Achievement farming Saturdays:
Post name, achievements you want help with (instance, general, quest), times you are available to get assistance.

I've gotten a decent start on the heroic acheivements but would like to finish them out. Probably the hardest to get through random PUGs are the Oculus ones, so maybe we could have a guild time to farm those.
I'd also love to see Naxx or Ulduar, so totally down for that.

To activate the Algalon encounter, you need to defeat 5 hard mode encounters first.
To get either title, you have to defeat Algalon.
Algalon is only available 1 hour each week. After 1 hour from the first time you engage him, he despawns. This means you have very little time to adjust strategies, allow for disconnects, real-life issues, etc.
The hard mode encounters to even activate Algalon will take a few hours to accomplish with a new, fresh group of people with no experience. In addition, it requires a balanced raid group which we can't seem to field at the moment.
Once we get a consistent group of 80s that can try for this, and are composed of a good mix of ranged and melee, we can give it a try. However, since we don't seem to have people that prefer to play ranged or healing classes, it doesn't look like we'll get this one done anytime soon™, though I'd definitely would like to.

We can setup a guild night to farm achievements, just list what days and times(server), you'd be available.

We had an ulduar raid scheduled this past Saturday, but only 3 showed up. I'll set it up again this Saturday, hopefully we can run it.
For ulduar, we mostly overgear it, and can cheese most of it, however, like most encounters, things are much easier, and only possible, with ranged dps.
We really can't do all the achievements without a mixed composition of classes, however, we can do some of them if all we have on hand are plate dps. If anything, we can pug a couple of ranged dps. If we do get a group going this Saturday, we will likely not do all of them and we'll extend the raidlock to next week.
If you don't get a calendar invite from me this week, send me an in game mail, or reply here if you are interested.
To do all of the achievements with minimal fuss, we need:
2 tanks(at least 1 with offspec dps)
3 heals (1 offspec dps), OR 2 super geared and experienced healers
2 ranged dps (minimum, not including the offspec healer)
3 dps (can be melee/ranged)
