A long time ago

I haven't posted in so long and so much has happened in my wow career. I've raided Kara and cleared it, I've done the first four bosses in ZA and didn't get a single drop. (damn it) Last night I did something that made me think of this blog and I decided I should put this up....

I was in my first 25 experience and it was fun!! My son has a hunter that's very well geared and is in a different guild on my server. His guild was doing Mag/Gruul's last night and I got an invite to go.

Mag's Lair was first and it really wasn't so hard. Of course I'm ranged DPS so I'm not sure how hard it is for other classes, and clicking the cubes is kind of a pain because of the timing thing but overall it was fun. My dps is getting up there a little. I did over 750 and didn't really go all out. The fight itself pretty much entails killing all the mobs holding magtheridon down with some sort of energy beam and then having a tank hold him while you down whatever's left after the timer, then switching to Mag himself. I know it's healer intensive during the first couple of minutes that Mag is free, after that it's just clicking cubes, staying alive, and doing as much dps on him as you can. My tier chest token dropped and I lost the roll...yay me, but I did get an epic wand.

Gruul's was up next. This was a little different, but still fun. There's a couple of things about this fight I didn't know, one is cave ins will kill you, the other is some kind of grounding thing that bounces you everywhere, and the last is a damaging effect that happens when you're too close to someone else (15yds). We actually wiped the first time and that wasn't fun, but I learned about caveins. The second I avoided the caveins but some hunter kept getting too close to me and another player and got us hit with that proximity damage thing. I got battle rezzed because of the damage output I had (over 830 dps). It was either going to be me or the hunter that got me killed, and I was out dpsing him by around 200 so they rezzed me and I gave it everything I had. The top dps was a stupid Lock (1100 dps), but his gear was far better than mine. I was 3rd down the list and that made me proud of my work. The second on the list was a frost mage btw. I'd really like to get to that 1000 dps mark, just gotta keep working at my gear. Tier token dropped, but I already had gear that was better, but since there was no one else that wanted the token, I took it to help complete my set. I'm now 3/5 tier 4 and only have one non-epic left (and it's a trinket). I'm clipping along as fast as I can. My guild doesn't do 25 man content, but my son's guild does, and they're about to start doing TK and SSC. I was told by the GM that me and my fellow guildies are welcome to come along on the progression nights because we play very well and he'd be happy to have us help the guild. (we also get to roll on gear because they don't have a DKP system yet) I'd like to go with them in future endevours, we'll see how it goes and I'll post up about it as it happens.

Bobpally is 53 almost 54, he's been on the sidelines a little lately because of the raiding and arenas I've been doing with bobmage, but I haven't forgotten about him. There's just not enough time to get all the stuff done that I want, but I'll keep trying to level my paladin and give updates when necessary....
