Highs, lows, and creamy middles
Well, despite my initial fears that the RNG gods had smitten me for my hubris, I was rewarded with another drop of the heroic Icecrown Glacial Wall. It’s exciting to have the BiS shield in the game, though for some reason it doesn’t carry the same level of excitement that the first one did for me.
Perhaps this is because I’ve seen upgrades to this shield at level 82 on beta. Ah well, dust in the wind, my friends!
On the plus side, the new shield gives me a huge chunk of armor to add to my pile, which makes hitting the raid boss cap all but inevitable. And speaking of, during Saurfang last night somehow I failed to beat my previous record…
I had a Mongoose proc when screenshotting last week, so I think that number was abnormally high. Maybe I’m fine, but I have this lingering doubt that I had the 251 version of the Unidentifiable Organ equipped still after having scored the heroic one on Sunday night (I apologize for not bombarding you with six links for this item, heh). In any case, I’ll need to double check that when I get home.
Tonight I’ll finally re-enchant my Ardent Guard for Major Agility, make sure my armor set is correctly set up, and then prepare for glory.
As for the raid as a whole last night, it was another pretty great night. We knocked out Halion, then everything in ICC as heroic for the first wing, plus Blood Wing, and Dreamwalker. Sindragosa we had to do on normal to get our third Shadowmourner-in-waiting his frost infusion, so he can start accumulating shards as early as next week. The second Shadowmourner, Morvain, is already at 42 shards after five weeks.
We have Heroic Put on deck for this evening. I’m hoping for some major progress to be made, so cross those fingers!

Gratz on shield. It’s got a lovely red socket, perfect for a 20 strength gem.

Hahaha, I’m sure that’s what Ana’s sporting in hers. I’m too plainjane for anything other than a Shifting Dreadstone.
Mine has a solid in it, most of the time.
I just like being the voice of unreason. I think it’s part of being a raid leader – I can’t do it to my guild, so I do it to Maintankadin and your blog.

Is that the Last Word you’re using?
I use it often and take a lot of crap for it on my server.

People give you crap for Last Word? Really? How can they hate this weapon, it’s amazing: a slow(ish) swing speed, nice chunk of strength, ok stamina, and an amazing proc. Best survival weapon in the game!

Well, I’m glad I’m not crazy for preferring it on most encounters. Yeah, every time another tank inspects me the I’m barraged with “lol” and “wtf”.
It’s not a real confidence builder. ;-)
