Frostbolt, a World of Warcraft Blog

Notice: I’ve changed the structure of the perma-links on my blog. Even tho the old links will still work, I would advice those linking the guides on this site to update the links: Fishin’ Ain’t for Wimps and Druid Uber Healing Guide. For those that read my blog thru a RSS feed, please update the rss link as well. Sorry for the trouble.

What do we get when we mix an [item]Eye of Sulfuras[/item] and a [item]Sulfuron Hammer[/item]?

Oh my God… It’s a [item]Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros[/item]! Somehow I believe that most things happen for a reason. Last weekend we had slight issues in Molten Core, and people in WoW Forums were trolling us because of that. Not like we care at all, but it was kinda ironic (and funny, at the same time) because last night, when we could finish MC (Domo/Rag), we could get that legendary mace, lol. Big congratulations to Dany, the pimp owner ^_^ It’s the first [item]Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros[/item] that Totem Recall gets ^_^ Thanks to all the fans for making it possible ^_^

You know, it was very nice last night. After the [item]Eye of Sulfuras[/item] dropped, you had to see all of us in vent: everyone trying to help on the mats so the mace would get done by the end of the night. We were able to gather it all and Nogard helped us crafting the [item]Sulfuron Hammer[/item].

And something very interesting happened before I logged out…

Ysondre and Taerar. Some of our units got into Duskwood first for Ysondre and some other guild tapped the dragon Q.Q… Then we headed to Ashenvale for Taerar, cleared the mobs and worked on him. It was the very first time I see any of those dragons, and even tho we couldn’t kill Taerar, we got his health all the way to 1/4, and most important:

• Hardly anyone had experience on him [Taerar] (I never ever tried any of these dragons).
• We only had around 20 members in the raid (it wasn’t a raiding night so most of the core people wasn’t on), not all were raiders and/or were equipped.
• The composition of the raid was probably not the best (one priest, not enough tanks, etc.)

The other two guilds waiting when we were on the encounter had almost a full raid (one 35 members and the other one 38). What can I say, we could have take him down. I still think that it was impressive of us to take him to the point we did. Maybe next time

A funny note was that during the encounter, when the other two guilds started to gather behind us, they were just standing around the little mountains that were in the area. When we were about to wipe (on the last split), we all laughed because the three shades headed to where the other two guilds were, lololol.

Notice: My Druid Uber Healing Guide has been slightly updated.

Yesterday night we continued the Blackwing Lair run we started on Tuesday that couldn’t get finished because of server issues we were experiencing.

Believe it or not, [item]Stormrage Chestguard[/item] dropped finally! And guess who got it! ^_^ MEEEEEEE!! WOOT WOOT WOOT, thanks TR!! ^_^ ^_^

This is how my druid looks right now

I’m not sure if you saw Batman Begins, but there’s a very nice quote that is said in the movie: Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up. Yesterday night’s run started rough, but trust me when I say that everyone fixed it and it got from a wrecked one to, possibly, the smoothest run I’ve ever seen. It makes me think of another quote, even tho it’s in spanish, it could be something like an error is not just the action of doing one, but when we don’t accept that we’ve made one and not wanting to learn from it. What else can I say, I got very happy when the [item]Stormrage Chestguard[/item] dropped, I’ve been wanting it for so long, lol, I got a +100 HP to Chest enchant on it, but now I’m not sure if I should switch it for something like a +4 to all stats. Nefarian fight was slightly messy, but it came out incredibly. Hah, I’m here at work writing this, thinking about how can I explain myself about last night’s run, but I can’t find the words, lol. I’ll just say that hats off to everyone that was last night in the raid, and grats to Pinnious for getting his 8/8 Tier 2 ^_^ Right now I got six pieces of Stormrage, but I’m not working in getting the whole set (check the Workin’ On profile).

After finishing Blackwing Lair we made Onyxia

[item]Netherwind Crown[/item]
[item]Halo of Transcendence[/item]
[item]Shard of the Scale[/item]
[item]Eskhandar’s Collar[/item]

First time ever I see [item]Shard of the Scale[/item] dropping, if I’m not wrong I think that the one that got it was Savanis (grats!).

By the way, my healing power went up from +749 to +758, and my Rejuvenations tick for 429~430 ^_^ My rpgo-profile isn’t updated yet, but my CTProfile is (and I’m going to update Character-Planner as well soon nevermind, too complicated).

Oh, before I finish, I would really recommend people getting an addon called BigWigs, it announces stuff on boss encounters, similar to what CT_RABossMod does (with CT_RaidAssist), but it has so many nice options, it’s more complete in my opinion (I really love the victory sound that it does when the bosses die, lol) and also it’s a bit more accurate and is being updated frequently.

By the way, Twin Emperors, get ready, we are going to kick your (_|_) soon, TR Style.
