Had I known the results -- I could have best labelled these posts "Team Tuesday -- Gear up your Pally / Warlock".
Jazzmynn for being somewhat new to raiding as a Pally was rocking it, and the Blizzard god decided to bless her with 8(!!!) loots IIRC. Huckenpahler came in a close second with 5 upgrades -- gratz you guys! I win tho
MY PRECIOUS .. PRECIOUS SWORD. mmmmm I love you. MMmmm .. what was I talking about?All in all we sharded very little, and even though we got a late run of things on both nights -- we were still able to clear in 2 nights! Shade of Aran -- Dead right as the poly hit, two warlocks make this a loot pinata -- though we got a bad flame wreath right when they spawned and had to take 15 seconds of frost bolts to the face as well as Aran's spells. Jazzmynn -- Pauldrons of the Justice SeekerHuckenpahler -- Tirisfal Wand of AscendancyNetherspite -- This fight speaks to the point I made in an earlier post. You learn a fight as "XYZ" and wipe if you fail. You learn a fight well when it goes "XJP" and you're able to pull it through. We had a couple bad swaps as people figured out their beams, lost two pretty early in phase 2 and were able to shuffle people around during the chaos and pull it together for a one-shot. At one point I stopped threatting and started DPSing (green beam, I loves ya) -- I think this was a mistake though as when he came out of the banish he really wanted to eat Fargol's face. Must have been those >1k drain life tics or something ...Quani -- Pantaloons of RepentanceJazzmynn -- Shining Chain of the AfterworldChess -- it seems weird to say it, but great healing! Our knights are the most mobile units, and were used to great effect - both were alive the whole time doing massive damage and tying down their side to be responsive to our moves. NOTE: we discovered you dont have to be in the raid at the kill time to get the chess loots .. we should NEVER shard this. The chest might despawn though .. but maybe someone not committed to raid 2, or various alts can log off by the entrance to maybe get in and summoned?Chuunks -- "Galaxian" - the King's Defender (hey, if BB King can name his guitar Lucille -- after umpteen attempts, it deserves a name
).Huckenpahler -- Ring of RecurrancePrince -- lucky infernal drops I think - great calling by Quani, and then Amulec.
Hurray for random loot and another hunter/mage/warlock token!?Huckenpahler - Nathrezim MindbladeKurome - T4 helmNightbane -- this fight is all about the transitions. Getting control of those skeletons on the ground and focus-firing them down, while making sure the person with the debuff doesn't blow us all up. Additionally when it lands -- popping into the bag of tricks really helps, Moroes trinket / Shield Wall / Last Stand just to overcome that initial (potential) burst damage while healers get into position and start on their big heals.Mahonri -- Chestguard of the Conniver (Murphy's Law of Loot states that as soon as you run an instance 10 times for a peice, you will replace it in a week. Proven.)Jazzmynn -- Dragonheart FlameshieldIllhoof -- it's all in the targetting macros. And ... sadly -- about abandonning the last person or two in the chains (if anyone has died earlier).Jazzmynn -- Breastplate of the LightbenderJazzmynn -- Cord of Nature's SustenanceGREAT RUN EVERYONE!
