Being a Disc for Lich King

We are finally on the 2nd phase of Lich King!! Calling that a Guild Progression?? OMG yes it is....

We are kind of short of people these days...amazingly we are at full force today...even though there are some who DCed etc...

Bakasan is around and had paid off his wow finally...He has not been playing since he did not pay for WoW subscription...OMG one of our best DPS...

Come to think of it...there are a few that are not sentient...so we are kinda like doing it 20 man if you count the DCed ones...

Very taxing for me since I did not see the infest timer, what I did is before the start of the fight...around 20 sec before I would have started shielding the whole raid grp....and then continue shielding the whole raid throughout the fight...

Checked with mao mao...he mentioned tat if I can shield 20 sec before the infest is being casted its better...I guess I must pay more attention to the infest timer the next time we try out the fight again...

We are doing fine so far since we have done enough practice on running away from defile...we stack before Val'kyr so that all the 3 Val'kyr will throw the raid off at the same direction allowing the dps to be able to get it killed before anyone is being thrown off...

I hate it when I get taken by Val'kyr...cos tat way it gives me less time to shield the raid...best is when I am being thrown off...then when the Raid Leader calls for shield I am dead...

Tiring fight >.< Real taxing for everyone...

Icecrown Citadel (25 man) - 2nd Try

Before going for raid I went and updated all the mods that I am using...most importantly the Grid, GridIndicatorSideIcons, GridStatusRaidDebuff and also FuBar...not sure why Omen is not updated.

This is the 1st time I did the Lord Marrowgar with the guild...I was the first to die....best part no one knows why I died....cos my death was not logged in death log...I could only see myself being impaled by bone Spike...sadly no one destroyed the spike....sob sob and no one healed me...Nanny was joking that I did not bribe him to heal me....Aiya!! Why me so unlucky??

For Lady Deathwhisper, I had the same problem as last week...I was having cold hands when we finished the fight....strangely for the first try our tanks died...I was wondering why...

Especially for phase 2....then I remembered about the blue ghost....Nanny said blue (vengeful spirit, I call them ghost) and green (death and decay on the ground) is bad...of cos they are...in fact there are times when the ghost spawns, you just have to make sure you don't stand too near to those areas and run away from them quickly...you will see some blue lines and hear a sound when they are spawned...

3rd boss, Gunship Battle, Nanny was asked to be attack team...LOL he say he might not be able to come back to the main ship....Lucky I already got my jet pack ready and equip...when mao mao as me to go as attack team I was prepared....in fact I will suggest that every get one of these for the fight in case you have to go over....My first try jumping over...the range of these packs were quite far in fact...

For Deathbringer Saurfang, since we have to spread out 12 yards to avoid mark from verzak I was being asked to stack with our super heal...while the 2 big fat chicken sneeze adds away...ready to go when the instance server was being scheduled to restart in 15mins and we had to rush through the fight...sadly due to some technical or strategic positioning problem, we wiped and had to wait for the instance to restart before we can go for the 2nd try....

Nanny's telling me its suppose to be an easy fight...I agree...but some were standing too near to each other and the "blood boil" actually got spreaded to another group...but we did quite well for the 2nd try...we even achieve the "I've Gone and Made a Mess (25 player)" - by eefeating the Deathbringer before Mark of the Fallen Champion is cast five times in 25-player mode....heee....consider a guild progression?

We went back to doing ToGC and I got myself a trophy to get a new gear...For Twins (which is our last boss for 25 man raid), mao mao keeps telling me I was healing badly...Told him "cos I too old liao"....our super heals say "I am even older" OMG how to compare stamina with super heal...I play till late I CMI already...can talk can laugh...but concentration need to train since I din play for some time....

OMG we downed Twins! (25 Man Heroic)

We downed Twins~!! Which makes us 2nd on the server!!! (and we kinda raid only on thurs - 10 man and Fri & Sat - 25 man) OMG!!! or rather the guild did, I din do anything much on the last try when the guild downed it...I got DCed LOL....OMG super heals and legendary heals were there so no worries!!! Dawyn and I were DCing for the last few tries....we were doing fine for the first few tries....since we have moved to the new house our internet connection has been very bad...the cable guy tat did the cable for us did like 4 splits in different rooms before coming to ours....So the internet connection has been so bad that I am having like 600plus ms latency....

