3/2 Thursday....

[telva]

so I think I drank too much beer last night. I woke up this morning with a splitting headache that will not go away. It isn't like I got drunk last night, but it probably didn't do my body any good to go for a run, come home, and immediately pop a cold one....

Sad to say, but I really don't have much to talk about today. I mean last night we went to BWL and had a blast. If not for some overly aggressive warrior with this damn orange hammer we wiped once too many time on Vael, Firemaw learned2resist taunts we wiped once too many times on him, and the general crappiness of the retrieving character list, we didn't get a shot at Ebon00b last night. However, I think with 2 MS tanks these days, we will end up owning him and then Flamegoer won't even be funny. Yes I am more confident than usual, but come on Flamegoer doesn't even belong in BWL except for the damn shadowflame.

So I keep saying it, but with MVB, Gadi, and Bel all respec'd more DPS I gotta do it, just to make myself look respectable. Even though I beat out Zeph on the damage charts last night, it is high time I pack a little more punch. Since my wisdom is highly limited, Ima request that the above 3 post their spec so I can over analyze it over the next day and respec sometime tomorrow afternoon.

Btw, grats to the winners last night. We got some great BoP and I know Zeph is happy in the pants. Ralex came back from vacation to get a sexy claw. And I got my first piece of the warrior DPS gear from BWL, now to win the Helm! (Of course the Wrath Shoulders are top on the wish list, but those are a pipe dream since I have a feeling they won't drop for a while)

[Thibor]

Heal Telva?

What did Zeph get?

Well time to go to work, see you all later :D

[telva]

Zeph got her Doom's Edge last night...yay!

And do you know what rocks? Coming to work and finding out that you get a 7.5% raise! Woot!

[Jedic]

And do you know what rocks? Coming to work and finding out that you get a 7.5% raise! Woot!

Or coming to work and finding out that you have an early dismissal because of snow!! 4 more hours of WoW time!

I had a blast last night... This was the first time I'd been through the first 4 bosses in a single run and I continue to be amazed at the quality of everyone's play!

[Thibor]

Nice!!! go go a lot of beer!

Drink some for meh!

Gratz Zeph

[Waibanez]

I hit 40, and got my mechanical chicken last night...WTB plate :D

I have 2 pieces so far, hehe

[Shifta]

He was a boy of soft demeanor And he loved his caburetor cleanerThe vapor made a sweet aroma He sniffed himself into a coma

Lacquer head feeds his one desire
Lacquer head sets his brain on fire
Lacquer head knows no inbetweens
Huffin' on bags of gasoline

Keep on sniffin' till yer brain goes pop

I just noticed your sig... cool! Who quotes Primus?

Out of curiosity - how long from zoning into BWL the first time until Firemaw kill? I think we usually stop after Broodlord, but I haven't been to a 3-drakes kill yet - so I'm no expert.

[telva]

I will hit 43 tonight at least. This of course assumes Mike doesn't schedule an impromptu raid or anything crazy like that.

I plan on killing elite Ogres in Arathi tonight until we do Uldaman if you would care to join me Waib. I learned I can solo them yesterday so mega XP for me ftw!

[telva]

Well last night isn't a good judge because of log in lag issues but we killed the first 4 bosses in about 3.5 hours anyway. Last week we kill the first 6 bosses in 5 hours, but that was a first for us.

[Hatchetface]

Tonight is our first attempt on Razorgore (we tried to enter BWL last week, but our raid ID was screwed up and some of us ended up in the instance with DOOM--how crazy is that?!). Any tips/suggestions?

[Hobben]

Hey you guys should slow down with those alts, I got a 39 hunter id love to start lvling again :)

hob

[Waibanez]

Slow Down? Ha? My alt just began bud :)

Go back 2 weeks and read the thursday story :)

Don't do the kiting crap. Split your raid into 4 groups (1+2, 3+4, 5+6, 7+8), distribute rogues/mages/warlocks/warriors/priests/shamans evenly among the 4 groups.

Have a player who can dump aggro - rogue maybe - on the orb, but more importantly a player who is very smart and skilled to minimize learning time on how to orb it up. Each corner tags through melee attack and ganks every single orc legionnaire or mage that comes out. Druids and Hunters hang out in the center at start, and druids spread for each corner sleep the first dragon to come out. After that, Hunters pickup and start kiting remaining dragonkin (12 total will spawn, so basically 12-# of druids will have to be hunter kited). No heals except light HoT should be given to the hunters or the druids - reason being it can pull aggro off the hunters, and lead a train of dragonkin into the healer and his corner.

If any corner fails, you whipe. This is much more manageable, though, than the kiting strat (IMO) and can be learned and mastered in far fewer whipes. It's also probably a lot more fun for the non-kiters.

For those who do kite, in any regard, use the ramps. Dragons/orcs have to path down the ramps normally, whereas you can jump off the center. Hunters should pick up dragons and run up the ramp with them in tow, then jump off the center and sprint to the far ramp to repeat. Each time the dragons will get up the ram pand then have to turn around and path back down it normally, giving your kiters the space they need.

[telva]

I am not sure if the earthbind totems will break sleep, but if they don't, they are a must from the shammy's in the corners. This will keep the mobs from running into other corners and overwhelming them.

Also you will be tasked with tanking more than one mob, are you up to it?

[Waibanez]

They do have earthbind totem...heard it made the encounter easy-mode

[Jedic]

I plan on killing elite Ogres in Arathi tonight until we do Uldaman if you would care to join me Waib. I learned I can solo them yesterday so mega XP for me ftw!

I'd like to join you also... I have the book quest there on my lvl 40 priest... and I'm always up for good xp!

