Pants For Viljo

We killed Karathress again this evening. Viljo is now the proud owner of a pair of Leggings of Tirisfal.

After we downed the boss, there was a bio break where those of us who won tokens went to get the actual pants. We ported out, and I grabbed the pants from the nice lady on the Scryer tier. Then because Viljo is impatient I took him to Orgrimmar where he bought a lovely crit gem and the runic spellthread. So now Viljo has lovely pants to wear. :D

Discovery!

Kuan has been getting asked by the guild's rogues for Agility Elixirs. That has paid off tonight! He has discovered Flask of Pure Death!

a new look for Kuan

Serpentshrine Cavern reset tonight, so Darkfall went in there and down'd Leo again. And he again dropped the shaman gloves x2... and nice mail healy shoulders. We had a healy pally in the raid, Crisara, who got the first pair, but everyone else was either new or depleted or much more interested in those shoulders. So Kuan has a pair of gloves to match his pants.

Darkfall's blueish-black tabard with the red and white details just doesn't look good with yellow and rust-colored gear, though. After some consideration, I decided since getting exalted Keepers of Time was such a pain I should wear the tabard. After all it also has a dragon logo on it, how appropos!



On another note, our guild leader has been lock-tanking Leo. Since his main is a warrior right now, seeing all these T5 gloves drop has been disappointing. Another lock has been working on gearing up for that, and all he needed was Magtheridon. So after we called SSC, we jumped into Magtheridon's Lair to get the other lock the Phoenix-fire band for completing the quest.

Why do I bring this up? Rahlenti went with us, his first Darkfall raid. I'm thinking he's not really been to Karazhan much with his gear. He ended up making out like a bandit, getting a couple pieces off Lurker and T4 Chest from Mag. Woot!

about those PANTS!!!

I am still doing the Pants Dance.

I should go to bed. OMG I have been annoyed forever that T4 legs were a skirt, and even more annoyed that Kuan was in a skirt.

/dance

So about the re-gem. T4 pants are +20 spell hit. T5 +14 spell hit, +20 crit. What I basically did was say screw it: I pulled the Veiled Noble Topaz out of his boots, the only red socket Kuan has, and replaced it with the Runed Crimson Spinel which is the other quest reward for getting the Heroic Magisters' Terrace Key. Then, in the new yellow socket in the T5 pants I put Great Dawnstone.

So the bottom line, gem-wise, is that +5 dmg +4 spell hit has been replaced with +12 dmg, +8 spell hit. Not so shabby.

But enough sitting here typing. I need to dance more. Must focus on what's important: no more skirt, on my beautiful male troll! Then, to bed.

Karathress Down!

As DraNgNon has already posted we downed Leotheras for the 2nd time tonight and then went on to kill Fathom Lord Karathress.

It was pretty late so a bunch of people had to go. This meant that Teltanara was needed more than Viljo. This was sad, because 2 mage,warlock,hunter tokens dropped, and Viljo missed out. But it was also awesome because I've tried really hard to keep Telt geared up enough that she can be brought in when we have a lack of heals. And here she is, helping out against Karathress.

The first couple of attempts against Karathress were not so good. Mostly because I was put on healing a pretty difficult target. My favorite warrior tank, Isd, was tanking the shaman for Karathress. Walkietalkie (who just joined the guild) and Telt were put on keeping him up and we just couldn't deal. :( The shaman doesn't do a lot of damage, but what he does is very bursty, because of the windfury procing.

So Telt was swapped with another priest, and a pally got added to her new target, as apparently the previous priest hadn't been able to keep everyone up either. She was now healing the tank for the priest for Karathress.

And then the raid owned Karathress, hardcore. We 24-manned him with only one death. And that person got a battle rez, so the fight ended with everyone still alive. We were short one rogue who probably fell asleep. He's gonna be annoyed tomorrow, but ah well.

I'm so so glad that we managed to down him that last time. Otherwise I would have started seriously stressing about Telt's ability to heal. As it is I've decided that I will be patient and save her badges for the 150 badge healy mace. She managed to snag the t4 hat in Kara over the weekend, so I'm pretty pleased about that too. :D

PANTS!!!

"Once more into the breach dear friends..."

Darkfall tried yet again to down Leotheras the Blind. We tried and tried, and tried and tried, and then he died. Two pairs of Shaman T5 glove tokens dropped! Kuan bid the amount of DKP 2 raids' attendance was worth. Of course he did not win.

That left us with raid time left, nothing better to do than go after Fathom-Lord whatshisbutt, and everyone qualified for those T5 tokens depleted in DKP.

So now Kuan is in pants again: Cataclysm Leggings. omg, no more stupid skirt. omg, so happy.

Now, to re-gem, he's dropped below hit cap.

old faces reappear

Rahlenti started playing again! Even better, he app'd to Darkfall and has yesterday joined the guild! yay!

Clara agreed with me on the Alliance lameness. However that is no good as Khyrie is her only druid. So yesterday she re-rolled Naranon and started him leveling up.
