A cataclysmic event, - Mula

I've been reading the warrior forums, today, to try to figure out how to set up my gems. As I well knew, Armor Penetration was leaving us warriors. I should have planned in advance, and started re-gemming for strength. However, I got caught up with things, and why change something that is working perfectly well. So, got all the updates. Log in and take a look at my gear. ... All the armor penetration gems I had were surreptitiously turned into crit strike gems. ... Needless to say, I was a bit frustrated by the changes. It costs 150 a gem - give or take a few gold. The least that they could have done was to change the red armor penetration gems into red gems of some other sort. ... perhaps strength gems...or...well that's all I suppose.

As I was reading the forums, I got the general impression that I was not the only one who was displeased with the new changes. One warrior claimed that they used to do 17-20k dps and now they only did 9k. Others also reported a 35% reduction of damage. This disturbs me greatly. I had just finally been able to keep up with the ranged dps as far as damage dealt, and now this. I feel as if all the hard work I've put into getting to this point has been destroyed, and it doesn't help to know that no one has found a viable solution. I will continue to explore my options.

At this point I need to set up my glyphs, figure out whether my second spec will be dps for pvp or defense, and figure out what to do about all this extra crit strike that I have.

We finally did it! We killed the Lich King! It took us three weeks, but finally he is dead. Well, Arthas is dead. The Lich King still survives. But I believe that Arthas' replacement will not try to corrupt the world.

It is so good to finally be at peace. There is one more that I need to kill. He is hiding in Ulduar. Algalon the observer. I hear he's not an easy one to find. I have faith in my tribe. We will face him.

I'm new. -Zalanda

I be decidin' ta seek out ma destiny. Ma travels led me ta da valley of trials. Dere, I be meetin' some ver' nice Orcs. Dey be helpin' me learn some of da ways of da world an' be teachin' me da ways of da priest. I be wantin' ta be of da helpin'. I be tryin' ta gain da courage ta speak ta some of da udda bein's in da area, but I be not findin' da courage. Instead, I be helpin' who I coulda. I be completin' ma trainin', and they be sayin' dat I could be findin' more work in da south, wid ma fellow Trolls, and ta da Nordeast in da Orc settlemon. I be wishin' dem well an' be headin' down da road ta da Troll settlemon. Dere was a big mighty warchief mon down dere, an' he be gadderin' up de Troll recruits ta take back deir--our homelan'. I be havin' da fun gadderin' up de frogs an' flyin' aroun' on da bats an' trowin' da frog bombs at da islan's. Aftawards, da big troll boss be sayin' ta go up ta da Orc town an' 'e be wantin' me ta be gettin' 'im some of da trolls dat be hangin' around da Orc town. I be headin' up dere when I came across some of dem sailors dat da Orc mon be askin' me ta be killin'. I be killin' dem when I be seein' da marines dat da Orc mon also be askin' me ta be killin'. An' den I be noticin' dat da boss of dese sailor mons be in da buildin', an' I be knowin' dat dis mon was needin' to be killed too. I be takin' his key an' lookin' in his treasure box an' I be findin' dis letta. So, I be takin' da letta ta da Orc town, an' I be seein' if anyone be wantin' ta pay me for it. I be gadderin' up de jobs dat dese Orc mons be wantin' me ta do, but den I be gettin' tired, so I be findin' da Orc place ta be restin' ma bones.

Tougher than we thought, -by Mula

So, we were back. This time the group was very well geared...as was the last time we went in. We faced the Lich King, and I must admit, it was a tough fight. We made several attempts, but were unable to succeed. I can only proclaim my gratitude to my fellow raiders and guild members; they have been patient and are dedicated to helping me and Melikar obtain our title for killing the Lich King. I am much more comfortable with what I need to do and am much appreciative of the guidance that is given throughout the fight. I am certain that we will succeed. We got so close to beating him. But then he started summoning angry spirits, and he sent me into a different realm where I had to defeat some being or spirit of some sort, I beat it, but when I came around I found that I had died. We also had a couple of attempts that just ended up to bad luck. There was one time I got snatched up by a valkyre and dropped over the edge. Most of the other times I died by taking too much damage. And one time, after the leader said to wipe it, I just jumped off the side of the platform. :)

Flinttooth is doing well. He's got himself a pet to help him out on his hunt! He's growing stronger every day! I'm so proud of him. :)

50th post, and Mula's got a boyfriend! -Mula

Yes, you heard correctly. I've got a beau and his name is Flinttooth! He's a hunter, and while, at first, he thought I was taller than him, it turns out that it was only my armor that made me look larger than him. He is from one of the neighboring clans and was very helpful when the attacks happened. I only just found out recently that he survived and I rushed out to Mulgore the moment I heard. He's decided to venture out into the world and I couldn't be more proud of him!

Hello, Mr. Lich King, -Mula

Yes, indeed. Thanks to the guidance of Donazon (I hope I spelled his name right!), we were able to beat Sindragosa and meet the Lich King. We fought him a couple of times, but he kept beating us down. We actually did pretty well the second time, but then he brought out his valkyries and causing the defile to get really big. I had trouble with getting away from the group when he put defile on me. I personally have no way of sprinting out of the way, and I tend to move slower than the other races. I have decided to start moving out sooner, when I see that he's about to cast it, just to make sure that I don't mess things up for the rest of the group.

Honestly, I'm just glad we were able to kill Sindragosa. And I will review the documented fights again, just to make sure that there is nothing I'm missing. Actually, I was trying to see if Totalbiscuit had put anything up about experience with the Lich King, but it seems that he has been posting things of future events. I find these posts intriguing, but as far as when they will occur is another story indeed.

A little less aggrivation a little more action please, -Mula

And by that I mean, I gotta stop pulling mooks off the tank. Just got through a round at Icecrown citadel, and I found that I was behaving more like a noob then a professional. But what can you do? It's been eons since I've fought Sindragosa. And the last time I did fight her, it was with 24 other people. I was catching on after a while, though. I just hope they don't hate me forever for being such a 'tard.

Unfortunately, we didn't get past her this time around. I guess they usually try to finish things up on Mondays, so we'll see. I fear that we don't have enough damage goin' against her, and I've only just figured out the debuffs in the last phase. Learnin' from mistakes is the key. And patience. Let's hope.
