My raiding group has been doing DS10 for about 4-5 weeks now. We raid Fri/Sat 3 hrs a night (may add another 2 hrs on Sun after we finish farming FL for staff). We went in with half pug groups in Dec but holidays were really messing with people's schedule, especially since we raid Fri/Sat. So we got our first real run in the first full weekend of Jan.
Currently we are 6/8. Spine should have been down 2 weeks ago but we had a couple people quit and the replacements for them.....well they didn't work out so well. So I have that corrected and we will be going back this weekend and should down spine and start working on Madness.
So my question is, how big of a jump is it from downing Madness, to starting to do Heroic? I have heard Morchok isn't bad but what about after that? I have done a few heroics here and there but usually after the content is no longer current so I am trying to find out ahead of time what to expect and how hard it will be on my group.
Also, how big of a factor is group makup going to be? My group's makup is usually as follows. Last spot I am recruiting for and will probably get a second dps with a heal OS to hopefully make sure I don't have to pug if we are down 1 person.
Prot War
Feral (Tank) Druid
H Pally (me)
Resto Shaman
Disc/Holy Priest
Surv Hunter
Afflic/Destro Lock
Arcane Mage
Fury War
?? - Last spot is up in the air atm.
I know we could use a Demo lock / Ele Shaman and that is one thing I am looking for. A DK would also be helpful. Other than that though, any major issues with this setup?
I am basically just trying to get an idea what we are in for. Right now most of the group is on for raids and that is about it. I am a bit worried that if we get to bosses that are taking 4-5 weeks to down, the group will fall apart as people will stop logging in.
