Epic Flying cont.

I got very lucky and got an epic shoulder to drop while I was doing the starting quests for The Sons of Hodir. I managed to sell the shoulders for 2,800G which brought my goal much closer. I should be able to reach 5,000G by the end of the week at the rate I'm going, then I'll have to spend about 1,500G more to buy my Epic Red Drake.

Currently 3500/5000G

Epic Flying

I currently am trying to get my epic flyer. I also have begun to notice that most of my guildmates have their's. I really havent spent any time saving up money for it and am starting to regret it. I am currently at 150/5000G so I hope to have The Right Stuff by the end of the month.

Bringing the C Game

Last night, we set out to finish the weekly 25 man Naxx run. We just had the Abomination Wing and the Sapp n Kel Wing left to do. Last night's run was not our best unfortunantly, it took 3 times to take Patchwerk down, 2 to kill Grobbulus, we one-shotted Gluth though. However, the trouble was mainly at Thaddius. On the first attempt, too many people died at the first polarity shift. On try number two, we had a couple DPS'rs die too early and Thad was at 5.1mil when he enraged. Try number three was our best with only 1% about 400k was left before he wiped the raid. Try #4 was a wipe. The GL decided to call it after that and we all reflected on how we could do better. We have had some great nights, but this unfortunantly was a off night for us. Unlucky for me, I'll have to wait a week to get 60 emblems for my T7.5 shoulders. I'm currently at 56 and just need 4 more. While reflecting on how we could have done better, I did think about how we did good also. We handled Gluth's puppy chow mobs pretty good and on our third Thad attempt, we managed to get him down to 1% even though a lot of DPS was down. It probably didn't help that I got screwed by the RNG that night (I counted 14 wrath spams to proc Eclipse, 8 of them were crits). On another note, we all decided to add the EPGPLoot2 addon to the raid required addons to try it out. If my personal opinion had a grading scale out of 1-10, the addon would be an 8/10. My only problem with it is that it will not let Druid's need on cloth drops. While I can see a reason to prohibit druids from bidding on cloth drops to leave some for the clothie classes, if Blizzard would add a load of leather gear for caster druids, there would be almost no arguement coming from me. Aside from that, I really like how the addon make being the master looter a lot easier. It also makes the raid go a lot faster.
