Results from this past Wednesday's raid:
Razorgore... Down
Vael... Down
Broodlord... Down
Firemaw... Down
Onyxia... Down

 

Not only did we take all of those down, we did not wipe on any of them.  For the most part we had minimal losses on each of them.  I did not require a rez all night (was sweet, after raiding BWL and an Ony run my total repair bill was less than one gold!).  The Ony run we did with several alts and other non-BWL raiding people.  I didn't get any upgrades but the experience was awesome.  TE-PWNAGE at it's finest.

This weekend we will clear up to Nef and should make a few runs at him Sunday night.  It would be a GREAT kick-off to the month by clearing BWL.

 

I set up a Yahoo Group for our Monday Night Crew. (WOW_MNC)  I hope this way we can communicate with each other and possibly add more people to our ranks.  In addition to Dejah, Stabum, Laurellita, Thac, and me we have been adding Tealy and Jovis (or his mage).  Wiildiana (She is an old-school Ranger from Lanys-EQ) and a couple others have been joining in the fun.  Most of the people in the MNC are old time MW'ers.  Proving that MW is alive in spirit even if most of the people now wear other guild tags.

:::27 February 2006:::
An AMAZING week for TE!  We took down Ebonroc, Flamegor and Chromaggus!  Now all that stands between us and owning all BWL is Nef.  His fight looks to be CRAZY.  We will be attempting Nef for the first time tonight.  I hope I can get on-line in time.  Looking back I was in the raids that had the First Kill for all the BWL bosses except Vael and Ebonroc (I was in on the first attempts at each of those, but just missed the first kill.  I joined in on the raid that killed Ebonroc right after roc went down.  The sad thing about that is I still am lacking gear from MC.  We start MC too early for my schedule.  It is hard for me to have been to all the BWL bosses and still I have not been to all the MC bosses yet.

 

Blizzard announced the Priest class review changes.  The Priests LOVE it.  I am rather pissed about it.  When the Community Managers stated that the class reviews were being done in order from the ones with the most work needed to the least and that classes after the Paladin class would not be getting as much of a rebuild, I felt lied to and totally disrespected as a Paladin.  The Priest rework was much more complete, comprehensive and overall a better job than anything done for the Paladin Class.  They got many new talents, upgraded their spells and gave them many more options to play their class.  The Paladin review, in contrast, was a few bug fixes (and introduced more bugs) and a shuffling of our still messed up talent trees that resulted in making the Protection Tree -- my idea of what a Paladin SHOULD be, Holy Knight, Grand Protector -- useless.  I did a re-spec to get ready for patch 1.10.  I picked up Lasting Judgement and changed from benediction to Improved Blessing of Might(to help with raids) I also picked up Holy Shock since in 1.10 Divine Favor and Illumination will apply to the spell and the damage/healing is to be increased, the mana cost reduced and range extended.  That may make it a worthwhile spell (the jury is still out)

 

Last Thursday we did a farming run in ZG (I think my re-spec will help this too).  All I have to say is WOW!  We started with six people and at one time were down to just three.  We were farming Bijous from the Son's of Hakkar.  We were there for maybe 2 hours and made over 150GP.  It was fast and furious fun, especially when there was just the three of us.  I went from Tank to Healer to DPS and Back again to all those roles for many mobs.  We did not have a single death nor were we close at any time.  After that, we did a Strat run and I won an Orb.  Appache wanted to buy the orb so I sold it to him for 80gp (I could have gotten 120+ in the AH).  With that and the ZG runs my bank is finally over the 300gp mark (for the first time since I got my Charger).  With Repair Costs going well over 6GP each time (closer to 12 when broken) having that extra GP will be nice. 

 

Ghaani has even gotten a bit of Gold as well, as her bank is over 40 GP.  I have been doing some lower raids with her, UBRS, Strat, LBRS, Barron.  She has not gotten any nice upgrades but the money and skill is nice.  Saturday Night I took her on a UBRS run (followed by a Barron run) and with my gimped gear I was the #2 overall DPS and Damage for each (followed only a 60 rogue each time)  I put out more damage than the Warlocks, other hunter, rogue, and mage in each of them and I was really happy.  I wonder what it would be like if I had some decent gear.
