We are so on a roll it's unreal. Not just a few weeks after entering the Tower we're off to meet the Curator.
Actually we "did" the Trophy room very quickly, in fact too quickly and I missed it when I was on the road, and as it appears that I am the only one capable of taking screenshots, the full glory and excitement of our Trophy Victory is lost in the annuls of "yeh, been there, seen it, done it, got the T-Shirt, got paint on the T-Shirt, started using the T-Shirt to polish the car, etc"
Anyway, on with the show, but first, before I start, I must register some concern about our tanks and chanters.
Well, er, I don't know what to say, probably best that I don't!
I thought this time around that I'd give you a little insight into how are raids are "run"/"operated"/"happen" with Dane leading, so I've a bunch of quotes to share, with obligatory screenshots.
We were all camping at the Tower door, usual spot really, but a little unnerving for those around..
Amatra says, 'quite a gathering!,'
Blackjaw says, 'crowd control O.o'
Halmosi says, 'Bite me, kitty. :)'
Fluggy says, 'we heard there was free food'
Rominique says, 'some 1 said theyre b beer'
Dabeach says, 'come on the RKIII mgbs WoT, i know ye have em'
Cistinne says, 'beer? I'm here for the limbo contest...
The problem with beer on raids can be summarised nicely listening to a few of our dangerous members..
Taxman pees.
Glymmershad fartsssss.
Amatra says, 'stop loitering you lot! this a loitering free zone!.'
Glamlocw begins to cast unfold portaloo.
Glamlocw enters portaloo , some strange sounds and odours emmit from it.
Lanadenae summed it up..
Lanadenae starts looking for a less infantile guild.
We have good control with our raid approach, we know our target and where we're heading:
Danelgar tells the raid, 'ok peeps, looks like we're ready to party'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Zone up. Get small. Head to Trophy room'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Stasis .......'
Well, he's a druid, enough said. Int is a dump stat.
Raid stategy was incoming:
Danelgar tells the raid, 'I hope all tank types rolled a druid tor necro this weekend and went to practice some kiting ;-)'
....
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Finally we take Curator down'
(He didn't know how right he would be)
Danelgar tells the raid, 'That's it. Easy on paper'
Yes, easy on paper.. on paper, like paper tanks.
The chanters were confident:
Love that confidence!
As you may remember from our first Mindshear approach, we're a brave lot, sometimes too brave.
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Let's have a countdown pls tanks'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Go go go'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'SWITCH'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'EVAC'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Get safe if you can'
Yes, well, you know, Sundays are always tough, Roast Dinners, glasses of wine, wrong mobs, it all adds up.
In we go again..
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Right, round 2 ... ding ding'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Countdown pls tanks'
Pixtt Curator of Discord shouts 'I see that you are back again. You will not have as easy a time this time.'
Not this time, either!
Danelgar tells the raid, 'SWITCH'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Kill spawn'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Nice and steady peeps
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Final 2 next '
Danelgar tells the raid, 'TRIGGER'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'KITE Flash'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Nice, keep going'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'NExt is Lanys and FV and Curator'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'TRIGGER'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'They'll pop in a sec ...'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'That's it'
No it wasn't..
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Get safe if you can'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'EVAC'
Get safe means killing Rennia..
Sweet, sweet screenshot
Time to try again, Dane did a "final tweak", cough, whatever that means!
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Final tweak .....'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Let's do it to it. Countdown pls tanks'
Pixtt Curator of Discord shouts 'I see that you are back again. You will not have as easy a time this time.'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'SWITCH'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'SWITCH'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Keep it going. Doing well'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'SWITCH'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'SWITCH'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Kite Flash'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Keep kiting'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Keep the kiters up
Danelgar tells the raid, 'More healing on the kiters. All healers pls. We're losing too many'
But...
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Get safe if you can pls'
Dane comes up with a new strategy.. a winning one some might say.
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Let's have a smooth run to Curator pls. Followed by a flawless burn. And a steady beat-down of Curator for the win'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'That's all I ask. So not much really ;-)'
This approach seemed to work a lot better:
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Countdown pls tanks'
Pixtt Curator of Discord shouts 'I see that you are back again. You will not have as easy a time this time.'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'TRIGGER
Danelgar tells the raid, 'SWITCH'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'kill him'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Kite Flash'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Keep kiting'
Danelgar tells the raid, '30 secs to Curator'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Max focus peeps'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Evac if you can'
Of course, we are progressing things you know, we're down to 19%
Getting there!
It was time to truly focus, all those people that were actually watching TV came back, wizards came back from AFK, the usual kind of thing..
A revised strategy - GUILT! (Always a winner)
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Let's get it right this time pls. That last attempt would easily have been a win'
Danelgar tells the raid, '<< STRAT CHANGE >>'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Last attempt of the night folks'
Danelgar tells the raid, 'We can win this!! Last run was smoother than a really smooth thing'
He's going to die... oh wait, he's on 0% - argh
0% is a win right, evac and go home?
A few encouraging words..
Danelgar tells the raid, '>>> MAX DPS - BURN BURN BURN '
Danelgar tells the raid, '>>> MAX DPS - BURN BURN BURN '
Danelgar tells the raid, '>>> MAX DPS - BURN BURN BURN '
It always makes me wonder this, what are people doing that requires the RL to remind us to DPS? /duck
Suddenly, we wiped on 0%
Danelgar tells the raid, 'Holy Crap!! We did it!!!'
Oh wait, dead mob, we won!!!
Congratulations NC, we ROCK ROCK ROCK!