So we attempted on Anb'arak...wow really PITA...I thought twins was tough...I had to off my recount so that I don't get DCed at the start...

Downed 25 Man Heroic ToC - Lord Jaraxxus

Yeah finally got the stupid yeti (Ice Howl) down!!!! Actually the guild had downed it like 2 weeks ago but I never had a chance to do it with them...previously I did it with the guild the Yeti likes me too much...keeps running after me...ehmmmm..... =( trick to get out of his way is to strafe side way...look at where he is going...problem is when you are somewhere near a person and you are not very sure which way he will be pouncing to...cos the angel is too small....

We downed Lord Jaraxxus after a few tries...our legendary (nanny) and Shadow priest (mao mao) were both saying that they were both saying that they have to be around to be able to down bosses hee....

This fight seems simple if everyone just stay out of trouble...interestingly we were doing fine (but still cannot make it when 2 healers where being locked/silent) when we had 4 healers...with nanny not DCing, we were healing with 5 healers (oak-super heals/val - legendary heals/erectos - shadow heals in disc lol/lohkies - new heals and myself).....If a portal spawn without an extra mistress...it should be a very nice and easy go...so our tank was screaming all the way in his broken mic (I keep hearing pfttt...pffttt....) to kill the portal/hit the portal...LOL...same goes for the volcano...

I would say that "Incinerate Flesh — Burns the flesh off your bones!" is a real PITA....It absorbs the next 60000 healing received and decreases damage dealt by 50% for 12 sec. If Incinerate Flesh is not removed before it expires it will cause a Burning Inferno (which is even more PITA). So to avoid that...according to mao mao, its best to get a pally to heal the person that gets the debuff...I just had to throw like a Greater Heal and a Flash Heal on the person and leave the rest of the heals to nanny and it will be taken care of..Most of the time my second heal cast was not even done and the debuff is already gone....

It is very bad when both our super heals and legendary heal is being CCed...the last try we did at the very last min...Oak had the "Incinerate Flesh" and OMG nanny was loced and was not able to heal LOL...And I was healing my hands off Oak...but still the heals were not enough...and it actually expires and killed most of the raid...OMG...nevertheless we downed him!!!!!!! Happy!!!! Yeah!!!! I took a screen shot before the guild gathered together for the guild photo....




WOW I really find the 2 addons: GridIndicatorSideIcons and GridStatusRaidDebuff cool!! I can see very clearly who are the poeple who will be getting dmg etc...and time it in such a way that I can heal them right after they get dmg...

GridIndicatorSideIcons helps me see very clearly who to dispel and also who to remove the disease from...Best part I can see all the debuffs tat the raid is getting...

Heroic General Vezax




wooot!!!!! We finally down General hard mod!!

Gotten a new boots: Boots of the Servant, gemed and enchanted on the last try we downed generals...thanks to Zell...I must remember to send him back the mats that he lent me LOL...

Attempted Yoggs hard mode...but we were only able to down her till like 4%...in the end we finished Yoggs doing it normal...ran into one of the clouds in one of the attempts...wow I really have to have better stamina to do it...

Got scolded by mao mao...cos I was not dispelling fast enough...guess I have to place back the dispel button to my button 1 for that fight...If I keep pressing shift then 1 will be too slow to dispel...worst I got confused at first on curing disease...OMG! sigh....branded removing bad stuf slowest and healing the worst...Dawn keeps asking me to use decursive...but I really find decursive too stupid...

Mao mao suggested that I use gridstatusraiddebuffs (according to mao mao its for all the debuffs so I don't need to add in myself) and gridindicatorsideicons (which I find his idea to place disease and magic at different sides of the grid...cheer!!)...

Did a very cute quest, Mystery of the Infinite, Redux...fighting along side with my past...so cute...feels like having a twin self fighting for me...LOL...so darn cute!!

Downed 25 Men Faction Champions & Assembly of Iron

Downed 25 Men ToC...Faction Champions

NPCs are as follows:
Malithas Brightblade - Paladin (Retribution)
Caiphus the Stern - Priest (Heal)
Vivienne Blackwhisper - Priest (Shadow)
Thrakgar - Shaman (Heal/Caster)
Ruj'kah - Hunter
Ginselle Blightslinger - Mage
Erin Misthoof - Druid (Heal)
Shadowcleave - Death knight
Maz'dinah - Rogue
Narrhok Steelbreaker - Warrior

Wow...imagine we had to deal with 10 of the NPCs...OMG...

