Leotheras is officially on notice
Sunday’s raid was delayed until Monday (last night) due to Mother’s Day.
That ended up being another trip to Lurker and no Wildfury Greatstaff for me. Our top Warlock has devoted an enormous amount of time and effort to creating a fire resist kit to off-tank the Leotheras fight. Over the weekend he finally reached the point of being ready to attempt it. Unfortunately his mother ended up in the hospital and he was not able to play. I haven’t heard the details of why she was hospitalized but I do very much hope that she is ok. A human being’s health is much more important than a game and I think the entire guild shares that sentiment. We will have our shot at Leo soon enough.
Lurker went down without much of a fight save for one warm-up wipe. My stupid ass got hit with the first spout on our second try so I spent the entire battle drifting in the water just slightly out of range of battle rez. Our tree druid disconnected while underwater and got scalded to death before he could log back in. Nevertheless, Lurker was killed without the two of us. The fight actually went really well considering I was a Guardian tank and the main tank had to pick up my Guardian then jump back to Lurker afterwards. Lurker dropped another Cord of Screaming Terrors, a Mallet of the Tides and the Ancestral Ring of Conquest.
Our main Warrior tank was all over the mallet and I don’t recall who took the belt because I was too busy comparing the ring to to my own. I had no doubt that the ring was an upgrade for me, but I wanted to know how much of an upgrade. I ended up taking it to replace Delicate Eternium Ring from my tanking set and Averinn’s Ring of Slaying (correction: it was the Band of Ursol that got replaced. I’m still wearing the other one) from my DPS set. I’m kinda being stingy with my EP/GP ratio right now as I am up against a warrior and a priest for the T4 tokens that still haven’t dropped. Those being gloves, helmet and chest.
And speaking of the T4 chest, after Lurker was down we ported back to Shat for repairs, restock, etc. and regrouped at Magtheridon’s Lair. We ended the raid at 11pm (cst) after four wipes. Each wipe was due to either early or late cube clickers which results in a Blast Nova. On our last attempt we made it to phase three (30%) just as the Blast Nova took most of us out. We still got him down to 28% before everyone was dead though.
It was a learning experience for many of us since we hadn’t been there before. The guild itself has attempted Mag before but that was long before myself and many other people that are raiding with us now had even joined.
Wednesday - if enough people show up - we are planning on paying a visit to Leotheras. Leo doesn’t have much of a loot table (mostly crafting patterns), but he does have T5 gloves (Nordrassil Handgrips for me specifically) and that’s nothing to complain about.
