Disease Down - Rise of Kunark raid content cleared.

Avatar of Disease down - Rise of Kunark cleared
Game over man. Game over.

Grats Dracos Argent!

GU #47 - Not today.

I was expecting to log in this morning to see a the GU #47 installed. I was disappointed. Hopefully tomorrow.

GU #47 Delayed.

The funny thing is, is we are going to complete all ROK content tonight, before the change goes in.

Shadow Lurker Set - Void Tempest Quest Line

We had the night off of our normal raiding schedule, so I decided to do the Storms Quest line before tomorrows anticipated update. Check out my new look! I was always a fan of the T7 - Relic Set, for a Templar it was gold. I like the Silver better!

GU #47 - "Sometime this week"

Associate Producer Kristie posted today that the GU #47 update would be sometime this week.

Most likely Wednesday.

I can't wait.

SoH, PR, Venril & CoD raid zones cleared.

Very fast runs tonight, clearing 4 raid zones in less than 3 hours. Nothing amazing dropped. We're taking tomorrow off unless an avatar (hopefully Disease!) spawns, At the moment we will only have 3 zones open Thugga, Kor-Sha and Pawbuster for Wednesday.

GM Sighting - GM Rilwar

GM Rilwar fixed a bugged Quest "The Amulet of Mayong Mistmore" for both Giliath and Myself. This is an odd pose, he's actually bowing to me after fixing the quest for me.

Thanks again GM Rilwar!

Avatar of Below - Sent Below! Trakanon Down & Tangrin Down!

Avatar of Below killed after only a few pulls, only disease left!

Grats Ultimmaa!

We then headed to Trakanon and killed him and then killed The Tangrin first pull.


Grats Bonoman on the pants and Foresaken with the wrist discos!

Old School Raidin'

This morning at 1 am we saw that contested Mayong Mistmore was up. We 2 grouped him and got some junk! Boo.

DA vs. The Tangrin - Video by Vegaxe

Last weeks kill against The Tangrin. Music may not be safe for work.

Avatar of Flame extinguished!

It was an off night from raiding last night until we noticed the easiest Avatar was up during prime time hours we all got together and killed it quickly.

Avatar of Growth, Trakanon and Shard of Hate down tonight.

Growth Down Again on our first pull, Grats Gooom on the Disco!

Then off to Trakanon's lair where Atarax our Monk disco'd the Tunic of Intuitive Grace.

We cleared Shard of Hate where Onra disco'd the Crimson Helm of Horror.

Crazzel won Zuul, which I really wanted. That bastard!

more cat pictures

And the Verdict is... Server first - Avatar of Justice, judged by Dracos Argent!

Grats DA on taking down the longest and the most enjoyable fight in the game! The fight was over 25 minutes long! We spent a couple hours working on strat and pull spots and we got him!
I was surprised to see that I had #2 on my heal parse (fuck all your parses, mine says #2!).

AND THE LOOT SUCKED!
Yeah, we got the SAME EXACT chest that we did on the Bristlebane fight! Master & Fabled item. It was quite disappointing, the piece of shit item went to Vegaxe's alt.

Justice is dead and that leaves Below and Disease left for ROK content left for us to kill!

Light Raid Schedule tonight.

Unless there will be an Avatar up tonight during raid time we're going to go kill Trakanon, then clear Shard of Hate and then we'll have T1-3 open tomorrow, the only thing I really want from T1-3 would be a Vye Crest Locket. (but it's decent plat) It would put me up to 75% heal crit self buffed, in my heal set. Hopefully if an Avatar is up, it's one of the ones we have yet to kill.

To everyone who bought their mythicals last night.

Slops to everyone who purchased their mythical updates last night, it will probably be the first and last time you'll ever see VP. Grats to the Lost for the easy bank! What were you charging 500pp?

Big CONGRATS to the Lineage folks who busted ass, learned the mobs and finally downing Nexona and Druushk, EARNING your Mythicals! I know from fighting those mobs how frustrating it can be. During the couple weeks or so we worked on them and finally killed them I think I broke a headset, two mice and a keyboard. I blame Ruffeeo! (no, not really!) VP is almost easy mode from here on out!

