Prophecy Shoulders

As Zenos mentioned, the guild has been doing great lately!! We recently downed both Onyxia and Domo, and we're starting to work on aquiring fire resistance gear so we can take down Rag too! I expect to see Rag in probably a month or so...we're going to need to start doing farming runs into MC however, since we're going to need tons of fiery and lava cores.

On Monday, both Zenos and I got our shoulders out of MC! This is my second piece of the prophecy set. Since I'm still really high on the dkp list, I shouldn't have to wait too long before I see another piece. I REALLY want the prophecy pants, so I might hold out for those. They would be a huge upgrade for me, since I'm still wearing Padre's trousers out of DM West.

Here's some screenies of my new gear:)

Wrath, Might, Bindings...

I have not had time to give an update on Zenos lately due to work and raiding. But, nonetheless, a lot has happened since the last post. Our guild has finally downed Onyxia and cleared all the way through Majordomo in Molten Core. The pace of raids are increasing, more loot is dropping, and we are making great progress. In fact, we even took a stab at Ragnaros the other night and took him down to 70% with a good portion of the raid naked! I think we may be closer to taking him down then most people realize. We even crafted most of the dark iron epics for the main tanks (270+ fire resistance ftw).

On that note, I have gained a great deal of new gear lately. The list is rather extensive, but the best items have been the Helm of Wrath, Pauldrons of Might, Onyxia Blood Talisman, and the left side of the Bindings of the Windseeker! Simply put, Zenos is really starting to look like a raiding guild's main tank. I have to admit, I almost feel bad for taking so much loot when other tanks could use some upgrades. But, I am the main tank and most of the other warriors are not as interested in the position. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it :)

Another point of interest, tanking Onyxia is actually rather challenging. The first two phases are simple for obvious reasons (as long as no one pulls aggro in the first phase). However, once Onyxia lands, grabbing her attention is incredibly difficult. Even with a full rage bar, spamming sunders, and attempting to rage out of the fears...it can still take 15+ seconds to lock her down. It's a scary situation when she is pointed at half the raid that long. I will have to experiment more and try to find the best way to get her attention quickly. Anyways, here are some screenshots of my new gear. Enjoy :)

Voodoo Doll

I received my priest ZG doll a week or two ago, just forgot to update the blog about it:P Anyways, after months of running ZG, I finally got my priest doll, which will allow me to do a specific enchant to some of my armor. I heard that some of the items might be changing in the next patch, but I'm not sure if that applies to the enchants or just the rep reward items.

Tier .05 Questing

Just last night I finally completed another step in the tier .05 upgrade quests! A quick explanation about what the tier .05 armor is and all that: I went and collected all of my Devout gear (tier 0), and in the most recent patch Blizzard put in a bunch of very challenging quests that allow you to upgrade the Devout gear, into a new gear set (tier .05). I had already completed the first couple of steps in the quest chain, which gave me the Virtuous bracers, belt, and gloves. Last night I received the pants, shoulders, and boots!

It feels great to be able to finally move forward on this questline, since I've felt like I have been stuck in the same place for quite awhile. The last two upgrades are for the helm and chest, and then I'll be done! The set itself is quite ugly (light yellow! how gross!), but I am wearing a few of the items, especially since the gloves and boots are epics. I also am wearing the shoulders, as they are a nice upgrade for me. I still can't wait to get all of my Prophecy set, but for now my equipment is holding up nicely.


This is what my character currently looks like...the biggest difference is the shoulders, as you can't see my new shoes.

Great Night in Molten Core

As Zarina mentioned, the guild did very well in Molten Core last night. One-shotted the first six bosses and managed to pull 40 people together for the first time. The highlight of my night, however, was that I received one of the bindings for creating Thunderfury. I never thought I would be in line to receive a legendary item, but I appreciate that the guild trusts me and wants to gear me up as much as possible. I posted a few screenshots of the item and the quest line.

Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker


Unfortunately, it will be quite some time before I see the item. I need the other binding, a drop from Ragnaros, and 10 Elementium Bars. The Elementium requires going into Blackwing Lair. Also, smelting the bars involves some expensive materials including 10 arcanite bars each! In the end, it will be worth the effort and I look forward to the day we take down Thunderaan.

Fun in MC:)

Tonight was an excellent night for our guild, as we saw our first 40-person MC run! Up until tonight, I think the most we'd ever gotten was 36 people, so maxing our run and having a wait list feels great! We 1-shotted every boss we did tonight, which was Luci through Shazz, leaving Sulfie and Golemagg for Monday's run.

What's even more exciting (for me at least) is that some Prophecy finally dropped! Finally! Up until now there had been virtually no priest drops since we started doing MC, and I must say that the priests were getting pretty annoyed by it, and disheartened. In fact, not only did Prophecy drop, but two pieces of it!! I was lucky enough to get the Circlet of Prophecy, and my other awesome priest friend got the bracers!


The helm was a huge upgrade for me, as I had been wearing the Crimson Felt hat up until now, which looked cool but had rather poor stats. While the Circlet of prophecy isn't very sexy, and it's not very aerodynamic, its got nice stats and matches my other armor:)
