So where do I start on this Weekend’s update? I really just don’t know. There are so many things that are going on in the guild it kinda hurts to think about them all at once. So I suppose I’ll go chronologically.
Friday we hit up ICC10. We had raided on Tuesday and got Marrowgar down, goodness did I miss a Tuesday post? Sorry all, this week’s been long and busy. Anyways, so on Friday we knocked down Lady Deathwhisper. Most of the usual suspects were there, so you police don’t have to look to far for the culprit of who wiped the raid. Props to Loumenafor hopping on! Sad face to Rekkoning who may or may not be on a government mission in the Alaskan backcountry with no hope of outside contact and some flint and a fishing pole to survive on. In his stead we had the wonderful, magnificent, mac-loving Selvain shake his Big Bear Butt at the bad guys and wooohooo did he do a great job. Seriously, the druid tank/ druid heals combo is pretty nice if I do say so myself. Dmitrious cheated on us during the week (Yup, we aren’t going to let you live that one down EVER) so he couldn’t join us for any of the bosses! Finally, Akusuama hit level 80! WHOOHOOOOHOHOHO YEA!!!!! So now he can be booty called to raids and his first was Friday night kicking some butt in ICC. I am not sure if the shell shock has had time to wear off. So we pummeled Saurofang at the end of the night and left it at that.
Saturday we still couldn’t seem to get Dmitrious to see us in the dungeon but we kicked Fester in the gut anyway. Yup we rocked it out. Funny, the trap didn’t trigger on the run in. Too bad our rogue is um, absent as of late (well, actually not too bad for him, shout out to you Kralkurth, you know why!). We had loads of fun waiting for people while starting the raid. We had tried to pug someone in, but they seemed to d/c conveniently before things started. No, I won’t name names, but you can always leave a comment and I will tell you later. People had sandbox tigers out, crashing-thrashing racers, and all sorts of in game pets. The gnome with the pet gnome little helper was pretty classic. McLovin and I had a great time with the racers too, I try to bring it out and this was the first time someone else had one!
So, since Rotface didn’t appear to be in the forecast for the evening we headed out to ONY. Again, Akusuama in tow, never having seen ony before. The, “Oh, this will be fun” comment started to be code for “don’t worry Aku, you’ll die and laugh because it will be so fast”. In his defense he did a great job and only died when we all did, but I get ahead of myself. Our tanks were awesome- Danewort flawless as usual and Selvain rocking out the bear like no one else can. Our dps was ready, spatially aware, and excited to go. Healers, well, I don’t want to say it, but Darthaniel and I make a pretty nice team. So when Ony went up fast to phase 2 we weren’t really surprised. When all the whelps were picked up and adds brought down, it wasn’t that big of a deal. When no one, I mean NO ONE, took damage from deep breath, well, that was actually a shocker, but it still was cool. Things were just too nice and smooth for us so when not one, but two or three people got throw in the pits during phase 3, the raid started to fall to pieces. Selvain did a great job trying to pick them up, but at a certain level there were just too many to handle, and with the fears, and the tremor totems not working, and one healer down, one interrupted too much to get heals off then going near oom, cloth dps dropping like flies, high dps trying to kill them before they killed us accidentally getting in the way of the tail….man it was crazy. And all the while Ony’s health just kept droping, sooooo close! And our trusty Paladin Tank Danewort goes down with her at a little more then 4,000 health. BUT WAIT! Alas, beyond the reach of the chaos is the audacious mage Heiliger, who this long while has dreamed of being a tank (so much so that he pulls mobs for the raid- shout out to you for being awesome). And with courage and disregard for his own life, the little gnome rushes in, tanks the entire 50000 mobs in the room, and single handedly slays Onyixa without breaking a sweat. It was so epic you could hear the cries of triumph from the dead in vent. Go Heiliger you are made of awesome and win.
But wait! There is MORE! One lucky member of our guild now holds the Reins of Onyxian Drake. Props to Akuasama for kindly deferring to a member who already had epic and cold weather flying, and congrats to Darthaniel for owning one of the rarest drops ever. If his calculations are correct, if the guild ran Ony every week for 100 years, we all may eventually get the mount. It’s even a 310%. I am sorry for not getting a picture up on the page for you all, I was too in shock and awe when he first mounted up. I’ll be sure to stalk him accordingly to post one.
More shout outs to a new member of the guild. He joins us as a night elf hunter and hopefully I’ll have his name all spelled right soon so you can say hi in game. He’s a real life friend that can finally hang out with our awesome guild in game. I won’t surprised if he’s level 80 by the weekend.
