Toskks Maximized BiS Bracers won

Did a pug ICC 25 the other day.

I main tanked the lower spire and was awarded the BiS bracers from Saurfang.

The RL/ML was a rogue and I was a little worried that there would be some sort of discussion regarding my right to the gear. But he was from one of the more prominent guilds on the server so I wasnt overly wooried. Cred to him, he looted the gear to me w/o discussion even if he was the one who lost.

My gear is now very to close to as good as it can be as I bought the T10 helm and got a pair of non-tier ilvl51 leggings of Festergut the last guild run.

Mind Flayers downed Rotface

On saturday our guild downed Rotface at last.

We first downed the weekly malygos on eight players for some emblems and the achievement before heading to ICC for a late start (about 22:30) with the aid of two pug players. One 5100 gs alt (shammy enhanc./resto)  to a competent heroic mode ICC player and a random 4950 gs shadow priest.

No clinical kills this week either, but one shots of all lower spire bosses as well as festergut. Fielding duo druids gives a raid some room for failure as combat rezzes are quite powerful tools when hickups occur. :)

We then had a very good 1st try on Rotface but wiping on about 40% or something on some obscure reason when the blob tank died for some reason.

Just as we stood ready for our 2nd pull on Rotface we noticed that our mage had used invisibility to save some repair costs on the wipe a few minutes earlier he had manage to have gotten both the orange and green slime stains and thus elegible for completion of the weekly ICC raid quest which did consist of “one-shotting” either festergut or rotface after each other.  When the mage talked to the quest giver NPC the whole raid got the quest completed and was awarded five extra emblems and one was lucky enough to gain the ilvl264 plate dps shoulders that were given to our retribution pala “for dkp”.

On the fourth (or fifth) try when then downed Rotface with a two tank (warr + pala) and two healer (druid + shammy) strategy. The loot was a bit booring though as it went to off spec and even to our pug guest dps.

We now need to decide on where to head on the next raid into ICC. Should we go for Putricide who seems to be very hard, at least if you look at the success rate on the top guilds  in the the heroic ICC race. Perhaps it will be easier to go for any of the other wings instead.

A few days off WoW in the mountains

I had a few days off the grind in WoW and went to Sälen Lindvallen in the swedish mountains. 3 days away from home and work and 2 days skiing.

The first day was quite windy with a lot of snow pouring down, the next day was much better with no wind at all with sun and clear blue skies as seen on the picture here.

In the end, no broken bones ,  aching muscles and a lot of good wine and great food in the evenings. It was a good trip

On the verge of a break-through

Last week the Mind Flayers fielded a quite alt-ish raid. We did miss our MT warrior who were out flying and a star druid tree had parents visiting and thus we had shift a lot of people to unfamiliar roles. I main tanked on the druid and our holy paladin was forced into his mere 4900-isg gearscore prot gear. Our old healer the new born shadow priest was back on healing as well as our reluctant hybrid the elemental shammy who only been healing sporadically in the past and with little success.

Therefore I was happily surprised as we down boss after boss with almost no effort. We started a bit late with some Ulduar action to get the weekly raid boss as well as a few dps-race achievements, went in and one shotted the new VoA-boss Toravon (yiipeee, I got the T10 leggings) and the went into ICC.

A few scruffy kills and a few wipes but quick and concentrated execution led us up to and past Festergut once more and we had our best try so far on Rotface were we had him down to about 25%. I was truely amazed and very glad. This is most promising for the future when we dare ICC once more with an even better raid set up. A lot of praise should go to the two rusty healers who saved the raid and led us onwards.

Wow, keep up the good work.
