Man the harpoons!

After a night raiding two instances, killing Chimaeron and Cho’gall, we took a nice relaxing break to the waters of Vashj’ir.

However it turned out Doug had a sinister plan for the spot as he immediately turned his attention to the Whale Shark swimming around. Many insisted that we’re gonna need a bigger boat, but channeling his inner Ahab he went ahead and aided by Ds, Runningfree, Lurppis, Hvid, Morgain, Sunblazer and Marijana the shark was kited to death to complete From Hell’s Heart I Stab at Thee.

Disappointing to find out he didn’t have any loot. Guess we should have read the achievement more closely..

Drops from the two bosses we killed:

Chimaeron
Heart of Rage & Brackish Gloves

Cho’gall
Twilight’s Hammer & Membrane of C’Thun

Happy New Year!

May the new year bring you lots of loot and epics!

For the second week of Cataclysm raiding my true love gave to me

Five man group achievements

Six hundred people on the Tol Barad bridge

Seven days of dailies

Eight new skills in jewelcrafting

Nine people to raid with

Ten Heroes of Gondor

Mistaken friend — A sign it is getting too late

First two bosses down in Blackwing Descent

Cataclysm raiding for nam started Sunday in Baradin Hold where the boss only dropped cloth pvp items, so we are just going to ignore that for now. Moving on to Blackwing Descent everyone met with blue gear mixed with some epics and we got our first proper taste of Cataclysm raiding. Healers were wondering why the mana had gone . Our tanks were scared knowing Doug had to heal, but Sunblazer and Fauxer didn’t die …that much. No more than once per wipe anyway.

Second raid was on Tuesday and nam managed to get down the two first bosses in Blackwing Descent which made us into a Level 4 Guild!* When all periods of the Omnitron Defense System were sorted and DS stopped dying our first boss was down. Once we had Magmaw securely hooked and Schnapknight stopped mistaking his plate armour as tank gear we killed him too. The dagger for Equx dropped and Runningfree politely declined healing leather as he is terrified of trees.

Doug the Hero of Gondor — Guess who missed the portal to Orgrimmar

Zenon picked up a a hoodie as Marijana thought it was too ghetto. Fauxer got a new weapon despite Lurppis claiming it a hunter weapon.

What is your coolest encounter so far in Cataclysm? For me this encounter ranks high:

For a different kind of Descent go here.

* not really

nam goes 10 man for Cataclysm

With the upcoming changes for Cataclysm, in regards to raiding lockout and rewards, nam has decided to go for 10 man raid size. In order to prepare for that several members were removed, not something done lightly. The primary reason is that there are 15 less spots and the Officers felt this would give people time to organize before Cataclysm.

Most of them are good players who would be a great addition to any guild or raid.
