Raiding Friday

Came home relatively on time today and spent an hour or so doing all my usual dailies while my son was taking a nap. I did this in hopes that in the evening I might be able to do some raiding. I’m not far from my squire goal now, just another day or two and I’ll start working on pets!
So right about the time I was going to start a less is more 25 man OS run I get a tell from Texas Mercenaries asking if I wanted to do Trial of the Crusader with them. So of course I said yes and headed out. The group leader of the OS really annoyed me anyways. He kept insisting on having 5 healers, I hate it when you do it normally with 5 healers, when you have 5 less people you need more DPS and less healers… Anyways the ToC was awesome! We went in and spanked the first 3 bosses no problem. One shot! Remembering everything we learned last week. Of course the 4th boss was quite complicated. We didn’t do quite so well on this one. We gave it 4 or 5 wipes then decided we’d do more research and do better next week. Instead we went to Ulduar.
We even did Razorscale so fast that we got the achievement. It was getting late so we skipped Ignis and went for Auriaya after Razorscale.
She went splat pretty easy, though we did loose the offtank to a pounce in the begining, but thanks to our 3 boomkin, one of whom was very fast on the draw with the battle rez we didn’t even miss a beat
We finished off with some attempts at Hodir. They didn’t quite have him down yet and I had never even been in the fight but it was interesting. Part of the problem was it was nearly midnight and I had been up since 4am so I wasn’t exactly at my best at this point. I kept messing up, and practically nodding off LOL
We made a few more attempts at it but they actually kept getting worse so we called it and I left for the sweet embrace of the bed
It was a fun night, though not much good loot. Only two people ended up with things for main spec, and we DE’d quite a bit of stuff. The gear was for classes we didn’t have! Oh and when we went to Ulduar they had to grab another healer, interestingly enough it was another Disc Priest. That is something I don’t see every day
Thanks to ToC I’m only 10 Triumph badges away from new shoulders which is what I decided to go for first. Then maybe a new ring after that. I did buy earlier in the day the Touch of the Occult gloves with some conquest badges. There isn’t much left I can do with the conquest badges.
