SAD PANDA.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; ICC10 on Friday went okay, cleared Lower Spire, did Blood Wing (one-shotted Council with me on orbs, if you can imagine!) and went through some hiccups on BQL, but got her down. Tried Dreamwalker, but it didn&#8217;t go very well because we were 9 manning it and I was on my shammy for that part.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I had an absolutely lovely Vent conversation with a blogger I&#8217;ve only known about for a couple of months, Oestrus, from <a href=\"http:\/\/thestoriesofo.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Stories of O<\/a>. Previously a RL friend of <a href=\"http:\/\/moarhps.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Codi&#8217;s<\/a>, they <a href=\"http:\/\/moarhps.wordpress.com\/2010\/07\/15\/my-o-story\/\" target=\"_blank\">reconnected with each other<\/a> in the WoW blogosphere. How awesome is that? It&#8217;s pretty awesome. Even more awesome? Oestrus has stuck her priest in Apotheosis to get a feel for us to see if we&#8217;re where she wants to be for Cataclysm. She came to ICC10 Part 2 on Sunday night, too.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Seriously, I HAD THE BLACKTIP SHARK. &lt;flails&gt;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Beta guilds were wiped, so if you were in my beta version of Apotheosis on Lost Isles, you may want to hit me up on Twitter at some point to get a re-invite.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; ICC10 Part 2. Went better than expected. O joined us on her priest and we promptly wiped on Plague trash. \/facepalm. Nice first impression. ;) I think we made up for it, though, when we one-shot Rot, Fester and the good Professor. Dreamwalker was cake and, for the first time ever, I did that fight without healing in the portals. I kited zombies! It was kind of awesome, although I have never wanted to be able to cleanse my own magical debuffs more than right then. Stupid frostbolt volleys. Anyways, then it was on to Sindragosa. Despite some lapses in attention and despite some miscommunication, the Apotheosis INFAMOUS LAST ATTEMPT rule kicked in and we got her down for the first time. (Well, first time on these toons for many of us, anyways.)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; O will fit in beautifully if she decides to stick with us. She&#8217;s already on the &#8220;I tease Kurn, therefore I am&#8221; bandwagon. Things like &#8220;Eh on Hands&#8221; instead of &#8220;Lay on Hands&#8221; and &#8220;Hey, I need my I&#8217;m on a Boot achievement!&#8221;&#8230; Naturally, the guildies cracked up. :P<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; After the raid, Football and X and I went to MC. Football&#8217;s after <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/item=17203\" target=\"_blank\">Sulfuron Ingots<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/item=17204\" target=\"_blank\">Eye of Sulfuras<\/a> for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/item=17182\" target=\"_blank\">Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros<\/a>. I was hoping I&#8217;d get my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/item=18646\" target=\"_blank\">Eye of Divinity<\/a> for my priest off Domo, and X was along on his warlock until we got to Domo, at which point he got his 72 hunter, in case the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/item=18703\" target=\"_blank\">Ancient Petrified Leaf<\/a> dropped. The Eye of Divinity dropped and, after a couple of embarassing wipes on Ragnaros, off I went to the Eastern Plaguelands!<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"480\" height=\"385\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/k1rTVv-vbnY?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/k1rTVv-vbnY?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; And finally, as you were perhaps able to tell from the video above, I&#8217;ve managed to find a decent video setting for videos! This has some huge implications, particularly when I get a decent rig either later this month or in November.<\/p>\n<p>ICC 25 heroic Putricide and Sindragosa tonight. Fingers crossed for the swift deaths of these two pains in my ass, if only for the hopes of my current guild&#8217;s Glory of the Icecrown Raider (25) drakes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Sadly, I am not as cool as Tina Fey.) &#8211; I&#8217;m one Manalicious quest away from Chef. &#8211; On Saturday, I actually HAD the Blacktip Shark IN MY BAGS and used Aspect of the Cheetah to run to the NPC and while clicking on him, heard the sound when he got the Master Angler of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[74,5,31,70,14,48,57,19,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1434","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-achievements","category-apotheosis","category-beta","category-cataclysm","category-gear","category-healing","category-icecrown-citadel","category-raiding","category-ramblings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kurn.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1434","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kurn.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kurn.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kurn.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kurn.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1434"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kurn.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1434\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kurn.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1434"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kurn.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1434"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kurn.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1434"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
