Successful SFK Run #1

April 2, 2007 By Gitr 4 Comments

We ran SFK Sunday afternoon like a group of pros, clearing it in 58 minutes with NO HEALERS. There were 2 deaths, and I was a tad overpowered at level 30, but I was very surprised we didn’t have more deaths in massive pulls that sometimes took 2 minutes for the action to die down.

This screenshot was taken after taking out 4 mobs and 3 pats. It was quite a “good grief” moment.

We had a group of 1 hunter, 1 mage, 1 warlock, and 2 rogues. All-out dps, basically, with the advantage of 2 pet tanks. It would have taken much longer to run it if I stuck around and skinned, as pretty much everything in SFK is skinnable.

Astranon got his Robes of Arugal and says that they fit quite nicely.

A New Twist On Old Content

March 22, 2007 By Gitr 11 Comments

We’ve all been hearing in podcasts and reading on the forums and blogs about how people starting to play the game today will never see the old level 60 content unless they make them harder and update the loot tables to present end-game lewt.

I have a new twist on it today. Granted, there isn’t a toon out there that can solo MC/BWL/Naxx…yet. But what about in 1, 2, or 3 expansions? Will a level 80 decked out in Tier 8 be able to do that? I think so. I would think that a Gruul’s Lair geared Warrior, Pally, Druid, or Mage would be able to take on Dire Maul, though I’m not sure about anything higher than that. The Baron and Co. might still pose a problem for one toon.

That’s It! Time to Bust Out Deadr Again!

March 21, 2007 By Gitr 2 Comments

I’ve been spending all day on my new favorite site: AmpWow.com. I found it to be unblocked by our firewall so far */crosses fingers* and have been looking up as much as possible on rep, loot, and quests. After I get Bloodr to 28 tonight (after about 30 minutes of satyr slaying in Ashenvale) I will put her away for the time being, except for guild events.

Why the sudden and drastic single-mindedness? Glad you asked. Allow me to get you excited, too. [Read more…] about That’s It! Time to Bust Out Deadr Again!

Preparation for Entering The Slave Pens

February 8, 2007 By Gitr 8 Comments

I am going to hit 62 tonight, so I’m preparing myself for entering The Slave Pens, per guild requirements of knowing what you are getting into when entering an instance. I really enjoy the runs more now that I research them first because I know what is coming and can respond with ease instead of being caught off guard. I will be adding pictures of the instance once I go there and keep this as a long-term guide.

The Slave Pens is located in Zangarmarsh in the center of Coilfang Reservoir. It is meant for levels 62-64 and is a 5-man instance. You should bring along some crowd control races and a Shadow Priest is quite handy during the Rokmar fight when he blasts the party with an AOE lightning effect.

Ding 61, Entered Shattrath City, Allegiance Pending

February 5, 2007 By Gitr 6 Comments

I can’t decide which allegiance to go for, so I’m not choosing yet. My +dmg is around 250 now. One funny story: a priest named Healzez asked me for a port to Org. He was kind enough to call himself an idiot.

I finished quite a few quests to get that much XP before dinner. I have reached the end of about 5 quests that are all 2-man quests with elite mobs now. It’s a bit frustrating because most of the guild is in other zones already, but I’ll get them somehow. I really want to kill those big red guys by the Fallen Sky crystal.

I got in on another Ramparts run, my fourth, with Travi, a guildie Mage. We had a 65 tank and a 64 druid. The druid wanted to heal. I went all out damage with Vampiric Embrace. Here is what that yielded, #1 overall Damage+Healing:
