Tonight, the Mageroyal Syndicate did some Karazhan, and we rocked it all the way to Shade of Aran. Not bad for about 2.5 hours.

  • Attumen - one shot
  • Moroes - one shot
  • Maiden - one shot
  • Romulo and Julianne - one shot
  • Curator - one shot
  • Illhoof - one shot
  • Shade of Aran - one shot
Now, having two warrior tanks, instead of our usual combination of warrior and pally, made the AoE groups a pain. Mostly for the warlocks, Darzen and Jurus. And the mage, Zoonzonzil. They died a few...

Diablo 3 is announce and a few concerns....

Posted 06-29-2008 at 11:46 AM by khelben
So like the rest of world (of warcraft players), i also saw the teaser trailers for Diablo 3. Can I just say, "I can't wait for this game to come out". It's the welcome break from WoW that I'm looking for and still allow me to satisfy my gamer's craving.

But I'm also somewhat apprehensive about a few things:

....will this new product delay the release of WotLK?

...will this also delay the launch of StarCraft 2?

.... will I get...

Last night was the best one-third of heroic Blood Furnace that I've ever run. Why only one third? Because our guild's only ret pally, and a good RL friend of mine, needed a new libram, and the best one he can get drops off of the first boss in BF - but on heroic only. The group was as follows:

  • Me - the prot warrior
  • Qadash - everybody's favorite ret pally
  • Zigystardust - Shaman extraordinaire (currently enhancement)
  • Maevie - Doctorate in 1337 healz
  • Tryni - Stone-cold sexy enhancement

[Bear Skin Rug] and Deathfrost

So, at long last, I finally was the designated tank for a T6 boss. Thursday I got to tank archimonde. Ended up being archimonde wipes. 12 of them, due to NO fault of my own.

Fairly solid, if I do say so myself. One of my favorite moments...
