I keep getting asked to update my arcane guide for Ulduar but instead I wrote down what I've been doing in Ulduar so far.

This includes what specs I use on each fight, some new addons I've added to my magey arsenal, situational glyphs (what fight's the one fight you don't want to use frostbolt glyph on?) and brief explanations on how to play the raiding specs.

We are still looking for:

• 1-2 excellent warlocks
• 1 holy/ret paladin

And we also have an additional 2-3 spots open for ANYTHING -- any class, any spec. If you're skilled, we'd like to talk to you.

Remember: we never recruit for the bench, all of these are full-time raiding spots.

In the next major content patch we will be removing the prismatic quality of the jewelcrafter-only Dragon’s Eye gems. Like other gems, they will have to match the socket color to receive a socket bonus. When this change occurs, players with qualifying jewelcrafting skill will be provided a yet to be determined amount of Dalaran Jewelecrafter Tokens as compensation.

This wouldn't be quite as tragic if:

(a) we knew that JC was getting upgrades to Dragon's Eyes when they released epic gems, and
(b) Mages had more than 2 red sockets on our T8

No more information available at this time, but Ensidia killed Algalon on 10-man.

This represents at most several weeks of work on Algalon, implying that, on 10-man at least, he's very undertuned.

Even if they have 5-6 keys worth to be able to run people through multiple instances per week, on 10-man at least he's hardly a "raid killer."

This is a great little mod for those hard-mode wipe nights: Ulduar Autopilot

Thanks to Feist of <Resurrected> on Mok'nathal for the pointer.

Includes the specs we used, as well as detailed healing instructions for each phase and addon suggestions for ranged and melee both:

Sorry about this, I didn't realize (since I hadn't done a once-over of the strats yet) that while we had a Thorim "strategy", it was still our PTR notes!

We've updated it with a totally legit strategy -- thanks to the reader who pointed out this travesty.

We got our first US-first kill last night. And, man what a rush -- the first time we've gotten a kill that early.

We started out in Ulduar at a disadvantage: due to our guild Vegas trip we only raided 2 days that week. And in general we have a time disadvantage: we raid 22 hours a week max and we didn't change that even in week 1 of Ulduar.

(edit) apparently the trolls need clarification that it was the second week of Ulduar we were out in Vegas (even though that's well-documented in posts here earlier.) THERE YOU GO INTERNET TOUGH GUYS!

The last of the non-hardmode strategies is finished:

Open Positions

We are looking for the following

* An excellent holy paladin who loves healing but also would be happy to go Ret any time we needed him to
* A warlock who is world class dps

Even if your class isn't listed we would consider world class players of any class/spec. We do not ever recruit for the bench, all spots are full-time raiding spots.

For more information, please see our recruiting post at: [Horde] [Turalyon] Fusion
