A Rarity…

September 11, 2006 - Posted in the World of Warcraft category -

A couple nights ago, we took a trip through AQ40. The amazing thing is… we didn’t disenchant a SINGLE piece of loot. I think this is the first time this has happened ever. Even the first time we kill Skeram, we disenchanted something. I dunno about you, but that just screams failed instance design to me. We took down the Twin Emporers again. Took a couple tries, but we actually did it without reaching the Enrage timer this time (had about 45 seconds left). I also picked up my Badge of the Swarmguard off of Sartura. Only had a couple tries testing it, but it seems to work great. Instead of a 950 crit autoshot, i was getting a 1100 crit autoshot with 6 full debuffs.

How goes the C’Thun battle?

Aeigelus - September 11, 2006 -

We are going to skip C’Thun, and work on Naxx until we get to Patchwerk or so, then come back to C’Thun. Took a guild vote, and the majority of people wanted Naxx over C’Thun.

I’m back! I looked for you on Sunday, but you must not have been on yet. My priest is still exploring the woods around the Scarlet Monastery.

I can’t wait until the expansion comes out, though. I’d like to try a new class and race on.

Gitr! Caught you online last night. Good to see you around again :) You really should level a toon on BL. We’ve got a good group of guys I know, that run all the 60 instances a lot. We need a 5th though :) 4 manning this stuff is getting a little tough with the alts :D

I know man, and the feedback’s appreciated, but the thing about advice is if you ask two different people you get two different pieces of advice. To quote Arcazua from the Survivability VS DPS argument:

“A hunter in NR should stack their gear so they still have a chance to hit. If that means putting an Accurascope on a Fahrad’s and keeping their Band of Accuria on, sobeit. I don’t have many issues missing tranqs, but honestly, because of Huhu’s frenzy rate, we have hunters fire at least 2 at a time. It would take some pretty bad odds for them to BOTH miss a tranq. (And do you really have a legitimate reason not to double up? You will have at least 4 hunters, and the goal of the early part of the fight isn’t to burn through your mana to DPS her.) Besides, do you really mean to tell me that it’s better to NOT wear resist gear on the Huhuran fight because you might miss a frenzy with nobody to back you up, and then die early on in the last 30% when your DPS actually counts for something? “

A completely different tactic I think you’ll agree. And yet he’s downed Huhuran as well, and a few of the tactics I’ve read up on all suggest that Hunters don NR gear as well. So all in all, I’m gonna be prepared for whichever way our raid leader decides to do it.

Also, I ‘m not sure what you mean about “Sponge class”. Maybe you can spare Shamans for the fight, but we need our Paladins and Druids for healing/cleansing and I’m not sure if Mages or Locks can wear enough NR to make it worth our while putting them in the meat wall.

Oh, and one other thing:

“If you can’t take advice/criticism, then don’t ask for help.”

I wasn’t “asking for help”, I was thanking my friends. :)

At the end of the day, I was observing a phenomenon which wasn’t restricted to my blog, and certainly wasn’t restricted to your comments and posts. I’m sure when Thahuntress and 0gami asked for advice on their threads at TKASomething, (both clearly at the MC level) they weren’t inviting people to start arguing about how much FR’s actually needed for Firemaw. :)

I will probably stick with my undead priest on BL. He’s just about 20 minutes away from level 10 and getting Rez. I think his name is Deadr. Deadr than what? Dunno. He’s already got a basically unlimited mana pool when grinding. Once the gear gets some +INT and +SPI, look out. That’s what I did with Priestr on Sen’jin.

The whole horde thing is very slowing for me, because it takes forever to find vendors and such for an all-Alliance player. I think I can get most of my stuff done in Undercity now.

I’ll play some Deadr Saturday morning.
