What do you pack for raiding?
I was just wondering what other Warlocks pack to go raiding. |

Re: What do you pack for raiding?
First off you can never have to many Soul Shards.. especially if you are the only lock on the raid. Personally I load up my shard bag and at least 2 other 16 slots.. I mean really how much junk are you expecting to pick up on a raid. Second is Wizard Oil... 40 extra spell damage is nothing to scoff at. The best thing about oils is that they persist after a wipe and are pretty inexpensive. Third would be Potions.. yes we have healthstones and can drain life.. I can't even count the number of times a potion has saved my arse when when the healers are oom or otherwise occupied. I can't belive the number of locks who think they don't need em. Bandaids!! So many people underestimate bandages. Affliction locks are one of the few classes that have the liesure to stand back and bandage if neccessary without taking a mega DPS hit. Personally I wouldn't make it a habit but on those long boss battles when you are tapped down to nothing it beats blowing a potion. Food. More bang is always a good thing! There are a few dif foods (Blackened Basilisk, Golden Fish Cakes) that will give you a dps edge. They are a little on the pricey side to buy and you lose your buff if you die. Mage Water! Once again I am shocked at the number of locks who refuse water from mages  . Free mana here folks.. more often then not if you tap after a battle to recharge your mana a healer will top you up.. its a reflex for them and a waste of mana. Park your ass and drink some water.

Re: What do you pack for raiding?
I usually bring: 20 Bandages 10 Health pots At least a full bag of shards, sometimes more, depending on the raid Wizard Oil Some Damage pots, depending on Cash flow And since I'm a cook, I take one day a week, and go fishing/cooking and bring 40-60 +stam food 20 +ap food 20+mana 20 +agi 20 +damage 20 +str 20 +healing food And pass it out to the raid. I also bring a stack of Rumsey Rum incase we wipe a lot and I run out of food, just for the extra stam. |

Re: What do you pack for raiding?
Lets see... Shards: 60-70 for heavy learning nights, 40-50 most regular raids Bandages: 2 stacks, 1 for me, one for people that run out 20x mana pot 10x health pot 20x Adepts Elixer 40-60 +dam food 10-12 wizard oil What I do is shard farm on the basilisks in Terrokar. Follow the cliffs and rivers, and you'll never run our of targets. 60 shards generally yeilds about 2 stacks of basilisk pieces, and I get a cook to blacken them at the instance. Plenty for the whole raid this way. I'm an enchanter, so I get with an herbalist or the AH and buy herbs for Wizard oil. I try and have enough to give one to every DPS caster that didn't bring their own. I have an herbalist alt that I'm working on, so I'll pull herbs from there every 2 weeks or so to get pots made. These are for me alone, and I use them sparingly. Not one of those chain-chugging types. Its too expensive.

Re: What do you pack for raiding?
Lets see... Shards Fixed Armor 2 stacks of Bandaids 2 stacks of cloth to make Bandaids (i'm anal like that) Food and Water (though if there is a mage i dont use em) Wizards Oil (this stuff rocks!) Health Pots, Mana Pots Swiftness Potions (for when our guild Leroy pulls his Jenkins) Various Elixirs, Shadow power, adepts, Fire power, and guardian elixirs. (I'm an alchemist, so I generally have a little of everything) Flasks of Supreme power A few trinkets of various resistances and spell damages depending on the fights. A good sense of humor as my guild likes to joke around and keep the mood uplifting. a can of whoop ass, for them special occasions Quests where applicable guild tabbard so we can find each other in the mob of people outside the raid a /violin for those people that show up unprepaired Demonic Figurines (maybe one day the raid will let me summon him... /sigh) a Sprite Darter Egg Egbert's Egg Dark Whelpling (what.. i like having multiple minions) two cans of Soda, IRL My favorite heavy metal CD My lucky Scooby Doo Boxers What i do not bring along is A girlfriend (She has a habit of distracting me) Mercy (not that i have much anyways) Gnomes (shudder) Spare clothing a "happy fun rock" to throw around a partridge or a pair tree.