Did Assembly of Iron hard mode...killing the big one last... =) positioning is the same as what I have previously mentioned...just that we have added soaker Elyss (shadow priest, and of cos he had to stand away from everyone)



Our MT really best lor after the boss die...he came after the raid and more then half the raid exploded...Heard from dawyn that everyone saw this in tankspot and started doing it LOL...

TankSpot's Guide to Iron Council Hard Mode:

Downed Thorim Hard mode!!

We down Thorim hard mode!!! Hee...tough fight...I was healing hallway...getting very used to the "running left and right" part (where the Runic Colossus - Mini Boss, uses Smash, simply run left if you see the cast on his right hand and vice versa)...and also the part that Irony just runs up the stairs before our jump to join the arena team...

We were being separated into our different groups, 2 by 2 so as to avoid the chain lighting...

Sif is a real PITA, she will cast a few things that really does a lot of damages to the raid...

She does, Frostbolt Volley which is Frost damage and reduces their movement speed by 50% for 4 seconds...Sometimes Frost Nova also Frost damage and trap the raid up to 6 seconds...the most obvious of cos will be Blizzard, anyone trapped in her blizzard will have their movement speed reduced by 65%, I hate it when she stands next to me...Since the other 2 priest are doing MC, I had to constantly help to mass dispell those that are trapped...I'm very happy that I did a good job with my stuns for the fight! =)

Half way through while clearing thrash to boss...I pst mao mao and told him that I bought a new mouse "Novint Falcon" for dawyn to play wow...very unusual mouse...actually wanted introduce him to the new mouse since he play a lot of competitive games...I wonder how it will feel to play wow with it...

After that we attempted Hodir hard mode...however I was not healing well enough...according to nanny...there is a significant difference when mao mao heal and when I healed...of cos I din do as well...and I know that..

Nanny also added: if I were to use renew, I may as well precast a flash heal on tank...mao mao heals as a disc and mostly he does shield the raid...I should at least do it for myself and the 2 other healers I guess...Oak got distracted after we missed the timing...sadly our 2nd try we were on track...but we wiped...so since we missed the timing on our last try...our GL decided that we just down him without the hard mode...

I should be doing more prayer of mending and also circle of healing more often...mao mao and nanny thinks that I should remove my renew...I removed it from my common button click...guess tomorrow I must remember to remove the Glyph of Renew...I have found some websites that talks about renew and flash heals...I guess I will read about it more tomorrow....sleepy.....ZZZZzzz....

Another CMI day...

So envious!!! Hairy actually made himself the [Spellslinger's Slippers]...Drool....:P~~ I also want!!!! Need 6 Runed orb....wow....I guess I must start doing dailies everyday like I used to so that I can get my Azure Netherwing Drake

Our guild downed Hodir hard mod today!! Congratz!!! But too bad I have to sit out cos I am not good at healing in disc and sigh...nevertheless I am glad Hodir hard mod is done =)

We did the "medium" mod for Assembly of Iron...we killed the "Runemaster Molgeim" last.... =) yay!!! still considered as being involved in guild progression =) hee...cos first time we are doing it this way...




I CMI again at Mimiron again...when he did his "P3Wx2 Laser Barrage " again...This time so pissed!!! Cos I actually died after the raid warning was shown...but I din see him shoot!!! and next sec you see I am dead...I actually lagged at the wrong time!!!!! What the $#$%#$@!!! Wa liao I really suck big time!!! I must make sure I will be back on time for 10 men...getting worst and worst at healing these days...sure needs to do more practice...else I really have to quit WOW...

We did the 25 men The Obsidian Sanctum, Sartharion after the raid with less then 20 people...We had 2 wipes cos people keeps dying to void zones...fire wall and such...and I was in disc spec...so I got fed up so for the 3rd try I revert back to using holy specs...I went OOM at the end...gosh...tough...

Feeling of Real Raiding

Finally after so long and still trying to get used familiar with playing...

During XT-002 Deconstructor, we timed everything so well that when the heart comes out we cast shadowfiend and then heroism and start to dps...at one time nanny even said I "play cheat", my DPS so high as a priest...LOL...

