I knew 100% it would come to this.
I was stubborn enough not to help you guys on Karazhan just to prove you guys are unorganized and unprepared. Not only was a forum was given to you, but also TWO tanks! Two tanks to organize a 10man in 1 week. You guys had the freewill to pick your own roster, you were basically a GM. I was going to let this go on for 1 month, but looks like the 3rd week you guys proved my point, you're pathetic -_-;.
You guys see my raid roster for ZA on wednesday? Guess how I filled it. I used the in-game mailing system and whispered to players. I gave myself 1 week to prep it. Easy.
Now let's get back to my point about "progression". You guys want 2 Karazhan? Maybe 3 or 4 or hell even 10! You guys fighting for players to be in your karazhan, calling each other name because you're a karazhan expert or something. Everyone is so better than everyone else huh? This is what happens when you give free will to incompetent people. Like God gave us free will on Earth.... and look now, Mother Nature is dying.
Here's the deal.
1 100% Karazhan.
The left over go pugs (stand up and do things yourself, don't be a sandbag in PRISM)
If Whiteink have the time, he'll take you to his random Karazhan.
The point of this deal is...
Karazhan is just a waste of time for the guild to have fun. It's like a filler moment of progression. Why? It goes nowhere, except VERY LONG Term upgrading gears.
Teaches you no team value for the 25Man.
And it's taking players from our ZA Progression.
This is where I stand... Progression and Leveling my Holy Paladin. (Also Arena)
You want to only do karazhan, that's fine. If you get mad cause you're left out from the karazhan. Join a Karazhan-Only Guild. Problem solved. (Should really start our own pug group)
We have a lot of new players to the guild. I recommend you guys be friend with each other and do heroics together or dailies or even BG. Stop worrying about Karazhan.. You have 1 week to eventually find a group.
Here's some "tips"
1) Worry about the overall of the guild, not why you couldn't do karazhan you selfish @$$.
2) Enjoy the damn game! While the rest of the players are getting geared and ready to progress.
3) Don't wait for Whiteink to carry you on his back.
4) Just chill... and enjoy... Is that so hard?

Healing PRISM
Sorry for not updating this for awhile. Been busy farming or lounging around Ironforge.
Anyways, let me tell you what I found out about PRISM! I learned that our healers don't communicate to each other like they should be.
Karazhan Orange needed a healer so I logged on Holyink and decided to heal for them.
They were wondering if I healed before, but little did they know; let's just say it's been a long time =P. In order to be a good healer, you just have to do your part and not let them die. Then automatically you get a titled "good healer". But if you let someone die, then automatically you're a bad healer. Me and Cleptis were the only two healer for Karazhan. We have tried two healer before and it went AWFUL! But this time, I am in control of the healer's part.
I told Cleptis to heal the MT while I'll heal the Raid for trash. Easy right? I trusted Cleptis 100% to do his part. It worked. Now for Boss fight things get a little different. I am an efficient-mana/rage/energy player. I don't want us to Overheal ANYONE. There will be no double healing. If a double heal occur, it means I have fail at communicating and did not trusted my guildies healing. SO, I called out every person I was going to heal. I knew 100% to not touch the MT with heals, unless my raid is topped. If Cleptis said he'll heal someone, I'll heal someone else. The heal were distributed flawlessly.
What boss were we doing? Shade of Aran. Now you're thinking, "Oh easy boss." True, it is easy, except for the fact I forgot to tell them about the elemental that comes out at 40% or so. We killed like 1 elemental when the boss was downed. The entire raid was getting hit by frostbolt while they had to stand still in Flame Wreath or standing there at the bookshelf while waitng for Arcane Explosion to go off, or even trying to tank the Elemental while blizzard is pounding at them. It was pretty intense but we had 1 death and 3 Elemental despawned when Aran died.
We have this problem with 3 Healers... When Elemental comes out and just pwn everyone. I would usually tank and tell my raid what to do, but never who to heal. This is where Healing comes in. IF Me and Cleptis can heal the entire raid, but why can't THREE healers do it?
The answer is Communcation. The 3 healers are probably healing the person with 20% health.
It may not even be a Tank, maybe a mage that got caught in blizzard. After 2-3second the mage got 3 heals, and is overhealed after the first heal because it was a crit. Now the tank is low and 3 heals on the tank, and so forth. It's like the 3 healers combined into 1 SUPER HEALER. Every heal will be an overheal.
My advice to PRISM is, stick to your healing assignment or make one for the raid. Trust at least 99% of your healers. That 1% can be you topping off because you're done with your assignment for that 3 second. Communicate with each other, tell them who you're going to heal or dispel. Or even ask for help, tell them to heal this person for you, because you are silenced/stun/LoS/ etc.
It took me 1 boss fight to realize this, and we went to downed Prince with this tactic.
There are those who healed 1-70 and still don't grasp the concept that I was explaining.
If you're thinking, "Whiteink stick to tanking man you don't know anything about healing"
Prove to me that you can heal. Our Karazhan should consist of 2 healers from now on.
3 Healers is an overkill, I know because I was bored doing healing with Cleptis; Only the MT gets hit and he was assign to him.
To summarized this...
1) Set a healing assignment and take advantage of special healing spec (ie. Inspiration)
2) Trust your healing parters and communicate with them.
3) Preemptive heal for heavy hitting boss, cancel if the Main healer topped him.
4) Take advantage of the 5-sec Rule (Priest), tell your healing partner you're going to regen while he'll cover for you
5) Be mana-efficients the BEST you can! Know your math and know how much you heal for to the person that needs a certain amount of heals.
Good Luck!
