Old Hillsbrad

Last night we had planned to run Tylara and Mornara through BFD, and then Run Evallen and Aurochh through Ulda. Or perhaps do that in the opposite order. Either way, it didn't happen because Evallen's internet was not working.

So I logged in Lithui and got him up a level and then we decided that we wanted to run something with Cerantra. Cerantra had never done the Caverns of Time instances. So we hopped onto Kuan and Viljo and grabbed a guildie bear tank and a healer to run as 3rd dps.

We were terribly sloppy running through the instance :) Because we were so over powered for it. But it was a ton of fun. Got a couple of shards and some KoT rep. Kuanchichi is now at 18555/21000, so just two more runs of anything will get exalted and the recipe for flask of supreme power.

Solarian Down!

We killed Solarian!

Darkfall killed Solarian!! Wheee!!!

We went in there, saw the fight for the first time and got her down to 65%. Then because the RL and everyone had taken so much time with the talking and the downloading of addons, we had trash repops. Fortunately a warlock and a couple of others could rez out of range in Solarian's room. So they summoned us all back in for one last try.

And we killed her that time! It ruled! People were good about grouping up for the adds, and staying near the designated spot for the debuff. The healers kept almost everyone up and didn't run out of mana. I think we had one person die, but they got a battle rez, so we ended the fight with a full group. It was awesome!

Leotheras and SSC

Last night Viljo and Kuan went into Serpentshrine Cavern with Darkfall. Lurker had previously been downed, so we went straight for Leotheras. However Leotheras was not so cooperative. We got him down to 19%.

Kuan and Viljo were some of the last to die on each attempt. I was quite proud of this as previously Viljo had a lot of trouble with the Inner Demons. This time I had learned the wonders of Arcane Blast, and Viljo killed his demons.

It seems that our issues with Leo are twofold. First, there is the aggro problem. People are not good at waiting until the tanks have control of Leo. So half the time is spent waiting while the tanks chase him around. Second, people were having issues with their inner demons. There were a couple of healers and a hunter who were either dying to their inner demons, or getting mind controlled.

You know the raid isn't going well when the Raid Leader keeps telling everyone how easy a fight it is. Which always amuses me, because all I can think of is: "This is an easy fight guys, just do these 5 things perfectly, while standing on your head, and balancing a full bowl of water on your foot."

Anyway to help his mood afterwards Kuan and Viljo and a couple other people smashed through heroic SV. He needed it for the Trial of the Naaru quest. Hopefully this evening we shall down Mag and lots of people will get the title.

It's rather amusing. The first time we downed Mag, only three people got the title: Kuan, Viljo, and one of the resto shamans. And it had been really hard to get people to help run the heroics for those quests. Everyone was wondering why we bothered with those quests when it was easier to farm badges from other instances. Once we got the title, and cheered each other whenever we met up for the raids, well then everyone wanted those titles. :)

meet Tylara

I got home from work late last night, and Darkfall had already filled in my raid spot for SSC. Kuan is spec'd right now into 41 points elemental, which means he has the Totem of Wrath, and no Nature's Swiftness; sort of useless outside of a raid, I found to my dismay in WSG. So Kuan gets to stay parked on raiding days, and arena/BG/instances get to wait for respec. Right now, he is parked next to shaman trainer in Ogrimmar...

Now meanwhile, I just don't like playing warriors, and bear druid is dismaying. So I have overcome my philosophical objections to paladin and rolled one, just to see if I could stand playing one of them as a tank. Here she is, a little girl BE with big hair. She got like 3 levels last night as I dumped my annoyance energy at not being in SSC into playing her.

I am playing with a spec for her right now, but am not too sure of it yet.

Desktop Computer

Darkfall went into SSC this evening. We downed Lurker and made a few attempts on Leotheras.

Lurker was a one-shot, aside from Viljo dying twice. But I got not one but two battle rezs. So when all but one other mage died I was able to keep a sheep up. It was pretty embarassing to die twice in one boss fight though. :( I am blaming switching to my desktop computer. It's got a Kinesis keyboard and a slightly different layout due to a bigger screen. So there is a lot of adjustment as the keys I'm used to reaching for are in a different location. :(

Anyway we went on to try for Leotheras. It was actually a pretty good set of attempts. Our last one we got Leo down to 23%. I really need to look up how fire mages are supposed to survive getting an inner demon. I died to mine both times I got it. :( I guess there is a draw back to being a glass cannon, when something comes after you, it's kinda hard not to die. :(
