Ambassador Coldarra

I worked on my DeathKnight’s home city factions since he was close to exalted on all of them.

He now goes by the title Ambassador (from earning [Ambassador of the Alliance] today). Like my Priest before him, all he needs to do is earn Exalted status with the Argent Crusade and he’ll have his Crusader title/achievement.

I think Ambassador is a good title for him — he’ probably stick with that even after earning Crusader. I mainly want the achievement complete so he can continue to do all available Argent Daily quests once patch 3.2 hits.

My 25man Progress

mim-room

Hearthing after a good night's run

Tonight was my first night in 25man with the guild I’ve apped too. After raiding with them on 10man early this week, I switched to Destruction (from Affliction).  I grabbed another handful of achievements from the raid tonight.  I’m just happy to have finally down all four keepers down on 25man (sad yes). 
- [Heroic: Stokin' the Furnace]
- [Heroic: Cheese the Freeze]
- [Heroic: I'll Take You All On] -
- [Heroic: Lose Your Illusion]
- [Heroic: Firefighter]
- [Heroic: The Keepers of Ulduar] -

Yogg One Light – 10man

Today was a fun day.  Today was the day that I saw Yogg-Saron for the first time (past phase one) and downed him on the second most difficult mode (One Light).

My 10man Ulduar (Trial Run)

Tonight I ran with my realm’s second best 25man progression guild in a 10man Ulduar.

In my current guild, the only hard-mode on 10man that we’ve attempted is XT-002 Deconstructor’s Heartbreaker. The guild I’m running with has completed the 10man Ulduar Meta Achievement.

So I read up on all hardmodes up to and including Mimiron.  I’m glad I did because they do all the 10man bosses on hardmode.

I got what seems like half my own meta achievement completed.  I had only done two towers on Flame Leviathan but now I have all these achievements from tonight: [Nuked from Orbit], [Orbit-uary], [Siffed], [Lose Your Illusion], [Heartbreaker], [I Could Say That This Cache Was Rare].

After tonight, I see why Affliction is not a popular choice for hardmodes.  The burst damage is just not there so I’ll need to use Destruction for some of the encounters.  My warlock has the dual-spec but I rarely use my secondary which is currently Destruction.  I’ll tweak it some so I can use it in a raid as well as practice with it outside of raid.

WoW Hobbs – Video

WoWHobbs is back and in his latest video he’s dragging all of Deadmines behind him!

“I called this visual art cause I really liked watching the motion of the numbers of mobs pathing. It’s like when you drive a car vs being a passenger, you see more as a passenger. I’ve pointed out in this video what I had not seen while playing.”

Embrace the Frostsaber

After many days & visits to Winterspring, the [Reins of the Winterspring Frostsaber] is now mine!

Frostsaber Mounted Action!

Since I already completed my achievement for the Timbermaw rep, I ended up wasting around 150x[Winterfall Spirit Beads] but that’s OK because I’m finally done.

The grind for the Wintersaber Trainers begins and ends with Rivern Frostwind in Winterspring. 
A basic break down of the reputation is this:
Frostsaber Provisions (250 Rep) is the only quest until neutral 1500/3000.
Winterfall Intrusion (250 Rep) quest will be available once you’re halfway through neutral.
Rampaging Giants (350 Rep) opens up after Honored is achieved.

All three quests are available to repeat as soon as you unlock them through the different levels in reputation.  I would recommend that you continue to do all quests as they open up.  You might think that the Giants are too far out of your way to bother with but all you need is a kill for 4 of each, no looting required.

I abandoned this rep grind after reaching my [40 Exalted Reputations] (many months ago) because it was a really active area.  It still is after all this time but only competing against 1-3 other players for the quest mobs is not too bad in my book.  It was quite tolerable especially knowing that there is a feat of strength being added in Patch 3.2 that you receive for obtaining the Winterspring Frostsaber mount (seen below).  The achievement was enough reason for me to revisit the grind and complete my 43rd Exalted reputation.

Crusader Mazer

My priest Mazer now has his Crusader title!

XT One-shot (as usual)

I offered my healing services on him to the guild last night.  We’re really lacking bodies for Ulduar 25 and healing was down last night so there I am healing.  I was happy with the meters, #1 on Ignis and was pretty high on Kologarn as well.  We also down Auriaya to finish off the night.

Still Wintersabers

During my ‘down time’ I’m still working Wintersaber Trainers Reputation grind.  Sadly, not much else happening at the moment.  We had to PuG some raiders tonight to fill out 25man Ulduar.

On a side note, I owned Razorscale tonight: wowwebstats.com/njqiiikvrqsxu?s=189483-266525

Multiboxing Unmasked by Turpster

If you read WoW.com then you probably noticed this video but I’ll post it just incase you don’t!

This video is from a series found on WoWInsider by Turpster.



Multiboxer’s oath:

I wanna be the very best,
Like no one ever was.
To roll 5 toons is my real test,
To level them all at once.

I will travel across the land,
Questing far and wide.
Or just get boosted through SM,
And the huge amounds of XP that’s inside.

MULTIBOX! (GOTTA PLAY’EM ALL!)
It’s you, you, you, you and me!
I know it’s my destiny!
TO ONE SHOT!

A look at Yoggy (10man)

vezax_10man-2ndkill

Vezax Kill

The Faceless One, General Vezax has fallen!  Well for me anyways, this was the second guild kill on 10man.  I was staring at the Atlantic Ocean during the first kill (which was weeks ago sadly.)  But after a Mimiron one-shot, we moved onto three-shot Vezax.  He is simple with a DeathKnight tank, haxxor simple. We had our mage switch to her DK tank for the boss.

So we had to go see Yogg-Saron for a while.  I personally had not refreshed myself on the strat for tonight but most of t he raid had the same issue. So we just worked on him some to finish up our raid time.

Our Fail Attempts! Hehe
