telva

So last night I told Waib to make the post of the day because my rant yesterday didn't drum up much interest. But sitting here this morning I can't help myself. It is like an addiction, well it is part of my morning routine, and I just don't feel right not making it. (What it really boils down to, is if I wait for Waib to make this post, there will be no action on these forums until after 9am and that is just unacceptable).
So first of all, I want to say thanks to Stats for all the help. I am not sure if changing video drivers or clearing my addons folder and only reinstalling ctraid and equipmanager (that's right, I no longer have group calendar) did the trick but I had zero problems in BWL last night. Let's hope it is a permanent fix and not just a Telva got lucky.
So what did we do last night? We totally wtf owned BWL up until Firemaw. Well I take that back, the Razorgore kill was a little sketchy. Lag spikes and general chaos led to a very interesting kill, too bad I wasn't around to see the end of it (I plead the 5th on why I wasn't around).
HOWEVER, Vael was our dragon bish last night. It took us two attempts, the first attempt took the flamer to 1% and only an ill timed dot at the beginning kept him from going down. The second attempt was a thing of pure unadulterated beauty. I am proud to say that none of the tanks fuxored up last night and every transition was hit beautifully. Well I can't say beautifully because, and I am not laying blame here, Fel somehow grabbed aggro before Bal on the first attempt but whateva. What makes me wonder most about that is I gave Bal a freaking mongoose pot to ensure he could do lots of damage because he should have been the last tank on Vael (Fel shouldn't have had to tank just DPS) and he still couldn't keep Fel from stealing aggro.
Do we even need to mention the Broodlord? I mean he got tanked so hard he didn't know what hit him. IIRC we had 2 deaths the entire fight, both tanks (Fel and Bal, Fel got the battle rez). The other quality thing.....no one stole aggro who wasn't supposed to. So we basically had the perfect Broodlord kill. Grats to HotC.
I am not going to dwell on Firemaw. We still have some LOS issues to work on, but I think more Ony cloaks on the healers will solve that problem. I stand by my belief that the cloak makes you immune to the shadowflame dot and therefore, cloaks wearers have 2 things to worry about...1) stay out of the frontal cone because as Wislok found out when my self-bandaging drew aggro (WTF was that about) he took the Shadow Flame breath for like 4K damage and 2) go out of LOS when you flame buffet stacks too high.
(So leadership, if you can take the hint, we need to do Ony tonight :) )
So Kord got his PvP weapon last night. This means it is high time to get it enchanted. How are we planning on doing this? Scarlet Strat runs out the a$$. Yes because Waib's twink run took all of 32 minutes, we are going to run the hell out of Scarlet to collect some righteous orbs. Right now we need a total of 4 (2 for Kord and 2 for some other putz), if anyone else is interested in joining us for the blitz, let us know, especially if you need orbs, or just want to make lots of $$ on orbs after those that need them have already gotten them. This run also serves the guild because we are in search of the recipe to make flasks of wisdom or some such thing that drops off the last boss. So come have fun with the "Co".
I am sad in the pants. You see, when Hatchet reached his rank, it meant he would be playing his pally more often. He kept saying his pally would never go higher than 29. I assumed he would crack on this but he seems to be steadfast. Life would be much more enjoyable if he leveled up to 60. Can you imagine the killing machine I would be if I had Waib, Lard, and Poindexter all "HEAL SIR TELVA NOW"?
Speaking of that, grats to Mike on his new helm. It is a sad day when someone with 27 MVPs gets out rolled on anything, but Mike managed to pull it off. Oh yea he had 24....Either way, now that he has this uber PvP helm, he better be joining us in AB on weekends more often or that sexy helm will be going to waste.
Ok enough rambling, I need to go work and decide how to spend my 30 MVPs. I will kick myself every day knowing that I would have 6 MVPs right now had I rolled on the stupid boots :)
Which reminds me, any miners out there with Arcane Crystals please help the guild and Gadi out by sending them to Zeph. We got 2 more pieces of elementium ore last night which means 2 more bars once we have enough crystals. Gadi only needs 69 more crystals (once all debts are paid) and the other binding before he has the guild's first legendary weapon.
