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.

Avatars D.E.D. DEAD!

We killed Valor, War, Mischief this past week. We also killed Ykesha and Anashti in PoA!

We got our monthly plat split, thanks DA and Butcherblock for the 840pp!

Did I spew that? I mean spawn that?

Shenanigans!

So Friday, July 10th was my birthday, I turned 30, ugh. We had a party at my house that involved lots of vodka, Redbull and beer (pong), and then hit last call at two bars (Not quite sure how that happened!). It was a black out drunk that night, and even a week after, I am still hearing stories of that night...

EQ2 Stuff

Since my last post, we've killed Avatar of War, Disease, Flame and Growth.

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!

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.

Avatars Killed, Munzok's Material Bastion!

Monday, Dracos Argent cleared Tomb of the Mad Crusader, then ventured out to Lesser Faydark to took out Avatar of Growth. We then hit Zek and took down Avatar of War! We spent the rest of the night working on Avatar of Flame and again he slipped through our fingers.

Last night we hit Munzok's Material Bastion, many of us were un-impressed with the zone design, as it was a copy-paste of Anchor of Bazzul, except with epics! We took out the first three epics in the zone before raid time ran out. So far we've seen some a couple pieces of gear, a nice healer symbol dropped with 5 casting speed and 5 reuse for benificial spells. Hopefully we can make further progression tonight, if not clear the zone.

Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger!

Dracos Argent server 1st the Ward of Elements x2 raid zone and now we're waiting for the 4x raid zone to come out on Tuesday! While it's fairly easy for our guild to clear, we have yet to see all the loot from the zone so we may farm it in the future!

Anashti from Palace of the Ancient One has been killed twice since my last post. Avatar of Flame evaded us on Monday night and was not around when the server came back up on Tuesday (I don't think we would have had a chance any way) Lavastorm was packed and there were 5 instances of Lavastorm open! Tuesday we killed Spoiled Bristlebane's day by killing his Avatar.

Avatar of War & Growth Down! Zarrakon Bugged out!

Two more contested down for the count! Growth and War down! I'm pretty sure Avatar of Undeath, Anashti Sul will be the next evil Avatar up, but we're still missing a neutral from the current spawn cycle.

Zarrakon is broken encounter which lead to some comedy last night when only a handful of folks could target him. Which kind of puts a halt to gear progression on him until he's fixed.

Want to buy loot rights to Rune Etched Helm! Only three have dropped for Dracos Argent since the release of Shard of Hate the item is heavily wieghted off the easiest named mob in the zone. We can work out a platinum deal or we could possibly trade items that we would normally mute or sell from current raid zones. PST!

Rumor of the Elements of Corruption will be active on Bristlebane Day!

Avatar of Health Down & War down!

"My boner wont go down!"

Avatar of Heath "dies" to DA! Actually we didn't kill the Avatar of Health, we helped Rodcet Nife kill off Diseases' ugly puss ridden giant buddy Grummus, while Health was fighting Disease. It is not an easy encounter, with Butcherblock's lag, but it's one heck of a fight. I don't quite understand why we lost faction with Health, since we were helping him rid Norrath of Disease's presance. Anyway, Crazzel won the charm of Rodcet Nife, the best healer charm. One down seven to go 'till I will be able to get mine. :)

Grummus dead!

We also killed Avatar of War last night, and Argenteyes got some silly caster BP that is like amazing or somthing and his DPS went up bunches.

Avatar of War down.

We killed Avatar of War last night. Yay...

I got my set pants the other night, from Gynok. One more piece to go, shoulders.

Zarrakon's going to give them to me tonight!

Yeah, we rule. Avatar of War and Tranquility defeated!

War and Peace?
We beat both the Avatar of War and Avatar of Tranquility last night. The former was a server 1st and yeah, I got the kill shot. Both of these kills earned some nice loot and further our goal as one of the (EQ2Flames) top world wide raiding guilds for this tier.


I just hope some of the more unique avatars start spawning so we can get some time on them to kill.

The Shadow Odyssey - Avatar of War Dead!

Server first kill of Avatar of War! Grats Ultimmaa and Deblin on your server discoveries!

