10-man raid night. First Maly, then Naxx. Again, we’re going for achievements. I’m not entirely sure why. For me it’s just the idea of having any kind of a goal, and moving FAST is about all that’s keeping me awake. It’s been a long time since I wanted anything from Naxx 10-man, and it’s getting old. Despite the achievement goal, we did have one alt along with us, because… well, he could actually use the gear.
Now, of all the Naxx achievements, there are a few that – for whatever reason – our 10-man group is just never going to get. Things like not crossing the charge on Thaddius. This just doesn’t penetrate the brains of some of our raiders. Also, not dying to anything ever – just not gonna happen. Hrist, from this screenshot, seems to agree:
Other than some silly wiping on Maly, it was a good night. We picked up the Spore Loser achievement, which was the only new one for the night. We missed Make Quick Werk of Him by 15 seconds or something (again) but we did have an alt doing less damage than the tanks, and 3 healers, so not really the group for it. We also had someone die on the lava dance, which was sad. I deducted DKP for that one, let me tell you.
Delightfully, I managed to cripple Arust’s dps somewhat. I’ve been testing various MM builds on the PTR and found one that worked really, really well, and was easier to play. I suggested to Arust that it might be good on live too, so he tried it out. It was not better, as it turns out. Hee hee. Here’s the Frostheim-goggles view of the recount meter for the night:
And, in sifting through the screenshots of the night (and trying to figure out what the hell I was thinking on several of them) I found this little gem. Say what you will about the nerf, I still contend that Volley rocks out and makes me happy in my pants.

the most amusing thing about that screenshot is that a warrior is still top dps on his chart in the pic where he is volleying.

Actually, it’s showing the warrior at a higher *damage done* (this was a crazy Hrist running in alone to fight the mobs for a while). However, I was at a much higher dps than Hrist
Alt of no value
Tee hee!
Heh, I just got the safety dance last night. So far, we managed to have someone die every time I was there except last night. Before that, the one time I wasn’t there for the fight is the time they got it. (and no, I am not the one dying, I hit shield wall when I get hit by the flame
)
You shouldn’t have to hit shield wall, really. I, too, have been hit by the flame a couple of times and it only does like 8k dmg. So the people dying from them must be getting hit a LOT or trapped deep in the explosion or something.
BTW: Frost, you don’t have to hide my name behind any clever quib… though I trust you enjoy said quib, so carry on.
I’d love to see that MM specc you talked about. And not to mention a post covering MM in 3.1.
But perhaps that wanting to much?
Great stuff anyway. Keep up the good work!
if u crippled arust’s dps might have u caused ur raid to miss the make quick werk of him?
