Gruul and Ogri'la

Last night Darkfall went to Gruul's Lair for our usual Sunday night raid. We downed both Maulgar and Gruul again, but it was a little bit strange. We were missing two of our best geared main tanks and on the Maulgar pull it showed. The new tanks didn't know where to pull to or how to pull only their mobs. So it took us a couple of wipes to get it down. Then we went on to Gruul and one-shot him. It amuses me that Darkfall seems to follow this same pattern every week. We struggle with the coordination of Maulgar and then one-shot Gruul. Admittedly this week it was a bit less smooth to down Gruul. Because we were missing our best geared main tanks the last 5% was done with after the tanks were dead.

After everyone was rezzed the loot was linked. And there were Fallen Hero pants! I bid all the dkp that Viljo had. (I learned my lesson last time: no matter how much you bid, winner only pays 2nd bid +5.) So now Viljo is a proud wearer of the [Legwraps of the Aldor] and has the (slightly lame) 4-piece bonus.


Anyway after Gruul there were some half hearted attempts to finish Kara and do ZA. However Eeyan and Teltanara pulled together a guild group and unlocked the Ogri'la quests. We even had one out of group person so that the warlock-pentagram guy was a bit easier. But now Eeyan and Telt have access to the gold mine that is Ogri'la! Possibly we shall pool their gold soon and Eeyan will get an epic mount first. He is the gatherer after all. And there are few things quite so frustrating as making your way to a mining or herbalism node and seeing a fruity night-elf already taking it.
