We have some people who are very casual. I suggest a casual weekend raid.
This.
I want in on this, but Thursday, Friday, OR Saturday night is going to be my regular "online and able to play SWTOR" night. I am flexible in that I can choose ONE of these nights and play that night. My wife has dropped the hammer-foot and said I can only play ONE night a week for any length of time. (I'll be on for 10 to 15 min here and there the other days checking my GTN auctions though, if you wanna chat me up).
If we choose the hardcore people's raid night to be Thurs night, then I will be able to be a part of that. If not, then if we choose either Friday or Saturday night as the casual Raid night then I'll be able to be a part of that.
If RI chooses Tues or Wed as hardcore raid night I MIGHT MIGHT MIGHT be able to convince the wife to let me raid, but it's a hail Mary pass with 1 second on the clock, in the fourth quarter, and we have possession with the ball on our 20 yard line and we are losing by 5 points.
If we choose Sunday as casual night, and Tues or Wed as raiding night and I can't convince the wife then, well, I'll see ya when I see ya I guess. Here I come PUGgies! I'll try not to /cry as I PUG Heroics.
I am tank now, and most of my gear is tank, but if we are full up on Tanks I *suppose* I could respec DPS, but it would be me taking a hit for the team as I love my BH Tank.
