Call of the Crusade – 25-man.

By alex

Hey guys!

Well the 25-man raiding is back in full swing and we went into TotC normal, cleared the place and still had time to run in and do the worthwhile bosses in VoA.

It was great to be back raiding properly again – I’ve really missed it actually – we had a blast in there.

As Class Leader, I had to make a decision about loot that upset me a little last night.

One of the bosses dropped the Justicebringer axe. This is a pretty major upgrade for me so i bid all my DKP for it and won.  Our other ret-paladin wanted it and i out bid him – due to our dkp bidding rules.  I then started getting whispers from him saying it wasn’t fair – he would have bid 1700 before me if he’d known…well the raid dkp rules are on the forums and he should have read them – he’s been in the guild long enough. So I made a decision and let him have the Axe.

Thankfully enough a noob in a rack was kind enough to drop this for me:

Archon Glaive
Two Hand Polearm
715-1074 Dmg Speed 3.50
(255.6 damage per second)
+128 Agility
+136 Stamina
(Yellow Socket) +20 Strength
Berserking Enchant
Equip: Improves critical strike rating by 90.
Equip: Increases your attack power by 165.
Equip: Increases your armor penetration rating by 90.

Now this is a pretty sweet pole arm – but I have a small problem with it….How it looks.

Standing there in my t8.5 Kilt and with what effectively looks like a staff on my back – one of our rogues said “Hey Firelight looks like some sort of warlock with that dress and that staff on his back…”

Not impressed!! But I was thankful for the drop. Its nice to get new weapons – weapons and shoulders – always make me feel like I’ve gotten a nice big upgrade for some reason!

So tonight hopefully, if we have enough sign ups, we are going to see Onyxia! Wow its been a long time since I’ve been in there in a proper raid group. I’ve heard there are some new things to expect – like adds that spawn during the fight from the main tunnel (dragonkin – not whelps) But it will be interesting to see how we cope in there. I might dig up some fire-res gear – you never know!! I think I have a reasonable cape in my bank that might be useful. Whatever happens tonight I’m sure it will bring up some crazy memories for me from days long since passed when I was a holy paladin – many many moons ago.

I hope all of you are still having fun, and are loving Onyxia!
