Currently I have the new patch update happening and I will be updating all my addons through curse as soon as I arrive home after work today.

It will be a little weird logging back into wow after such a long break and with a patch that has come out, will have to see if it all comes back.

hopefully the gear I need to get up to raiding status wont take too much time and I think I plan on focusing in raiding rather then building the guild into a raid guild. unfortunately this mean I will be spending a great deal of time scanning trade for raids, unless this new raid finder works out to be successful. (although I doubt it will be working right in the first version.)

Warcraft Sabbatical

As you can tell I have not been on World of Warcraft for a while and I am probibly going to be absent for a while.
this is mostly due to the lack of time I have to dedicate to a game that requires so much time.
I have been spending a great deale of my time with my new daughter Caeli and playing minecraft as I can simple get up and walk away from minecraft if I am needed. Raiding requires more dedication
in my absence please contact Neil or Mark for information or assistance in the guild as they have some power to do what is required.
Failing that you can contact myself or Lena through the Dragonsbreath facebook page
I intend to be connected via ventrilo while I am at home so you can also contact me there, and I will also start using skype as a way to keep in touch and available

These are the Two locations I know of so far for when everyone else drops

Getting prepared

Ok so I am hoping to get a run on Baradin hold going later this week so I thought it would be proactive to find out about the encounter's first boss.

This is going to be a fight that will let us quickly know if we have the gear required for raiding in Cata


the first boss is called Argaloth.

Meteor Slash and Fel Firestorm are his major abilities

basic strategy is that we need to split the raid into two even groups. one on his left and one on his right. this is because of the Meteor Slash. Meteor Slash does a cone of damage in front of him that speads the damage out on everyone it hits.

so tanks will take turns in pulling agro so that he will hit left, right left, etc.


Now, every third of his health (so at 66% and 33%), he'll begin to channel Fel Firestorm. When this happens, spread out immediately. he will throw fire balls that light the ground on fire are your feat. so move in a way that you dont trap yourself behind walls of fire.


Tank spot has a nice raid guide on it with a video so you can see the encounter if you want to.  the more research about the fight the better prepared we will be so please take the time to watch the fight at least once.

Also if you would like to you can look into the tank spot guide to Occu'thar at the same time incase we get Argaloth down http://www.tankspot.com/showthread.php?72545-TankSpot-s-Guide-to-Argaloth

Remember there is no presure and this is just a first attempt to really see who is keen and who is ready.

Let the Raiding begin!!!

Big achievement for guild last night. We had a nice smooth run on Obsidian Sanctum - 3 Drakes up

It is nice to see a good amount of regular player's online now.

And today we were able to power through a Vaults of Archadon and a Onxyia's Lair.

Later in the week my plans are to schedule a run through Ulduar, Trials of the champion or an Icream Citadel.  I will have something on the calendar for it so keep an eye out.

I will also have a run for the Obsidian Sanctum 3D going again for the next person to get the mount.

still working on holy priest

After seeing a lot of DK's online the last two days in the guild I have decided that I need to start focusing on getting my Priest back to my main. and also to bring my Druid upto 85 and start gearing her.

I am going to continue running Sanationem through regular cata instances, "hopefully with guild runs" and start collecting gear I can use for healing.  the reforged dps gear I had that wasn't good to start with isn't cutting it.

70k mana pool isn't enough and constanty drinking water to survive. lucky i have had good tanks so far that haven't complained yet.  I guess I am not doing heroics where most of the elitest jerks hang out.

Zathi is still sitting on level 82' I need to get this sorted as She is a much better healer then Sana

last note is we are still slowly leveling the guild and getting close to level 10. I am still continuing to recruit members and I am in the process of cleaning out the guild bank. so much junk in there that needed to be vendor'd or AH's - plus when did blizzard add the stacking of cut gems. so much space was wasted on single gem stacks

Everything is looking good, we are having more member join and filling the ranks.  thanks all who have been putting in the work.

we will start running guild random reg, heroics, z'andoms and soon some Raiding.

also looking good for the level of the guild. we are getting through level 9 nicely.  also looking to be able to pick up the next bank tab soon.

I think I will have to get a guild member to sort out the bank as it needs an awesome clean up.
