Warcraft Experience

Nefarian is down!! Woot! I wasn’t there to see it but I’ll talk it up for them anyway. Congrats guys on all your hard work!

Colors were black and bronze, kill was textbook execution (pardon the pun) on the first pull of the evening.

The Loot:
[item]Bloodfang Chestpiece[/item] - Wendra - Lobster Magnet
[item]Netherwind Robes[/item] - Overstrand - BERSERKER
[item]Head of Nefarian[/item] - Moonwinna - Red Bull Order
[item]Cloak of the Broodlord[/item] - Trubben - Lobster Magnet
[item]Therazane’s Link[/item] - Kurosawa - BERSERKER

Ya’ll better watch out! My little shaman is finally reaching new a decent level. I think fairly soon I will try my hand at PvPing. Bullhonkey and I played yesterday for about 5 hours and had a blast. We finished up several quests, he got a buttload of upgrades and gear and I went up a level and a half. Woot!

Yurtrak joined us for a Scarlet Monestary run, which I wouldn’t recommend running at this level to most people. I got aggro at the drop of a hat! Cafelatte played party healer (it helped that Yurtrak is lvl 40+) and no-one died so GO ME!

Thanks gang for the fun time yesterday.

Why is it if we have a form up time of 6:30 CST and a roll out - be there or be square and staring at the first mob - of 7 CST that we are always late? I mean hell we spent 15 minutes doing jack squat while people dueled each other outside of Onyxia’s cave. We still hadn’t been put in our groups (we were in the form up raid groups of all tanks here, mages here, etc.) so I couldn’t give out the buff cycles, and hell at that point I didn’t even have assist to give them out. I had to /w them out instead.

It’s no wonder it takes us forever to get something done. I know we are a “casual” group but WTF people. If we are formed up early, are full, then lets roll out and get this done. Making 38 other people stand around while you duel is stupid and a waste of time. I just find it odd is all.

Most of us are great at getting there for the form up time, the majority of us don’t hang out and expect a summons every time but when it comes to actually getting on with it we stand around like schmucks. Anyway I don’t get it and sorry for the rant.

Drops from last night:

[item]Deathbringer[/item] was won by Static in an upgrade roll with a 87. Carnilion won the [item]Netherwind Crown[/item] but when he found out Bolicious didn’t have a purple head piece he passed it onto him. Gwadraw won the [item]Nemesis Skullcap[/item] and the [item]Mature Black Dragon Sinew[/item] went to DE (but I don’t think it worked..not sure). Moonwinna won the [item]head of Onyxia[/item] with a 92 and I finally won the [item]Onyxia Hide Backpack[/item] with a 95. WOOOT! The [item]Ring of Binding[/item] went to a greed roll and Alahn won with a 53.

We tried to do BWL afterwards but with the server side lags (there were at least 250 people in there last night according to a /info on general chat) and not having some of our regular tanks we pulled the plug and bailed. A 20-man AQ group formed up but I went to watch TV instead.

Finally made it into the MC run after a long wait of 380 in queue and my Dad’s 50th birthday party. It was touch and go if I was going to make it in for a bit since the raid was full but as soon as I logged into my alt someone lost connection and couldn’t get back in so I got to go after all.

Unforunately I didn’t take notes on anyone’s rolls or who won what so I have to rely soley on the Raid Tracker to give you the phat loot dropped. I CAN tell you I came in after the Baron kill, just in the time for Wendra to win the [item]Bindings of the Windseeker[/item] with a 48. (and that was the end of my record keeping. lol)

The [item]Fire Runed Grimoire[/item] was won by XAnthony, Wendra won the [item]Mageflame Cloak[/item] from Ragnaros on a /random 40 by the raid leader, Trubben won the [item]Azuresong Mageblade[/item] (I gave him the +30 spell power enchant today). Pandion won the [item]Giantstalker’s Epaulets[/item], [item]Choker of the Fire Lord[/item] went to Muridis on a /random 40 by the RL (Rags fight drop).