The try that we down XT-002 Deconstructor, in the middle of the fight Arn say that we are 1 min short, so I started to help do a little DPS as well by paining the boss...usually will be too busy to even remember paining the boss...but no choice...I did a 0.4 % dmg man!! Holy !! Stressed LOL...We did the hard mode for XT-002 sucessfully....

The trick is tat we form 2 grps melee and ranged...when anyone get Gravity Bomb (spawn a Void Zone), we have to go left and Light Bomb (spawn a Life Spark), our OT will be on the right side to catch the Life Spark spawned...

Today I really CMI after the hard mods...I can die at Auriaya & Hodir...wa liao so embarassing...

First time I healed at Hall way....panic like mad...lucky I took a coke after having the embarassing deaths at the easy bosses...Hodir (damn I love this fight most!!! can still die???!!!!) and Auriaya...




LOL @ generals I was really so sleepy and gonna fall asleep already when I heard from Hairy that Dawyn will be "one man show" on interrupts LOL....tat was so funny I woke up immediately....

I keep hearing him say R and 1...R and 1....that is his 2 keys to do the interrupts...first try he "missed" twice..."din work"...we realize that this way of interrupt has been fixed...so we were back to interrupting the same old way... LOL good try....so no more R and 1...Kek...

This my 2nd time doing Yogg-Saron... I still very blur about the whole fight...@ one of the fights, Kemeko was deciding whether to go left or right and he became a "chicken sandwich" in his "chicken" form when 2 green clouds meets...so funny!!! People keeps pulling agro and also spawning Guardian of Yogg-s...but we finally down her after sometime...phew....gg!!

Hard Mode - Flame Leviathan

WoW its really a PITA to do Flame Leviathan....Our guild core team had done the 10 men version of the hard mod before and they are really good at it...

We had so many wipes and have downed him like to the slightest 10-5% for a few times and we are dead...

Trick we did was to hit lots of pyrites onto the ground before the start of the boss fight and then during the fight the seige gunners will kill flowers and also down more pyrites so that the demolishers will be able to load to do more dmg to boss....

Best part is for all the demolishers, we load one before the fight, so there's 3 person on the demolisher, driver, a gunner and the extra...Zellius was my driver for my seige tank...

We finally downed him phew...=) still considered as guild progression...

Still overwhelmed...

We did a 10 men raid in the afternoon...after lunch feel so sleepy...I died so many times that my Nanny (aka Val) got the wind of it and make fun of me..."I died rubbing my tummy", he said...LOL...adding to the Dawyn's club member..."Bully Christy Club"...

Was so busy dying that I din even have time to take picture =P

In the evening we did our 25 men raid...I feel more awake...guess I am too used to playing games at night...

We did Ignis and Iron council to warm up...Downed General Vezax for the first time...My first guild progression...even though this boss is known to be the easiest...Its still a PITA...I was so worried to find out that shadow fiend cannot be used during the fight...sigh...read from wowhead that you can use "Dark Rune" to regain mana...actually thought to get it...lucky I did not...mostly just wanding the boss and PoM the tank and constantly renews...an occasional flesh heal...




Was really fun when you have to look for "Saronite Vapors", green cloud on the ground, this will let you restore your mana...and stand in them...

Each stack will increase the amount of damage taken and mana regenerated according to the following:

1 Stack 100 Mana 200 Damage
2 Stacks 200 Mana 400 Damage
3 Stacks 400 Mana 800 Damage
4 Stacks 800 Mana 1,600 Damage
5 Stacks 1,600 Mana 3,200 Damage
6 Stacks 3,200 Mana 6,400 Damage
7 Stacks 6,400 Mana 12,800 Damage
8 Stacks 12,800 Mana 25,600 Damage

Died in the "Saronite Vapors" for the first try...there was a try when both the vapors and also

Subsequently, I realize that I can stay till stack 7 if I have a shield on...and mana regen is not bad...as long as the interrupts are up...the boss seems easy...according to wowhead...25 men is easier then 10 men...

We wiped a few times at Yogg-Saron...and called it a day...Generally we are still at Phase 1 and we are over whelmed by the "Guardian of Yogg-Saron"...

