Dunder Mifflin & LOSTies' First BH Attempt

Aah, the joys of raiding. This is a teaser video for Baradin Hold. LOSTies and Dunder Mifflin are both Alliance guilds on Kalecgos server, and we're raiding allies. This video is our first ever attempt together of BH, and we wiped in this video. We didn't succeed till after four attempts, and sadly I forgot to record our successful attempt. I'll be sure to put upload a successful attempt. I just felt I had to upload this first attempt cos it was bloody hilarious and well, cos it was our very first attempt. Cheers!

*In this raid we had Cheguevara and myself tanking, and Scottie (Natchos) and Elyss as heals. Thanks Scottie for the boss intel!

Tides' Healbot Configuration: Part 2

Healbot is my preferred healing addon; it's bloody amazing. I'm going to sit down with you and configure Healbot step-by-step in order to achieve maximum results. We're going to make healing heaps easier, no more frantically trying to keep raid members healed. Healbot makes the healing role much more smoother. This is part two in my Healbot series.

Tides' Healbot Spell Configuration Video

I was talking to Ralphie (a.k.a. Ohmni, Thuglife) the other night and he mentioned Healbot. I absolutely love Healbot and I think it's bloody amazing; I prefer it over the Vuhdo healing addon. This video is made to compliment my Healbot Configuration tutorial video, where I show you step-by-step how to configure the Healbot addon for maximum results. It actually ended up being much longer than I expected, a bit over thirty minutes! So I'm going to have to split the video tutorial into separate parts. While I'm working on that, this spell configuration video will preview how I've set up my holy priest spells using Healbot. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. Once again, special thanks to Shamoobs! Yer the best, mate.

Dunder Mifflin Inc. + LOSTies = l33t Raiding Allies!


On our own, we may not be much for starters, but together as allies we can accomplish far more and at a faster pace. However, raiding together will bring forth new challenges as well. We must learn to work collectively as a team, and to do so we must all make an earnest effort to adapt to each others' play styles and personalities. In order to honor our pact as raiding allies, I've put together a simple list of tips to help ensure a smoother transition into an effective raiding confederacy:

  • Strive to get to know each other
  • Be respective of others, this means being open to others' suggestions
  • Offer to help those of lower gear by means of heroics or regs
  • Bolster each others' potential by offering your trade profession skills to others
  • Be sure show your appreciation to others by either tipping or crafting in return
  • Be patient with others and willing to learn raid tactics together
  • Set aside a bit of time to do raid research and make sure you are playing your class well
  • Be prepared and on time for raids if you sign up
Although time consuming and demanding, raiding can be an exciting experience and a great way to socialize with your virtual mates. However, don't feel like it has to consume your life. Real life will always be > than WoW, whether it's family, friends, school, work or play. But during the times you are able to raid with us, be sure to sit back with your beer or lolly water (for those under 21) and have a blast in a chill atmosphere. Cheers!
