Quote of the Day

Elenia: That's how Onyxia should be done, 15 minute's long and none of this Steamrolled Crap.

Me: When 15minutes ago we could have been doing Trail of the Grand Crusader and not this shit.

Freya Hardmode

Since we have been doing her for over 100wipes now, this fight is a pure based RNG fight. Wanna know how many RNG's? 8 or 9. What are they you say? Well they are these. (not exact names this is what we call them,)

Watchers

Tremor - Silences and does a fair bit of Damage
Roots - Roots the person and does Damage over time
Beams - Puts a beam on the person and dodge damage over time if he/she does not move out of it

Freya
Nature Fury - move that freya hits you with that explodes an AoE damage on yourself and other around you.
Beam 2 - Small beam of light hits you for a amount of damage, just you alone
Spuds - Phase 2 she pops this on you and they appear under you and explode after a short period of time.
Tree - Heals freya and her adds by a large amount

Freya's Adds

Tree Guy - Puts mushrooms down and casta a silencing arua (not deadly alone but combined with the other 7 other flipping things and BOOM your fucked.)
3 Adds - Chaining Lighting, One add that increases Damage as it gets hit and if you get close BAM, dead and a Knock Back, letting any of these through and your dead.
Shitlings - They explode at 0% hp. 15 of these at once is a wipe.

So How many is that, 11, 12 if you count the snaplasher buff and you get near it. Yes 11/12 RNG whats the chance of getting hit with 2 of them at once, Higher than you think, you would think that getting hit 2 at the same time is a 0.0016% chance, its not its alot higher.
We have got used to useing Arua Mastery, Divine Sacrifice, Ice Block, Disc Priests, AoE Taunt, Frost Nova, Shadow Fury, Chains of ice, Earthbinding totems, anything that prevents a death of secures adds, this fight is more annoying than mimirion and I got the freaking achivement for Firefighter, all this for Alagon is like, MAKE THE OTHER 3 WATCHERS JUST AS HARD! Its stupid to make 2 Easy, 1 Medium and 1 Hard and tests with your paitence cause you have 45seconds each wave, they can overlap but by not much.

Ulduar 25man Hardmode

This post is a update as we progress post, so am just gonna give a quick what happened at the start of the raid week to the now.

Wednesday we did Hardmodes of Flame Leviathan, XT-002 and then did the achivement meta for Kologarn and Auriaya. Then straight onto Freya, we got our final try to Wave 5/6 almost into Phase 2. To finish the wonderful evening of Progress we downed Hodir hardmode and went to bed.
Thursday we went back to Ulduar and did more attemtps on Freya Hardmode and were finishing off tweeks, near the end of the night we switched to Thorim hardmode and got him out of the way.
Friday and Saturday was our off days but we Cleared 10man and got Algalon to 60% on 10man, also we got champion of Ulduar for 10man, decided to make 10man be a quick run and just get the Easy modes and achieve a nice title.
Sunday we didnt do Freya+3, we decided to do Mimiron and downed him in a few trys, this is so far server 1st and server 2nd Down by us. Wrath is working on him as we speak while we are working on Freya+3. At the end of the evening we went back and decided to take out Steelbreaker, that did not happen due to a few minor muck ups, but we did Razorscale 50Guidians, and Ignis speed kill.

Monday, today is our Freya+3, I hope we down her and then down Yagg-Saron 1 Light, then i can walk out today happy, as we almost achieved Phase 2 on Freya+3 and YS down to 9%. If we do it today or tomorrow, then I can fly about in my ironbound proto-drake and known tomorrow Alagon is waiting for us. I'll Update it if we kill her and him.

Update
Sadly no we did not kill her we got to wave 6/6 and stared Phase 2 and people started to panic, it was a big tree guy, he was at roughly 50% ish and thats when people started dieing due to Spuds, Lightbeams, Roots, Tremors and getting caught by silence. Then after that we decided to give it a bit of a break and go kill Steelbreaker. So thats me now only need 2more for my Meta and i got my new drake, that is Freya+3 and Yagg-Saron +1. I feel we will get it tomorrow, also the good point is our main druid healer completed getting her fragments for the Legendary mace so I can see if we down +1 she will get it with the nice Drake.
On about that mace, i wish i could get it, Sadly am still on trail with them, on my 2nd or 3rd week, been loads of fun , wouldnt want to fail my trail right now. Sadly I will not get that mace as I think it will go like this, Druid (whos got it), Shaman, Paladin (not me), Priest, Priest, Druid, Priest, Paladin (me), I think thats all the healer (I did not say their names since i prefer to ask for permission before mention names on this blog. Unless its people I hate.

Peace out and Ill report tomorrows Raid and see how lucky it goes.

