    Ok, here's some thoughts about consumables from the perspective of an alchemist:

    1) Flasks require Frost Lotus. Frost Lotus is rare and not cheap, anywhere upwards of 40 gold as of this writing. Most herb/alch combinations generally do not sell any Frost Lotus they find, simply because they get used themselves. The only way to acquire Frost Lotus, other then buying on the AH, is through farming, and it is generally more time-efficient to do dailies and purchase then to farm. Which is why they're expensive.

    2) Some classes definitely see the most benefit from using a flask for every situation. Others... may not.

    3) Case in point: Average flask prices currently are about 35 gold, with most of that cost in the FL (one FL makes 2 flasks). For casters, they *may* benefit nearly as much from using a combination of a +spell power and a +mana regen elixir. Compare: Frost Wyrm is +125 sp (at 35 gold). Flask of Pure Mojo is +38 mp5 (at 35 gold). You choose ONE of those, for 1 hour.

    4) OR... 1 Spellpower Elixir is +58 sp (2-3 gold) plus 1 Mighty Mageblood is +24 mp5 (at 4 gold) also lasts for one hour. Total of 7 gold.

    So... unless you are dealing with serious min/maxing issues, and ASSUMING 2 deaths in the first hour (therefore 6 elixirs - 3 of each), you are looking at 21 gold vs. 35 gold, and without consuming a rare drop, vs. consuming stuff that most herbalists should be able to give away.

    I'm just suggesting that especially for content that *should* be on a farm status, it may be sufficient to use two elixirs instead of using a flask, at a significant cost savings.

    Flasks, obviously, last through death. Elixirs don't. We don't have anything on farm yet. Buying, and using, flasks should be considered part of raid preparation. At this point, we need every edge we can get.

    Anyone unwilling to do the dailies that would allow them to have the cash necessary to buy flasks should consider whether or not raiding is for them. No one should be exempt or expect the raid to furnish supplies for them.

    Just my opinion.

    Greetings everyone,

    Due to some unforeseeable events in real life I am going to be away from the game for a few days. I will at the very least be missing the Tuesday night run this week. Depending on how things go I may be delayed even further and I'll have someone contact in game if it comes to that. I am sorry for the late notice. I'll let you know just as soon as I can when I will be back.

    Kalea please take care of the bunny spam for me, I know you guys can't raid without it! ;)

    Can I just thump heads instead? With bunnies instead of my hammer?

    Do what you need to do, Tizaria. We'll miss you and your bunnies until you return.

    As I told you tonight when we talked, Warcraft should be a place that's fun for you. I totally understand you, and Xeno, want to go where the rest of your family, and family to be, is playing.

    Remmetta, you were a valued member of this community, and our raids. I'm so glad I got to know you.

    Good luck to you both!

    *hugs*

    Tuesday night the hate meter got ramped up way too far. I know this group is capable of humor that doesn't involve the public ridicule and shredding of other raid members like a pack of piranha.

    If Kailand wants Tyrandius to run the mod that lets us know if we screw up, that's fine, but let's not ride the raid member that stumbles like a tired pony.

    Dig deep and let's make tonight the relaxing, fun experience that raiding with this group can be.
