So I /gquit my guild today, continuing my guild hopping that I've been doing since November. Today I get replaced by another ret pally because I'm not performing up to what they expect of me. This was a hardcore guild though competing for server firsts. The raid schedule was also getting to me. I need to find a new guild that doesnt expect the absolute best, and is fine with the flaws I have in playing my character (not that their totally bad, but my damage is slightly lower than it should be).

It's kind of amazing how much things change in a month. Here's my last normal mode kill of conclave of wind (as in, I stopped doing it after this, i think this is 3 lockouts ago).

Time to kill him was basically 1/2 what the first kill took, you can largely ignore most of the mechanics, and there's very little risk of getting killed.

On the guild recruiting front:

  • We picked up a hunter, I find him annoying but he's friends with some people already.
  • We snagged a holy paladin, I have concerns that they're a fire-stander based on some of their logs but they're really inconclusive (sucks at cho'gall but good at gay dragons, so who knows)
  • We got rid of the trial mage/lock that couldn't stay alive worth a damn. They both came with passable 25-man experience (4/12 hard modes) but apparently you can be carried like nobody's business there

I"m just dumping unedited fraps captures of our kills on my youtube channel. So far none of the content has been particularly interesting.

lol just updated on wowprogress and I am number 50,000 in the world lol. Right at the cut off before you just get the 50K+. Over the last 2 weeks went through 9/12 got chogall down to 50% twice in our first night on him. Have not tied nef or al'akir yet.

We killed Cho, three weeks ago. Tonight was second night of attempts on Al'akir. Once you master P1 the fight is so much easier.. Only problem we are having now is people moving to far/not far enough during P3 for clouds. Last attempt both tanks and a healer were last ones up, took him down an additional 5% before we ran out of space. If they can stop being stupid, we'll have the kill here.

Edit: Yup. We got him. Easy peeasy.

Did your tanks ever say how hard they hit? I've seen them swimming around and was always curious. What did it drop for loot?

It drops absolutely nothing, but it gives you an achievement, and as far as how hard it hits, it hit me for 11 million damage (after the tank lost it's agro).. We wiped three times on the attempt before we got it. :happy:

11 million?! Sweet Jesus! I was swimming around Vash'jir today and bumped into one of those things. I about fell out of my chair!

Sucks it has no loot, but the achievement makes it worthwhile. Congratulations on the kill!

Past the halfway point in heroic content.

The encounter was substantially better pre-hotfixes. The enrage timer is too relaxed or the adds need more health. Either way, the fight has lost something since 2 months ago but it's at least reasonably fun the first time through. Sadly this one is going to go like conclaive or chimaeron where it just won't scale with gear and won't remain fun for long.

I'll package it up this weekend and post it somewhere, also heroic gay dragons down.

Apparently back to top 50 US 10-man, with any luck at all it'll be top 25 this week.

Certainly looks a nice UI, wouldn't mind trying too. I'm back playing after about 2 years out. 35 Druid and taking my time to level up although now wishing i was higher and back raiding! :(

You think you could do two configurations of it ?

The left and right sides are identical so there's no reason you couldn't move the threat/damage meter + raid frames to one side and the chat frame to the other one.

If I can easily set it up to work with Reflux then I'll do that. I think a better way to go might be just to make a handful of guides about how to configure the addons I use from scratch. The only addons that really matter are pitbull, bartender, quartz, satrina buff frames, vuhdo and power auras.

Reclaimed the #1 spot on the server despite doing 'harder hard modes' by killing robot council. I have a feeling one of the 25-man guilds is going to beat us to "blackwing's bane" but for now I'm going to enjoy my 15 minutes of fame. Kinda hoping somebody else gets it tomorrow night so we can go to work on getting 'of the four winds'. Al'akir and Sinestra seem like two fights that play to our strengths (throw more DPS at it), Nefarian is more of a healer check: something we've been kinda weak on since Ulduar. Our main competition has has the opposite strengths: strong healers but marginal DPS (marginal as in "only 3 ranked parses each", they're still good players)

I dumped my priest's UI and wtf folders on the web. You can download them if you like and try to copy settings appropriate to your character if you're so inclined.

Hit 82 on my hunter last night splitting questing time between Vash'jir and Hyjal. Playing him has been more fun then I remembered it being before though I attribute that to the nice long break I took from playing him. Hunters are still easier to quest with then mage's....at least for me they are.

I Hopefully the hunter will be 85 and then I can get him and the mage herioc geared soon...

omg the fake patch notes are so freaking funny

The best section imo

Firelands

An attunement quest for Firelands is now available! In order to be eligible for the upcoming raid, players must first encounter Deathwing while he is randomly attacking a zone and collect his leavings. Epic quest lines will also need to be completed to collect the leavings from the other Aspects to combine them into the Patty of the Five Flights ? the key to unlock the Elemental Plane of fire in the upcoming 4.2 patch.

Invisible walls have been added around all harmful ground effects.

All dungeon & raid bosses now have legs. If they already had legs, they got more legs.

In order to make the Cataclysm expansion appeal to all players? sense of nostalgia, shaman, druids and paladins may now only queue as healers when using the Dungeon Finder.

Tank Stimulus: Successfully completing 25 Dungeon Finder runs as a tank will grant you a $400 Federal tax credit. (Requires Form 8863)

To help ensure players are only using the Vote Kick feature for the greater good of the group, anyone who initiates a Vote Kick will be kicked themselves regardless if the vote passes or not.

Ever a player favorite, the level-80 10- and 25-player raid of Icecrown Citadel is being reintroduced as a level-85 Heroic 5-player dungeon.

Ever a player favorite, the level-85 10- and 25-player raid of The Bastion of Twilight is being reintroduced as a level-85 Heroic 5-player dungeon.

Ever a player favorite, the level-85 10- and 25-player raid of Firelands is being reintroduced as a level-85 Heroic 5-player dungeon.

Ever a player favorite, the level-85 Heroic 5-player dungeon of Deadmines is being reintroduced as a level-85 Heroic 5-player dungeon.

Here are the notes
