Got Champion of the Naaru :D

I got my Lockpicking from 203 to 350, i never really bothered to get it up, and it only took me about 2-3hrs to lvl it 47 levels.. lol

Me and a friend did our first 10 arena matches with our pair-o'-rogues last night, didn't know what to expect/how bad we would get stomped.

Faced numerous comps such as druid/rogue, shpr/lock, war/hunt, druid/hunt and a dreaded pally/war combo and we managed to do fairly well at 8 wins - 2 losses, one of the losses (Pally/war) was "avenged" with a victorious rematch.

One neat little trick I was using (dont know if its been done before) was if we faced human opponents I would throw a Distract at them from maximum range to bait them to pop their perception, and it made them auto-turn towards the distract! I didnt realize that could work on players but it did and sure enough they would reflexively pop perception, we would stay at max distance till it was gone and move in for the kill.

I credit alot of my starting knowledge to Theo's guide (amazing work of collective knowledge) and overall input I received from my fellow Alla-rogues.

We haven't actually downed him, but we have; 2-3 rogues, 1-2 warriors, enhance shaman and ret pally. We should get two solid days of attempts on this week.

You guys might like this,

Really, really depends on who you're bringing. Class comp matters a ton, as well as knowledge of jobs and the instance in general. Knowing that you don't really have any time to stop and drink, that you don't have time to discuss loot, that you don't have time to walk places (mount and ******* GO) after a boss really will help.

You literally cannot have a wipe, cannot get scouts, cannot get adds, cannot have more deaths than your BRs.

My group is all T6 geared and we manage to do it with 2-3 mins left.

Eh, it was our first try ever, we were awesome for most of it and we weeded out some people who won't be coming along often. At the very least I'll have a ZA static for badges and at most I'll have a mount. So heres hoping.

Finally upgraded my Edgewalkers to Tabi boots to put Cat's Swiftness on them as well as get some more epic gems in my gear.

~20-25 DPS upgrade (probably more like 50 with Cat's), yay!

Blinkstrike is a very nice weapon. Not sure if it was worth it, but its a nice weapon.

Personally, I just upgraded from Fel Leather Leggings to Trousers of the Scryer's Retainer. Gemmed them and only need the Nethercobra kit now.

Awesome run, got http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=28741;source=live from kara, picked up http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=33222;source=live from badges and http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=28524;source=live for off-spec :P

It didn't occur to you that 280% speed was a wee bit faster than 60%?

Got the Mantle of Darkness last night, and it was the first time we 1-shot everything up to Archi.
