The next time you fight Razorscale…

Play this. (No need to watch, just a static image.)

If you try to deny that that is one of the most fantastic pieces of Boss music in gaming history, I… well… there’s just no helping you, ok?

And speaking of Razorscale..!

A Quick Shave

Popped onto Ellaria tonight, just to check and see of the Razormaw Matriarch was up – I want a raptor for her, too! – and I asked my guild how raiding was going, since I haven’t really been keeping up with their progress (sorry guys!)

Kyp: Actually, we’re one DPS short for Ulduar tonight…
Me: Orly? –whistles nonchalantly-
Kyp invites you to join a group.

Bwahah. Since it was the last night before the reset, they’d already done a number of Bosses in the place. First we did Razorscale, as you can see above, and then moved onto Auriaya, who I’d never fought before. We wiped the first time, but beat her with ease the second time. Unfortunately, the crazy lady didn’t drop the shoulders I’d have liked. Bah!

Auriaya Down

Now all I’m missing from the Antechamber is the Iron Council… maybe one day. We attempted Freya after that, but, I dunno, Freya is just one massive drug trip. QUICK, HIDE UNDER THE MUSHROOMS, NO, NOT THE SMALL ONES, THE BIG ONES, AND OMG THERE’S A HEALING TREE, KILL IT, NOW A GIANT PLANT AND SOME ELEMENTALS HAVE SPAWNED WHAT THE HELL’S GOING ON OH WE’RE DEAD. I believe they’ve downed her before, but a couple of the DPS were having latency issues, plus me and another person had never done the fight, so we were destroyed.

Freya Wipe 

And for Stop – Look! It’s a genuine, honest to Eonar, Female Dwarf!

Female Dwarf!

After that, I gave the new 5 man instance a try for the first time – me and Kazura had actually joined a party for it a few nights ago, but it didn’t go anywhere at all. We tried again tonight, and I was healing… Man, that place is rather hard to heal. The last boss is insane. He ate our faces first attempt, and second attempt it was very close. I kind of just hit chain heal over and over, hoping people wouldn’t die. For a 5 man, that is absolutely ridiculous. (Still not as bad as HC Old Kingdom. HATEHATEHATE.)

Mostly thanks to the free emblems on the mini-bosses before Freya, I had enough to get a delicious set of leg armour. Mmm, finally “naturally” at the spell hit cap. Course, I don’t raid much, but damnit, it’s the principle of the thing.

And why yes, yes I am totally on a WoW kick again now that I’ve got plenty of free time and nothing to do with it. What’s your point?
