Monday and Tuesday
Monday we made our final attempt for this cycle on Nef. It was pretty much just a wipe-fest, but we experimented with a couple of different approaches and got our kill count up. We didn't make it to phase 2, but this week we'll be fully buffed with flasks and such before we try it again. Everyone is pretty optimistic that we'll manage to beat BWL before the end of the week.
Afterwards I made another UD Strat run to gather more Crypt Fiend Parts and Bone Fragments for the Talisman of Ascendence. I'm more than a third of the way there, which is good progress all things considered. I'm thinking of changing my approach to gaining tokens completely though -- the best use of my time may be to just FISH. If I can find a spot where I can get Stonescale Eel for the guild and spare cash, and pick up either Lightning Eels or Plated Armorfish for quest turnins, I'll probably progress a lot quicker while also making more gold and contributing to raid progress.
Tuesday the instances reset, so we started anew on Blackwing Lair. We killed Razorgore without any trouble. We wiped twice on Vael before killing him -- I managed to pull aggro both times, but I'm hoping that the wipes weren't my fault, per se; I was healing the low fire resistance group so my aggro was high. First wipe the main tank died immediately, so that was bad healing. Second wipe the secondary tank didn't have enough aggro to handle his transition because he wasn't using his aggro generating abilities soon enough. The third try I was moved to a slightly more hardy group and the tanks built tons of aggro, so it was clear sailing.
Even though we were moving slow and it was late we managed to run through the Suppression Rooms and one-shot Broodlord. I picked up the Head of the Broodlord for the Only One May Rise quest chain and turned it in, so now I've got another reputation grind in front of me -- the bugs of Silithus!
This development may actually turn out pretty well for me... I can grind the bugs in Silithus (which drop pieces for Brood of Nozdormu rep) while doing the Combat and Tactical Quests (Cenarion Circle Rep) and slowly accumulating gold (to buy pieces for Argent Dawn rewards). It's a little known secret that the Silithid Hives have pools of water in them, so you can actually fish in the desert wasteland of Silithus!