Tangrin again!

Grats Deblin on the Dagger and Grats Ultimmaa on the helm!

Are you ready to die again?

EQ2 EGG

This is a neat desktop app for players that like checking out other players gear set ups.
EQ2 EGG Really easy to install, it polls data from eq2players.com. It's really neat to see how your gear stacks up to other players in the game. Here is a thread for Inquisitors on EQ2Flames.

Avatar of Mischief Down - Server 1st.

We dropped him on our 3rd pull tonight. Cure, Cure, Cure fight. We got shit gear that went to an Gerrod's alt, Frodogorn. We only need Justice, Below and Disease to spawn so we can kill them to complete the (Flop) Rise of Kunark.

Cleared VP in around 3.5 hours - I picked up Dreamslayer Slacks for Balthor.

Balthor Level 80 - Finally.

It only took about 30 minutes to get Balthor my monk alt from 79 - 81% to 80. Now I need to buy all of my Adept 3 CAs for 71+. Yeah I was kinda lazy running in all last tiers Fabled and some of this tiers mastercrafted stuff and other than my Master 2 choice the only T8 master I had was Dragonfire... So I guess it's time to hunt down a crafter to make the CAs and start running some instances for better gear.

GU #47 Update notes

I know these are on the official boards already, but I do not feel like wading through posts to check on updates so I am pretty much posting them here for myself:


TRADESKILLS
The city tradeskill societies are dealing with a bulk order for some new formal clothing, and require some assistance. Tradeskillers of the 60th rank or higher who have previously assisted their societies may speak to the Grandmaster for more details.
Tradeskillers who are skilled enough to see the tradeskill collection quests may find more rewards available in their travels.
Armorers now have a recipe for imbued devout ebon greaves.
The fuel requirement for imbued rosewood shields has been corrected.
The fuel requirement for ashen hearths has been corrected.
Imbued fulginate devout greaves can now be created.
Sparkling Cranberry Wine has been converted to Cranberry Cream Liqueur to avoid confusion with the existing Cranberry Sparkling Wine.


ZONES
Bloodline Chronicles
Adventurers may now zone into any of the Tombs of Night and the Crypt of T’Haen zones that a member of the group has access too. Previously, these zones were only accessible if everyone in the group were on the same stage of the quest.
Players can now zone into any of the Tombs of Night zones if anyone in their group is on the appropriate quest.

Sebilis/Chardok
New mid-zone respawn locations have been added to Chardok and Sebilis.



SPELLS
Faction merchants in Maj'dul courts are now selling a number of tier 5 Adept III recipe scrolls they were previously missing.
A stacking issue with stealth and group invisibility has been fixed to allow attacking from stealth.

Shaman/Druid
Spirit of the Wolf will now apply to the entire group within a 50m radius instead of being single target

Shaman
Shaman’s wolves should now have slightly more health to help their survivability.

Berserker
The Blood Rage line will not expire until the berserker dies instead of having a 15 minute duration.

Fighter
Master’s Rage will now do a melee attack and debuff the target’s defensive skills. It will also give an error if it is not useable on the target like the other archetype’s mastery skills. The recast was also lowered to 30 seconds.

Assassin
Fatal Followup should no longer be useable after Sinister Strike.

Scout
Sinister Strike should no longer debuff the target if it misses.

Assassin
The Hidden Assault line of skills should no longer apply the Damage over Time portion of the attack if the primary melee attack misses.

Brigand
Safehouse now has a short cast time and can be interrupted.
Melee attacks which had secondary effects will no longer apply on a miss.
The Dispatch and Rake lines will now hit slightly more often.

Enchanter
Sever Hate can no longer be used to pull through a crowded area.


PVP
Assassin
Fatal Followup should now work properly in PvP based combat.

Swashbuckler
Reach will now suspend while in PvP combat.