Apart from the timer spawns, there are patches of green saronite clouds on the ground, which orbit steadily around Sara. When someone steps into one of these patches will instantly spawn an additional Guardian of Yogg-Saron...




So today I still feeling over whelmed by the new guild...LOL...Must add...still SCARY!!!!

No world events? Back to raiding!

Before raid, I happen to meet someone who wants to sell me Frost Lotus for 4 g!! OMG!! So I double checked with him and told him that Frost Lotus should be sold for at least 30g each…he actually got a shock…and decided to sell them to me at 20g each since I am so honest… no bad…

We down 25 men "Iron Council" at 11.58pm just before 12am!! Close fight... We gotta down 3 bosses...I call them the big one, medium one and the small one...(Steelbreaker,Runemaster Molgeim, Stormcaller Brundir respectively)...

Big one will cast Runes of Power, which look like big blue circles on the ground and tank will have to move out...most of the tries we had MT died cos MT did not move far enough...another thing to look out is Fusion Punches, which might kill the tank in seconds...

Medium one, will also cast Runes of Power underneath random targets, but this one better…if you stand in the blue circle you give more damage…so all in raid should stand there to dps…

The last one is the small one…this one is fun..when he is Overload all melee has to run…and when he does this Lightning Whirl, which begins to spin and shoot bolts of lightning at the entire raid…in fact it is really pretty when he does that…hee…

Then when the Big one and medium one is dead, the small one can be able to cast something call the Lightning Tendrils where by he will fly in the air and start to shoot lighting like the “bad spider man” and chase after any one in the raid group…very hard to heal when he chase after you…I had to save my desperate prayers and Health stone just in case I get caught in tendrils when being chased..

On the 2-3rd try I had casted my shadowfiend like for 3-4 times! OMG!!! The boss fight is real long...Then one of the priest had to leave…and so we have one less healer… Rabs called my name and said “So Christy you have to heal harder” OMG!!! I already healing very hard…any harder my hands will drop! LOL!!!



Nevertheless we still down the boss with most of the raid alive...at the end I even did lots of DPS...just to speed things up…LOL my DPS is like 0.3% out of the rest of the raid...

We all got "Heroic: I Choose You, Stormcaller Brundir" completed...So this is the first achievement we do with killing the small one last...

Children's Week...did I summon my Orphan?

Been doing the dailies at Moa’Ki Harbor…to achieve the “Daily Chores”…stupid horde came and snatch my “Snowfall Glade Pup” so I decided not to attack the protective “Snowfall Glade Den Mother” and went ahead with capturing the Pup first.



This makes me find out a faster way to complete my dailies…hee…not bad…I din know I can do that…

Keep telling myself I must remember to summon my Human Orphan companion before I complete my quest…



Yay! One more day of the dailies to go!! I have not been so diligent in completing dailies everyday…



Time for bed…its like 5 am in the morning...

Ahhhhh!!!! I woke up in the morning or rather at 12.20 pm and found that my “Daily Chores” had gone down to like 3/5 while I was sleeping….Uber…

No choice…do again…time to do some match making…”The Way To His Heart”…Love doing this quest…all I have to do is to fly to the place that has the fishes…they blink very nicely…I wonder if I can really use a fishing pole to “fish” there…

If I am lucky enough…the trick I use will be to levitate myself….walk around the area then use the net to catch some fishes….but you will need to do it at some blinking area - ”School of Tasty Reef Fish”…



Bugger…I found a pool of fishes but today after I cast the net… I happened to attract a stupid Great Reef Shark…



Its very fun to lure the “Reef bull” to the “Reef cow”….all you need to do is to stand at the distance as far as you can…throw the “Tasty reef fish” at the bull and he will follow you

Usually you will just need like 6-7 fish…but I always play safe…I get more like 10 of them before I start the “pull”…



So cute when you see them so loving…

So this is the 2nd dailies that I have done today….rawr!!! gotta be clocked as 1 for the day…

See I only did 2 dailies today...sigh...I took screen shot to show that I have done the dailies today…but I realize that there is no date and time to proof that I have done it today uhmmmmph!!



Our guild downed Auriaya for the first time in 25 men...Her health is 16,734K for heroics...madness...DCed half way through fights and I can't load my grid...Had to heal the old fashion way...But never the less we did down her...yay!!
