Saurfang is sour!

Alright, so we are progressing through the lower wing of ICC-10. We are pretty comfortable, for the most part with Lord Marrowgar, Lady Deathwhisper, and the gunship battle...but this menacing DK is a 'bloody' pain. We know he will go down soon, thats why we call it 'progression' and we will get it together soon enough.

Last nights run saw us roll smoothly through LD and the gunship battle, but we got stuck on Deathbringer (and he did just that) Saurfang.

Notable loot I won tonight was a trinket that was on the top of my wish list:

1. Muradin's Spyglass: True, its more of a caster trinket; and I did make sure the main spec'd casters didn't want to roll before I rolled on it. Very pleased I was able to obtain this.

well, that is all for now. I am also trying very hard to level my cooking up w/o havign to go to Gadz to talk to a goblin that I know will want to throatpunch me.

ICC "stabbing westward"

The guild has been running ICC-10 lately and we are nearly dispatching of Saurfang. The other bosses have proven to be worthy adversaries...one in particular, Lord Marrowgar. He has been noted as being a 'gear check' for most guilds or raiders in general. For the most part we have got his mechanics down and move thru him nicely. The second boss, Lady Deathwhisper was taken down on Jan 10. Her headache mainly comes with her minions and such. As far as the third encounter, The Gunship Battle--a rather interesting twist on 'boss encounters'. Its pretty straight forward, so as long as we don't stand in the 'nicely marked rocket targets on the ground' we should be fine...who doesn't like rocket propelled jet packs?

Not long ago, not sure if I made mention, but I took my second spec back to shadow and plan to stay there. I have had more opportunity to do dps in 5-mans and consistently push 2.8-3k dps.

New gear additions, and I'm guessing this is new to anyone reading:

1. Cord of the Patronizing Practitioner
2. Volde's Cloak of the Night Sky

I have been appointed to Healing adviser for my guild. I have some awesome support with me on the Healing advisory team. We will strive to make confident healers out of anyone that presents interest. Farewell for now.

happy new years!

whoa! looks like ive not made a post in a while...my apologies, but I don't know if anyone reads these so I will entertain myself.

Recent news: I dropped the PVP healing spec to go back to shadow for flexibility in the new dungeon finder system. Of course all I get are healing assignments, no worries there. Still rockin the disc healing spec, may never go back to holy I loves PW: Shield and Penance too much.

with the new shadow spec Ive been spending triumph on dps gear and have a solid set going now...too much hit i must say, but that's the norm. Haven't been raiding all that much with the holidays but the guild has entered the new ICC-10 and we dethroned Lord Marrowgar and attempted Lady Deathwhisper. cant say i enjoyed the Bone Spike Graveyard .

I did do some of the Winterveil stuff only to hit a brick wall with the cooking part. I will never again try to become a Bloodsail Buc, it messed my cooking lvl'n up too much. For those that know what I mean, you understand.

new helm and others...

So, I finally went after the tier Priest helm to match my robe. It looked basically the same as the one before so there isnt much difference in that. I also got a new and fitting holy wand (pretty happy with that one, I get to pew pew with holy power now.

Some recent achievments I've earned.

1. The Antechamber of Ulduar (10-man), 14 Sept 2009, with my guild Link here to website news posting.
2. Koralon the flame watcher (10-VOA), 12 Sept 2009, with a pug group.
3. Got my mind on my money, 11 Sept 2009.
4. Vehicular Gnomeslaughter, 10 Sept 2009.

"/golfclap"

I have renamed the blog to "slashgolfclap" since I am no longer melting shins on Mak. Its a tribute to pvp, especially Blood Elf Pally's and Rogues.

back to pvp discipline - welcome Perdishun to ally

yep yep, once again I have switched my secondary spec to pvp discipline. How many times now? Twice? Three times? I dont know. But I do know that Mak isnt going to be shadow anymore...with that said I introduce my shadow priest Perdishun. He was transferred from the horde side last night. Btw, he is a human...my first 'official' human toon. I nearly made him a night elf...but the faction rep bonus and every man for himself ability was worth it...plus I dont really like the Male NE animations.

This way I will have the full spectrum of the priest prowess. Some thing its insane to have 2 of the same class but I just like the Priest that much.

facion change available

ok, so maybe making a gnome priest isnt a great idea...i like the dwarves too much to betray Mak with that. Besides, that isnt an option at this time.

Still kicking around the idea of bringing Perdishun (from the horde over to ally) since the option is now available for a mere $30. Of course I'd make him a pure shadow since Mak is my healy-bot. Yeah I love the priest class that much!!!
