Not letting that stop us!

As you may already know, my comp is done for. No matter what we tried it just wouldn't turn back on. So Izzy pulled out his old comp, which also had issues, but workable once it turns on. I spent a day downloading the necessary things to be able to raid and have been playing like this for almost 2 weeks now. I'll have to deal until I'm able to get a new comp.

So last week we attempted Heroic Norushen. The first few attemps were a crazy mess of people forgetting their order and if they were to kill their big ad first or last. Once we got it squared away we had a good real attempt where we got him to 3% and the next one was a solid kill with 15 seconds to spare on the enrage timer. I believe we had a total of 7 attempts. Not bad I would say.

This week we went for Heroic Immerseus. At first it was a giant mess off adds, puddles and debuffs, but after just a few attempts we got the hang of it and on our 7th attempt we got him down with no problems. Healing that fight is insane with how much crap you have to watch out for: don't stand in puddles, heal and decurse people, stay out of whirls and swirl... it was fun though. I do enjoy hectic fights, it keeps healing interesting!

So for next week I plan to have us working in Heroic Galakras. Seems to be the next easy heroic to attempt. And from there we'll prob hit Protectors, Sha and Nazgrim, with Jugg and Shamans following.

We've gotten plenty of gear from heroics as well between rolls and loot drops. Izzy got 2 pieces for his priest last night, Bolt-Burster Grips from loot drop and Ichor-Dripping Shoulderpads from his roll, so he's happy as can be with his new BiS shoudlers for his Disc spec. And our lock picked up the Purified Bindings of Immerseus on a roll which made the rest of the casters happy cause that's one less person to roll against when it actually drops. On H Norushen I got heroic warforged Boots of Broken Reliance which is awesome because it's been so long since I've gotten gear that I'm Valor capped, so now I actually have something to spend them on!

In other news, my shaman was picked up by a pug on Tues for SoO reg and she was able to full clear with them in one night :D Not only that but I was loot whoring it up! I ended up with 3 tier pieces, neck, boots and 2 pieces for enhancement! She went up 8 item levels in one night O.o Now that I know I can handle normal Siege I'll be bringing her in on our reg boss kills in hopes of getting some loot and will eventually replace Kaliapy with her once their ilvls are much closer :)

Kiss that computer goodbye :(

This past month my computer has been shutting off for no apparent reason. Last week it did it again, but this time there was just no way to get it to turn back on :(  Izzy opened it up and tried his best to get it working again to no avail. Sigh...  I had to kick Izzy off his laptop this week so I could raid lead since he didn't want to do it. He brought his old comp out for me, but that one too has issues on start up. Once it finally catches it stays on, but who knows how long it will be before this one dies as well. Good news is our tax return will be here by next week and I'll be able to buy a new comp soon enough. In the meantime this will have to do.

Even with my computer issues we had a great week. We finally have a full raid team again (NO MORE PUGS!), and we full cleared with no problems at all. So this week if all goes well we'll be working on Heroic Norushen. I think our team has the DPS for it, so I'm looking forward to kicking his ass this Thursday.

It sounds horrible to say that when I know there are so many people out there already half way through Heroic SoO or more. This is my team though and I love raiding with these people. We have a blast and we've stuck together through this huge bump on the road and I feel like now that we're back on track and we'll be able to plow through heroics before a big nerf comes around.

Not much else going on... Izzy wants to get a new desk when we go computer shopping. He's been talking about re-arranging our bedroom's layout and putting our desks on the same wall. It'll be different raiding side by side instead of giving our backs to each other as we do now. Hopefully I'll remember to take some pictures or maybe even document our entire outing, I'm sure Izzy would just love that! lol
