Summer time

So, 1 to keep Tzia from hounding me when she returns from her honeymoon (4 years late)/vacation in New Zealand, I shall take a slight initiative roll (Natural 20. YES!) and make a post before her return.


So it's summer, people are going on haiatus, vacations, breaks, or whatnot. Shadow Templar has slowed down it's raids to compensate. I discovered that my 'ol man's alliance guild on Bronzebeard is having some issues in Naxx-10. Now to give them their dues, none of them had ever stepped foot in Naxx before and their first boss fight was Anub'Rekhan. That isn't a very nice boss to step into and suddenly have a Locust Swarm go off on the raid and not know what to do with it or how to handle it.

My very first toon was a Night Elf Druid on Uther. What I'm going to do now it level it up from 43 (45 now) and transfer it to Bronzebeard to better help them learn the raiding ropes, considering I'm a Raid Leader, and Guild Officer in ST on Deathwing. Additionally, my Boomkin has been having Feral thoughts, so I figured I may as well quell those tendancies by using this lower level Druid to tinker with Feral....... and I'm LIKING it!! Still have a lot to learn about the Cat DPS, and the Bear Tanking, but for all intents and purposes of leveling, it suits me well. Especially since low level caster takes so much time for mana regen and everything. I really do think having a 80 OP Boomkin has really spoiled me for the caster part. So the speed of Feral is suiting me well.

So, I got suckered into this one by Tzia... I just had to go read her latest post, only to find out she tagged me for on of those goofy album cover thingies. Curse you tricksy woman!

So, without further adieu!

And now for the rest of the info about my album:

Lucien Millevoye (1 August 1850 - 25 March 1918) was a French journalist and right-wing politician, now best known for his relationship with the Irish revolutionary, and muse of W.B. Yeats, Maud Gonne.

The fascination of shooting as a sport depends almost wholly on whether you are at the right or wrong end of the gun.

P. G. Wodehouse (1881 - 1975)

It has been brought to my attention.....

That I haven't posted in *now* over a month. Thank you Tzia for pointing out that painful little fact.

So, They nerfed Ulduar a 'little' bit. Or we just became better raiders by getting Naxx-25 on a more readily farm status, but we dropped Flame Laviathan on our second shot, dropped Razorscale on our second, or third, attempt. We dropped Xt-Deconstructor on our 2nd shot after the enrage timer expired, but he never enraged(?) Then we got the guy with the face and arms after about 17 tries. So he was a learning experience for us and we all had a pleasant time about it.

Guid drama is about as much as Guild drama is. Had some people getting burned out /gquit this morning, and other such stuff. So I tried to pick up the Naxx-10 one of them was leading.

That flopped, so a little bit later I picked it up as a hand picked 8-man attempt. The only wings that were left were Plague and Military. Plague was a breeze. I solo healed from the first pull to Heigan. Then had one of the priests swap to healing to help with Heigan so they could cleanse and help heal... Should have just let them heal while I DPS'd. Ran through the gauntlet to Loatheb without a death, then had the priest solo heal Loatheb while we had me and 2 mages drop 4k dps on that sucker and we missed our 10man record by 10 seconds!! I only dropped in DPS (1st to 3rd) because I had to Tranq my group for one of the last heal windows of the fight.

Then we went and had the tanks learn the Razzy fight. Beginning of the wing and the first boss attempt I solo heald again. Boss fight wasn't so bad, just the tanks didn't know what they were doing so as we were wiping, I was about to run out of mana. 2nd attempt the priest swapped back to heals to heal the Understudies while I raid healed. Tank lost control of the Understudy and Razzy started eating faces. 3rd & 4th attempt the Shaman healed while I DPS'd. had one understudy get loose, then had one die and the shaman couldn't quite keep up on heals so we ended up wiping. One of the mages had to leave so we called it there, getting 3 bosses with 8 people in the raid.

Working on Achievments!!
