Rogue News/Latest Accomplishment ThreadFollow

Pretty simple idea.

Instead of everyone posting "hey guys check out xxx on my armory!" we're going to have this thread to post in.

You get a drop, respec, guild downs a new boss, post it here! We wanna hear about stuff like that!

Try not to rag on people in this thread for things they think are accomplishments; if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all (in this thread ).

Try not to spam this thread, but congratulations will be in order for some of the things posted, so that's acceptable. Stories are encouraged.

nice work, on a much smaller scale note I have been working hard on trying to get my resilience up for my pvp set. Last night I got my last honor piece putting me up to 350 resilience which is a benchmark I kinda set for myself about 2 weeks ago. Now to try and get that like 75k honor banked for 2.3

I really like the idea of this thread. I just got my first character to 70 and into Karazhan, which was a huge deal to me. Feel free to scroll to the next post if you don't care, but its a good story.

I got a spot in the guild pug run (6 guildies, me, a rogue, priest, and a warrior. Important later) and on the first night the Blade of the Unrequited dropped from Romeo and Juliet. A non-guild rogue, guild hunter, and myself all needed it and so the loot master had us roll. The non guild rogue rolled a 6, I rolled a 87...then the guild hunter rolled a 88. I was understandably crushed (I was using a 64 blue dagger), but the hunter said it would be a bigger upgrade for me, and let me have it. We ended the night at curator due to time issues (early morning work).

The next night we have enough for a full guild run and we convene at karazhan ready to go. We go to jump in the side door...and go straight through the portal. No zone in, no nothing. After a brief wtf moment, we looked down and saw "Transition Failed: Instance Full". After considerable attempts to zone, two of us finally get in...and come face to face with eight members of another guild. Not just any guild though. The pug warrior from the first night's guild. They had decided it was easier to ninja our raid then do their own. They had the curator down by the time we got there, but had gotten no further.

After considerable heated debate with the guild, nothing was resolved. A stalemate was established due to the fact that we weren't going anywhere and they couldn't 8 man anything. The other guildy and I sat down somewhere out of the way and hit the space bar every 5 minutes for the next several hours.

The next day apologies were issued by the other guild (who is remaining nameless because of the apparent sincerity of the apologies) and our raid was allowed to progress. We wiped several times on Aran (we kept getting adds, blizzard, polymorph, and arcane explosion chained. urg) but eventually made it to the prince. We promptly one-shotted him (is he disproportionately easy for a final boss or is it just me?) with the only complication being the last infernal came down on his corpse, killing our master looter (lmao).

He dropped the rogue t4 helm.

There was myself, another rogue, and a shaman that needed it. As I was typing "I understand, I'm the new guy" into raid chat, a miracle happened. The other rogue said, "I'm an alt, so..." and the shaman said "It's not a huge upgrade for me..". With the phrase "take it noob" it happened.

I had my t4 helm.

The satisfaction of that event was incredible. After godamned months of pure solo leveling while clueless, I had a tier item. It was awesome.

Thats my story, I apologize if you read it all and were disappointed. I had not realized it was going to be that insanely long. As I said in my previous posts, this ia all thanks in a large part to you guys. This forum is a gold mine of wonderful info.

I also thank my awesome guild, who, in spite of the fact that we're small and not nearly to the standards of the other guilds on these forums, is an awesome group of people with a great atmosphere.

Theo, this whole "nice" thing is a bit out of character. Did you get lucky last night or something?

he got "lucky" in a different sense of the word, I too am shocked :O


BTW theo, I like your interface, I need something to clean up my action bars, which UI is that?


and gratz arundel - prince is insanely easy if you get lucky on the infernals, but if you do not have the best of luck you can wipe on him with a full t6 raid really. [kind of a stupid encounter]. Also, nightbane is the final boss :D

I did.



Post your congratulations at your leisure.

zOMG me too!

/highfive

Got my rogue to 60 finally. Got a few nice upgrades of some Outlands greens and jumped headfirst into the Hellfire quests.

Next on the agenda is some farming of Ramparts to get the 3 dr5ops I need out of there and to get to level 61.5 hopefully. I seem to have hit a point in the Hellfire Horde side quests where i'm a level low to really do them without struggling.

Oh and congrats Demea and Teddy, add me to that list as well.

Yeah, hunters are extremely dangerous to priests. Leaving them alone will get you a loss pretty easily.

In other news tonight, I finally got Edgewalkers. <3 Moroes.

I also got T4 helm, but I'm poor right now, so I'm going to have to wait on getting my new mask outfitted.

Kara cleared (every boss) in 4 hrs 40 mins. PuG run (mostly guild, but 3/10 were PuG members), too.

Today (well, I haven't gone to sleep yet, so it's still today to me) was a good day in WoW. I woke up, and about 15 minutes later, my friend called me to fill the last spot in a heroic Ramparts run. Well, that's the only heroic key I didn't have at the time, so I logged on, and the group ran through Shattered Halls up to and including the first boss so I could hit Revered real quick. Got my heroic key, and we spent the next couple of hours dying and learning (the hard way) what kinds of CC will and will not work on different mobs in Ramparts.

Unfortunately, the world server crashed while we were in there, and it bugged the final boss encounter. Basically, the two guards at the end of the bridge that agro the boss when they die kept respawning. We killed them for about 10 minutes for some easy rep, then called the run.

During that run, I got a whisper from the Kara 1 team leader asking if I was available to down Curator tonight. Of course, I said yes, and sure enough, invites went out right on time. Unfortunately, our MT got disconnected, and our backup took 20 minutes or so to get everything she needed. Then she got splattered on the first trash pull, so our OT became our MT, and did a fine job with it. We got to Curator and wiped twice because the DPS wasn't burning down the final flare fast enough, so we didn't do enough damage during Evocation.

The third try went swimmingly well, but unfortunately, the healers ran out of mana right when he hit 15% (one of the healers was a enhancement shaman who we coaxed into respeccing for the evening). We wiped at 3%. Three ******* percent. Still, it was my first time in Kara, and I was second on the damage charts overall, but only because of those mana wurms in the Curator room. Mages can AoE, and I can't, GG. However, I was number one for the boss encounter by far.

In short, I got my last heroic key, and finally stepped foot into Kara, doing fairly well for my first try (or so I think). A good day in WoW.

This is a little baby accomplishment compared to you guys but for me it's huge.

I hit the 1k AP unbuffed mark at level 61. Woo hoo!!!