Achivements

Current my achivement done are looking like this.

General - 37/54
Quests - 45/49
Exploration - 44/70
Player vs. Player - 55/149
Dungeons & Raids - 285/366
Professions - 66/75
Reputation - 28/44
World Events - 111/124

Currently the only problem I have is PvP, General, Quests, Exploration, World Events, Professions, Reputation will just take time. Dugeons and Raids (sadly only need the heroic Lich and the last is just Ulduar ones,) will all get filled out when we get Alagon downed and 0 Lights downed. PvP i dont think ill complete Arena ones, but I will complete the others in Time.
Ill Update my achivements in the future.

PvE

This post is a little bit odd, you might be going "Your in a Hardcore 25man Ulduar raiding guild downing Firefighter and progressing on Freya+3 why are you not sharing this," Well i will but am gonna talk alittle bit about the previous patche.

Today I decided to help a friend in the guild with Naxx10 (inactive player hes an old member,) So we did naxx10 with 5 of us. Our group set up went like this:
Warrior (tank) Ulduar Geared
Paladin (healer) Ulduar Geared - me
Priest (Shadow) Ulduar Geared
Hunter (Survival) Ulduar Geared
Warlock (Destro) Naxx geared (the guy we were helping)

So we did Spider wing no problem, Plague win was even easier, Abomanation wing was rather simple, only got problems when it came to Thaddius with the Piroatarys, but we were 10seconds off from enrage, Deathknight wing, we got the tank and the lock to do the MC, on Gothik we all hugged on one side and on 4HM (the biggest problem,) We had the warlock use her voidwalker on Baron, so we had basically in the front row.

Front Row
Me
Tank 1st Boss 2nd Boss Warlocks Pet
Warlock

Back Row

3rd Boss Hunter Priest 4th Boss

Sadly this did not go well and it was very hard to over come. But it was a nice experiment to see if it was possible to 5man all of Naxx10. Sadly we got 2 more in for 4HM and downed them then killed Sapp and KT.

A new Begining

I do not know how many times I have used that title now.

About the ingame me
I started WoW in Vinalla testing it on the Beta, I was a Dwarf Hunter who saw Zul'Gurub to Naxxramas 40man, I suffered the 30day game time played to get to 60. I was not in the same guild for that whole expansion it jumped about really, 1st it was The Old Anicent Kings, that disband and the leader joined Veni Vidi Veci (Good guild up to before Sunwell,) So I moved to another guild, never remember the name then I moved to The Lost Templars and raided part of an alliance, back then I was an experienced MM hunter, I knew the specc and how to play it (I loved my tier2.5 and Tier3 *Crys*.) After that the alliance broke up and I joined a Guild that was gonna do TBC raids

The Burning Crusade hit and I got on and started playing away, betwee 60-68 I was in a guild I can not remember the name of but Disband when i was around 62-64, So i went solo from then on, by the time i got to 68 I asked if I could be back in The Lost Templars (alot of my old buddies,) As I dinged 70, I was gearing up for Karazhan, we raided that place alot, slow progressing but enjoyable guild, around BT and Hyjal release I joined an Alliance that was called TRG (The Raid Group,) I raided with them daily and got a nice bit of BT and Hyjal done, near the end of Sunwell I stopped this character completely, Now on to how Carsaadi comes into the picture, basically during my Karazhan (aka 2.0) with my Hunter I leveled a Paladin in my spare time, when i moved to a raid alliance I had Carsaadi (known as Healyurself) ready for Karazhan, so while i progressed through TK, SSC, Hyjal, BT and Sunwell, I had Carsaadi on the same instance or just 1 behind me, While i progressed through BT and Hyjal I tanked on her in a different alliance, then before Sunwell I made my own guild called Implict, we were about to Start Hyjal and BT then disbanded. So that was it I gained a reputation on Carsaadi as a fast pulling tank and I enjoyed it. Due to the disband i got cheered up by some mates who invited me along to OT Sunwell, got to Muru. That was me for TBC, I went back to The Lost Templars as i had no were else to go and I had a handful of Friend their who accepted me.

Wrath of Lich King hit out and I did not have it till 1 week later, so we had our paladin officer bragging about everything while the UK sat bored, (His name was Sheriden,) So I leveled and was the 2nd player to ding 80 in the guild, then an arugement broke out during a naxx 10man Run and I left, due to this I joined Immersion, lasted 1 week and left them due to an officer being an arse, then i joined Genesis, was with them for 7months then the guild kinda died down and their was nothing, now to my current position i got accepted into Core of Insight that is the number 1 guild on the server for Alliance. I hope to be in them for the rest of my WoW Career, Hardcore for life.
