:::10 November 2006:::
Been a decent week so far. I did get attuned to MC (will be RAIDING
MC tonight!!!) and I got attuned to BWL. I did my first guild raid this week. We had a crew that went to UBRS
and we did good. We cleared the whole place with just one wipe (at Drakk). On run I did get a new Helm and general
Drakk's shield (woot! I need to get to 58 to use it) I was also given a gift of the Bracers and Gloves of Valor (the
Warrior Tier 0 set). That gives me 3/8 on that set. With the MC run tonight I might get lucky and get something
(not holding my breath). When I got my MC attunement I had to zone in to MC and give Rag a shout "Hey Rags! I'm
back! I'm coming for you!" It was a bit of a rush to be back in MC after so long. I can't wait for tonight
to go in there and do some fighting.
I hit 57 yesterday and right now I am about 30% in the level. Last night we did the Blightcaller. That was
fun. I decided on the Gorewood bow for the stats (+sta, +agi and +str). I know that dwarfs have a +5 to guns,
but as much as I use ranged the increase in stats will be the greater benefit.
The UBRS raid did give me some insight as to what my final spec will be at 60. I will build to be "Kill Assist"
where I have mostly Fury but have the non-shield defense skills added and the stance swap skills. It will also, with
some gear swaps, allow for me to do some tanking when needed.
Updated goals:
Get to 60! (57 now, will be 60 sometime next week)
Get Ony Key
Finish BRD (I have EIGHT quests
to complete there)
Get Greater Fire Resist Potion Recipe
Get faction with AD & Timbermaw
Start building FR gear

I need to get better at my updates.
Little G hit 56 last night. He has
Herbalism and Alchemy to 300. I have started many of the BRD quests. I completed the Warrior quests in ST.
I am debating on doing the Hakkar quests in ST. I don't really like that zone and the reward, in my opinion, is not
really worth the effort. I should just focus on BRD and the Plaguelands quests. Hopefully I will get my MC attunement
tonight with the guild run. Last night I went in with a PUG to try. We did OK until we got to the chamber of the
seven. We had a level 50 Pally (BRD is a 52+ instance) and he was basically good for nothing. He didn't have enough
mana to heal, and he could not land his vs Undead spells against the mobs leaving him with zero DPS. To make matters
worse, he was the rezzer and he kept releasing the soulstone causing us to run all the way back to the instance. I was
greatly discouraged because I told the group that a level 50 would not be able to help us and that his level would cause extra
aggro. They dismissed my concerns saying that he had good gear. I went along because I needed to get that quest
from BRD. It did help that we had a level 60 mage in the group (it hurt us at first because he was nuking like crazy
really testing my ability to maintain aggro). We did the arena and made our way to the general (the pally was getting
all sorts of extra aggro). On our first attempt of the general the mage, warlock and druid started AOE'ing before I
had a chance to hit the general. All their casting made it impossible for me to establish and hold the general.
When we got him down to 25% and he summons help, the Pally had no clue that the mobs were coming and ran. We all died,
and the pally had released the SS, so we had to run back. On the way back I got them to understand that I needed to
get a couple sunders in before they engaged. The second time they let me and we had no problems. Once they understood
what I was doing, we didn't have many issues, that is until the chamber of the seven. Our group makeup really was not
made to do a high DPS fight. The Mage left and we added a 60 druid (balance spec). Our makeup was 50 Pally, 54
Lock, 55 Warrior, 56 Druid, and 60 Druid. If we had a higher level (55+) Pally we would have been fine. I guess
it is needless to say that we didn't get finished.
Earlier in the weekend I went on a Maruadon run with some guildies. I didn't need anything there but wanted to show
them around. The bad thing was we had a pick-up hunter. An ASS-HOLE hunter. (why do the majority of hunters have
to be assholes?) We were working our way in when a Blackskull Shield (PURPLE EPIC BoE LEWTS!) dropped. In Orpheus
groups, we have a habit of passing BOE blue-purple items. So one member of the party passed the roll the asshat hunter
rolled NEED, with one other PASS being selected at nearly the same time. I hit need after the fight because I wanted
to give everyone a chance to roll on the shield. Anyhow, the hunter won, and we asked to do a re-roll and the hunter
got rude, disbanded and stoned out. I asked him what the deal was and he replied "I don't have time to group with idiots."
My reply to him was short and indicated that he had just ruined his rep. After the run was complete I went to the WoW
realm message board and posted his actions. I have gotten a few comments, most of them on my side, and I feel that the
hunter in question now will have to deal with his questionable rep.
Oh, I ran into Dejah over the weekend. He wanted correct me where I said that he was not able to be in game.
He is still able to game, just not while his kids are up (he sounds like my arrangement). He still gets to raid on Sunday's
(I wish I did) and he will be back in force after the expansion. Hopefully I will have a new computer by the expansion
and will be able to group with Dej and the rest of the Crew then.
Stuff I need to complete on Little G:
Get to 60! (I am 56 now with a little luck I may be 60 by next week.)
Get MC
Attuned (will be done this week, hopefully tonight)
Get Greater Fire resist potion recipe
Start running MC!
Get my
Ony key
Get BWL attuned
