Baron run marathon

January 11, 2006 By Gitr 6 Comments

We ran 2 Baron runs back to back last night with in-house raids. We did a 10-man first with what was referred to as “omgdps.” ๐Ÿ™‚ We had all 60s but a 54 and a 55. The raid included a total of 5 mages and warlocks that just plain nuked everything. With a slow 2H sword, I usually didn’t get 2 swings in before something died. Baron even fell in about 15 seconds. It was ridiculous zergging.

The second run was an 8-man with much less dps, so it was a little more controlled. We lost me a time or two when I actually got aggro when I tripped Recklessness and critted 3 times in a row.

It was an awesome night for loot:

Band of Flesh
Ramstein’s Lightning Bolts
Chitinous Plate Legguards
Peacemaker
Crest of Retribution
Skullforge Reaver
3x Corruptor’s Scourgestone
Banshee’s Touch
Massacre Swordร‚ย 

Of course, a lot of that stuff requires leveling to equip it, but I’m up to the challenge. I’ll be taking the night off, getting Gitr some rest, and then we’ll probably do Strat live side on Thursday night.

ร‚ย ร‚ย ร‚ย 
The best line of the night, right before the Baron’s chamber:
Gitr: Could you pull them back a little closer so I can hit them without pulling the entire room?
Paumen: Sure
Gitr: My agg radius in here is pretty big
Paumen: I don’t think it’s that big. How big is it?
Gitr: It’s HUGE
Paumen: Whip it out Gitr!
This was all on TeamSpeak, quickly followed by a couple of “whaaa??” from our female guildies. Then we got to relive it all over again for their benefit. LOL.

    Nice work! I was doing the same thing last night. Ran through UD side 3 times in a row looking for my Beaststalker boots, a Bone Slicing Hatchet, and Cape of the Baron. All 3 dropped in the final run last night, and I won all of them except the cape.

    Thank you. Now if only I could get this comment page to sit flush with the left side…

    It is nice to see a guild willing to take lower level players through UD Strat. I have been running a bunch of PUG groups through there and have seen people higher level than you get kicked from groups. Of course, those are PUGs where people are unwilling to do anything that might stand in the way of their acquisition of ‘free loots’.

    Grats on the big loot haul as well, I have made three runs and only scored one item (and I didn’t really want it). Hopefully I will have better luck here soon.

    The main reason I got so much loot is that it was an in-house run. Admittedly, I still would not have made out so well if my guildies were not so well equipped. They just didn’t need anything, and it doesn’t do any good to loot BoP stuff you can’t use if it’s only 4G for VT.

    We do have a VERY nice guild. It’s very family-like.

    Gitr, to fix the left align problem, go into your CSS. You will see this at line 270…

    .widecolumn {
    padding: 10px 0 20px 0;
    margin: 5px 0 0 150px;
    width: 450px;
    }

    Change the 150px value to 20px, or whatever you are comfortable with. Now, this might also change what is on your front page, so you might want to test it first ๐Ÿ™‚

    Thanks a ton for pointing me in the right direction. You were close, so close I was able to figure it out. I tried several things after that attempt and finally copied the .narrowcolumn down. I figured if it worked one place, the other should look like that, too. You’re a great help, Josh.

    .narrowcolumn {
    float: left;
    padding: 0 0 20px 45px;
    margin: 0px 0 0;
    width: 450px;
    }

    .widecolumn {
    float: left;
    padding: 0 0 20px 45px;
    margin: 0px 0 0;
    width: 450px;
    }
