Raid Materials

For raiding, in general, Flasks are better than elixirs. Elixirs are more situational than anything else and will be dependent on battle. So we need to concentrate on flasks.

Abbreviations:

AV - Azshara's Veil
CB - Cinderbloom
HB - Heartblossom
SV - Stormvine
TJ - Twilight Jasmine
WT - Whiptail

VL - Volatile Life

Primary Flasks

Flask of the Winds - +300 Agility - hunter, rogue, enh shaman
Flask of Titanic Strength - + 300 Strength - Mdps
Flask of the Draconic Mind - + 300 Intellect - caster dps
Flask of Flowing Water - + 300 Spirit - healer
Flask of Steelskin - +450 Stamina - tank - basic buff, changes with fight

Potions (major)

Mythical Healing Potion
Mythical Mana Potion

Elixirs

Prismatic Elixir - + 90 magic resistance - situational, good for tank mainly, but sometimes whole raid

Potions (minor) - highly situational, emergency dps/heal/survivabilty

Golemblood - +1200 Strength for 25 sec
Tol'vir - +1200 Agility for 25 sec
Volcanic - +1200 Intellegence for 25 sec
Earthen - +4800 Armor for 25 sec
Speed - (WotLK) - +500 haste for 15 sec
Wild Magic - (WotLK) - +200 Crit and Spell Power for 15 sec.

Other:

Deathblood Venom - reguired with 1 of each major flask (except Flowing water) for Cauldron of Battle


With this in mind, we need to concentrate on Primary flasks and Potions (major) to get started raiding, all others should wait until we have a good stock of these.


Therefore for mats we need (in order of most required)

Volitile LIfe - required by most, need a lot
Whiptail
Cinderbloom
Twilight Jasmine
Azshara's Veil
Stormvine
Heartblossom


For Alchemists using mats, please concentrate on making flasks, until we have a good stock, even to the point of not making anything even if we have mats for it, but not a flask
