Huato

Then who is gonna tank those destroyers?!

Well...to be honest, hammersmithing is not all that hot right now. Go here: http://www.clanskullcrusher.com/roster/cha...;action=recipes That's everything I can make atm. There's currently only one hammer that requires being a hammersmith to make that I can't make : The Persuader, and that's more of a tank weapon than a rogue weapon. Quite honestly the only weaponsmithing profession that is really profitable/ok is axesmithing. If there's anything on that list that interests you, let me know. I'd be glad to craft something for you...I've had fun with a few of those hammers early on...I used the Shatterer on Huato in the mid-40's for bg's...it was fun watching warriors and rogues wandering how they got disarmed . Not a very powerful weapon otherwise though.

Damned Blizzard and not letting Tauren be able to get other races mounts beside the wolves. I STILL want a purple skeletal warhorse.

So yeah...another Thursday Crusher run and I get das boot from the server and get stuck at the Retrieving Character List.

I'm willing to follow you Fomor! You have my support.

Looks good!

Before I forget...one of the main things with buffing parties is the reagents. If you don't have the improved buff due to spec, a good compromise would be to bring a stack or two of the needed reagent to cast that buff. I know I've had people hand me a stack or two of Wild Thornroot for GoW, and I've been very appreciative of this. I don't mind buffing the entire raid, but it get's costly in a hurry. I try to bring 3 stacks of the stuff every run because there have been times I've used close to 60 of them in a night. That's around 4 gold if I have to buy all 60 each run(would be cheaper if I would pvp with Zu a little to get to seargent and get the added 10% discount).

We now also have more than one Resto spec Druid coming along too (thankfully ) That helps tremendously with healing....with my gear and spec, as long as I don't put all of my fire resist gear, my rejuvs tick for 310 each time. I can, on a crit, heal nearly 5k hp with healing touch. That makes a huge difference in the healing area. We also have more Druids along now and that also helps. I don't think anyone is saying that Shadow priests can't buff or heal as good as the other spec...we know they can with the right gear. I think it comes down to at times seeing shadow priests dps'ing when they should be healing. It's like Shaman and Druids too...they too have dps specs but are able to heal. Anytime I brought Huato when he was specced elemental or enhance I always stuck to healing when we fought bosses and the Molten Giant/Destroyer combos since they have such a high damage output potential on the tanks. While it's more important to heal on the bosses, lava packs, and giants encounters, everyone should be helping to heal their groups during every trash mob that can heal. It keeps the raid alive and moving through the instance faster, and also helps keep down the repair bills. Plate wearers have it the worst, then it goes down from there based on type of armor, but it still isn't cheap. Zuato's leather is cheaper to repair than Huato's mail, but it still gets costly in a hurry if I die alot. I cringe to think what our tanks have to pay when I can't get a heal off in time. What it really boils down to in MC, BWL, Onyxia (to a lesser extent), AQ40, and now Naxxramas is that the healing classes have to heal for the raid to be successful. You can still dps in the 5/10/20 mans, or when allowed to by the raid/group leader. We're not saying that you have to respec or not come at all, just please be mindful of what is going on. Overall we did very well last night. We had Shaz down by 11:30, and we had a few wipes, but we have come very far since we began.

I've lucked into two. One in Winterspring and one in EPL.

Hooray for Mana oil!! ::Zuato does happy dance::

Aye, spirit is more beneficial to Druids than to Shaman (Tier 3 is very representative of what makes most sense stat wise for end game raiding...Shaman get Sta & Int, Druids get Sta, Int, and Spirit). I get more mana/tick on Zuato than I do with Huato, and Huato has more mana/5 gear. I have noticed a difference...I even sought out a small spirit enchant to my boots for a little more (ok, 1/tick)

Don't forget that mages can teleport to Darnassus...just like any of the major cities. Even if you cut off the boats, a raid party could get there in a hurry.

I have 2 Black Lotus that I am willing to donate to a mage for one of their flasks.

Zuato is an alchemist and can make most of what is listed here. I am fresh out of dreamfoil, but am always willing to make anything in my list for anyone if they provide the materials, and if I have enough mats on me I'll make pots for free too.

Baracko, I never truely took your title from you! I ended up with my own title -> Loot Pig. Oink! (We need a pig smilie now!) That said, I fell like I've lived in MC forever (around 8 months now). lol I have spent a lot of time in there, both in a former raid and in Maube's raid, and this is by far the most fun raid I have ran in. We have a lot of great people in it and running it. I love the dkp system, hate the random system. I have very little luck in real life and it seems that carries over to my dice rolls in game. I want to stuff the dice in WoW down one of the lava cracks in Ony's lair, but they seem to find their way back to me each time. Anyhow, I'm just glad we can do MC and Ony now on a consistent and successful basis. We proved a lot of naysayers wrong, and have a blast in the process. And the rest will come in time.

Now everyone knows why Zuato scratches uncontrollably while standing still!

Awesome! I'll get the items transferred from Huato to Zuato (Diamond, book). I need to get the crystals from Un'Goro for you so you can make the spires, and I need to scrounge up some gold. I spent most of my gold last night on the remainder of the essneces of water I need for a Hide of the Wild.

They may have nerfed him, but our group has really come a long way from the first time we stepped into MC. We are much better geared, know what to do during the boss encounters, and adapt really well when things go awry. "Ah crap! That's 4 giants! Everyone wipe!" Seriously though we've had some pulls go bad that we recovered very nicely from and survived because so many people thought and reacted quickly.

I still need a lucky dark coffer run, and thinking with Hu's fire resist being what it is now, that Zuato would benefit more from the enchant, so if anyone needs a resto druid, and doesn't mind me rolling on the burning essence should it be there, I'm willing to go along time permitting.

Thanks for leading this Maube! Raids are more fun when you are not leading.

Thanks to Greenbull, Kelani, and a few other generous individuals, I now have my living breastplate. Living is right...it makes my skin crawl...I think Kelani put bugs on the inside.

You can send Zuato Dreamfoil/elemental fire and I turn those into pots as well. I will also be farming more. I also thought of something else that may help a little during all boss fights...I've been working on leveling up my fishing and cooking and can make Smoked Sagefish: http://www.thottbot.com/?i=52423 While not a huge difference, it is easy to obtain and gives the person 3 mana / 5 seconds for 15 minutes after eating. I know as a healer every little bit helps. Zu currently has 27 of these on him, and will be making more. found this: http://www.thottbot.com/?i=52425 that gives 6 /5....gonna try for that before MC

I've been able to make 10 Greater Fire Protection Potions so far, and have enough Dreamfoil once I get the elemental fire to make another 19. I just need to go farm some more stuff.

I'll grab what I can with Zuato as I come across it

And Zuato is keyed now
