After a quick Gruul run to warm things up, the guild decided to visit Tempest Keep and have a crack at High Astromancer Solarian. Last week we managed to take down Void Reaver but it was a very different fight now that VR no longer targets the player it is casting its giant orbs on to. There is no warning by Deadly Boss Mods, (this is a bug in WoW 2.4 not DBM) so it’s a case of winding your camera view right back and looking up at his head, which if you have not been to this encounter, is a long way up! Of course if you are a melee class you have nothing to worry about, just stand in the middle, forget about the orbs and kick the cr*p out of Void Reaver!
Anyway, back to Solarian as I have mentioned before you have to run away from the raid as quick and as far as possible once you get the ‘wrath’, if you don’t you wipe most of the raid. We had 3 wipes before we took her down on the 4th attempt. We did much better and lost only 3 players on this attempt. There was a warlock class trinket that dropped,[Void Star Talisman] I bid a few DKP and was happy to win it, thanks Darkpact 
Wednesday night and a Gruul guild run was in order. A fairly quick run with a wipe on the High King and his 3 friends. In the end though we took him down and I won a nice cloak/back [Brute Cloak of the Ogre-Magi], this replaces one of my two blue items remaining. I did not want to spend too much DKP on this as I was still wanting the blade from Gruul himself. But it was not to be I’m afraid.
Oh well maybe next time ?
Last Wednesday saw another guild run in to Gruul’s Lair, I was very pleased to win the DKP bid for my third tier 4 piece from High King Maulgar, the [Voidheart Mantle]. I was hoping Gruul would drop his lovely sword but it was not too be. Still it was a very worthwhile raid for me 
My iMac finally came back from repair, even though it’s only been away a week I have missed it. A new logic board has been fitted only snag is the numpty’s forgot to re-enter my serial number to the new board, so the system profile shows something ‘Serial Number: SystemSerialNumb’ instead of my proper serial number! /sigh.
Anyway, I managed to get in to my second only try at Gruul with the guild last night, I got this nice belt [Belt of Divine Inspiration] from High King Maulgar but sadly did not have enough DKP to outbid Chixor for the [Bloodmaw Magus-Blade]. Well done Chixor, you have been waiting longer than I have for it
Just put a couple of gems in my belt, nothing too fancy for now until I have much more gold.
Just a quick note, dashing out right now. I got an invite for the guilds Sunday night run in to Gruul’s Lair, my first time in there and we managed to take him down! I almost missed the invite though as our washing machine decided to cover the floor in water! Nothing too serious thankfully.
It was great to see so many of the guild on-line 30th December too, obviously I wasn’t in line for any loot yet but I’m looking forward to my first proper run at Karazhan with them.
Until next time, Happy New Year folks.