Zones from previous expansion geared towards level 60 to 70 players no longer have an unlimited level range.

---

Offnight Ugh.

It feels odd having an off night. I guess I will be leveling my alt up to 80, only 19% away, so it shouldn't take too long. Check that, I ran some quests with Gerrod, with his templar to finish up the polliwog protector quest, but I was a step behind him so I didn't get my update tonight.

Pentient's Absolution - On Test

Yeah this is pimp. I read on the flames that it has been put on test.

I am really exited about this change!

Faster Heals.

The extra group cure/heal is fucking amazing!


This is the weapon we needed! I don't think I will ever un-equip this now.

From The official forums:
Penitent’s Absolution (Inquisitor)
- Improved the healing power of aftershock. Should be like 75% of the heal. Also added casting and reuse bonus of 15%.
- The mythical’s intervene effect has been replaced by a powerful group cure which will cure arcane, elemental, noxious and trauma effects. In addition, when it cures an effect it will also heal the player for each effect it removes.

War down again.

The Avatar of War was up during our normal raid time tonight, so we took it down with ease on our first pull. He dropped the Purple Pants yet again, this is the 4th pair we've seen so far. It's kind of irritating.

We headed to the penis monster (The Leviathan) to flag some alts for VP. One of Deblin's alts and Gerrod's alts walked away with some junk and I flagged my alt Balthor for VP to take advantage of the always muted brawler loot.

We then headed to Trakanon's lair and Dominated (Tunic of Natures Grace) and Sequel (Robe of Shimmering Hues) walked away with both server discoveries! Ultimmaa got his Mark of the Dragonslayer, which makes #3 in the guild!

We ended the night early, with two hours left of raid time. Some of the officers were pushing for a 100% lock out of all ROK instances, but they decided to leave Kor-Sha and the Spider queen the only two raid zones open for us, to do tomorrow so some light raiding before or after the suspected avatar spawn.

Sunday night VP opens back up and we'll plow through that in a few hours and Trakanon should be open later that night so we'll kill him.

Mythical Headshots!

List of Tanks I have killed with my Mythical!
Cylock *
Atarax *
Ultimmaa (VP Trash, he was going to die anyway, so I figured I would help him out)

Onra is a sly one, I haven't seen a notice that he's died from pain and suffering from intercepting damage, I will get him though.

* At the same time on an Avatar Encounter!

\aITEM -579339747 -1116950329:[Ethereal Mist Gauntlets]\/a

Thank you Deblin for giving me the Totem of Anaphylaxin (or what ever it's called) collection quest.

I'll post a non-healing gear wish list later!

Inquisitor Mythical upgrade eta 2 more weeks.

I can't wait for this to go in! It's now got a cure click on it instead of a kill Tank proc on it!

To all of you folks saying our mythical is over powered - I say, fuck off! :-) .
Let us have an equip-able mythical! I am sure enough of you will wine to the point where it gets nerfed, but please our mythical was the worse than any other mythical out there, before you go all bitch winy on how uber it is, please let us play with it first. Trust me, after killing a lot of high end content with out using it, adding a cure will not break the item, it will only make some raids easier than they already are.

Server 1st kill shots, more bragging.

Mobs that I hit with Verdict, that killed them.

The Tangrin. 7-15-08
Wu the Enlightened (Avatar of Tranquility).
Avatar of Storms.
Avatar of War.
Trakanon.

So, I decided to make a blog!

Dominance!

My guild Dracos Argent has complete contested domination on our server! I am not counting previous tiers or the "casual contested" mobs. We have taken down almost every avatar that has been up since May, we've missed a couple due to holidays and not being able to spend enough time on them due to depop or they have yet to spawn. We've server first killed all but two Avatars, we also have server first killed The Tangrin (wow, who clicked the easy button?) and cleared SoH first. Right now we're basicly waiting for the last 4 avatars to spawn on our server and then we've cleared ROK. Justice, Mischief, Disease and Below remain. Hopefully I can have some of our videos posted soon!
