Fade Away…

A week ago we finally finished our Ulduar 10 achievements for our lovely drakes and the plan was… to go back and get achievements for those that had shown up for a couple and help them finish them off.

Mountain o Mounts (93/100)

Marisse is into nerd points (read: achievement points).  She really lives for them and I’ve managed to capitalize on this very recently.  She’s been gathering a group of talented people for Ulduar achievements and it culminated this last Sunday with…

so… yea… I mighta deleted my screenshot because I thought I had already uploaded it.  It looks like I didn’t though.  I do have the big pic posted on our guild site though!

Even Death can be overcome

Uld10 is done…

…and I don’t mean done in that we cleared it.  I mean done in that I’m done leading it.

Every week I’ve put it together and it has been a pain in my ass.  A tank no shows or a DPS or a healer or I have a different signup of peeps… just a total hassle.  It stopped being fun for me awhile ago which is pretty sad.

This past Saturday finally broke my back.  I solo lead… I don’t like to share the leading and I delegate very little.  In my 10man though everyone thinks they have a voice.

They don’t.

It was… too many melee

And it worked.  If you read this post, it talked about the difficulties we’ve been having with Thorim.  We were using like 17 million melee on him.

Which turns into 17 million dead melee after the first chain lightning.

Changed slotting practices for this week specifically for him.  We took 4 melee and 3 tanks (a bit extreme and it made the pit more difficult) but it worked anyway.  Another bonus thing we did is that I put the Shadow Priest in the group with the 4 melee and she Mind Controlled a Dark Rune Warbringer.  They have an Aura of Celerity that increases melee, ranged, and casting speeds by 20%.  It only effects the group of the person who is MC’ing them which is why I went with melee.  Better chance they will always be in range of them.

We also skipped out on moving out of the lightning volleys.  We just healed through them as movement lowers your DPS.  We scraped by… but we did it.

Note: The rounded corners are a salute to Leafshine because I think she’s one of those people who just naturally take great photos.  Then her editing them (WITH ROUNDED CORNERS!) looks awesome.
