All quiet at Dirky HQ?

Sorry folks, not been updating my blog nearly as much as I should have been recently. Here are a few updates of what I have been up to recently with Dirky:-

  • Respecced from Affliction to Destruction, finally. Lets see if I can increase my damage output.
  • Had [Belt of Blasting] crafted for me, damn this thing was expensive!
  • Re-gemmed for some more spell hit.
  • Last Sunday’s raid we went to SSC, took down Hydross and managed to get [Fathomstone] off-hand,fairly nice with some more +crit.
  • Later that same night we took down Fathom-Lord Karathress and I was lucky to be given the Tier 5 token with which I got [Leggings of the Corruptor]. 2 pieces of T5 now, though the set bonus is rubbish!
  • Ran the Magisters’ Terrace on heroic difficulty a couple of times and got the nice trinket, [Timbal's Focusing Crystal].
  • Continuing the long quest chain for Onyxia attunement. I now have the key to UBRS and have 3 more quests to do before I finish. Mostly I’ve been doing this with my Son Morgan and some friends, Truot, Grizledorg and Tayn.
  • Did my first real run of Zul’Aman, we got 2 chests and managed to get up to Hex Lord but it was rather late and we did not manage to take him down.
  • Started doing the 2 daily quests which are at the back of Thrallmar, about 20 gold reward and SSO reputation to boot.

So apologies for not keeping you up to date with all these happenings, blame it on the school holidays and the kids keeping me busy :)
So as you can see, I’ve been fairly busy.

No updates Dirky?

Well not a lot to report, thats the main reason. I did a fair bit of Battleground PvP over the Alterac Valley ‘weekend’, got myself about 24,000 honor now, not sure what I am going to do with it yet.
The other reason for not reporting much here is that I’ve not been raiding much at all recently, since the guild changed their raiding times I’ve found it hard to get on at those times and perhaps lost a little interest due to that. They also changed the looting system from the DKP method, which rewards those who attend raids most to a method which rewards people who would benifit from items most. This is decided by the guilds class leaders in officer chat. I’m not really thrilled by the new method to be honest and I predict their will be some fallout from it soon.
Anyway, I’ll post some more news when I have it.

Maggy down.

We attempted Magtheridon back in December or so but failed to get him down. It wasn’t until Monday night after taking down Morogrim Tidewalker that we returned to have another crack, post-nerf of course :) We had one wipe, not sure what the reason was but on the second attempt we got Magtheridon down without any casualties!
I rolled for the T4 chest and won, I now have the full tier 4 set, although it might not be as good as the [Frozen Shadoweave Robe] I have, it does give me more flexibility in organising my tier 4 items in order to still get the 2 piece set bonus.
