Ulduar 10

After having been incredibly lazy when it comes to Ulduar, we've finally decided that we need to complete all the hardmodes (including Algalon of course), so yesterday we went in and got some of them. Freya and some others were completed the other week so we went for Razorfail and Flame Leviathan, for me anyway. It's awesome to be in a group where we all know our place and are able to cooperate nicely, without taking away the fun side of it.

I was talking to someone the other week and discussed the topic healing, and how they couldn't trust theirs. I have to admit, I never ever check my health in a raid, because I've gotten so used to not dying. Think that is one of the keys to best performance in a raid, if you're constantly worrying about your health and whether to pop a potion or a healthstone, you're not as aware of what's going on around you or your rotation.

Kudos to our pro healers, especially Caleon (priest), Martinique (paladin) and Towelly (druid) for always being dependable :D

ToGC 10

So since the other team got A Tribute to Mad Skill last week, we decided that it was time to launch the second team - finally! I was a bit late, so had to be summoned in (apparently they had been waiting for me, sorry!) Either way, cleared it up to Anub with one wipe on each boss, one-shotting just doesn't suit us that well, and boosted an alt on the way.. sneaky rogues!

Anub turned out to be more of a challenge, but I think we can make it happen so long as we learn how to kite the spikes properly, it was a new fight for almost everyone in the group so it takes a bit to get used to, not to mention that Anub is like.. the bitchiest fight in the whole game, imo.

We had a pretty funny setup, with one of each class apart from mage, and we had two pallies instead. I'm not complaining though (blessings!)

We'll continue the run on Monday and hopefully get a sneaky shot at Algalon as well :)

Gnomeland undergoing changes?

We got a new GM the other week, and stuff is already starting to change. From being a somewhat casual raiding guild we are now, with babysteps, approaching a transformation into being a semi-hardcore raiding guild. We've got the people (sort of) and we've got the skills, question is if we've got the attitude within all the members. Some seem to be more into raiding when they can get gear from it and when they feel like it. Obviously, raiding shouldn't occur if everyone feels that they want to do something else, but why on Earth be in a raiding guild to start with then?

After an angry post on the guild forums, at least the

issues got addressed and as of now, I think the officers are working on a solution that's gonna make most raiders happy. A new guild name (oh, I do hope it's gonna be something that at least looks serious), new ranks and hopefully some new recruits, at least I'd love the latter since I'm a total sucker for getting to know new people. Maybe even out the genders, as of now we've got two girls raiding and hopefully one or two more on the way. Guys, you better watch out, girlpower is on the way!

Intromabob!

Hey, I'm Tryptizol and I'm addicted to WoW. There, I said it.

Don't know why I created this blog, really, guess I just want somewhere to vent about all our crazy adventures online ^_^

I'm currently spending most of my time raiding on my survival hunter, which you can find here:

http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Terokkar&n=Tryptizol, but of course I've also got a couple of alts that can entertain me when Anub asskicking isn't necessary.

I'm currently in the most epic guild ever, Gnomeland Security, which basically consists of an awesome group of people who know how to progress but also how to be amazing human beings with a lovely sense of humour.

Before I start babbling away too much, I guess I'll call it here. Moar to come, hopefully!

Cheers!