[Hatchetface]

Also you will be tasked with tanking more than one mob, are you up to it?

Tank more than one at a time? OMG--HOW??? :help:

[Waibanez]

I'd like to join you also... I have the book quest there on my lvl 40 priest... and I'm always up for good xp!
I'll tank

HEALMEH BISHES!

[telva]

psssh...I just said I can solo them, I don't need no stinking tank!

Plus I tanked Kurzen so I proved myself, at least to Zeph.

[Hobben]

Is it sad that this thread has so many posts, so early in the morning?

Anyway, if im on tonight id love to kill stuff with you guys on my hunter (hobhunt). I know the name isn't very orginal but hey if you nice to me I might even log hobben and help you through uldaman if you dont have a full group :)

hob

[telva]

You and Zeph are like two peas in a pod

[Waibanez]

I like you already hob :)

And Telva and I? we're troll brothers...he's just the longwinded one :)

[Shifta]

Each corner tags through melee attack and ganks every single orc legionnaire or mage that comes out.

Do you AoE or FF?

[telva]

FF, AoE runs the risk of unsleeping the dragons. The dragons are the real killas since only hunters can really kite them and tanking them hurts. I had to kite some last night and even if you jump off the steps, they catch up in a hurry.

[telva]

RL update:

I will be leaving for the land down under about the 7th of April and return the weekend of the 1st of May. So Hobben (or Healmeh) you better learn to spam sunder and HS really soon.

[MVB]

We don't bother AE'ing. I say with some pride that HotC's raiders are the best I've been with, and I've raided everywhere from UBRS to ZG etc. with WR, OR, MoS, etc. before. Of course I'm biased, but my point is with direct fire, our corners are capable of obliterating most of the orcs before they stack up. Near the end if we get sketchy the orb controller uses a flamestrike on his last egg period and we chain intim shout and loh.

That being said, yesterday we didn't even need a flamestrike. Basically, everything got wtfpwned.

NO ae for the reason stated - there are dragonkin a) being kited through your corner, and b) being slept in your corner. AE runs the high risk of breaking the AE or stealing the dragonkin off the hunters. Just stay on top of things with a solid group of players and you'll never have more than 2-3 orcs up in any corner at a time.

[Thibor]

W00t time to go visit all the HotC down under folks. have a WTF Aussie BBQ

[Waibanez]

mmmmm BBQ :) Telva, you'll need to help with the upping of the gear when we get there! :)

[telva]

I will have to have my own gear up'd while I am gone n00b...so MC for Healmeh....BWL for my toon :p

Plus my rogue will need new gear so DM ftw for a while.

[Waibanez]

lol I dont think mike would want me playing you in BWL :P

[MVB]

So I just found out I may get sent to Vegas next week, for a week.
O.o

Don't we have members in Vegas or something?

[Waibanez]

So BTW for the people who live in the baltimore virginia area...I will probably be there May7th-8th and the following week...perhaps we can get a get together? I'll be staying in Baltimore to visit with a friend and probably heading to DC one of the days...and then going to staying with my cousin at Fort Eustis? (Sp)

[MVB]

We will assuredly have to hang out.

Do you like animals? I'm an interactive encyclopedia to take along to the National Aquarium.

Otherwise there's a million other things to do as well.

The only worry I have is there's a slight infinitesimal possibility that the weekend you mention will see me in Indiana for the graduation of my younger brother (finally) from college ... fittingly, while his graduation ceremonies are going on at Marian College, he'll be "receiving" his diploma on a baseball field at the conference championships.

[Waibanez]

haha...what a weird mixup...I live in Indiana :P Near Southbend...bout an hour away from Notre Dame..and an hour and a half away from Purdue :D

WHAT??? You better believe we're gonna have a get-together, you foo'! We're close to B'more (maybe 10 miles) and would love to take you out to see the sights. The weather will be getting nicer and well, Asa & I would love to visit with you.

I think we should get the gang together that weekend for some fun & frolicking. Not a Tues or Thurs night (school), but any other night I can make time for you.

I'm excited! Woot!

[Evelynn]

/Fondles my...err yeah

Paladins don't have one...that's why there epic mounts have those long horns; it's to make up for what they're lacking.

[MVB]

So maybe you're both right.

[Waibanez]

My dad had a minivan in the same shade. He was embarassed to drive it anywhere because it was the girliest fekking car in the world.

To compensate for his girly "family car", he went and bought himself a convertible, lol.

[Waibanez]

I love the gas mileage

[Evelynn]

I love the gas mileage

I got good gas mileage off my rusty, screaming death trap too.

87 Pontiac Sunbird ftw...it was brown though, eww.

[Zephonia]

<3 my Beetle and driving 350 miles on one tank of gas.

[telva]

Damn Eve that car is older than Zeph!

[Waibanez]

lol, Telva FTW, FTW I get 320-350 off my tank due to commuting

[Zephonia]

Legal ftw.

[Evelynn]

Damn Eve that car is older than Zeph!

It was as old as I am, rofl.

Unfortunately it died :( Then I drove a stupid girly Neon for awhile, but I gave it back to my dad after the recent issues, so now I need a new car :/

[telva]

bah I get 320 on a tank in the Citeh!

Just because your legal doesn't mean you put out.

[Cammy]

Cars? I love Cars! My dad owns a 62 Chevy Nova, bright red soft-top, kick ass summer car.

[Waibanez]

:D

[Zephonia]

Maybe if I save up enough over the summer, I can afford the down payment on a beetle convertible.

[Cammy]

So at around what time is this "uldy' run? since I think im taking you n00bs I need a rough time at which to get on :P

[Waibanez]

So at around what time is this "uldy' run? since I think im taking you n00bs I need a rough time at which to get on :P
