Who Needs Bloodlust (WNB) is a premiere 10-player raiding team in AIE. We make our way with skill and aplomb (and far too many inexplicable Hunter deaths!) through all current Cataclysm raid content. We are an adult raiding team, with people who enjoy putting in serious effort to take out raid content, in a smart manner that only requires raiding two nights a week.

During Wrath of the Lich King, we were the only AIE raid team to completely finish Icecrown Citadel, by both destroying the Lich King on heroic mode and completing the meta-achievement. Now in Cataclysm, we were the first AIE raid team to kill a Cataclysm raid boss in heroic mode. We have fully completed normal mode tier 11 raiding, and are working on various heroic mode bosses. We look forward to continuing this all the way through the expansion, to destroying Deathwing!



The Team


Raid Schedule

  • WNB runs two raid nights a week. Our raids are from 10PM to 1AM server (Eastern) time on Monday and Thursday nights.
  • As a static raiding team, raid members are expected to attend all raids. In the rare case that real life prevents attendance for a raid, the member should post in our raid thread as early as possible, before the raid happens.
  • Some of us are on other evenings during the week around the same time, to run a daily heroic or a battleground together.


Raid Bank

We have an alt raid bank that handles the materials and extra BoE items obtained from raiding. This includes any BoE drops that aren't needed for the main specs of raiders, and materials such as crafting orbs that drop in raid instances. Any epic BoP drops not needed by our raiders are disenchanted, and the Maelstrom Crystal are put in the bank. We provide these crystals for any enchants that raiders need done on their raiding gear. The extra BoE items are sold on the Auction House, and the gold goes to purchasing food for feasts, and materials for the flask cauldrons used by the raid each week. In this way, we are self-supporting for the major costs incurred in raiding.


Post-Game Analysis


History

WNB was active through all of Wrath of the Lich King, with a team lead ably by Gobu and Palatinus. We were the only AIE raid team to completely finish Icecrown Citadel, by both taking out the Lich King on heroic mode and completing the meta-achievement. The final raid team in Icecrown Citadel that took out the heroic Lich King was: Gobu, Palatinus, Muddy, Dikadar, Visygoth, Norser, Cuer, Gogmog, Prometheuz, Mannibis.

As Cataclysm approached, some of the raiders left WoW entirely. The raid team picked up new members and forged ahead into the shattered world of Cataclysm.
