Finally a 25-man guild run

We’ve been runnning 25 man content by either pugging or in conjunction with another guild. Last night we were supposed to run a 25 man Naxx with them but things fell apart. As I suspected would happen their guild started whining about the number of our guild going, what positions we were taking etc. Both guilds decided to do their own thing and it looked like we were out of the 25 man area, but a quick look in guild and we realized that we had 22 80’s online and with the help of three friends we put together a rag-tag motley crew, some very fresh 80’s and cleared two quarters of Naxx.

We ended up failing on Patchwerk, too many healers (8!) and not enough dps, but he’s a gear check and we kinda figured. hopefully we’ll be able to finish him off tonight. I was very proud when the raid leader commented on my 4200+ dps on the Patchwerk fight I must admit. Hopefully that doesn’t drop a lot after the nerf.

I picked up the second best dps ring in the game right now so I’m down to 3 blues left, a ring, a trinket and boots. I have 22 heroic emblems though so the boots I want for 40 emblems are within sight.

We’re getting a lot of guildies geared lately and that makes me very happy.

Well I’m still here

Mintaka has been very busy since before Christmas. He’s pretty much epic’d out (I think I havd 5 blues, 2 rings, a trinket, one-handed weapon and boots) and I’ve been running 10 and 25 man instances a lot. There’s a few rings or trinkets I need from 10 man Naxx but most of my upgrades are coming from 25 man content now.

I’m getting a little frustrated with some of the guild members who aren’t doing all they can to be as well-geared as possible before running higher level content. It seems that a lot of people figure that just hitting 80 means they can raid and they don’t need to grind rep, heroics, buy crafted eipcs or spend money, sigh.

I’m busy trying to get my dps as high as possible before the great hunter nerf of 2009, probably occuring next Tuesday. In 10 man Naxx last night I was averaging 2300 dps but in the 25man I did on Monday I was top dps and doing 3843 dps on average. Yeah, I was proud

I’m taking a more active role in my guild, both in game and on the forums. We’re looking at out officer structure right now and Im hoping I’ll be asked to be an officer as I’m quite curious about the inner workings of a guild and hope my supervisory skills will be benificial.

I’ll try and update more often and keep you updated on my guild participation.
