Just one of those days

Seeing as how I’ve only started this blog a few days ago, I’m not having any problem coming up with content to post. Although I’m working on a fall back just in case that should ever happen, I don’t think it will. Better safe then sorry and all that.

Group 2 went back into Kara last night, sadly we didn’t get as far as we would have liked too, but I’m still proud of us. Took Maiden like the crazy redheaded bitch she is. We wiped once, due to a healer sleeping on the job. [Do you see what I did there!? *snicker*] Although we did get her down to 30%. The second time we went in, and WTFPWND her face in! It was very nice, we even got to shard an epic, which shouldn’t make me happy but it does because it means that nobody needed them.

Maiden:
Bracers of Justice picked up by nobody as they were sharded
Gloves of Quickening picked up by Orvil

After we downed Maiden we went back up for our shot at Aran. We had already downed Curator so there was no trash or anything for us to kill up until the library area. We did a couple pulls, downed some of the arcane protector guys and suddenly ET decided to have a heart attack. [Although some people think the chipmunk/hamster died.] It was bad, everyones latency went up to the 950s and we were dying and D/Cing all over the place. It was not a pretty sight.
Us on the ramp before clearing the library room.

Finally got our latency issues cleared up and were able to move up to Aran. No problems clearing the trash. Even had an epic drop Gripts of Deftness which I picked up for a feral set, eventually I’m going to be have a pretty nice set. As long as I keep getting guidance on it, since I’ve been a tree since I started.

We tried Aran but wiped twice, both times we got him down to 30%. [30 must have been our lucky number last night.] Although the fact that we got him down so far both times with what I was told was an unconventional group, is what makes me super proud! We had 2 hunters, 2 tank warriors, 2 resto druids, 1 holy priest, 1 mage and 1 shaman.

Decided to call it then, we’re not going to go back in tonight, instead we’re going to try MrT with the guild & then next week we’re going to only run 1 group since we had so much trouble this week. Hopefully in a few weeks we’ll be able to run 2 again, but for right now running 1 is what’s best for the guild.

Speaking of what’s best for the guild, we had a guildy leave because he was being deployed to Iraq. Everyone wished him well and told him to be safe. A few days later one of his RL friends joined the guild and accidentally spilled the beans that he was in fact at home, and hadn’t been deployed. The only reason he said that was because none of his RL friends were playing WoW anymore. That’s just shady. It was bad enough that a lot of our members were outraged, and it resulted in him getting kicked.

Also speaking of what’s best for the guild, I need to step up my game as a healer.

These are my stats in full raid buff. There’s a lot I need to work on so I’m working right now on a to do list for gear and such. I’m not sure where I’m going to get it yet, because I haven’t gotten that far into my research, but for a casual at least I’ve got my plans.

GEAR TO DO</big>

• Head enchant from HH [which means I'll have to get my rep up with HH - which means more SH runs]
• New Chest/Shoulders/Off Hand [Maybe get the OH from Moroes] [OH dropped on 4/15]
• Healing Enchant on Gloves & Mace [Could upgrade mace to PvP mace with a little bit of work]

Rated F: for frustrating

Had a hard time getting our Kara groups together last night, lots of frustration all around. Finally got Kara Group 1 off the ground and they did amazing. All the way to Nightbane I believe. Seeing as how I wasn’t in the raid I can’t like loot. I know they listed it in /g but I wasn’t really paying attention. Both groups are going back in tonight, and we’ll kick massive ass. It’s just what we do.

Tried to run MrT since KG2 wasn’t going in. Got through the first couple of pulls and died, decided we didn’t have enough CC and moved on.
As a guild we’re gonna try to run MrT on Monday. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

By the time we got out of MrT most of KG1 was feeling giggily, so a lot of hilarity ensued through /g and PSTS. Apparently JD was running around in my pants … and here I didn’t even know they were missing!

