Adventures of a Dwarf Priest

So I was doing some questing (almost done with LoreMaster) when I heard some guildies talking about EoE which is the weekly raid.  I have only tried this fight once with the Texas Mercenaries.  I’ve never go the achievement which I wanted.  Plus I wanted more frost badges   So I joined in the conversation about starting up the raid and off we went.

It is a bit frustrating because of  the drakes you have to use in phase 3.  In fact he would go down like nothing if it wasn’t for that lol.  Thankfully I think the vehicle scaling is working in them now too.  I remember at least if he targeted you before and you didn’t put up the shield you died, but now it really didn’t matter.  It was mainly the way you had to move around in a circle I found confusing and avoiding the lightning which was the really damaging part.

In the end on the 3rd and final try 4 of us managed to survive the 3rd cycle and take him down.  I  mostly concentrated on healing and the other 3 dps’d.  In the end when we got close I DPSd a little too, and we won by a hair with the last person up when it ticked over and killed him.  I’m glad I can cross him off my list and I’m not sure I want to do him again though LOL

I hadn’t been feeling well today but managed to get some rest and recover a bit in time for some raiding fun.  Before the raid started I noticed the Heroic Daily was Trial of Champions.  So I got in a group and did that quickly.  I noticed they added an option to skip the long intro finally.  Finished that, brought me up to 49 triumph badges.  I’m saving up 75 for my new hat

We blew through 10 man Trial of the Crusader quite quickly tonight.  Even though we had a few different people and some people alts.  I managed to get an upgrade for my neck on the second boss.  I upgraded to the Amulet of Binding Elements which wasn’t a huge upgrade, but had more regen, crit, spell power and int than my old one

After we finished that we were trying to decide what to do.  Some people were locked to various things so I managed to get them to try Eye of Eternity.  Some people sorta didn’t want to try but eventually we decided to give it a shot.

The first two phases we blew through really fast and were super easy.  We basically out gear it for the most part   It was fun and I enjoyed it actually.

The last part was not easy.  I tried doing what they said and was trying to keep up but it just doesn’t feel natural.  While I admire Blizzard for trying to add variety to the game I really don’t care for the vehicle fights.  They just aren’t fun for me.  I really want to beat this guy though so I’m going to have to practice and try to convince the guys to go again some time.

We wiped  i think 3 times then decided to go back and try and do some hard mode ToC10.

There was much pain and suffering in these attempts too.  We just didn’t have the DPS yet to do this.  We need a few more weeks of gearing up I think then we will be able to successfully do some of the hard mode bosses.  If we would not have people swap out geared people for ungeared people that would help too

Hardmode has such a happy portal entrance   Anyways I had a good time tonight with all the different things we did.  I’m only 11 badges away from a new hat too.  If I can get in a Onyxia or two this weekend, and some dailies this week I could have my hat for the next raid.  Then it will be time to work on my rings.

I’m hoping that the 3.3 5 man dungeons have some upgrades for some of my oldest gear.  Especially my wand which is still 200 ilevel!  Either that or I need some more good stuff to drop in ToC10 for me
