Just to try and get a rough idea of how close everyone is to readiness... well, how close is everyone?
Whilst basically having a set of T2 Expert equivalent-or-better gear is a pretty decent target, DPS also need to bear in mind the hit/focus caps; the character sheet in-game says 200, but according to Masia it's actually 220 to fully avoid enemy resists/misses in a Tier 1 Raid encounter.
To get a reasonable idea of where you're at, it'd be worth getting hold of an in-game DPS meter (or one of the external parsers, whatever floats your boat) and participating in a Daily Raid Rift group from Level 50 chat; raid rifts are basically Tier 1 raids with a chance for the Guardians to dick on you and try to tag your mobs
At this point it'd be shiny if someone could have a look around for what sort of figures we should be looking at for entry-level raid DPS so people have something to compare to. Support needn't worry too much, as long as they're hit/focus-capped and know their stuff well enough to keep their tasty, tasty buffs rolling. As for healers... um... I guess the ability to keep Aymasia/Kelvarus alive during some of their sillier pulls in T2 Experts is a good starting point?
Anyhoo, if people could shout here that they're ready, or how far off they are, so we can get an idea of what we have yet to do. I know we won't have a full guild-only 10-man group, but we can at least make sure that the people we have are completely ready before we half-inch a couple of folk from 50-chat to try Gilded Prophecy/Drowned Halls.
