Mimi down

Posted 06-02-2009 at 07:15 PM by Machus

So tonight, an hour before maintenance we went to Mimi. We promptly blew up the tank, sensibly ran around the gun while destroying it, straightforwardly dispatched the head, and carefully dismantled all the pieces again. And then it was dead and we got some loot.

Isn't it strange when a task that previously felt overwhelming and difficult suddenly comes through simply and easily?

The thing that helped a lot, for me, was the simplest tip from Cider's latest movie. I...

Warrior Ability Retrospective #1 - Bloodthirst

Posted 06-02-2009 at 11:01 AM by Mindy

This is something I always wanted to write about, but didn't know where to do it exactly. A look back at the warrior skills and talents of yore. So let's start with...

Bloodthirst - 20 rage - 4 second cooldown
Instantly attack the target causing [AP * 50 / 100] damage. In addition, the next 3 successful melee attacks will restore 1% of max health. This effect lasts 8 sec. Damage is based on your attack power. (From wowhead).

Quite a long way from it's original...

Heroic Strike spam needs to go :(

Incoming rant

Do you really feel more involved spamming that HS key during a boss fight? It's not like this is a pro Starcraft game (just watch any of them on youtube - you'll see how many keyboard presses those progamers do :O).

It's been a long way from MC tanking, and HS's function hasn't changed. Use it when you have extra...

End the week with a Good note

Posted 06-02-2009 at 01:44 AM by Hayate

After countless wiping this week on Freya 2 Elder, we finally got it, and we switch our focus to 3 light in the Darkness.

After roughly 2 hours of more wiping on phase 1 on Yogg, people in raid finally able to stop spawning extra Guardian, after get through phase 1, things were getting very smooth.

Earlier this week we also got XT hardmode, this week we end with a good note, too bad the Best in Slot Tanking Mace didn't drop, hopefully this reset it will drop. keeping my...
