Progress!

I got on this evening and eventually ended up in a ICC group. It was a PUG and turned out to be great. It was my first run with the 30% buff. The weekly was Lord Marrowgar so that was a bonus. Even got an achievement off Marrowgar
Everyone was well geared and the things went very well right up to Professor Putricide where we lost a tank. We almost split right there but someone found a tank eventually. We almost got him first try, but the second try we completely owned him. I was so excited to finally get him down and complete that wing.
From that point on it was all new territory to me. I hadn’t seen anything beyond him and was looking forward to it! The next fight we did was Valithria Dreamwalker. This was a really neat fight where I had to heal the dragon. Since we only needed one tank one of the paladins joined me in healing while the rest dealt with all these adds. when we got the dragon to full we won. It was a really neat fight and I had no idea something like that existed in ICC.
We did good up to the blood queen where we had some issues with all the coordination but eventually got it down and defeated her! That is an interesting fight too, not terribly difficult once you get down all the things you have to do.
We lost one of the tanks and everyone was ready to call it but some of us, me included wanted to just see Sindragosa. So we went ahead and got her and gave her one shot. Someone got their wife to get on who was a tank to help just once. We did one run on it and got the gist of it. I look forward to finishing that one some day I hope! It was exciting I got frozen first off
Gear wise it wasn’t too exciting. I was glad to get the badges though. Only DPS cloth dropped and a lot of plate and a bit of mail. In the end I did roll on a wand that did have hit on it but was still good. Also one of the guys gave me some dps pants I might use in my healing set too till I can complete my 4 piece. Getting new things was fun too, though now I have to gem and enchant some pants
Really enjoyed the group though and got a good run on rep!
