6 Hour Team · Meet the team

Spends the fight watching twenty health bars and one very specific person who stands in things.

A steady 60 percentile. Not the biggest number on the meter, still standing at the end of it.

Every guild has one boss they cannot parse on. Theirs is Plexus Sentinel, at a stately 48.

Once put up a 81 on Soulbinder Naazindhri. The guild has heard about it. Twice.

Has been turning up since Manaforge Omega: 3 tiers and 64 raid nights of accumulated grievance.

126 logged kills across 17 different bosses, every one of them a matter of public record.

Has been at 4 of the tier's raids and looks personally offended by the concept of a night off.

They still tell the one about the demon hunter who leapt blindfolded into a pack without checking what was in it, cleared the lot, and landed facing entirely the wrong way. They tell it because he did it again the following week, and the week after that, and is fully expected to do it again this Sunday. The healers no longer flinch. They have simply built the evening around him. He has never seen it coming, and has never yet been wrong.

ELEMENTAL SHAMAN (Orc). Range: six tiers, a hundred and thirty-six nights, always the same three feet of floor. Feeding: lightning, mostly. Notable behaviour: does not chase keys, does not chase parses, does not chase anything — the boss comes to him, or it does not, and either way he is signed up for Wednesday.

BEAST MASTERY HUNTER (Orc). Range: everywhere, for years, without interruption. Habitat: the same spot on every fight, very slightly to the left. Diet: whatever the pet does not want. Distinguishing feature: quietly outranks most of the people who assume he is just some bloke with a bow. Behaviour when threatened: sends the pet. Behaviour when the guild is threatened: also sends the pet, then fixes whatever went wrong without mentioning it. Migration: none recorded, and none expected.

Would do more damage if they didn't keep having to move, as they will explain at length.

Attends 75% of the time: regular enough to be a fixture, rare enough to keep an air of mystery.

Owns exactly one 100 parse, on Soulbinder Naazindhri, and has built a personality around it.

151 parses deep on 18 bosses, which is either dedication or a lack of alternatives.

Has an ongoing disagreement with Loom'ithar, who is winning.

Has been turning up since Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible: 7 tiers and 116 raid nights of accumulated grievance.

Averages a 92 percentile across 3 kills and would like everyone to know that.

Keeps the raid alive in spite of its life choices, then gets told the healing was low.

Loom'ithar remains the nemesis, and the logs are not kind about it.

AVAILABLE: one haranir druid. Will bring starlight to your raid and a lantern to your problem, whatever the problem is, without being asked twice. Happy on either team, happy on any boss, visibly happier when somebody else gets the loot. Does not roll on things, which the loot has noticed and taken personally. Enquiries after nine in the evening server time; before that she is asleep and will not be moved.

Fully committed to the damage meter, and only loosely committed to the mechanics around it.

Take one dark iron monk, aged eight tiers. Add mist, generously and continuously. Do not stir; he will circulate on his own. Season with a hundred and sixty-one nights of knowing exactly when the damage lands. Rest briefly between pulls. The dish improves the longer it has been in the guild, which is the whole trick of it.

Fully committed to the damage meter, and only loosely committed to the mechanics around it.
