Lots of Avatars dead!

Seek and Destroy!
Since my last post Avatar of Health, Avatar of Disease, Avatar of Storms died, all on the same night. Avatar of Flame gave us no problem last night which he usually does due to Lava Storm's lag. Instead Anashti Sul's pulls seemed to be at the mercy of server lag, it took a while to kill her, but we did. Tonight a good avatar should spawn, if it does, it dies.

I love the Vudo that you do! :)
New record! I hit just shy of 15k DPS sustained on instanced Anashti, I was at over 24kdps before I died to agro, I tanked Anashti for about a whole second before falling over dead.

WTF, Yes, we're selling loot!
I've been getting a lot (8 today alone) of PMs both positive and negitive about us selling raid loot. We farm instances quite a bit, generally it's only for a couple of items. If we don't have a use for the gear, it goes up for sale. If someone needs the gear and is willing to make a bid, great, if not it's muted, which is IMHO a waste.

Some of our starting prices for end game gear may seem high, but there is no other guild on our server killing end game mobs, which means the gear is fairly rare. For the folks asking about a reserve list of items please send a tell to Gerrod, Onra or Vudo about this, I don't know if it's possible, but it never hurts to ask.

That platinium goes in to funding our guild hall, all potions and poisons and masters. The remaining amount is split among the raiders at the end of the month.

Avatar of Valor, Avatar of Storms & Pimp DPS!

We killed both Avatar of Valor and Storms and then headed to kill Anashti in Palace of the Ancient One with our quickest kill yet! I hit my highest DPS parse tonight on Anashti...

I was second on the DPS parse!
11,000+ DPS!
Unbelivable?

Check out the screen shot below!

Of course you'll have to figure this kind of DPS out on your own! :)

Three more Avatars dead in one day!

Avatar of Below, Growth and War fall to Dracos Argent!

Even though the fights are easy for Dracos Argent, I hate dancing fights. Brell and Tunare both require you to move while you fight them. Spell, Spell, Forward. Spell, Spell, Back. Spell, Spell, Left, Spell, Spell Right. It gets annoying!

We then went to Ykesha's and cleared up to Ykesha and his minions, which we will try to kill on Sunday.

You just can't make this stuff up!

So I am at work, For those who don't know, I work at Area51 Cortland. We sell used DVDs, CDs, Video Games, Table games like Magic: The Gathering, Dungeons & Dragons and Minis. We also have T-shirts & Fantasy Statuary and many other things that If I were to list it would take all day. It's a fun job, I brag about being able to play games all day, hell I have raided Avatars at work before.

We often get our share of unique and wacky customers, "Superman" who is a skinny black guy who thinks he is Superman and dresses up in a custom made Superman outfit, cape and all. The "Preacher" an overwaight head case who walks down Main St. just about every morning with his Mtn Dew bottle shouting what he thinks is God's word, which turns out to be gibberish most of the time. Today an new customer came in, I am going to call him "The Witch"

So an older guy comes in the store a few minutes ago, even before I have a chance to say hello to him, he says "Just here to look at your CDs" He walks over to the DVD section instead of the CD section so that puzzles me a bit. After a couple minutes of looking, he says "Got anything on witches?" I tell him I think we may have Blair witch project in our horror section or Harry Potter in the kid section and walk around the counter intending to help him find it. He looks at me and says "How do I become a witch?"

"Uh, Uh... I have no clue" I say caught off guard of the question, "We have these Harry Potter movies right here" Pointing to the kids section. "It's all about kids that go to school to learn how to learn magic". I hold the DVD up to show him and he yells "FAKES" and starts waving his hands like he's casting a spell then he stops mid cast, as the dragon candle holders we have, caught his attention and walks towards the front of the store looking at the statuary and candle holders. He abruptly decides he has to leave and kind of jogs out the door, I say "Have a great day!". On the way out he screams "I PUT A SPELL ON YOU!".

New crazy customer of the day...

Avatar of Health Down. Munzok's is going to send me to..

MUNZOK'S MATERIAL BASTION = WORST RAID ZONE EVER!
Simply put, the effort on mobs does not match the rewards, some of these mobs a drop CRAP loot and are harder than Avatars. Yes, AVATARS are easier than this zone.

These are just some of the quotes of DAYS of working on Umzok.

f'this zone.
Munzok's = HOS 2.0
this zone sucks.
We've killed avatars, yet we can't get past this cock-block mob!
If I go LD it's intentional.
It's ice cream night.
Can we go kill an Mischief? it would be more fun than this.
my dog is puking blood. gotta go.
Oh nos I am going link dead.
Umzok is making me poor, /beg
Can we go kill health, PLEASE!

Patch notes claim that Umzok was nerfed.
Yeah right? LOOK AT THE ZONE AGAIN!

We've officially given up on Munzok's Material bastion.


Oh yeah, we killed the Avatar of Health.
