SNM and Wed night Guild LFR
Saturday night, we did a quick run through ICC for Snuffy to collect more Frostmourne shards (or whatever it is he's collecting) - it was fun as always, although I kind of feel sad about what an easy romp it is now. Even so, it is still a wonderfully designed place, and I always love being in there. Snuff needs probably 2 more runs through it to get what he needs, so I hope we can get that done for him on Friday or Saturday nights - it's the last legendary weapon the guild needs for the achievement! I was feeling punky after that was done, so I bailed, but I understand a group did the Siege of Orgrimmar LFR second wing after I logged off and had a very successful run.
Which leads me to last night's guild lfr (Wednesday night) - I decided doing the guild lfr earlier in the week would make it possible for people to bring their mains and get the best results, and I would say that turned out to be true. We had 16 of the 25 people, and had a very fun and efficient run of the Gates, only wiping once on Dark Shaman and once on Nazgrim. It helped that we had several people who had done it before, and could explain to the rest of us what to do, and that our firepower was boosted considerably by Carune and Joravic's presence, although several people (I can remember particularly Vanillapie, Shriker, and Ignacia as major damage dealers as well) did just great damage. I have to salute especially, though, our tanks Thanael and Jantuk, neither of whom had tanked it before, or even seen it at all before in Thanael's case - I just ambushed him when he logged on, unsuspectingly, to join us. They both did fabulous work, and as a result, instead of the wipefest I had previously experienced in that wing last week ( I zoned in on Dark Shaman when the group already had 8 stacks of determination - which means they had wiped 8 times already on that fight), it was a smooth and fun ride. We also, before the LFR, killed Nalak to help Kryptonia on that step of the legendary cloak quest.
I will keep scheduling guild LFR for Wednesday nights, since this worked pretty well, and we will do other fun stuff on Saturday - I was thinking of old raid achievements people might need, that we could knock off, and perhaps ICC if Snuff still needs to do it on that week. And we can do an alt LFR run if people want, as well - if people are still collecting secrets or runestones, I'd like to give them a good group to do that with.
