WoW

Sunday was 3 Normal, then 3 Heroic, then 6 wipes on Lockenstock and finally a kill, so 23rd pull. Nice.

Tuesday saw us killing Stix (24th pull total) then 11 wipes on One-Armed Bandit. That will be hard.

Sunday had us do the 3 on normal with the skip, then the first 3 on Heroic, then a couple of wipes on Stix (up to around 15 probably). Tuesday we switched to Lockenstock and wiped 16 times.

One of those weeks I managed to get to 2000 M+ rating, now we’re working on 2500, but slowly.
I’ve also continued leveling chars, Orc Rogue, Blood Elf Warlock, and the Alliance Evoker. With these 3 done I’d be at 20 Level 80s.

Sunday had us short a couple people, but at least we were 10 with the right composition, so we cleared Normal in 1:50h and called it a little early.

Tuesday had us kill the first 3 on Heroic without problems, and then our best try on Stix, 1 or 2%, but no kill.

I did manage to finish those 8 M+ (one of each) and got to 1500 rating in the progress, so 2000 for the mount shouldn’t be a big problem now. So that’s 3 Vault boxes ticked for M+, then 3 for the raid, and then I apparently did enough +8s to also have those 3. Bit much this week but eh, weather is still bad.

On the weekend I somehow got the idea that I might want to play an Alt after all and so I spent some hours to get my Resto Shaman up in iLvl from 597ish, as apparently people expect you to be over 620ish to do M0 now. And then I queued for 2×2 bosses in LFR after our raid to get exactly zero pieces of loot.

Last Sunday we managed to clear and kill the first boss on Heroic, then continued with Heroic on Tuesday. Second boss (arena) on the 5th pull, third boss (Rik) on the third pull, then five wipes on Stix. Not too bad.

Today that one regular M+ team of our raid was lacking their 5th, so I was invited and we timed a +6 Theater, my +5 Motherlode and then nearly made a +8 Priory, finishign with a quick +2 Mechagon. As usual in some late-ish week I’m grabbed for the ride, get a quick mechanics intro and we time some key, at least in this case I’d known most of the dungeons already (minus the new changes or M+ vs Heroic).
Horde Hunter is nearly 80, and I’m iLvl 645 on my main, which was a nice boost today. Still haven’t tried +11 Delves for the gilded Crests, but I’ve already done 4 Tier 8 ones for the vault.

Yeah that was a little weird. When we knew the new patch with the new raid was coming I posted in our guild Discord and asked about the raid start, got no answer, so I stayed unsubscribed. Then on Sunday, 1h before the raid someone noticed I wasn’t signed up and by chance I saw it half an hour later, while busy with dinner. And then I actually managed to finish dinner, subscribe, patch up, get my addons in order and hit the instance portal on the minute and wasn’t even the last person.

Anyway, week one we managed to get 7/8 normal and then the second week we got to 7/8 on the first day and then killed Gallywix and also the first boss on Heroic on Tuesday. I’m the lowest item level player in the raid, so I guess I should get a bit of gear. Had a vacation day today though so I managed to run some Delves and get some pieces, now I’m maybe only the second lowest item level.

I briefly wrote about Timewalking in December, I had gotten a couple chars to max level, and my Horde Hunter to 74, Horde Monk to 76ish, Horde DK to 75 and Horde Priest to 71 – I played the Monk for a bit, so she’s 80 now as well. That makes 15 max level chars (no Evoker, 2 Warriors, 2 Paladins, 2 Monks)

Forgot a few updates it seems.

Anyway, today we killed the Queen on pull #84 (third today) and taking a break for a month until the next tier comes out – unless we can get enough together on Sunday for a rekill.

Sunday was a rare day I missed, they cleared 5 bosses

Tuesday was low attendance, 5 wipes on Ovi’nax before the rekill, then 10 wipes on the Silken Court, but the best try was 5.8% – this should work out.

Haven’t really logged in otherwise these last 2 weeks – December is just too busy and I was sick.

Sunday was a casual stroll through the first four bosses (maybe only one shots for the first time?), then one wipe on Ky’veza and an Ovi’nax rekill on the 6th pull.

Tuesday had us wipe on the Silken Court all night, 13 times to be exact. Best try 21%. It’s hard, but doesn’t feel as terrible as Ovi’nax did.

I’ve been slowly working on some alts via Timewalking and, to no one’s surprise, scaling is ultra-broken. If you have a 70 in not-terrible but at-launch 370ish gear you will simply be destroyed by the bosses whereas a 3x or 1x tank will hardly notice any hits.

Sunday saw us breeze through boss 1-4, then 3 wipes on Ky’veza, and on to Ovi’nax (again). Five wipes with 21% being the best try of the night.

Tuesday had us down one healer and getting a replacement (our top DPS…), 4 healers, 2 tanks, 7 DPS is a weird combo but Ovi’nax died on the fifth pull of the night. 50 wipes, 1 kill – for boss 5 or 6 out of 8 – yikes.

We continued on to the Silken court and wiped ten times, but already got to stage 3 a couple times, best try at 16% – not bad!

Unfortunately that one week I did M+ wasn’t continuing, also due to lack of time. My Warrior is at iLvl 617 now and there are not many upgrades from the Heroic raid, hardly any good ones at all.

But I already have 3 Horde chars at 80, and two more at 7x, maybe this week I’ll have some time for Timewalking and other leveling things again. Only class missing at 80 is the Evoker now (ugh) and I have two Warriors, and missing an Alliance Mage.

Oh wow, progress!

Sunday had us kill Ky’veza on the third pull already, so that was five bosses on one night, and two wipes on Ovi’nax.

Tuesday was just Ovi’nax wipes, 12 to be exact, with 8% and 14% being the most promising. I think we’re close to 40 wipes on total already, not our greatest strength it seems.
