Yashima Plays

Last Friday I went to see Ulduar 10 for the second time with the guild. We didn’t proceed quite as fast as the last time. This time it really was an all guild run, so that counts for something and we still downed quite a few bosses – just too bad that Ignis downed us when he had only 20k life left. We gave up on him after half a dozen wipes.

Saturday I logged on planning on doing some achievements, maybe finish the remaining BC heroics. Instead I saw someone asking in our guild-friends channel wether we wanted to come and do Blackwing Lair … another achievement I was missing. So we joined a raid of about a dozen people and proceeded to pwn Nefarian. We even ported our – fresh 80 after 4.5 years of leveling – warlock who didn’t complete the BWL prequest

After Nefarian was down someone wanted to down Kael so we went to Outland and jumped into Tempest Keep. By now we were about 10 people left in the raid. Luckily the raid leader knew all the bosses and patiently explained to all us non-raiders what we had to do as he had done in BWL and would do the rest of the evening.

Kael was quickly downed another achievement done!

“So what do we do now?”
“I still have Magtheridon and Gruul open.”
“Oh those are fast, let’s go!”

Two raid instances later …. “How about Lady Vashj?”

We actually wiped once on her … it was still an interesting fight to do and with Level 80s far from trivial. I am glad we did all these raids and it was a very nice evening with friendly people from all over the server.

We made about 350 or 400 gold each and I got 5 raid achievements I was missing!

What I appreciated most was the patience of the raid leader and the explanations given without any hint of arrogance for those of us who wanted to see the old school raids now because we never had the chance to do so before!
