So it is Monday, the day after the day of rest. You would think that if Sunday is the day of rest, on Monday one would feel rested. What horses&*t. Monday is always the worst day because you end up staying up later on Friday and Saturday and therefore it is harder to get to sleep on Sunday. Well that and running through BWL till midnight.
First off, I hope Thibz is feeling better. He is a man to have stuck it out as long as he did. Then again, that whole lay down and rest thing when aren't feeling good has never worked for me. I will lay down for about 30 secs before I realize that it isn't working. But, I have problems sleeping when I am sick anyway. I get repetitive nightmares where I do the silly mind-numbing jobs over and over. For instance, when I was younger I was an usher at a movie theather where basically all I did was tear tickets. So when I got sick, I would dream that I was at work tearing ticket after ticket. It is fine when you are at work, but to have to go through it while you are sleeping is horrible.
Congrats to the rogues last night, well 2 of them anyway. Ex-rogues will be happy to hear that Firemaw dropped both the gloves and the claw last night and zero 'lock loot dropped. Congrats to Leri and Blacksoul respectively.
You know, last night turned out to be a good night of raiding even though it started out bad. I mean who wipes 2 times before the first boss is "pulled" especially when there is no trash before it? Then we tried our best to ruin the last attempt of the evening with a weird unplanned body pull, but we kept it together and actually made a decent attempt of it.
I learned a couple of things about spellbinders.....#1 Darth Vader, I mean Blacksoul does a helluvalot of damage and him getting that claw last night is only going to make it worse (better). Along with him and 2 hunters (and our healers of course) we were able to down a spellbinder before the rest of the raid took down a dragon. #2 Fire gear is the way to tank spellbinders. Their flamestrike is their major damage dealer, their melee attack is really weak in comparison. #3 To make life easier for everyone, keep the spellbinders stunned. Rogues use kidney shot and tanks use concussive blow, pally stuns don't work because they are magic. Stunning them keeps them from using polymorph ftw.
Thanks to everyone and the leadership for allowing me to learn to smelt elementium. I have a feeling I will be doing this daily...ya wtf ever! Do you realize what it takes to make that stuff? Black and I were having a discussion about which is easier to get, the elementium ore or the fiery core needed to smelt. That doesn't include the 3 elementium flux (at least I think that is what it is called) which I think goes for 20g a pop, might be 15g with the right rep. Did I mention that it takes 10 arcanite bars as well? I knew it was legendary stuff, but I figured it was because you needed epic ore to smelt. Gadi I will keep providing you with crystals as long as I get to be the smelter :p
So Ebronroc will be going down soon. The fight isn't that hard, but the tanks have to get their timing down. We had it for a while, but then we ran out of tanks at the end. Hopefully we will be going back tonight to put him in a coffin because I want him dead then again Ebonroc is alot more appealing than core farming.
This week's secondary BWL goal....zero wipes on trash. We only had one last night which is alot better than previous encounters, so keep it up.
Finally, I want to throw another shout out to RS. Their alliance (which is hopefully disolving) downed Rags last night. So IIRC they down both Rags and Ony for the first time this weekend. They are making huge progress at end game content so we better get a move on. For those of you who don't know, RS is my old guild and a few of their members (Zoe, Cenati, and Nynaeve) come to BWL with us as fill ins.
