Bill, you can have my spot.

I don't want to take the only day you're raiding. It's cool, I'll sign up next week.

You are up today.

I've been reading up on the BoT fights. They make BWD seem rather straightforward.

At least I don't have to jump on anyone's head. I think I'd much rather die in flame/poison/goo/black stuff/explosives than watch the tank be eaten by a giant worm.

Speaking of bad stuff on the floor, there seems to be a lot of it in BoT.

I think I have absorbed most of it by now. You should be fine.

Realistically, we could 7-8 man a lot of stuff now with the gear levels people are at. Don't sweat it if you make some mistakes your first time through

I will be drunk tonight, so do not count me as a whole person, maybe half.... or negative.

I don't sweat this stuff. I figure my SUPER UBER DEEPS will compensate for stepping in bad stuff.

By "SUPER UBER DEEPS," I mean "barely adequate damage paired with lots of bubbling and Word of Glory."

My goal for the evening is (1) completing the thing and (2) staying above Cheeto on the meters even if he's handicapping himself.

I just got my two new 2h weps enchanted and switched my fury spec. Lets see if you can beat me on the Dragon BFFs (I dps that fight). I am excited to see how much dps I do!

Now if everyone can just stay alive in that fight (for once).

I will be too busy getting out of your way to out-damage you. Fury warriors are like chain saws, and I try to stay far, far away from both.

You got the A team healing tonight, you will be fine... (curse of death upon us).

Well, of course I will be fine. Lawk didn't even schedule me to go tonight. It's the rest of you I'm worried about!

He secretly thinks you are duel boxing and wanted to give you sole focus on Blueviolet tonight to make it easier on you.

Hate you too, mike.

Edited for oily specific. He really is a big thing on the internet.

That really needs to be his new avatar. That picture is glorious, Grinds.

Kudos... Kudos...

AAR on personal goals for Tuesday night:

* Get upgrade for any slot ... check (shoulders)

* Get the achievement for kicking Cho's butt ... check

* Not die a lot ... eh, no credit. I was corpsed out too much, and I do enough DPS now that I need to be able to stay on my feet.

* Out-DPS Cheeto ... well, whaddya know? CHECK (by about 200)

I still have a way to go on the gear (I misspoke last night; I need help with four slots - head, chest, wrist and ring).

And, oh yeah, that was a lot of fun. Thanks for a great run.

Don't forget- you do zero DPS when staring at the floor :).

You should be able to get your tier 11 chest soon (those pieces are high priority)...as for the rest, if you need heroics either for drops or rep just let us know!

Chest is (relatively) easy. Like Act said, spend 2200 Valor or Justice Points and buy one of the Tier chests. You won't replace it for a while, and it's the one easily purchasable piece of Tier gear that doesn't drop from BH, so eventually you're going to want to buy it anyway. Obviously the T12 Valor chest is better than the T11 Justice chest, but I know you haven't exactly been stockpiling VPs, so take what you can get. The T11 chest is still pretty good.

Rings aren't too bad. There's a 359 ring from JPs, but also a 365 from Molten Front vendors if you get that far (specifically, Filling the Moonwell). It even has hit on it!

Hat is easy. Run some heroics. Get an orb. Make your goggles. Profit. We would all even be glad to help you run some heroics. It's not like Blue and I haven't been doing them. We'd be glad to let you have the orb (well, at least I would. She can't even roll on them so her opinion on this matter is completely irrelevant).

Bracers suck. Good luck. (None crafted, none rep-based, and the only purchasable ones are the BoE Valor bracers which will cost a fortune. There are also BoE 346s from a rare spawn in Deepholm that might come a little cheaper. Other than that, there are only three 5-mans that drop them, one being ZG, so if you run one, you get to pray for a drop.)

Thanks in advance for the help and suggestions. Getting the shoulders last night was huge, because there wasn't an easy way to upgrade those without some RNG help.

As it is, I should be able to upgrade my hat (Chaos Orb), chest (about more 1,600 JPs) and the bracers (400 more VPs) in about a week or so. For the ring, I'm facing lots and lots of FL dailies. Wheeeeeee!

Firelands will ice over before I actually finish the Molten Front dailies....I don't have the drive to do it.....I'm burned out from loremaster and refuse to quest!!!

The best part of the FL dailies: The more you do, the more you'll have available to do.

It's like this, but in pixilated plate armor.

Wait... you sound like how my boss handles my workload... You do a good job at getting your stuff done, so she piles more work on for me. That is what I think of daily quests in the firelands. You do a bunch... collect 150 coins, and get rewarded with ... collect 150 more coins, which in turn gets you to turn in 125 more coins. Yeah, please punch me in the sack a few more times. Let's get back to killing internet dragons already blizz.

Don't spend your VP on the bracers. Buy them from someone (around 10k) and save your VP for tier or BoP items. BoE VP items seem expensive until you realize that once you've got your VP items, you can sell a pair of them and make your money back.

Please have an understanding of Shannox, Beth, Rhyolith, and Baleroc for this evening.

Also, next week is up. Please sign up sooner than later.

There are a lot of conflicting reports on Baleroc. Depending on who you ask it's either a two-tank or a one-tank fight.

Either way I guess we have the easy job. We just sit there and get hit. The rest of you are the ones who have to do most of the work.

Reports from friend's guild is that it is easier as a 2 tank fight- offtank starts out with Baleroc and just gets enough Blaze of Glory stacks to survive Decimation Blade (so until he has 250k+ HP), then main tank takes him for the rest of the fight. Offtank taunts him every time he does decimation blade, then the MT taunts him back to minimize healer stress. MT should coordinate and save cooldown use for Inferno Blade.
