So,
 
The folks I'm raiding with have a solid progression up to the beginning of DS.  I'd have to say that I'm greatly impressed by the quality and amazing level of detail in the two raids.  Just amazing. 
 
Here's to seeing if I can pull off getting my gloves imbued before FTP launches.  :)
 
 
 
How's everyone else doing in their raiding life?

Hoooooo sheet, it's a morning coffee thread. Haven't seen one of these in a while. Maybe because Tex seems to have fallen off of the face of the earth.
 
Speaking of faces, my guild is smashing ours into SD and it's been fun. We're very close to downing them, just need some more good attempts for everyone to get comfortable with the fights and then it's on to the loot piñatas that are the boss rooms and we can spend the crazy amount of glory we all have.

I know right, the massive DPS/coordination check then just gets easy from there for a few bosses from what I've been reading.
 
Yea, not sure where Tex is at.  I missed these threads.

Yep,
 
We've been slacking on Morning Coffee for a while now, and the hot summer period is definitely not doing it any good.
So I'm happy to see them going again, and I think I will contribute a bit more to them to actually keep them going and have them pop up on a daily basis again.
We really ought to keep this tradition going :D
 
As for raiding,
At the moment not doing it anymore.
Not because I do not like it, but because I've been focusing on getting C.H.U.A on track again.
We've rebooted our guild a couple of weeks ago, and heavily focusing now on making our members feel at home, and actually recruiting more to help us grow.
Although summer periods are a bad time for most MMO games, I'm actually quite happy that we've increased our member count from 4 to nearly 20 people now.
 
Unfortunately a large part of them aint ready for raiding yet :(
But we'll get to that at some point. Whether it's in a couple of weeks or when F2P launches, makes no difference to us.
When we're ready, we will dive into the Genetic Archives once more and clear this place.
And this time, with full guild groups :)
For those wanting to know more about C.H.U.A, or why we decided to reboot the guild, send me a whisper ingame or a PM.
I'm just happy to get my own guild back on it's 2 feet.
 
As to raiding in general:
 
Love it in WildStar
System Deamons was a pain to learn
Mealstrom fight is awesome
Lettuce is boring between wall phases as healer
Genetic Archives is a fun encounter
I love the whole Ohmna fight.

			I love wildstar raiding. Its fun, challenging, and rewarding. The raids are well designed and have amazing artwork. To be frank, I haven't had such a memorable raiding experience in an MMO since Ulduar in the WOTLK expansion of WoW. We've been clearing GA every week and just starting to poke system daemons with a big stick again. We have a little bit to do there, mostly in terms of getting everyone caught up with our veteran raiders in gear and experience, particularly with the SD fight.

Raiding is awesome- we are still at the 15% phase on Ohmna. Hoping for a first kill this coming week.
 
/fingers crossed!
 
We are probably changing our raid schedule to 3 nights/3 hours per, which I think will be better than our current 2 night/4 hour raid schedule. I think people just get tired for that last hour. Coming in to work on Ohmna fresh would be sooo much better.
 
I did some more work on the raid management site- added a guild armory just yesterday, and so far it seems like it will be a pretty nifty feature. Right now it seems there is a refresh bug on the site, but hopefully will get that worked out tonight or tomorrow. The main trick will be getting everyone's gear info onto the site- I created an add on to do it, but I have to be in range of everyone. So guessing that will happen next raid :D
 
(WTB armory API from Carbine . . .)
 
Again, if anyone's interested- right now the site handles signups, raid assignments, and now has an armory. Would love to share it with more people and get some feedback.
 
I'm a bit concerned about things I'm seeing from the PTR, but trying not to get alarmed too early. Hoping the raiding and vet dungeons stay fun.

			Since coming back, I've been grinding out my spellslinger to 50. Should be there today or tomorrow! I'll have to land myself a raiding guild on Entity, Exiles side once I'm there and some entry gear under my belt. Looking forward to it.

The biggest thing in this phase that can mess you up is people either: ignoring the little heads when they pop up and losing platforms, not paying attention to the devour interrupt and losing a tank, or not STANDING IN THE DAMN SAFE ZONES and getting knocked back into the goo. You do all that, you're golden. After three maw Ohmna is a loot piñata.

Yeah, I think we'll get it this week. Our main problem is tanks going down- so it's just a matter of seeing the fight a few more times and getting the practice in. The last few pulls we were seeing everyone alive, adds getting burned, and people avoiding the knockback. I really thought we were going to get it, but then we had a healer go down, then the healer's tank, then it just kind of cascaded from there. But just a few more pulls and we should be golden.

Yeah, that's what we tried to do :)  But couldn't quite get em down.
 
Do the maw's have shared health?

			I do hope Avatus isn't being too much a bother... Oh who am I kidding.

Yes, they will all die at the same time.

			Also anyone know an up to date cooking guide? All the ones I can find are from last year and they don't work... too little fish too little time to wing it, so to speak.
