Part of the reason is the fact I want to show off my new hunter helm. Bridgeburners let me run with them last night, and I scored my tier helm off of Twin Consorts. More importantly I got to see the fights on 10 man from Durumu to Lei Shen. There were only two fights that I spent the last half floor tanking as well, which made me happy. (Those fights being Durumu and Lei Shen) I didn't quite crack the DPS that everyone else was pulling, but I don't feel I was too much of a strain on their raid team as well. Big ups to them though for being gracious enough to invite me along. I even cleared my transmog so I could look all lizardy and stuff. Yes, I am arguing for lizardy being an actual word.
I will be back for Wednesday's raid though, and depending on how things go tonight, I put up a tentative raid for Thursday night, so if things do not happen Tuesday we will still have a chance to get two nights in. If we do well enough, I may see if people want to raid all three, but that depends on interest. A lot of us due to jobs/kids/etc... get overwhelmed if we do extra raid nights. That's not to say it will never happen.
Alright, Tuesday night rocked without me. Due to a couple of absences the team pulled in someone from trade chat, and big ups to Izaziss from Crimson Shadows for coming in and helping out. With his help the raid team downed Horridon so that makes a big win. I managed to sneak into vent after I got off work and listed to the last bit of raid.
Then came Thursday night... coming off a fresh win I rejoined the team to go fight the Council of Elders. At first, this fight summarily destroyed us quickly. We walked in and died very quickly. Then our raid team did what they did best. We paid attention. Each pull we would take note, people would give suggestions, and we would adjust our strategy to these observations. We worked hard and worked together, and end of story,
Council of Elders Down!
So big cheers for Creap, Magilla, Gwyndolynn, Ithuriol, Gwyndolynn, Shaqia, Easybake, Lotauna, Carder (Wednesday's raid), Scorpiack, Armmond (Tuesday's raid) and Lazyeye. (Me) Yes, I'm egotistical enough to give myself props, I admit it.
That is three of twelve in Throne of Thunder now. I did keep the extra raid open for tonight, and if enough people show we will fight Tortos a few times as well. I would love to take down that villain in a half shell... ok, he's freaking all shell and the few pulls we got in last night took us down quickly. However since that is how council started I'm looking forward to us taking him down. We are moving forward, and will be doing some happy damage from here on out.
I do want to give a shout out to Amelmi for switching to his DK Creap for now. As one of our tanks is quitting the game soon for Final Fantasy when it re-releases, he is swapping to the second tanking position for now, and doing a darn fine job of working with Magilla. Also a shout out to Ithuriol who is back as an officer, and hopefully as soon as things settle, I can convince to start working on that second raid team again. Maybe... I want the first raid team secure first. Mwha ha ha.
If we raid tonight, I will do another post to address it. I just wanted to make sure I shot this out with the same frequency of my other posts.
Lazyeye (I'm going back to one sig for now)
