I sent a text to the raid leader on sunday telling him I was going to be slightly late. Instead of waiting for me, the bugger when right ahead and found a replacement. After an hour or so of raiding though, he came back, cap in hand, and I accepted the invite to go to Bastion of Twilight.
We get an easy setup for Halfus. I handle the two drakes released while Blackopal, the other tank, tackles Halfus himself. Halfus begins to stack a healing recieved debuff on Blackopal, so we switch tanking duties briefly untill it wears off. There is, however, no cause for concern as the drakes die quickly. Halfus soon follows with minimal effort.
On Valiona and Theralion, we initially have a couple of problems but these are soon sorted and the boss dies quickly. A tanking helmet drops. I roll 13. "gz" I type, in anticipation of a higher roll from Blackopal. Surely enough, he rolls a 54. One of the healers, Calastor, pipes up on ventrilo "hang on a moment, Black, aren't you rolling DPS gear now?"
"Oh yeah," Blackopal replies "didn't see it was tanking, sorry."
Another epic for me.
The trash on the way to the Twilight Council is cleared without much fuss, but Blackopal is forced to leave the raid due to a "Really bad family issue" that cropped up. We decide to head for Throne of the Four Winds with a random tank we picked up in trade chat. The first boss encounter is complete after two wipes (one of them partially my fault) and I lose a brilliant looking offspec belt to Infinitelife, one of the other healers.
Just stumbled on your blog. I was so confused at first then I realized you were talking about World of Warcraft slaps self in face. I remember those days but most of my gaming now involves games that I can pick up and play. Keep up the good posts!
