A Different kind of Insanity

Some time after giving final blow to Lich King, I had chance to go see how much powerful is Argent Tournament's Trial of the Grand Crusader 25man compared to normal TotC25.
Luckily the place was more familiar than ICC was, so I had some time to actually concentrate on healing instead of remembering tactics.
With the group I was with, it probably felt much easier than it really was, but if getting achievement from TotGC25 wasn't enough, I'm also proud owner of A Tribute to Insanity.



I've also been getting familiar with Lich King 25man heroic mode and the fight is really much fun. Instead of having simple phase1, you need to be watching out shadow traps all the time, or they will blow you, and probably few of your friends too all way to Ironforge.
If that's not fun enough, you also have to run with plague speed of light to other tank and Infest really does hurt!
Transition to phase2 is not much different from normal but in phase2 Infest and Valkyrs seems much more deadly.

Slaying the King of the Dead

My insane project have been in a small break since I've been enjoying too much about leveling my alts (all hail second druid).
If someone would have told me at morning, that I will kill Lich King in 25man at evening, I would have been rolling over the floor and probably die to laughing.
But I still got awesome opportunity to go explore deeper into Icecrown Citadel and kill Putricide, practice Sindragosa heroic (that was sooo intensive fight and as first timer I really had problems to remember all tactics), and finally kill it in normal mode and go /wave to Lich King.
Arthas fight was just pure awesomeness, I hardly did have time to breathe when I was enjoying it so much. For some reason the fight seemed easier than Sindragosa ("maybe" because we tried Sindra in heroic) and while trying to follow all tactics I had time to think "woahs" and "awesomes" in my head.
And when I finally saw Arthas killing us all and Tirion ressing us and watching all the light shows, me and my pc was both so excited that I got critical error after getting achievement.

Now I can go sleep smile in my face and think how nice "Lumie the Kingslayer" sounds.

Deeper into the Madness

Finally I had more time to farm my Ravenholdt rep, and now I can say I'm over half way from the trouble.


"Only" 640 boxes left :)

The Descent into Insanity

I've been planning the insanity grind for long time, but this far I've just got Bloodsail to honored.
Last 2 days I've been killing Syndicates and farming heavy junkboxes in BRD with my rogue.



Still worst is just starting. My progress this far:
-Bloodsail honored
-Ravenholdt 5774/21000 (needs exalted)
-Darkmoon Faire 2000/6000 (needs exalted)
-Shen'dralar 1000/3000 (needs exalted)
-Goblins hated (needs exalted to all 4)

Awaken

While doing my regular daily heroic routines with my characters, I got suprising request to come heal Valithiria Dreamwalker in Icecrown Citadel 25man.
Because of my 1 month Aion break I never had enough time to try 25man or even 10man in that wing, I was hesitating.
The asker told me I don't need to worry, there's no tactics I need to know.
Still he "forgot" to tell me they're killing Dreamwalker in heroic mode, and that I found out after the boss was dead, or in this case, very alive.
After that they wanted to continue Rotface and do it hardmode also. I was asked to join and we killed him in one shot.
I was so confused with all the tactics "be close boss, watch out slimes, run to other tank if you get debuff, be behind boss and watch out the slime spray". I managed to stay alive the whole fight and not mess up so badly (I hope!).
Since no one from their guild needed Helm of the Elder Moon I got it. How Lucky!

I also learned not to leave PoS after last boss when having "Jaina's Call"-debuff (atleast when flying outside instance!), since I left the group, was still stunned and fell to death.
