WoW Open Mic Thread
Well I don't really have anything specific to talk about, I just like getting into conversations here at BBR so barring this post breaking any rules I was hoping to just have an ongoing discussion about nothing in particular.
I'll start with my kara run last night. One shotted nightbane, two shotted netherspite, one shotted illhoof, then wiped repeatedly on Nightbane and gave up. I'm a pally tank we had three fear wards plus my bubbles. After three attempts with me tanking (healer goes down on NB landing 1st, Then same healer goes down during air phase, then a different healer went down during the third attempt in an air phase) they decided to go with a warrior. It didn't go any better, we finally gave up. We were getting 3 fears per ground phase though so I think our DPS was kind of slacking.
I tanked gruul to 20% before getting 3 7k hits in a row with no heals (non crushing), but he went down anyway. Why can't I tank nightbane? I would really like his shield. Still using shat'ar exalted one.
So now its your turn. Feel free to respond to my post or just post your own WoW experiences over the last few days. Or call my mom a whore, I don't care, just post something so I have something to read while I'm at work.

Well, last night after slacking off in engineering forever, I finally leveled up to make the X11 deathblow goggles for my rogue (Painfulmass on Khaz Modan). Not a huge improvement over the blue helm that I got from one of the 5 man quests in SMW, but an upgrade. Having the meta-gem is nice. Picked up a 12 agility and 3% crit damage gem. I need to get my fishing leveled up even higher, been waiting on that to start cooking some spicy crawdads. I also need to look at some rogue theorycrap to decide when it makes sense to upgrade my gloves and leggins of assasination to purples.

No hunter in your Kara group? A well-timed misdirect saves a lot of healers' butts when NB lands. It helps to be a priest with Fade, too.
Gruul is one of the few fights I have encountered where you can lose the MT near the end of the fight and still win.

My hunter dinged 60 this morning.
I got my second ever world drop epic. Stockade Pauldrons.
Also, does it seem to anyone else that the drop rate on blue items has been increased?

How did you 1 shot nightbane and then wipe repeatedly on nightbane? Did you mean prince ?
Anyway it seems your problems on nightbane have to do with the construct control. As a pally tank, this phase should be very easy. You can tank the fight fine, but it seems your healers don't know how to stay alive.

As for my open mic, my guild is currently trying to bolster its ranks due to losses of some classes. What's annoying is that nearly everyone who has applied isn't MH/BT attuned. Now, we can't be picky, but its freakin' annoying running tier 5 instances to attune people. But on the same token, I would be pissed of they removed attunements to MH/BT
Then, to top it all off, or progression is being held up because we simply don't have enough hearts of darkness to gear out our raid for mother sharaz.
And lastly, wtf is up with scale of sands rep. I've been doing Hyjal for almost two months, killed Archimonde, and I'm only halfway to exalted. WTB rep buff pls.
On an interesting, yet fun note, a few guildy's of mine decided to go to AQ20. We successfully 6 manned Kurinnaxx, Moam, Rajaxx and Ossirian. You get 13G from Ossirian if you kill him with 6 people. I had to leave, so I don't know if they finished up the instance with the last two. It was still fun though!

Hit 60 on my lock last night. Training cost me more than 30g...
One Ramps run and one Furnace run - not a single cloth drop from any boss

Along the open mike lines, my guild has taken a two-week holiday break from official raids. Our last raid was in SSC on Monday. We got Leotheras down to 4%, grrrr. No issues, really, just an off night -- we're capable of one-shotting that creep.
We're raiding three nights per week, and have reached that point where we clear the first three bosses in TK on one night and work on SSC the other two nights. We're probably only a week or two of raiding away from getting to 4/6 in SSC.
We also have the occasional "time permitting" trips to Gruul's, usually when we're done quickly in The Eye, and we plow through HKM and Gruul in about 20 minutes with several guildies who are still accumulating tier 4 gear. Incredibly, Gruul has never dropped his shield for our warrior MT, and now it's a shield-dropping race between Gruul and the dragon-hawk boss in ZA.
Our biggest issue is that we frequently find ourselves short a few suitably geared players for the 25-mans. Some of the officers are using the break to help on Kara runs, so hopefully after the holidays we'll have a larger pool of plsyers. Some impromptu ZA raids are also in our immediate future.
I finally decided to work on my Netherwing rep and get my drake. Finally reached friendly last night, which opened up a bunch more daily quests.

Last night we had 10 signups for Kara, but only 7 showed. A couple logged, so the 5 remaining ones, our main healer, our OT, warlock class lead, one of the better mages, and top dps (me) decided to try heroic BF. We were flying through there until the room with the second boss. Apparently, the groups that come out when you pull the lever are immune to movement impairment spells, and occasionally resist traps. The only reliable CC was sheep. The first group went ok. My trap was resisted, so the lock feared him. Mage sheeped the other, and we dpsed down the main target, moving to the feared one, then the sheeped one. Second group comes out, trap resisted, fear resisted, sheep was ok. I MD the loose mob onto the tank. Third group, trap resisted, fear resisted, MD on cooldown, we wiped because the loose mob one shotted the mage and my pet. So we res, and I had to MD on the first group. So we wiped on the second group. Third try, it looks like we're gonna make it, because my traps hold for the first 2 groups. Third group, I had to use MD, and the fourth we wiped on. I think this part needs a tankadin that can hold aggro on multiple mobs.
Earlier in the week, got some more arena points coming on Tuesday. That sick axe is -mine- muahahaha. One really funny match - shadow priest and warlock of some kind. I think they thought we were MM spec, because they just came running at us. Probably they were going to fear bomb the snot out of us, but we both popped BW at the same time, and the match was over before we turned normal again.

In 2000, CEO pay was statistically 300:1 to minimum wage. In 2005, it's 431:1. If minimum wage matched growth rate with CEO pay from 1990 to 2005, it would now be $19.00/hr.

I discovered by mathematics and by accident how to up your personal rating. As long as you're not absolutely horrid at PVP, you can get yourself a seemingly infinite personal rating, granting you access to your S3 weapons and shoulders.
