Just hit 77, after running both Gundrak and HoS three times a piece today, with a bit of questing on the side. I'm just 300g from flying in Northrend. Would already have it if I didn't have to spend so much to make those engineering trinkets..

Bright side, I picked up 5 blues in the instances today. HoS is pretty cool, too.

Asmo spotted me 400g to pick up CWF. Thanks Asmo!

Ran HoL, grabbed two blues. Going to do a couple more runs later for the rest of the mage-drops, and hope I'm 78 before hitting up UP, in hopes of getting that caster-dagger and offhand there.

Always been running Frost spec, but after that 80 where they kept aggro quite well, think I'll be gunning to dual-spec with arcane asap. Thinking it'll be better to suffer lower DPS a bit longer with frost, while still being able to solo multiple mobs outside.

Hey all WoW'ers!

Amp and I are starting a guild and could use a little help getting it off the ground.

If you have a WoW account, could you make a level 1 Horde character on Lightning Hoof to get it started. The guild is called Harrow Mourning (

) and I'll be Guild Mastering.

Find Delarel in-game, or post a message or on IRC if you're willing to help out.

More details once we get it established.

So I've hit 80 for the first time. I've completed a normal run on every dungeon, and heroic on all but CoS and ToC. Got lucky on my early heroics, was able to get decent groups, and got a lot of gear quick. I've got some pretty decent stuff going on now, and keep up with the pros now.

Picked up the Gargolye Femur from PoS(H), put the black magic enchant on, got my head enchanted too, and im working up decent gems for the rest of my gear. Went the typical 57/3/11 mage build, and the results are fantastic. With a good group and buffs, and I can hold 2500-3000 dps, though SimulationCraft says I can do nearly twice that (lol wut).

Also: why is Oculus still a big deal? Took all of 20 minutes to do on Heroic, included me who had never been there before. Got some blues, and 3 scarlet rubies from the goods bag at the end == 1 H Oculus == 150g+ Similar goods from my party mates, too.

I dunno, I never found Occulus hard either. Really the only very difficult part I've come across in Lich King is the Gauntlet. Maybe it varies by group composition?

I hit 70 yesterday, and making good progress through Northrend.

Get into a 25-man and your dps should match your simcraft output. Should, at least.

Pushed my dps to 4k yesterday, when running with guild mates. That was before upgrading some of my gear further, too. Held 3500 in Heroic PoS this morning. Hoping to fix up my boots, back, and belt before my guild plans on running some raids on Tuesday (lol, Ony and ToC).

Also: Got the Jeeves schematic. Have like 448 engineering now, just need to make a couple more army knives. Have all the mats, including the make the titansteel for Jeeves. Just waiting on the cooldowns. But seriously, titanium is already a bitch to get, and 6 ore per titansteel? Give me a break on this cooldown bullshit. Bad enough Jeeves is worth a couple grand in mats to begin.

If you're smart you'll buy up all the saronite bars you can find and get a nice alch friend to xmute it all for you.

I'd still have the bogus cooldown to wait on.

Had a 5 man H-ToC ruined by two trolls, that started the jousting event, and then left the instance (but not group), and fucked around until the 15 mins was up. The other idiots that were in group left seconds before time was up, and we could have kicked them. People are so dumb.

Went to HoR for the first time tonight, and we wiped twice. Healer dropped, and then we waited for 5 mins, before one of them triggered the event and left. Invis'd my ass outta there before the doors shut.

Don't get the whole "cant kick before 15 mins" is up. Some people afk into the things, or just troll like that. It's rewarding the trolls and punishing people that want to play. Sick of paying out in time and gold for it.

Protip: Titanium is off cooldown.

lol @ people demanding 5K+ gear score for VoA and similar

Did ToC 10 and Ony 10 a couple days back. Ony was really easy, and ToC would have been easy had I read about the fights beforehand. Got the achievements, and a 232 belt, so I'm happy.

Decided to get exalted with AD for the title. About 7k from it now, which is probably 2 clears of Strat. AND now that all my PVE gear is up to date (as much as possible with Triumph), and I'm saving for a shiny PVP set (even if it's the previous seasons arena set). Watched some videos with frostmage pvp, do want.

Asmo, Lajon, and I are all playing quite a lot now, rocking some 80s. Join with us, and we'll go questing, instancing, raiding together o/

Asmodai · « **Reply #136 on:** February 21, 2010, 06:01:26 PM »

Yep, enjoying my 80 so far - mostly running heroics and trying to gear up. Good times.

Went to ICC for the first time last night. Got an extra slot with a guild, in a 10 man run. Besides dying at Marrowgar during his spin-fast-as-shit-and-murder-yall bit, I did pretty well. I did surprisingly OOM during Saurfang, but we managed to beat him without him casting his epic spell once. We killed up to the huge dog in Plagueworks before calling it a night, supposed to continue from there tonight. There's a lock and priest, and we all got shit already, so I'm hoping to have a chance at caster drops.

I've also did Ony25 now, VoA a few times, and ToC25 twice. Though, the ToC25s never finished, one stuck on the twins, and the other Anub. Probably would have helped had two dps not left after wiping to Anub once.. lol enrage
