We meet again after,

so long... yeah is like almost a year and 5months from my last post explaining that my guild at that time Wad De Kao pushing towards Sunwell Plateau. Since then Wad De Kao has stop raiding after few kills on Kalecgos, mostly due to core raiders focusing their real life more then the game.

I've since then move on to US-Nagrand to join up with Unrated, after awhile they too stop raiding after killing Eredar Twins.

I've make my move once again finding out that most of the core raiders at Unrated are undecided to commit on competitive raiding environment again once Wrath of the Lich King (the current World of Warcraft Expansion) comes out. I've spoken to the GM about me moving again, he then wished me all the best.

US-Frostmourne is where I'm located at now, and joined up with Shidavéré. A guild that made up mostly of Singaporean, Malaysian and Australian. They have been around since vanilla World of Warcraft and have since been one of the top Horde guild in the server.

My 1st few weeks there we're not exactly what I was expecting my roles would be, in the end it turn out well. I'm one of the core raiders now on the current raiding roster.

As much as I've dislike being Feral on vanilla World of Warcraft and then early part of The Burning Crusade. Since then my roles as a Feral has changed a lot, from a Bear tank to a Cat DPS.

Ill post more on my adventures so far and the people I've meet IF time permits... L O L

Till then Cat DPS are not complicated... XD

Waiting for Sunwell Plateau.

Eagerly waiting to open out account at Sunwell Plateau (SWP), we've been busy farming Illidan and Archimonde for the pass 2 weeks. Hopefully we're are able to mount up for the challenges ahead.

In the mean time I'm currently 5/8 Tier 6, very happy druid indeed XD. Not much of a bragging rights, but sure an added bonus. Can't wait to get the other tier pieces from SWP. Hope we are able to get Kalecgos the 1st boss in SWP down with in 1-2 weeks time.

Are you ready?

Game over... for the mean time...

Illidan finally downed, massive cheer over vent server. On top of that everyone was dead when he was at 1% health, Khooman a.k.a Dave ankh up and dealt one more final damage blow to him only to die in his hand again.

**Dave the Man of the Match**

Just as about when we all thinking we're going for another round at him, suddenly Illidan starting to bend down and submit his defeat to us!!! Guess who help us on our 1st kill, your's truly Maiev Shadowsong. What a fitting end to our journey to Black Temple as well as for Maiev, I guess this kill is more RP then any other guild kills I've seen. I should have fucking Fraps this kill but then I chicken out cause of what happen last week when my computer failed on me when I was Fraping our attempts on him. Oh well for our eyes only I guess!!! WHERE WE'RE YOU WHEN WE KEEL HIM HUH!!!111 lol. Miss out on the screen shot as well with everyone dead and Illidan submitting defeat to us, Hunza a.k.a Loafer probably have it. Go to Wad De Kao for more screen shots.

**NPC > WDK lol, much <3**

It was our best try on the night as well, we got panic when we hit phase 4 and as usual as it's our 1st time into that phase. We finally figured out what we messed up last week and got the shit sorted out on phase 3. Grats to all the loot winners (Illidan FTK), Next time we will be prepared, now the race to kill Kil'jaeden for us before WoTLK...

**Game over for now... Sunwell Plateau incoming maybe...***

3 Months 13th Days Later...

We are finally at Illidan, after a month lost because of people leaving/quiting the game. We we're busy recruiting and mounting up challenges in the Black Temple week in week out. We finally break away from the cock blocker Reliquary of Souls which has been troubling us for a month or so. We one shot Mother Shahraz on our 1st attempt and within a week itself we gotten rid of Illidari Council.

Tonight is where all the hard works come down on how badly we want Illidan killed, as the saying goes "You Are Not Prepared!" we shall see how it goes tonight.

WDK 1st kill on Illidari Council:-
WDKvsIC

2 Weeks Later...

The T6 2/5 set bonus was a blast. On single tanking mobs such as those big ass dudes in Black Temple or Mount Hyjal, no one can get it off you unless you're lagging. Tanking boss as well, had a run last week on Supremus all the melee died and I have to solo tank him. Was agitated, wasn't happy at all other then the fact that the amount of threat I generated with the set bonus every time the Mangle hit.

