New Experience
I like to learn and experience new things, but at the same time I am a cautious and conservative person. So it’s handy to have someone around who will cajole me into doing something I never thought I was ready for. We have a player in our guild who claims to be able to get lost in a straight hallway, but by following her we are guaranteed to either come to a tragic death or find something amazing. It is the latter that we have dubbed the “omgwtfawesome!” place.
That’s what we found last night. After a quick run through Heroic Culling of Stratholme, I went to make dinner, and a few of my guildies went to Wintergrasp to try to win it for the Horde. When I logged back on I was immediately jumped on by two of them to join them for 25-man Vault of Archavon, which I had never dreamed I was ready for.
Not only was I ready, I somehow managed to top the DPS chart (actually, on my own Recount I had myself in 3rd, but two others had me at the top, so I choose to believe them :)). As it turns out, Vault of Archavon is pretty much just a DPS race between the Raid and the boss, and with only three trash pulls before getting to him. To be honest, the two tanks have to be good at what they do, and the healers have to be on top of their game since there can be some pretty heavy spike damage, but there really aren’t any tricks to this fight. If you don’t have him down in 5 minutes you’re going to wipe, so this is always a fast fight one way or the other.
Unfortunately, I lost out on the gear drops (2 items that would have been good), but I got my first Emblem of Valor…and that ain’t nothing!
