no....
