My first raid epic

Sooner or later it had to happen, I went on a raid and actually won an epic item in the loot distribution. We went to MC, and Lucifron dropped the Gauntlets of Might. Three warriors needed it, master looter called "roll!", and I rolled a 34. So I thought I had lost, but the other two guys obliged by rolling an 18 and a 23, and I got the first raid epic of my long World of Warcraft career.

More warrior stuff dropped later, but we had a simple "if you win one epic, don't roll on another one" loot policy on that raid, and I passed on everything else. Statistics being strange, as usual, this time lots of warrior stuff dropped. The might pants were rolled on by two warriors, with one of them beating the other with a roll of 11 to 8.

We did okay without any DKP system. We are doing raids with other guilds on an irregular basis, and working out a loot system between three guilds with different numbers of participants is too complicated to be worth it. The "don't roll for more than 1 epic per raid" system is easy and works well enough for the purpose.

Grats Tobold!
 
By the way, I think that is called the "Suicide Kings" system. Lots of guilds use a much more structured version of that in place of dkp. In Suicide Kings, the first on the list get dibs on the next class drop, and when he gets something, drops to the bottom of the list. If he passes on an item, the next guy gets dibs, and so on until someone on the list wants the item, at which point that person drops to the bottom of the list. This list is preserved across raids.
 
Nice mate - glad you won something! (FINALY!! ;) )
