Background

To change up a weekly group of balanced questers on Stormrage, we migrated the group to Tichondrius and decided on a gimick: all one class (inspired by The Volvo Project). And what better class to concentrate on than the jack-of-all-trades Shaman? A few strategic discussions later, Tales of the Horde began to take shape.

After progressing through the initial growing stages, the team made a decision to focus on instances where possible. This page reflects that focus.

In its current incarnation, there are five specific roles defined on the team:

Tales of the Horde
Role Character Player Notes
Primary Tank Jaco Alan
Primary Healer Pauco SnowDog All restoration, heading to NS first
fill in Fako Magimac
fill in Cracko Sosostress
fill in Belcka DarkMoonRising

Scheduling

The team meets Monday nights between 5:30 and 6:00 server time (8:30 - 9:00 Eastern). They usually close down by 8 PM server time.


Instance Planning

Scheduling and planning for the next instance in sequence is done here.

Next instance: Wailing Caverns. Started but not completed.


Tales of the Past

The group quickly ran through the first dozen levels before conquering Ragefire Chasm. The biggest lesson learned in RFC is that a team of four is much much weaker than a group of five. When doing normal questing or grinding, we'll sometimes play when a teammate cannot make it. Instance runs just can't handle this change, however.

In running Wailing Caverns we learned that we need Tremor Totem running when fighting Druids and that someone must always run Stoneskin. Staying together and avoiding accidental aggro is obviously key, and we continue to improve :).

Strategy and Build Discussion

Primary Healer build at L41. Goal is to reach NS as soon as possible then go back for Mana Tide totem. Comments welcome.
