I will not be participating tonight.  My WAR is only 58, almost 59, but still not geared.  Also I will not be around this Friday or next week.

Yeah man, Wyd and I were talking and we could use you once you're done moving and back in-game.

I had been trying to learn the "1F/2P Opener," I actually used it in a Fractal run (only time trying new content as SMN) and it worked great except for the 2-3 times I muffed the rotation and lost dreadwyrm stacks. Really though, other than the 2nd boss I did fairly well. I just need more practice so it becomes more natural and I spend less time trying to remember what my upcoming moves are. Plus better timing on pet cooldowns.

I'm sure you saw this massive 3.0 SMN guide floating around back when HW first dropped.  :

Personally, I like "Sleigh's opener" although that's probably just because it starts out pretty similar to what I was using back in 2.X.

I'll keep an eye out on the forums if you guys are down a man I'd love to jump in!

Well following Tuesday's meeting I think we're aiming at 6p - 8p Pacific time on Tues & Fri, similar to the old schedule. Sorry if this doesn't fit for you Samm, but I'm sure we'll want to take you if there's an open spot and you're available. I've checked your damage before and you're ready for Savage IMHO.

That does remind me to re-check my SMN rotation and update my gear a bit more. I'm just about to where I can run Alex Normal as a DPS when we have too many healers on.

Hey guys,

I'm out for the next week roadtripping/moving to California (woohoo) and also finishing a root canal (boohoo), so I'm pretty spotty on playing.

I just wanted to drop in and mention that, and also that unless the start time gets bumped to an hour later I definitely won't be able to join you guys. q.q Luckily for you guys, I'm just a DPS so it won't be too difficult to fill the spot.

See y'all soon... from 2300mi away. Go team!

I'm interested in joining the raid group, at the moment i'm at 180 ilvl on WHM. My schedule is flexible, so any hours/days work for me.

ok so right now im raid times will be Tues 730 central to 930 central.... and friday 730 central to whenever we stop............raids will start next week.......Aug 11th.....more info to come on our first raid august 11th.

I have been reluctant to reply with times because i am close to getting a job soon. But im sure if its evening/night time it shouldn't matter since none of them are night shift positions.
But as of right now, i dont have too much of a preference with which days, but we can always alter it if needed later if things comes up.
Otherwise, im sure my NIN mobility, utility and sick deeps are gonna be useful in raids!

Oh, I should have said my main job is DRG.  Getting my WAR and DRK leveled up and geared, so I could help out there from time to time.  Not real comfortable with PLD, but leveling that too.

I would like too raid as well, but I am central time. Mondays and Wednesdays I have kickboxing classes from 6:30pm - 7:30pm CST. So Monday is definitely out for me.  Tuesdays I am only good till about 9:30pm CST, and can really start at any time. Wednesdays I am good to go at 8:15pm CST till around 10:30pm or so. Thursdays are open till about 10:30pm or so.  Fridays are open if not doing anything.  Saturdays and Sundays are a toss ups from time to time, but could do anything if given the notice ahead of time.  Yes, I am trying to have a life outside of the game LOL.