That is one bad ass helmet, it's going to be huge helping us progress through the content we have yet to beat! Charms that are set pieces, is pretty damn cool. So far I think we are the world wide #5 or #6 to defeat Avatar of War.

Avatar of War and The Tangrin!

We took down Avatar of War with an understaffed raid Yesterday afternoon, it was a long kill!

The Tangrin popped early in the morning. I just arrived home from last call at Skip's Tavern. My favorite bar in town, where the Tiffany the head Bar tender has a Pint of Yuengling ready for me every time I walk in to the bar.

Anyway, with a quite a few of us tipsy, we took the Great Ape down and had a nice 2 master, 2 item chest with everyone getting a split of over 2 plat.

So we're still #1.

Avatar of War & The Tangrin

It was a busy off night as both Avatar of War and The Tangrin popped with in a couple hours of each other, killed them both on first pull. Avatar of War dropped nothing spectacular an item that we've seen a half dozen times already, while The Tangrin dropped another Empowered Talon of Milyex.

It was all a Trixy (Cane of Trickery)!

So Avatar of War was up yesterday, we killed him #69 (woo) Avatar in a row. The Trixy Cane of Trickery dropped, which has the coolest game graphic (and some pretty cool abilities), other than the Inquisitor Mythical. I really like the item, in fact I bid on the item and won the item but after some officer discussion it was deemed more useful to another class and I was asked to rescind my bid. I wasn't happy about it at first I almost said no. But after promise of sexual favors, souls and the naming of a first born child I decided it was better for the raid as a whole. Maybe next time!

The Race of the (Protectors) Realm.

Raiding T8 is getting so f'in boring, to spice up raiding PR (which now drops masters from 71+ on Smart loot.) we decided to split the raid up to run two groups in each instance, we both finished under 20 minutes.

The raid that I was in lost the race, but not by much. I blame Crazzel for not getting the shard fast enough, plus Sequel went link dead which stalled us up a bit. We got 5 smart loot masters - Deblin got Dispatched, which the raid collectivly cheered. Two Vyx Crest lockets (which went for min dkp and one to alt) last week I paid max dkp because up until last week, a I think total of three dropped for us since the begining of the expansion. We all walked away with over 12 pp each and I think we fully equipped two mage alts!

Trakanon's a joke.

At one time Trak was one of my favorite instanced encounters, now he's a complete joke. Even becoming the hour glass I parsed 1.9k dps on him, I am sure I would have broken 2.2k if I didn't become the hourglass.

I am almost a master!

I am almost fully mastered out, I lack Smite Corruption a level 71 spell, if anyone has it I'll pay up to 40pp for it.

A little bit late but better than never... Ethereal Mist Gauntlets!!

I finally got them!

We killed three Avatars killed since my last post... Storms, War and Below... Nothing that great dropped from them. :(

Trakanon, Some Avatars and other stuff.

So, we 3 grouped Trakonon last night, no deaths, another mage belt dropped! Trakanon was by far one of my favorite fights, but he has become trivial as we've progressed. Trivial meaning, that with some common instanced drop gear and I can hit over 2k dps and I am sure I can hit over 3k with a few minor upgrades. It's too bad I have to wait 4 days between every test to see how I can improve. Last night I was solo-healing and curing my group so I had to sacrifice some of my dps, to group heal the softies. :)

Then we went off to Shard of Hate and I picked up a Ring of Rage to test out in my spell and melee dps set. The 10% bonus only effects one of my melee abilities and it doesn't bring it up 10% since in my melee DPS set +CA is near cap (~400). So Ring of Rage will be put in my Spell DPS set, simply to for the +4 crit and reduction of cast speed. GDI another week with out "Water Sprinklers". Gaige is right, I die a little bit inside each time the Gloves don't drop. We didn't finish the zone, mainly because we need somthing to do on our next raid day, as we'll still be locked out of everything.

War and Storms were up this week and both died shortly after they popped. War died just over the five minute mark and dropped another pair of Fur-lined Slippers of Al'Kabor which Pigul picked up, he's a tank chanter! Ultimmaa got a nice shiny pair of boots, the Lord Planeswalkers Boots.
