I think the greatest challenge we are facing right now is experience. The boss fights are starting to require everyone to play an important role in the fight. If one person messes up, it usually results in a wipe.

ABSOLUTELY!!!! 100% correct.

I support this new progression night, but a raid will never work unless EVERYONE there has read the fight, knows the boss, knows the tricks, knows the traps. You should know exactly what to do, what not to do, and when. If you don't, DON'T RAID until you do!

If you think "Oh I'm just a healer I just stand there spam heals," or "I'm just dps I just stand there and pew pew/stab stab" you are wrong. . Everyone has extremely important roles.

Dead usually explains the fight at the beginning, this is a nice, but ideally unnecessary luxury, everyone should already know what to do. If you're counting on it as you're only explanation, you might as well not be there. Do some research on the fight and how your class should handle it. Leo is an amazing example of this. Every class has to deal with their "twin" completely different, even healers and tanks.

I would love to see a raid where no explanation of the fight will be given, and we go in there and one-shot it. I seriously, soberly suggest it.

I've only been here a couple days and havn't had the chance to fully get to know alot of you or explore the website. However, I am all for this as this is the only true way (stating from experience) that any guild will either progress in raids or stay stuck at the MC of us 70's. I have more than enough gear to either dps or tank so...../signs up for progression raid. :Þ

I was looking at the calendar and don't see any of the raids specified as "Progression". I am personally up for it anytime - I always try to carry 20 battle and guardian elixirs (helps that Spiritmonger is an Alchemist) - but it would be good to know ahead of time which fights to refresh on.

^^^ i can't find it either
anyone wanna elaborate on dates. Wiselin will be semi available pending surgical crap that might effect my ability to see.

We are still working out when to post the new progression date. We will let you know as soon as a decision is made =)

don't tell us when it is if people can find it on the calendar then they have passed the first test of becoming part of the team (bored out of my mind so I have alot of free time to think up other trials) =)
