Yes, World of Warcraft, there are girls on the internets.

Screenshot... Um, What Day Is It Now?



It's been a busy week at Girl Meets WoW, not that you'd know it since I haven't stopped by to share anything. (Oops.) As you can see above, my raid has been working on Gurtogg Bloodboil, and we finally downed him Sunday night.

More accurately, they finally downed him Sunday night, as my main contribution was getting my mage the heck out of the way so that less squishy people could step in. Gurtogg is not a good fight for Firkin -- the raid takes tons of damage, and in the recurring phase two, everyone has a chance at being the tank.

Mages make very bad tanks.

So that puts us at 4/5 Hyjal, 5/9 BT, and in high spirits for moving on to Reliquary of Souls.

On the personal front, I've spent the last week and a half throwing my heart into a new freelance job, which has been cutting into my play and blogging time more than usual. So far it's been incredibly fun, which is a nice bonus on top of the whole paycheck thing. I promise I'll be writing more here though now that I've gotten into the swing of things, so thanks for bearing with me during the downtime.

Its funny how a fight like this sounds so simple when you read a strategy guide, but when you are actually there, the results can be heinous. LOL

A very hearty Congo-rats to you and your Guildies for dropping Gurtog. - We are still working on SSC, but we are doing well. Our pattern seems to be we wipe on a new boss that night and then the next night rolls around and we drop'em... usually a one-shot.

In short, all of the written strategies can prepare you for the fight, but you will never be ready until you actually experience it.

Great Job!

Bloodboil is such an ass, but we've begun to outgear people's bad ping or reaction times. Sometimes we try and stack Disc priests for pain suppression and he targets the same priest 3 times in a row. Y'know, just cause.

Our fury warrior has yet to get felraged after 15 kills on that doofus. He's been waiting the day to pop recklessness at 19% and go seriously hog wild.

Our best kill ever was having one of the rogues be the last one alive, pop evasion and solo the last 2%.

And yes, he always picks on our mages. They fearfully equip pvp gear and a prayer most times.

I've heard that he doesn't ever cast bloodboil on warriors. This may just be a rumor or it may actually be a bug of some sort. It would explain the fury warrior's 0 for 15 streak though.

Beardyhead & Bitolan - My guess would be that Warriors are purposely excluded from Bloodboil simply because (a.) They most likely have the means to be healed through it, but even more so, (b.) the sustained damage they would receive from Bloodboil would fill their Rage Bar faster than an Elephant could fill a human toilet. >_<

Hey did you do anything to flag your blog as game related. All of a sudden my work proxy blocks your blog as a computer gaming site.
