Who We Are

The Weekend Warriors first formed in Novemeber of '09. Because of other commitments and a rotating cast of members the group fell apart. In December a few of the original members decided to try and Reboot the team and keep our merry band together. We are a casual group. We wish to see as much of end game as possible. Weekends are the best time (and for some the only time) we have to raid hence the name. Our goals are to finish ICC and defeat Arthas before the next expansion. After our successful clear of ToC 10 on 2/5/10 and subsequent success in Ony 10, we are focusing on clearing Ony 10 on Fridays. After Ony 10 we plan to use the rest of our Friday night raid time as ICC progression. On Saturdays we will focus on ICC 10 progression. If we hit a progression wall on Saturdays we plan to do ToC 10 or VOA.

As of February 12, 2010 we are officially an ICC Content only Raid Team.

Recruiting

We have our main roster filled. We are not currently recruiting new members for our core 10. We are looking for a regular DPS alt that has a second ICC raid ready Tank or Healing off spec. Our alts see regular play because of the nature of our group. If you are interested in being an alt you can checkout our official thread in the AIE Raiding Forum for the latest information on Recruiting.

Loot Rules

We roll first for main spec. If no one rolls on main spec we roll for off spec. If no off spec we shard the purples and roll on the shards at the end of that nights raid.

Other Important Tips for Raiding with WW

1) Bring the flasks you need--fish feasts will be provided.
2) Check out the fights. Tankspot and Wowiki have great boss strats. No one can be expected to know everything; but giving the videos and strats a one over doesn't hurt.
3) Invites will go out at 8:30. By 8:50 we will begin looking to fill your spot unless you notify us before the raid that you will be late.
4) Communication. Speak up if you see a way to improve the raid. If you don't know a fight it is ok to ask for a boss strat. We can't fix what we don't know is broken. So if something is bothering you or you think some things need to changed please give voice to that. Any group (raiding or otherwise) can only succeed if we are all on the same page.
5) Lastly and most importantly. Bring your fun hats. We are all here to see as much content as possible and to have fun. Lets remember that.

Week 16 Cleared Lower Spire and the Plagueworks on Friday with a 9 man defeat of Putricide. Healed Dreamwalker and defeated the Blood Council on Saturday. We also took two tries on Blood Queen getting her to 45%.

Gear Requirements And Alt Policy

We are looking for members that are geared for ICC 10 Content. We are working on progression so as long as you are progressing you are in good company. Because of the nature of our group we raid very late in the week. So that alt members can raid with other groups should the opportunity arise we will send out invites on a rotating schedule via the in game guild calendar. These invites will not secure a spot that week; but should a member be unable to attend those alts will receive the first invites before we use AIELFG to fill the spot or go to other alts.

Required Add-Ons

Deadly Boss Mods
Omen Threat Meter
