"Raiders", and Eeyan's good deed

Darkfall has cleared Kara again already this week. When I went in, I was emphatic, Kuan will get his T4 gloves damnit!

And, Curator dropped them! I am grabbing the caster gear, so now Wrath of Air is +121 damage and healing, woo! Not that it matters as the Raid Leaders think Kuan should be in melee group. Kuan put spellhit on the gloves instead of spell powar, and is now +68 spellhit. I think that will make a significant difference, and can make up the spell power either on bracers, the badged shield, or the totem from Mech, as soon as Kuan gets one of these things.

We downed Prince with no hunters, and only one mage in the group: Viljo. And Prince dropped the Mage/Lock/Hunter hat, and our lone lock (the GL, Soulshade) already had it. So now both Kuan and Viljo have T4 hat and gloves. Moreover, guild leadership likes us, so we have been promoted to the Raider rank in the guild.

So, there it was, 11pm on Wednesday, and all the Kara runs were done. Darkfall is now starting up a 3rd run with alts and whoever's mains got left out (boo, Eeyan remains 64...)

...which left Kuan and Viljo at loose ends, a little late to start pugging heroics, Kuan with an hour+ on his flask that I didn't want to use up while Viljo ran around like a goofball trying to get the perfect meta gem for the new hat. I ended up talking to an alt of Jataka's, a 55 mage, and then it dawned on me, she probably wanted BRD.

I was right, and in rather short order, Eeyan, Teltanara, Cerantra, Xiaofang (Jataka's alt), and Kuepid were running BRD. Good grief, even when we have that much damage and healing BRD still takes forever! We were in there until 3am, but Eeyan cleared his next 0.5 quest, and helped everyone clear a bunch of theirs! Even with the quest turnin that was only 2.5% of level for him though, so that was his good deed of the week.

Meanwhile, Kuan and Viljo are officially Raiders. That's new for Kuan! ...we raid Gruul, Sunday evening.

MSFD all the way for the T4 hat!

Which meta gem? I popped the destructive skyfire diamond in there to get more crit and take less damage.

Mystical Skyfire Diamond; sorry for my acronyms. :P

It's a pretty big DPS increase since mages chaincast a lot. Also, in its current state, MSFD has a chance to proc off each hit of Arcane Missiles (instead of each full channel), so it's especially crazy for Arcane Mages.
