Avatars killed & Lazy Grump

I am feeling kinda lazy today... So I am copying and pasting my last few days of twitter posts. :)

8/16/09 - Killed C:Anashti & won her charm Charm of Anashti. Cleared YIS, Killed Zarrakon. Then did the DD. Cleared Kurns, and EA! 8 shards!

8/14/09 - Killed Avatar of Mischief and the rest of DA killed Avatar of Growth while I was at work. , I hate SOLO leveling alts, 77 Pali LFG. Ding 198 AA on Grump last night!

8/12/09 Avatar of War down ~3:30. PotAO, cleared start to end ~45 mins! Zarrakon dead. Finished Raids in record time! YiS, MMB open tomorrow.

Avatar of Disease, Avatar of Justice Dead.

We killed Avatar of Disease Saturday night. I won the Charm of Bertoxxulous, I took it mainly for the reuse and cast speed along with the 3% trigger chance bonus for my gear.

Last night, we cleared Palace of The Ancient One, Zarrakon's Abysal Chamber, cleared up to Munzok in Munzok's Material Bastion (Apparently, Munzok is still unkillable, months after the zone has been released, wtf is up with that?) and finished the night off with Avatar of Justice.

My alt Grouser won the Hoop of Vampiric Celerity off Zarrakon, puting him steps closer to being the best equiped Templar alt on the server. :)

I posted on twitter a while back asking if anyone knew the lore on Zarrakon and his Abysal chamber, which is by far one of my favorite zones. Who is Zarrakon?

Avatar Kills!

The summer has made me lazy! We've killed a bunch of Avatars since my last update.
We killed; Anashti, Mischief, Fear, Valor, Justice and Tranquility.

Contested Anashti Sul down! ToMC, Munzok's Material Bastion

First we headed to Tomb of the Mad Crusader and wrecked it pretty quickly, not much to say there.

It felt good!

Contested Anashti became a struggle after the proc changes, we spent an hour on her last night and failed taking her down before the end of raid time. Today we changed our strat just a tiny bit and wrecked her on our first pull.

Worst zone ever!

After that, we ventured in to MMB, a zone which I am starting to hate less and less... We killed up to Gozak, and made a couple of attempts on Munzok. Onra won a helm, it's quite shiny, you'll need to check the link out in game to see the apperance!

Avatar of Growth and Mischief down!

Avatar of Growth dropped me a shiny new Symbol of the Faydark! Avatar of Mischief died and dropped a bow for Cylock.

Then we went to palace and cleared instance with a bugged Anashti, re-set the zone and cleared the zone again, two Anashti kills in one night and both dropped the same loot.

Off to Zarrakon for the final raid of the night and smashed his face pretty quickly.

Contested Anashti Down!

We killed Anashti tonight, first pull on an off night!

Anashti, Ykesha, Avatar of Valor & Justice!

My computer hated me last night!

Right at the beginning of pulling Anashti in PoAO, my computer crashed. My UPS apparently failed and started beeping like crazy and it shut my computer down.

No record dps for last night on Anashti last night, Boo!
Right at the end of Avatar of Justice my computer decided to crash again. Fortunatly, it was right as the chest was opened so I was able to get the gold! I placed a minimum bid on and won the Charm of the Tribunal to complete my neutral charm set, which will be added to my melee and spell DPS sets.
The only two other charms I would like to get my hands on would be Rodcet Nife (Health) and Bertoxxoulus (Disease), but I am going to wait untill they go to minimum bid.

We headed to Ykesha's Innerstronghold to finish off Ykesha. With that done we headed off to Valor.

We struck down Valor easy and for near minimum bid I got the Server disco on a new BP.

Tonight!

Tonight, we reset and cleared Ykesha's Innerstronghold again, 1st pulling Ykesha!

We then went to Munzok's Material Bastion and cleared up to Umzok, we will clear the rest tommorow night and hit any Avatars that might be up and probably do Palace and Tomb of the Mad Crusader. After raids we hit up Ward of Elements with some of our alts.

TSO CLEAR! High Parse! War and Mischief!

We killed Ykesha tonight!

We also killed Avatar of War and Mischief tonight!

NEW HIGH PARSE ON ANASHTI SUL!

17.5K+ DPS!

Check out Dracos Argent's websites for more updates!

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 - Anashti Sul - DEAD!

Avatar Anashti Sul dead to Dracos Argent!

Only Ykesha remains for completion of The Shadow Odyssey, not counting the last two names in Munzok's Material Bastion.

Avatar of Mischief, Avatar of Valor and Palace of the Ancient One

We didn't continue with Munzok's last night because we needed to keep on track to keep our normally rotating content up to date.

F.U. Void Annihilators!
We started with Palace of the Ancient One did a full clear on that zone in about two hours. I have really become to hate the Annihilators in the zone, these are non-named (which means they drop nothing but junk loot) mobs that look like giant floating stingrays. The giant floating stingrays of doom have a mem-wipe that generally 1 shots anyone they switch too, it feels like a constant rez fest!

Avatar of Mischief
Even though he's a fairly easy Avatar for us, he's one that I don't like to pull. He can be a real pain in the ass, like he was last night. We did get him in one pull, but one of the first AOE's tagged me dead, reactive up and all. By the time I got up, the group was going low and I didn't have enough time to get everyone up to green before we went splat. Even with us going down we still managed to spank him well under the time limit.

Avatar of Valor
What ever you do, don't heal! For us healers with itchy trigger fingers on the heal buttons this mob is bad. =) He punishes heals by disarming, or de-targeting the target of the heal. This is a mob that am very happy to take off most of my healing gear and go DPS, with the occasional spot heal.

Gearing Grouser!
A little while back, I mentioned I had a Sarnak Temlar alt, Grouser. Last night out of Palace, I was able to pick up the T4 pattern for shoulders and gloves. That makes 4 out of the 7 pieces and the shoulders are the strongest piece! Earlier this week I finished the fabled epic quest, which I am impressed with, because I get easily annoyed with long quest lines.

Please, stop sucking Butcherblock!
Yes, I just called out the entire server!
I am not trying to be a jerk, or be on a high horse, but the quality of play has really slacked on our server. There are only a handful the players I will group with outside Dracos Argent who I will do a pickup with. That's pretty sad on one of the most populated servers in the game! I have never been in so many failed pickup groups. I have stopped doing pickup groups... It's so depressing.

Palace of The Ancient One cleared! Anashti Sul is dead!

Palace of The Ancient One cleared! Another Server first for Dracos Argent!
Anashti Sul is dead to Dracos Argent. Her deity quests are now unlocked on Butcherblock!


Currently, I am just starting the third quest line for Anashti, hopefully I will be completing it tonight!

We then ventured to Ykesha's Inner Stronghold and killed Tyrannus for a server first and I earned yet another Kill shot!

Grats BB and Good luck on the deity quest lines!
