Kel’Thuzad Down!

At approximately 9:30 server last night Baraka downed Kel’Thuzad for the first time completing a clear of Naxxramas 10-man that took a couple of nights to finish. This was after running a 25-man Obsidian Sanctum and downing Sartharion.

Being part of a guild first filled me with an immense sense of pride and accomplishment. The team we had seemed well-balanced and we learned the fights quickly, one or two-shotting most bosses. Personally I had one of my best nights ever from a game play perspective so that’s always a good thing.

Gear wise it wasn’t a huge night for me but Kel’Thuzad did drop the gun and although it’s basically the same as the crafted one I have, I shall use it with a sense of pride.

Tonight we finish the second half of the 25-man version we’re doing with another guild and I feel like I have a good jump on some of them as I’ve now done all the fights. Hopefully some decent loot drops for hunters.

With the Christmas season now upon us this is the last scheduled raid until January 8th. This is probably a good thing as I need to run a bunch of heroics for rep and badge loot. I still have a blue chest piece that I’m only 7k rep away from replacing. There’s a set of epic bracers I want that are crafted, assuming the heroic Nexus ones don’t drop, and after that I’m pretty much looking for melee weapon(s), necklaces, rings and trinkets to finish off being equipped in all purples again. I’m also quite broke and find myself weighing the cost of things, not something I’m used to, so mining will take up a big chunk of time. I’m sure there’ll be a few impromptu raids in there too, lol. Plus that damned hog is calling me…. 12k+ in mats, ouch.

Life is very good.

Now, which alt. to start leveling…

What the heck have I been doing?

Well it’s been 2 weeks since I’ve posted so lets catch up shall we.

I’ve done a bunch of heroics, a couple of 10-mans and a 25-man. The problem I’m getting is that I’m not getting the epic drops I need form heroics to do 10 and 25 mans effectively.So I’m stuck in heroic hell right now.

I do have 5 epic pices now though, and should get another one shortly from rep. So I can’t complain.

Dealing with guild politics lately. Not so much politics but we’ve still only a few 80’s. Not enough for a 25-man raid or even 2 10-man beacuse of healers, so the same people are doing the 10-mans. Kinda frustrating. They take the same 10 as they have the better gear, they get the even better gear, there’s no hope for me, oh well. I’ll just do heroics until I get the 3 epics I need and see what happens.

Let the epics come! Heroic dungeons and loot

Play time was at a premium this weekend as real life events took the fore. I did manage to run a few heroics and we handled ourselves quite well I thought. No drops for me but lots of fun regardless.

I do have two epics now, both crafted by my engineering skills. Truesight Ice Blinders, a great head piece, and the Nesingwary 4000, a great looking gun.

The Christmas season should curtail a lot of raiding but I’m hoping to get most of the heroics done and maybe even some 10-man Naxx’s.

I also plan on earning a lot of gold to replace the 5500 gold it cost me to level my engineering.
