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...

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...

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.

Off to the Horde Encampment, and needing to replace several healers that had to leave. No problem. I was more worried about mana users not having a single shred of shadow resist on them. Against Kaz'rogal - that's going to be interested.

Now up to Anetheron, the trash packs have been relatively straightforward. But here we're getting frostwyrms and gargoyles. This was when things started getting messy. The range dps pulled the gargoyles down to the ground by outranging them, except...

I was dragged muzzily out of sleep by an alarm clock that was rapidly running out of battery for beeping, oh, probably the last few hours.

Yep.

I overslept.

On the day I get my first chance to tank Mount Hyjal with a pug raid that depends on us getting it right the first time for any chance of repetition.

I logged on as fast as I could, got invited, started inviting my guild's alts that signed up. Crisis adverted?
