In the early hours of Saturday the 11th of September here in the UK, on our last attempt of the night……………
Kingslayer Baby!
I was using a frostfire spec I cobbled together to give me decent damage but adding in impact for an emergency attempt to stun a val’kyr in Phase 2 as well as Dragon’s Breath and Blast Wave to give me instant cast melee range abilities for that little extra potential daze.
I want to take a moment to thank my raid team, Paranoid from the Pants on Head Guild and especially our Raid Leader Teo. He has been a calm and stable leader through the good times and the bad and to him I would like to say a huge thank you for putting together such a good group of people to stay up till 3am raiding with.
As I have said before, Paranoid went through a rebuilding phase after our initial attempts on Arthas back in May. The people who have come in and joined us deserve some appreciation given that we could not have rebuilt our team and done this without them.
A special mention must go out to Rubb and Lyte, 2 key members of our group who for real life issues had to miss out on our first Arthas kill. We will get him again soon for you guys! Lyte in particular deserves a lot of thanks from us all for his assistance with optimising our toons, his extensive raiding knowledge and the insane dps that he puts out on his shaman. Sadly he missed out on the Arthas kill in his old guild in a very similar fashion so I hope when we go back and kick the Lich King’s butt again in the future he is there and gets some nice shiny loots for his troubles!
After our triumph against Arthas we had 30 mins and then the Guild 25man ICC run was starting. We did heroic Gunship and I was lucky enough to win the Heroic Amulet of the Silent Eulogy. A best in slot neck piece and an Arthas kill in one night!
Now for some more sleep, the 3 hours I got after the 25man ICC run will not last me through the day….
