WoW: Midnight

Raiding the Voidspire – Week 16

Sunday started with Rotmire Heroic and Beloren Heroic, then we worked on L’ura (to get AOTC done). 16 wipes, saw P3 twice – best at 20%. Not bad! (Although the raidwide buff seems to be at 10% already and we’re overgeared, as usual.)

Tuesday we were 11 and managed to kill L’ura on the 9th pull (34th overall) – thus Season 1 on Heroic is done for us.

Raiding the Voidspire – Week 15

On Sunday we were exactly 10 and did Rotmire on Normal and Heroic, then the majority voted to stop and not continue today because it’s still very hot. Understandable, but it sucks. We’ve still got 3 bosses to kill.

On Tuesday we had 12 in a good comp and after Paladins on the second pull we actually managed to get Crown Heroic down relatively smoothly on the 4th pull of the night (32nd overall) and then Belo’ren also on the 4th pull (21 overall) – which seemed suspiciously good progress, not sure if there were nerfs or the Folio is just that good.

After that some 9 L’ura pulls (once to Intermission) and I’m a little happier now.

AOTC, but a weird one

Some M+ progress and stats

Today the weather was finally a bit less horrible (read: cooler) and we got to do some M+. After a first pretty bad try at Windrunner Spire +14 with too many deaths we luckily had a 2nd key and timed it without problems, which in turn gave us Resilient 14. With 1 15 timed (skyreach)… still some way to go for 3400 (this is ~3200 now).

And then I got my last missing key on my Paladin, a Magister’s Terrace 10, and now I have timed all dungeons on at least on every tank this season:

These are sorted by RIO, so a bit random: Warrior main at 3197, Paladin at 2791, Brewmaster at 2754, Vengeance DH at 2727, Guardian Druid at 2663, Blood DK at 2661.

Yes, that’s 48 keys without taking any repetitions into account, but I didn’t actually “not” time so many on the alts (or do below 10s):

  • Paladin: 1x +2, 1 untimed +10
  • Brew: 1x +9, 9 extra +10s, 1 x +11, 1 untimed +12
  • VDH: 8 extra +10s, 2 untimed +9, 3 untimed +10, 7x +2 to +9
  • Guardian: 1x untimed 10, 1x extra timed 10
  • BDK: 8x +2 to +9, 2x extra +10, 1 untimed +8, 1 extra +11

So that’s another 39 timed and 9 untimed keys… not counting my main (80 in total, 67 timed). With 13 weeks that’s a whopping 10 keys per week. Ouch

Raiding the Voidspire – Week 14

I’m back and we even had 10-12 people, yay.

Sunday: Rotmire Normal (first try), then Rotmire Heroic (4 wipes), then on to Voidspire, this time with the skip (so 2 down, then 6 wipes on Crown).

Tuesday unfortunately was canceled.

Due to the heat and other stuff we didn’t continue with M+ this week either 🙁

In some downtime I have leveled a Haranir Druid to 50 for the Heritage Armor over the last couple weeks. Unless I lost track and forgot to do one at some point… that means I should have all of them, but I might go double checking at some point.

I have every class except Evoker at 90 (pre 12.0.7), and now a second Rogue as of the weekend. Started the Evoker but it’s just not fun for me. Will try to use the Follow the Arrow addon again and just do it bit by bit.

Raiding the Voidspire – Week 12 & 13

I was on vacation but apparently there was some Voidspire raiding in Week 12 (4 down, then wipes on Vanguard).

Week 13 was 5 down in Voidspire, then 5 Crown wipes.

Only 2 out of 4 raids happened, which kinda sucks. First 2 weeks I missed as a tank and meh.

Seems I forgot to post about M+.

We’re at ~3180 rating, missing one for Resil 14, having timed one 15. I finished my “tank all 10s” quest on Brewmaster and Blood DK, the Vengeance Demon Hunter is missing 1 and the Guardian is missing 3. The Protection Paladin has not tanked anything close to a 10, or no M+ at all, not sure at this point.

Raiding the Voidspire – Week 9

Sunday was the usual Heroic Dreamrift, then Voidspire reclear. Had some problems on dragons, but got at least some tries in for Paladins, now at 14 wipes and 30% or so. Really hoping we’re just extending when we have them down.

Tuesday we killed the Vanguard on the 16th pull (30 overall or so) then looked at Crown of the Cosmos on Heroic. 6 wipes, not a lot of progress – but we’re 6/9 now.

This was the week where we got the Voidcores to upgrade our stuff by 10 levels – and we had a public holiday with bad weather on Thursday, so I got to grinding. First I upgraded my main’s weapon to 298, then (because I was lucky enough to bonus roll a Mythic 2h in my first +10) I did the same for my Brewmaster Monk, and then I also bonus rolled a Mythic 2h on my Blood DK, so that also went to 298. The Vengeance Demon Hunter already had one Mythic weapon from the Vault, and also bonus rolled a 2nd one (it starts to sound unrealistic), so 10 Voidcores later she’s dualwielding 298 weapons as well. I have now successfully tanked (and timed) a +10 (or higher) on 4 different tanks (Warrior, DH, DK, Monk) and at least tanked one +2 on my Paladin. Only the Druid missing (sitting at 250, should be enough for a low key). So the goal is definitely to tank at least a couple +10s on every tank class this season.

The gearing is kinda weird anyway this season. The moment I hit the “all slots to 276” achievement (aka 6/6 Heroic) on my main, I could use my saved up Hero Crests on some alts. That was late last week and now I have 5 alts at 272 and higher, nearly surpassing my main on the BDK. The Shaman has not seen a single M+ or raid higher than LFR and yet has only 1 slot missing to full 276 Heroic Gear.

Raiding the Voidspire – Week 8

On Sunday we did the current routine of Chimaerus Heroic (still 1 wipe), then March on Normal, then the first 3 in Voidspire (no wipes) and then a 2nd kill of the dragons on the sixth pull.

Tuesday people apparently didn’t want to go wiping so we did a full normal reclear of the remaining 7 bosses, boo.

In M+ we managed to get all dungeons except Windrunner Spire to 12 (and a 13 Pit of Saron), so close to resilient keys.

Raiding the Voidspire – Week 7

On Sunday it was time for Chimaerus again, first Heroic (3 wipes, ugh), then Normal. Then a quick visit to March Normal and then a reclear of the first 3 in Voidspire on Heroic. So that’s 4 for the Vault already, but now wipes on Dragons on the program for Tuesday.

The Dragons actually died, around pull 21 (7 wipes today), although we only had 10 people. Then we got some 10 tries in on Lightblinded Vanguard, none better than 76% and I messed up quite a few tank swaps. In my defense the addons seemed to show really weird timings and I had to fiddle with settings between tries.

For M+, we timed a 12 and a 13 this week after getting all 8 portals last week (on Warrior). I’ve also tanked a few 10s (and one 11) on my DH and I’ve done a couple 6-8s on my Blood DK. Season of the tank I guess.
