I got a pleasant surprise at the end of running Loredon, our 42 druid through Uldaman for the enchanting trainer: Tomas Rofkahr came to Kargath for a visit. He’s getting PvP’d out and is trying some other servers and he hunted me down using a /who. His question: “What is a 60 Fury warrior doing in Uldaman?” LOL Then He introduced himself as Tomas and I checked to see that he was a level 1 human warrior. I offered our guild forum for an invite into Fellowship of Azeroth and free runs through any instance he wants, but he said he is just testing the waters on the servers before he decides which one. I certainly do hope he joins our ranks. He’d be a real asset to our guild.
We got started late, but still managed to drop three bosses. Not get to them, this time, but drop them. I have no idea what happened to the group on the first attempt at Thekal, but I died pretty soon into it, and only 2 pallys survived to reset the fight. I was *grumble* on the phone. I had to pardon myself because 19 people were going to be upset with me if I had anything to do with it and I caused that again.
Nice loot dropped, but I kept losing rolls. But first, roll call for the dead:
Mandokir: Not shown
I witnessed my first truly *drool* usable epic drop from Mandokir. I took some protest and was taken completely off guard by the order of the items up for roll. I am used to only rolling on blues and greens, which are pretty easy to tell which you’d rather pass on and which to go for. My confusion started with … well, let me show you what dropped.
So, the rolling started with the blue. “What the heck?” was pretty much my question to master-looter Tox. How do I know if I want to pass or not if I don’t know if I can win the epic? Rolling on the blue had already started, so I passed since I already had 2 comparable rings, minus the Agility. Then I lost the roll on the Hakkari blade.
Previously, we took down Venoxis, but true to FoA form, we did the truly amazing and wiped the first time. His jumping bolts jumped to too many people and knocked them out of play before he turned into snake form. I still have a really hard time avoiding his poison cloud. Maybe it’s just that I’m too far down on the healing priority list to recover when I do get hit. He didn’t drop anything of interest to me. I think it was leather, but hey, I’m there for something solid!
Since we started over 30 minutes late, I was wanting to stop after the first two bossed because of our lack of success with Thekal last time. I didn’t want to die 5 times for nothing. But when you drop him, it makes it worth it. It was an impressive fight. It came down to two hunters left standing fighting the tigers that Thekal spawned when he died. He dropped real goodies, too, just not for me.
Someone kept talking about a fishing quest, so we ran down there and got attacked by a mad fish! It was crazy. A 60+ elite FISH!! Then about 3 people hearthed out of there before we distributed the loot. That’s just crazy, but oh well. Tox reserved a Gurabashi coin for me to send in the mail and I got dibs on a Bronze Hakkari Bijou. It hadn’t arrived before I logged off, but Tox just informed me that he sent it.
Just for fun props, I took a nice screenshot of Bensmack, a veteran Hunter and our Hunter mentor.
