I raid on US-Khaz'goroth as a mage and a protection warrior. Bouncing between Sunwell Plateau and Serpentshrine Cavern and all the zones in-between, I'm one confused raider.

How did it come to this?

I play this game primarily for raiding progression.

On a night of wipes, I always believe the next attempt will clinch the fight for us.

I'm proud of the fact that I was a key raider in TBC and always got a spot in the hardest fights that secured my guild as one of the best raiding guilds in my server.

During the finalisation of WotLK raid composition at the end of TBC, I got the green light to switch from my mage to prot warrior. It was a natural follow...

Breaking In

Hello all,

Long time no update. Since the onset of WotLK, changes and new decisions have swept us all along relentlessly. New classes, new zones, new reps to grind, new raids to clear. In this holiday season, I finally have a chance to catch my breath.

I've bitten the bullet and made the switch from mage to warrior. Lots to say about the overall experience, but I shan't, because others have done it and done a better job before me. Instead, I'll talk about what's been...

Guild Drama

Progression has stalled in both my mage’s and warrior’s guilds. Disconnections during Felmyst have been plaguing us, and a recent spate of hackery and people taking the opportunity to jump ship have resulted in a guild playlet and reshuffling in my warrior’s guild.

It all started out when the GM got hacked. In the middle of the night, the hackers stripped all her characters, cleaned out the guild bank, and transferred her main character off the server. To do that, they had to disband...

Difficult Decisions

Posted 10-05-2008 at 09:51 PM by Elyvern (A Mage and Her Pet Tank)

Raids are winding down. My mage's guild is still stuck at Felmyst, not because of the boss per say, but because of the dreaded DC bug that causes a quarter of the raid to disconnect during the breath phase. I'm one of the unlucky bunch that keeps DCing. And lemme tell ya, it's a grave insult that I keep getting asked to drop my graphic details to the lowest when I just busted my wallet on a new comp (2.80g quad core overclocked, 8g ram, ATI 4870 gfx overclocked).

Yesterday, I raided...

Shoulders Make the Tank

We downed Brutallus! Now we can say our Kalecgos kill wasn't a fluke! I did my personal best at 2015 dps for one of the attempts. It's nothing to write home about, but as a mage, it's a milestone in my raiding career.

And on to more frivolous news...

My warrior recently got his T5 shoulders and to say that it was an itch I have been longing to scratch is an understatement. I remember seeing my main guild's MTs getting theirs over a year ago and being terribly impressed...