[item]Malister’s Defender[/item] went to Galvar as well as the [item]Girdle of Prophecy[/item], [item]Bracers of Might[/item] and [item]Giantstalker’s Bracers[/item] for trading. Farkhat won the [item]Felheart Robes[/item] and I won the [item]Netherwind Pants[/item] off of Ragnaros! WOOT. 2nd tier 2 piece. The [item]Nightslayer Shoulder Pads[/item] and the [item]Nightslayer boots[/item] both went to Deflickshew. There is something to say about default wins

Chriara won the [item]Girdle of Prophecy[/item] and Carnilion won the [item]Seal of the Archmagus[/item]. Aveliana won the [item]Nemesis Leggings[/item] and Alyna won the [item]Cenarion Gloves[/item].

Congrats to everyone!

We did our traditional Onyxia and BWL run last night. Onyxia was a piece of cake like usual and Razorgore has become fairly easy for us. Vael is still elluding our efforts to take him down while happily apologzing for killing us each and every time.

Onyxia loot:
[item]Onyxia hide backpack[/item] was won by Muridis with a 97, Moonwinna won the [item]Stormrage Cover[/item] with a 97, and Dworkinn won the [item]Sapphiron Drape[/item] with a 99. I finally won something - the [item]Netherwind Crown[/item] with a 44. WOOT! Thanks to those of you that passed cause you want to complete your tier 1 sets and everyone else. Babbaganoosh and Smokinjoe tied with a 95 for the [item]Head of Onyxia[/item] but Babba ultimately won with a 32. And Wendra walked off with the [item]Vis’kag the Bloodletter[/item] as an upgrade roll with a 76.

Razorgore dropped [item]The Black Book[/item] which went to our only demonology specced warlock, Ambianceforc; Gern won the [item]Judgement Bindings[/item] with a 84 and Kyjethu won the [item]Bloodfang Bracers[/item] with a 99.

We spent the rest of our time in BWL whiping and running back. Luckily Burthona called the raid a little early because all of us were getting tired, pissed and irritated over it. The first night we were in there we did great on our strategy, the thanks held aggro, etc. But now we suck. And of course every time a tank has issues doing their job they blame the whiping on needing more DPS. Well….if you can’t hold your aggro and Vael turns and fire breaths half of your DPSers WTF do you want us to do. Do your job and we will do ours. /rant

Since the February raid calendar was announced I noticed that Onyxia would reset today (Wed) so before our outing into BWL to take on Vael I suggested we run thru Onyxia for a “free” kill. Well it worked so we headed down there and got some decent loot out of the deal.

The [item]Ancient Cornerstone Grimoire[/item] dropped for Tasmpriest to win on an upgrade roll with a 66, Garand won the [item]Stormrage Cover[/item] with a 84 and Hurtu won the [item]Onyxia Hide Backpack[/item]. Daalny won the re-roll on The [item]head of Onyxia[/item] with a 41 and Gern wanted the [item]Sword of Zeal[/item] for an upgrade. Interestingly enough the Pally head piece has dropped so often that we had to DE it for a shard. Kugnar won the DE roll with a 99. The [item]Judgement Crown[/item] nets 2 nexus shards.

The server-side lag whomped us again and we only got in two shots on Vael before we gave up for the night. When it takes about 6 seconds for a 1.5 second spell to cast you know when it is time to give up.

With a new month, comes a new WOW Raiding schedule!

Check out all the Febuary dates, times and resets for Molten Core, Blackwing Lair, Zul Gurrub, Onyxia, Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj, and Temple of Ahn’Qiraj, right here! Onyxia resets on some odd days so keep that in mind - you may be able to get a “free” kill out of her for the week.

In a first for the SnT Alliance in a random alliance PUG we ran through ZG picking and choosing our bosses while we waited for more people to come on and finally ended up at Hakkar. We took him down on our second try! It was a late night and took us about 7 hours to get through it so we need to shave some time off but WOOT for everyone that stuck it out!

I was having too much fun to track the loot but it is stored in the Raid Tracker so next time I’m on I’ll be sure to look so I can post it for ya’ll.
