Ala’kir Down

Jul3

Last night we got down Ala’kir, but I did not get my shattered title since I never did Throne of Tides heroic.  Go figure!

Afterwards we went to Firelands and tried Shannox.  Fun fight, I liked it a lot.  We got him to 400k once, but people getting trapped in crystal traps too much, really put a damper on things.  If you have to spend 30 seconds dpsing a crystal trap, plus the person inside isn’t doing anything for that one, it’s hard to recover from.  One a fight is ok but it seemed 2 or more, you may as well just wipe.  I got caught in one in several attempts well after midnight but that was it.

One of the healers in the group seems to have continual computer problems though.  They are lagging, disconnecting, going random afk without saying anything, etc.  It’s a little frustrating to wipe on a boss then find out your healer was afk because they were outside yelling at a dog or something without mentioning it.  This is probably why most raids have rules about afking like that.

Somewhat Bitey

“Baby turtles are sweet, even if they can be somewhat bitey”.  Oh my gosh whoever wrote Mylune’s dialog is brilliant!  And that leads to the quest, Punting Season, where you punt baby turtles back into the water.

and another quest runs you into this guy again

I’ve done about 12 marks of the world tree so far.  I’ve had a lot more time to get misc stuff done since I’m not on a regular raiding schedule any more.

Mage T11

This week I was invited to team 3’s raid where we had planned on clearing out all raids.  We did all of BoT and I got the shoulders from Cho’gall, got a spirit helm (crown of burning waters) which was a massive upgrade from the 346 blue I still had, got a nice crit trinket  (Bell of Enraging Resonance) I will use when I make a frost raid spec (arcane is so boring) and we cleared all of BWD.

It’s kind of like Wrath all over again when I finally got the LK down after so many fails where it’s like, that was it? Granted it has been nerfed, so it’s easier but I can definitely say whatever went wrong the other times, it wasn’t healers causing the trouble.  And now finally, all my gear MATCHES!

We should be trying for Ala’kir tomorrow.  That will be interesting since I’ve only ever healed, and on the Rohash platform.

Victory or Whatever

Jun30

My shaman was already in it, but last night I joined Victory or Whatever on my priest too. Everyone seems ok, when people ask to run a group there’s not just dead air, the bank is full of useful items arranged nearly, etc. No idea if I’ll be raiding because I can’t see doing it with Arkwin, ever, but I don’t even care right now.

Vash’jir

Jun29

So continuing from yesterday, I had an Ahune group with my priest where we wiped once after still not getting him down on the 3rd phase, then a second attempt where on the 4th he was at 40% and regenning. Left that one, got another and got it.

then picked up again on the Thrall quest where a giant version of him is being beaten up by doubts again.

and this one showed up where he’s wishing he could make peace.  Well, if that happens, who will I get to kill? I mean, someone needs killing.

Then it was off to the earth version of this where I was nice and left the horde alone.  This one you got to travel underground again like another quest out here that I can’t quite recall.

Then we’re off to Firelands where Thrall is on fire and you have to defend Aggra’s totems.  I joined up with two mages and killed a bunch of horde, and nearly died to a warrior, but other alliance helped peel him off me.  I’ve been getting a beat down by warriors quite a bit in fact, ran into THREE in TB that teamed up and killed me, and one persistent, difficult one by the name of Isenguard gave me a real hard time.  Was impressed honestly.

and, we saved Thrall and he proposes to his woman. Aww?  Meh orcs.

Anyway, I know this guy is a blue dragon and all,  but why can’t the human males look this decent, instead of retarded cave men?
