Healers suck!

We do indeed! By becoming dependent on barely collapsable clouds within the Emerald Dream, we can really pump out some numbers that we should clearly be able to do normally. Dreamwalker appreciates a good healer these days.

No bones! Yeah, it was a one shot tonight. Pretty impressive I must say. Here's a sampling of just how bad healers suck on this fight:

So as you can plainly see, we healed the wrong target. Risen Archmage? Yeah, we are quite terrible.

Redlightnin is correct in his assessment though. Holy crap Carl! Suck less please!

Bloody Hell...

First she shatters the High Elves sacred sword, which gets remade.

Then she resurrects her three hoodlums for another Kael'thas moment, and then they die.

Then she tries to make us into vampires...

I think you can see a pattern here.

Quick and painless! We could have spent time on Dreamwalker, but we wanted to get more Vanquisher tokens instead.

Legendary!

For some, this might be no big deal. But for us, it sorta is. You see, this is our first legendary the guild has obtained in an active expansion / raid season. It'll definately be put to good use.

Nejji has legendaries as well, but he's our tank, which doesn't count.

Congrats once again Stormkiss!

Not so good news

This guy isn't Jesus coming to deliver to us the good news. Quite the contrary.

Good riddance.

They got their inspiration from Kael'thas

Killing these guys the first time was only a setback! Seriously Blizzard, the "Kael'thas" approach to bosses is getting old.

We were hoping the 25 man version would do the 10 man damage...since apparently Blizzard got it wrong in 10 man. But whatever

Funny. I've gotten far worse insults in my WoW career. The seeds of hatred have been planted. Should I show him the "Chicago way" of doing things?

Two can be as bad as one

This news is a tad old, but I was hoping for us to kill Putricide and then I could post the kills en masse.

Festergut is a new Patchwerk. You gotta have X amount of DPS to kill him before the enrage. It's not terribly difficult, as long as you don't have people vomiting on one another. You cannot really afford anyone to die either, so healers need to stay awake.

Rotface, on the other hand, is more relaxed. You can fight him for as long as you want; it doesn't matter! The fight mechanics are so boring that the fight can be done with potentially as little as 4 healers. Of course, knowing our raid group, we try to keep things "interesting." Such things usually end up with me yelling over Vent, Redlightnin having a heart attack, Carl getting another beer, Stormkiss DC'ing, or Deathryzer talking on Vent to scare Red.

I will not deliver the good news yet because, well, there is no good news yet! I'm so sick of hearing those two words!

Storming the Citadel

It feels a bit awkward storming into a place that has been barricaded for the past...oh I don't know...7 years now? It's been a while since we last visited Icecrown Citadel. But finally after the Argent Crusade discovered a fantastic siege weapon called a "battering ram," we finally get to head inside and make way to Arthas.

Lord Marrowgar was our first encounter. I don't have much to say about this boss except he's like Supremus, but in an amusing way. After killing him, you can get an amazing upwards view of the frozen spire.

Lady Deathwhisper was next. Despite her name, she doesn't whisper sweet nothings to you. Remember Moam from AQ20? You needed like 7 priests to mana burn that asshole in addition to Viper Sting and everything else. In this fight however, it's far more civilized.

After that boss is the most ingenious boss...erm, encounter, in WoW. A one-on-one battle between a Horde gunship and an Alliance gunship. Yes, they have names, but that isn't important. I cannot begin to tell you have unbelievably boring the fight is from a healer perspective. Henceforth, that is why it's fun. Also, rocket packs on a druid's ass. Andas has never looked so aggressive.

Finally, the son of a father that has been known to absolutely decimate Alliance raids in Orgrimmar. Yes, Saurfang made his return to ICC, but in the form of a DK. He sadly doesn't live up to his reputation of his father and rather looks like a whimp. You might be asking yourself why he isn't in our kill shot. Well his father had the audacity to arrive and take his bloody body away. We were never given a opportunity to tea-bag or do anything else.

I'm also happy to report that Blizzard made Muradin Bronzebeard black like Brann was early in the expansion. He sounds like the Demoman in Team Fortress 2.

Future content is locked until after January arrives. Blizzard did that for obvious reasons.

In the meantime, everyone have a Merry Christmas and a Happy...w/e that Jewish holiday is. I can never spell it.

Great job everybody. We can now stop blaming random people for destroying Azeroth.

I should learn to complain more often. It is quite amazing when it produces results afterwards. Slight tweak in strategy and bingo!

47 tries left. Twins is the nuisance now, but I think we got a tip-top strategy for that now. We will be getting Insanity in no time!

Still recruiting by the way! And I still love holy paladins!

Windows 7 comes out on Thursday. It is a definate must-buy if you hated Vista. I was one of those people. I got mine through the MSDN, RTM version. Unfortunately, in the midst of switching over to 7 from Vista, I forgot some things...

Ventrilo refused to work in 7 because of the lousy investment I made a few months ago. Yes, I bought one of those Killer NIC cards. $200 investment never really paid off. Uninstalled the damn thing and Vent resumed working. But that didn't stop the ridicule.

Anyways, throughout our WoW adventures people have gotten considerably larger bags. Fianguard, or Finagle, doesn't like to upgrade bags and would rather carry useless shit.

Finally, few months ago, I got the Foam Sword Rack from the TCG. I usually place it down here and there. Some people don't like to join in the fun. Their loss. But this, I don't know, what do you think?

Still recruiting...especially Paladins!

As a priest, there is nothing I love more than paladins.

Paladins are pro on various fights. Take this one for example:

Make this heroic, say 10 man for example.

Now add this:

That is mine. We got lucky because priests are OP...when dead. Yes, Spirit of Redemption allowed us to get it. I was the sacrificial lamb.

However, if you were to say put a paladin in my place, here's what would happen:

-Bubble -> Holy Light spam GG -> Boss dies.

And then you could get this:

And then the rest afterwards

And yes, you can be useful for other things too, such as 25 mans and heroics.

...

We are also still looking for DPS. The classes we want is to the left

HOLY PALADINS!