I really love my guild, it’s nice to know that even with some mild problems we can still be silly and laid back and still function as a family. It’s really odd to say that, but for the most part that’s how we function. Our guild is always there for one another, and always tries to keep things light hearted and fun. And still go in and WTFPWN faces!

Our MrT group decided to go into Heroic Mech. Couldn’t get in ’cause Kal didn’t have enough rep, but that didn’t stop us. We all zoned out and reset that bitch to regular. I have a love/hate with that instance. Okay mainly hate but still, you try running an inst 25+ times to get a piece of gear. Anyway did the rep run, only wiped once, and that was because of a fluke accident. Got the rep and was able to DE all the gear that dropped. OF COURSE as my luck would have it, yanno that one piece of gear I ran 25 times to get, it dropped the first time we were there. Moonglade Robe FTL! At least running the inst was easy since I could remember all the pulls and such.

Be gentle it’s my first time

Last night I had the pleasure of starting up and leading my first ever Kara raid. While it was a bit hectic I really did enjoy myself and was very pleased with my group, and with how smoothly things ran.

However I must give credit where credit is due, I would not have been able to organize my raid so successfully without the help of a few people. (At this current time I’m debating if I want to list them or not. I’m going with most likely not. However I know without a doubt who they are.)

No screen caps from last night, lets face it I was too lazy and most of the time I couldn’t stop laughing, as there were balls flying everywhere, and we were too busy sacrificing hunters to the Opera gods.

Moroes & his dinner guests

Baroness Dorothea Millstipe (Shadow Priest)
Baron Rafe Dreuger (Retribution Paladin)
Lady Keira Berrybuck (Holy Paladin)
Lord Robin Daris (Arms Warrior)

Everyone went down with little trouble. Had a bit of a problem at first with some death and destruction, okay mainly death on our part but still. We got our loot and had some fun so that’s all that mattered.

He dropped:
Shadow-Cloak of Dalaran which was picked up by: Tabes
Edgewalker Longboots which was picked up by: Tarina (yours truly this will make an excellent addition to my feral kitty set)

After downing Moroes we debated on where we would go next, and after a few minutes of conversation, and more ball throwing, we decided that with our group build we’d be best heading for Opera. Cleared the trash there fairly well, had only one casualty the whole time (Sorry Orvil!) and proceeded.

Since we were lacking in rouges, we decided the best way to figure what event we had would be to sacrifice a hunter. Prin and Orvil debated about it for awhile, in the end though Prin went and took one for the team. She stripped off all her gear minus her green shirt & guild tabard and went and started the event. Found out we had Romulo & Julianne and she FD’d beautifully. Once she announced over vent that she was busy laying naked on the stage we all ran in and rebuffed. [By the way I'd like to note: that naked hunters lying on the stage are my favorite kind of hunters ]

Opera: Romulo & Julianne
The event went down super smooth. I think only 1 death, which I believe was Sweed [My little nublet!] and that was easily taken care of because we had 2 druids who could BR. There might have been another death which I think was Lir, and I BR’d him but that might have been another fight. Anyway I digress.

They dropped:
Ribbon of Sacrifice which was picked up by Tabes
Masquerade Gown which was picked up by Tabes as well

Next event was Curator, after losing Cent who was our mage for the night, we pulled in Haydeez for some rouge dpsin’.

Curator
Got there no problem and the fight went off without a hitch.

He dropped:
Gloves of the Fallen Champion which was picked up by Kal
Pauldrons of the Solace-Giver which was picked up by Drunkmos for vendor trash since nobody needed it and we didn’t have anyone who could DE it.

Decided to call it after that since it was getting late and people had to go. We go in again tonight to do Aran and anything else we feel like taking on.

Group 2 Kara raid list: [Mainly for my own benefit]
Kal, Orvil, Prin, Drunk, Krac, Chrol, Lir, Tabes, Haydeez, Evil, Tarina, Cent, Sweed
