Warcraft Experience

We gathered together at the front of MC and slashed and burned our way through to Majordomo like little school children on a field trip. Giddy doesn’t describe the atmosphere. We had a few new faces that didn’t run with us on Sunday and one extra mage (I’m glad Bolicious could make it) so life was good.

It’s wierd being in MC knowing that 99% of the bosses are dead and we’re on our way to the last one. Two seperate flameguards bowed before us and dropped the [item]Cenarion Bracers[/item] for Moonwinna and her roll of 58 and Smokinjoe won by default (thank god since he rolled a 1) a shiney new belt, otherwise known as the [item]Lawbringer Belt[/item].

There is a bit more excitement taking down Majordomo now since the polymorphed (sheeped) adds now have a tendancy to wander further since the patch. Gee thanx Blizz. Trubben was having connection issues so Carnilion was his backup sheeper and off we went on our killing spree. My only complaint is when you take the adds down to 42% and yell “new target” have the person we are targetting through have the new target already selected. I only have one assist macro button and it is assigned to the MT/MA of the group. Could I change it for this fight? Yea, but do I want to? No.

A quick portal to SW to grab mats, gear and turn in the [item]Head of Onyxia[/item] that Bahouth won on Thursday (but there was one up already), and we were off again for MC.

A hop, skip and some group rearrangements later and we fighting Ragnaros. With the warning that Tasm only had 30 minutes before he and his wife headed to dinner we got down to some serious action. My group had Garand’s Moonkin buff and Tasmpriest as our healer so we were set to do some damage and get some kick-ass heals.

I assigned the mages their position in the Frost Nova order for the Sons of Flame, which basically means they do a /rs and call the next person in line and whisper that same person telling them they are up next. Dworkinn agreed to call out if any of the mages died and the next in line but thankfully that didn’t happen. We wait 5 seconds between each Frost Nova and AOE Blizzard the Sons while waiting for our turn.

The Macro I use:
/cast Frost Nova(Rank 4)
/rs Nova cast — PLAYER’S NAME you’re up
/w PLAYER’S NAME Nova cast – it’s all you

Another group, specifically Farkhat, kept standing on-top or too close to me so I got blown around a bit, but I had my bandages so I just ran behind the wall, bandaged and headed back to battle. I kept moving my position but apparently I am a good person to stand near because it kept occuring, even with people shouting in vent – “2 lengths between you” and “don’t stand on-top of other players”. Just think of it like the Onyxia fight – you can’t get too close or we all die. It really is very simple.

My main spells I used were: Presence of Mind, FrostBolt, Mana Shield, and Fire Ward.

Pots/Buffs used: [item]Greater Arcane Elixir[/item] (thanks Redcross), the [item]Mistletoe[/item] Buff that gives an additional 20 spirit buff, [item]Fire Protection Potion[/item], [item]Elixir of Minor Fortitude[/item], [item]Elixir of Defense[/item], [item]Lung Juice Cocktail[/item], [item]Wizard Oil[/item] on my staff, a camp fire, and a couple [item]Major Healing Potion[/item]s.

* [item]Band of Accuria[/item] – Kurosawa with a 74
* [item]Bloodfang Pants[/item] – Chuckers with a 77
* [item]Dragonstalker’s Legguards[/item] – Pandion won with a 39
