We almost got through all the available icc10 content in one single night. Only Professor Putricide still stands. Everything seemed extremely easy. Go team.

Before too long our 25 mans will feel the same way. DPS-ers keep working and perfecting your rotations. We need you all to be doing over 7k! If you have the gear for it but aren't performing, talk to someone. I know all the officers are more than willing to help. If we don't have the answers we can point you to someone that does. We want to see you succeed. :)

Raffle:

Up to 1350g! Send Fariena your numbers before 7pm today!

We could use a non-paladin tank so keep your eyes open for one that is skilled and would get along with everyone.

RE rules!

Guild Raffle:

Fariena is heading this up and it seems as though there is enough interest to get this going. If you have any questions about this, post in the thread or ask Fariena in-game.

Good news:

Quote from Wennettie: "So the Tuesday night team (10 man) was the 3rd guild on the server (132 in the world... THE WORLD) to down Festergut."

Our ICC25 was great as well this past Saturday since we one shot the first four bosses and are well on our way to figuring out Festergut. Kitare will lead us to an Arthas kill I have no doubt about that.

Bad news:

Alot of us will have to return to attending classes and will have to cut down on our play time. For me personally, I won't be able to attend raids on Tues and Thurs since I have early classes on Mon, Wed, Fri. You still may see me just about everyday during the afternoon, and I'll usually just suck it up on Sundays and lend my support to whatever is going on those nights.

It will be really important for us to cut down on no-shows since our usual readily available back-ups might not be around to pick up the slack. So please keep your sign-ups or lack thereof on the calendar current.

For those that have taken leave of the game that we miss (you know who you are), feel free to come back and help us kick some ass! As always, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns I'm your bitch.

- Thor out

We got down the first 4 bosses of ICC25 before the release of the 2nd wing so kudos to us! We are also supposedly one of only 18 or so guilds to accomplish this feat on the Argent Dawn server. Everybody high five Kitare for returning and being an on-fire raid leader despite being sick. Keep up the good work everybody and continue to have a blast.

Here is the World of Logs report: http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/rt-6ljigqyttr38qwmh/

Sacrates surveyed his small classroom, eyeing the expectant pupils. They had come to learn at the feet of a master, but while he was away, Sac was in charge.

"Listen up you Holy Paladins. There's only room for one of us in a raid, and that's me," Sacrates began. "But when I cannot make it, one of you will have to fill in and not make a total arse of yourself." The fledgling Holy Paladins gasped amongst themselves. To think that they could one day hope to replace Sacrates on a raid was nearly unthinkable to them now.

"First things first, who can tell me the absolute best spec for a Paladin?"

A tremulous hand was raised. "Holy?" asked a young Paladin.

"Right! Now say it with feeling, that was an easy one," Sacrates replied.

"Holy."

"No, with feeling, like you actually believed it instead of just telling me what I want to hear."

"Holy!"

"NO!" Sacrates glared at the youn Paladin.

"HOLY!!!!!!!!!!"

"Now you're getting there." Sacrates nodded his head slowly and paced at the front of the class. "Now, what is the best gem to put in a Yellow slot for a Holy Paladin? Pallyone?"

"Int?"

"Yes it is. Remember, with feeling."

"And what is the best gem to put in a Blue slot for a Holy Paladin? Pallytwo?"

"Intellect and MP5?"

"No! Forget that MP5, you're a Paladin. Intellect. Stack Intellect. And when you're done with that, stack some more Intellect. You live and die by your Intellect. What do you think you are, some puny Holy Priest who runs out of mana after 3 spells?"

Sacrates shook his head in disgust. The only thing worse than a Holy Priest going OOM halfway through the fight was a Paladin who didn't have enough Intellect. "With enough Intellect, you can outsmart a Rogue, see where they are going stealthed before they can even get there. Now here comes the tough one. If you do not have any Intellect gems and you need to put a gem in a Red slot, what do you put in there? Pallythree?"

"Umm... Spell Power?"

"Pallythree, please stand up and come to the front of the class." Pallythree comes to the front of the class. "Now turn away, because I want everyone to see you and what you can do." Pallythree turns around, beaming a smile at the class. "Class, this is what you too can become . . . if you don't stack enough Intellect!" Sacrates raises his big boot and kicks Pallythree in the butt. "A no good," Sacrates rails his boot on Pallythree's arse yet again, "Stupid Paladin!" Sacrates keeps kicking, a butt, a face, whatever part of Pallythree is open for kicking. "Intellect, Intellect, INTELLECT! There is no excuse to stack anything but Intellect! If you don't have a friggin' Yellow gem, you gring your butt off till you can afford one. Nothing is better than Intellect! You get mana, you get regen, you get Crit! Intellect is the holy manna for Paladins. Now get out of my sight till you've learned that one simple lesson. Till then, you aren't even fit to heal me up to full after I've come out of a successful raid instance."

The young Paladins all scramble up and run out of sight backwards. None of them want to catch Sac's wrath today. Sacrates sighs and lets them go. One arse-kicking should be enough for today.

Wonder of wonders - miracle of miracles -
God took up Sacrates once again,
Stood by his side and - miracle of miracles -
Walked him to his guild again!

Sacrates has been found! We were searching in the wrong place the entire time. Sacrates was not in ToC 10, not in ToC 25, but in H ToC 10. The raid group fell through the floor of the Colisseum, only to find Sacrates hanging out with Anub'arak.

As the raid rushed forward to greet Sacrates, he threw up his arms frantically trying to wave us away. But it was too late. Anub had seen us and rushed forward to engage in combat. In the middle of the fight, dozens of little mini-Anub's burst from the floor shouting, "Mommy! Mommy!" and rushing to Anub's aid.

At this sight, Sacrates unexplainedly fell to the ground, begging us to leave. At this awkward sight, the raid beat a hasty retreat to Dalaran, but not without casualties on both sides. As we left the caverns beneath the Colisseum, Sacrates was seen actually kissing one of the mini-Anub's on the head. The entire return trip, Sacrates's head hung low, and he was reputed to be muttering over and over, "What have I done? What have I done? I didn't mean it to end this way!"

Reckless Endeavor fought its way through H ToC 10-man again last night. We downed everything up to Anub, but ran out of time as we were learning the fight. Anub still stands, but she shall fall soon enough!

Quit crying, Sac!
