Sorry guys, I have been slacking


Life has caught up with me in the last few weeks. Planning for college, doing a little side work to nab some cash, reading a awesome book called A Better Place, AND listening to the baby blues (Not my blues, my cousin's). Well apart from all that, I have joined a new guild. A fantastic guild. I finally found a place that not only suits my raiding schedule but my play style. Trivial of Hyjal will be my home for a long long time.

Almost immediately after joining Trivial it was time to raid. I must admit, I was really nervous. Would they like me? How would I size up against their other members? Upon our first pull, my nervousness had waned. I was listening to our very informative raid leader shout out targets over vent, and that definitely put me at ease. He was so good at making everything crystal clear which is definitely a step up from my old raiding guild. On my first night, I got to see Hydross and even attempt him a few times. Though we did not down him, I went away with a lot of valuable experience. With our heads still held high, we finished with a 1-shot of Lurker.

Last night was my second raid with my new guild. I was very excited and ready to roll with the punches. We cleared trash and I even got to be a goalie for a bit. We made our way up to Hydross. Boy was I ready to bash his face in! So we did. We started the night with a one-shot of Hydross. A few minutes later, we were making our way to the Lurker. we got into position, pulled, and I witnessed one of the cleanest Lurker take downs. With our egos swollen we decided to clear more trash in the attempt to get to Tidewalker. After we viciously slaughtered many a murloc, we were finally there. We had a few attempts on him. Our last being our best. 43% on a new boss. Now that is what I call teamwork! I can't wait to raid again.


...More to come soon. LEET GRAFICS FTW!
(Oh, and I love Hunters, sorry for calling you huntards =/ )

Leet Grafic- HK this time folks!

HK Graphic


YOU ARE NOT PREPARED!

Actually you are. You have hit your defense mark, you have around 1400 Attack power in bear, as well as 26K+ AR, 13.5K HP, and 30% chance dodge (unbuffed of course).

HK is really not hard, the pull is. In fact my old guild one shot him, and that says a lot. They still have not learned to get out of Lurkers spout. ANYWAY back to the topic at hand. As you can see, I did not include any of HKs minions but who cares. You're UBER now and can tank the big boys!

So, the first move for you is to eat all your food, and put on as much stam and avoidance gear as possible (without sacrificing your armor). Next comes your position. If you run down the hill, you will see a notch in the wall. It will be on an incline into a corner. That is the the spot you want to be in. Notice where your healers are, and if they are in LOS. After you get into position, put on your pink helm with all those pretty Barbie stickers on it; You are going to get your face kicked in!

Next in the process is a MD pull from a hunter to you (usually right when the mage is halfway through casting at Krosh). Immediately cast fariefire and Demo roar and begin your fight for aggro. I usually do a few maul/mangle combos and then start a lacerating/mangle frenzy. You will notice that he does a knockback which does not affect you because you are buried in a corner. While the rest of his minions are being downed, just keep up demo roar and FF and continue to whoop his ass. Once everyone gets to HK, he will start fearing every so often. You may fall victim to this, and when you do, just Feral charge and taunt. You will get it back easily. My rule is , unless it is on your healers, tank him where he lies. Thats it. Cake!

~Oh, btw if you ever have to tank OLM, follow the wall down thill you are at the halfway mark in the room. On the pull, get a maul/mangle combo off, and you should be able to keep charging in and doing that every time he fears ya. That is all for him. He is just annoying really~
