On Wednesday we raided BWD, but for some reason things weren’t going well and we wiped a number of times on Atramedes, and repeatedly on Chimaeron until we called it. I thought it may have been because of my DBM marking the wrong targets for Massacre, but we weren’t dying during that, we were dying when grouping up, even though I was throwing all the same heals I have been in all our other kills. I honestly don’t know what was going wrong. No cloth or healing pieces dropped, that I needed, anyway.

Crushing Defeats in Tol Barad
Yesterday we had some crushing defeats at TB, but one win so I got the pvp dailies done. Also ran a few bgs but the only win was a sweep in EotS, which shocked all involved. 4 bases and 1600 points, couldn’t believe it.
At night I ran with the second group again and we got down the golem bosses, but wiped repeatedly on Maloriak, and spent a good deal of time just standing around figuring out who needed to do what. The tank went offline in the middle of a very good attempt, and never came back. We brought in Dpunisher, who I see in TB a lot, for one attempt, but after that several of us had to go. It would be helpful for new people demanding to be in raids to experience a full night of wipe attempts, on multiple nights, to understand EXACTLY why you can’t just throw a group together and succeed.
I like to watch rogues
Last night, went in healing in BWD with the second raid group we have going on. Stark difference here, it took us all night to kill just Magmaw rather than rolling the entire place and then some in one night. And we had a few people familiar with the fights helping out others who did not, which is just a good example of what I told Brd about needing to click as a group.
After that Ladiesman invited me to the arena in Stranglethorn to fight, but I just perched up high and Mind Visioned him fighting. The rogue play style, is awesome to watch up close, safely, without having to fight at all.
Who can resist a Ladiesman?
Today the big thing was running TB several times, where I ran into Ladiesman and got sapped repeatedly at ICG, since for some reason ALL alliance ran off and left me there alone. There’s much trading of /kiss and such again too. I take it back to our little guard camp with a druid at one point, and try to kill him but he escapes like usual, and the druid does not even acknowledge that I saved him from death during one of the fights. In a battle later on I group up with Maice and try to kill him, after being repeatedly sapped and attacked RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR GUARDS, who did NOTHING, and he escapes. Rogues, oooh!
I did stun him mid-air on his bike though, which I wasn’t close enough to screenie, or fast enough, but it was pretty hilarious seeing someone stunned 3 feet off the ground.
I really don’t understand why a Horde can stand within 2 yards of a Baradin guard, attack an Alliance, and they just stand there, though.
Anyway tonight was raids and we did everything in BWD except the last one, then moved on to BoT up to and finished on the council. I picked up Brackish Gloves and Crown of Burning Waters, which earned me the Cataclysmically Epic achievement. For some reason, a person I don’t even know in guild sent me a message saying I’m sick and need serious help and that ‘you sir’ have a serious addiction. I reply back but they don’t say anything. It was just weird? I don’t know that person, at all. We also earned the Parasite Evening achievement during Magmaw.
Also I update my hair, like I did for my mage when she hit T10, on my priest in honor of that gear achievement.
Rogues are slippery
Today I log in to do 2’s and get in a TB battle, which we actually win! Couldn’t believe it. Of course someone said the horde probably want to run TB on their Alliance alts, which.. would be lame. Still, we got it.
Afterward we form up for BH and get that boss the first try. No cloth drops though.
Later I get on the next battle, and run in flagged just in time to get the win though, and run into my Ladiesman rogue, but the Alliance around me aren’t helping out so I die. To wear off the pvp flag I go stand in a group of these Alliance guards…
and as a horde runs past I stun them, and they run in to their deaths as they try to kill me. Those TB guards, are no joke. I know, they wreck my junk when I do the same thing on the Horde side. However, I had to laugh! Then twice my rogue “friend” runs in, once gets killed by the guards, and another time has to bail over the edge to get away from some alliance. The third time I watch from my ring of guards, while he heads closer to the Alliance camp and stand flagged, on a rock looking down on our camp. I forget to take a screenshot but since I am not flagged I just watch him on his motorcycle. It must be a rogue thing, since Stout has the same one. I had half a mind to stun with a Chastise and levitate down to my camp, but I figure I’d behave myself for once.
So! Tonight we did get Chimaeron
then went off to the last boss in this place
We also went on to kill Halfus, Valiona and Theralion in Bastion of Twilight.
I get a new pair of bracers too (Bracers of the Bronze Flight), so very happy, was wearing pvp bracers for a long while ><
