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...

It's such a CHORE....to raid BT/MH...

Currently, my mage's guild is onto Brutallus, with two tries last week trying to hit the enrage timer without any deaths. This upcoming week, we will be tweaking group setups for maximum dps to burn him down.

I burned through 4 dps flasks, 40 destruction pots, 10 flamecaps, several dps oil flasks and stacks of dps food during last week's attempts. All in all, I must've spent around 400-500g on repairs and consumables. Still, I enjoyed it immensely. It's been a while since I'd face...

The Sanctity of Tank-Target Relationship

If you go HUH!?, you pretty much mirrored my response when I saw this posted on my warrior’s guild forums.

The guildie who coined that phrase was a prot pally assigned to tank the first guardian to be burned down in a Lurker fight. He simply couldn’t hold snap-aggro, causing the mob to turn around, attack the dps and cleaving several bystanders to death.

I was main-tanking the fight, and I’d jump out of the water to assist before Lurker reappeared. Torn between letting...