So glad we get through it, I need to check the log and see what went wrong again. Grimmer must be swearing on my virtual grave again, "sorry man" lol XD. Our progression came to a halt again, this time not by lack of players available for us to bring to raid. BUT the fucking Malaysia "best" ISP that is fucking up almost 80-90% of the core raiders, when there is a huge latency spike = no raid.

Seriously, this is not a third world country anymore sir. Where is the service you promise that you will provide? Fucking retards, might as well we use back the good old dial up connection. I bet we can have better latency then now.

So, I've been given the mandate to spec Feral Combat and help the raid again. Until then I'm quite happy on the role given. I might not be a "Lunge"' or a "Nxz" but I can be something else, trying to prove my doubters wrong on each raid I join. Which so far... has been quite... ok XD.

Hey, where are those posts!!!???

Yes is been awhile again, stuck with real life issues. OK going to push that aside, won my 2nd piece of Tier 6 set Thunderheart Cover. The 2-piece set bonus is awesome for single target tanking, but I haven't have the chance to fully test it. Hopefully tonight I would have the opportunity to do so because for single target threat generation is the best at the moment.

Is been awhile since I was ask to stay in one talent spec for a long time, other then Restoration. Staying in Feral Combat at this moment I would say it have improve my awareness in combat, i.e picking mobs off others when they are not suppose to aggro them. Still need more improvement says the officers. Which I'm hopping to do so when given the chance.

Will post more again 1st have time, looking forward to tanking tonight.

2008 Raiding Commence

again, We raided SSC last night. Almost one shotted everything that cross our path, I guess everyone is rusty as I've predicted. Actually everyone predicted that lol, but our memory on the boss fights still fresh as always in our mind. Apart from some hiccups but nothing serious to implicate that we're going to have trouble hitting Mount Hyjal & Black Temple soon.

I was assign to heal last night, need to get used to raid healing again as a whole. I suck last night, and the only fight that I'm able to show some positive results we're on Fathom-Lord Karathress. I love healing on this fight, also able to benchmark how well a healer can sustain on the fight with their mana pool. I think I was holding back, but I hope I didn't, looking forward for tomorrow's raid.

Hope that I get the chance to go Feral Combat this time, is been awhile since I raided as a non healer XD.

Patch 2.3.2 is today, see you guys & gals at Azeroth/Outland.

Lagging or Just Lazy?

One month break from raiding has already reached the end, WDK will raid again starting tomorrow 6th of January 2008. Would the raid succumb to the "rusty" syndrome ? or can we pick up from where we left off from 2007 and improve on it? I really want to see Illidan Stormrage before the next big patch comes version 2.4, which would feature the last 25mans instance before the next expansion comes out.

Many other SEA guilds already starting to raid The Black Temple for the past couple of week, so do WDK have the momentum to catch up with them? Can we make up the time lost in between the past one month of no raid? Are we still going back to the "farming" instances? Certainly everyone would be eager to raid, BUT are you Prepared?

Are we going to make the same old mistakes over and over again? Are we going to stuck on a boss for another couple of months? I really hope not, cause seriously we have the capability to perform better when it matters. Just at time out focus are often interrupted with some ill judgments which can be avoided every time. What ever the case is, I hope 2008 will bring more "hunger" then "haggling" for WDK.

As always, For The Horde!!! We Are Prepared?

Arena for PvE,

Are you one of them? I've just got my 1st piece of Season 3 Arena class specific set to upgrade my previous healing legging from Karazhan the Earthsoul Leggings which I've been using for almost 8-9 months for raiding. Don't blame me for the lack of upgrades I've not been doing, Our guild have shit luck on drops class sets drops.

Let's put that aside and continue on our discussion on PvP to PvE. I get most of the people are doing it at the moment, but is it a viable option for most of the people out there? Is there any much different from raiding to gear yourself up? Obviously there is, you need to spend DKP to purchase the items you want also depends on how hardcore of a raider you are. The major downside on this is you have to fight among you guildmates of them, most of it are class specific loots.

This always leaves you with no option but to spend a very high amount of DKP points on them if we really want it and render us pointless on getting other cross class items. On top of it, some are item upgrades for them as well as for yourself. Things always turn out bad, but eventually everyone would have the same share on the loots in time. But if you would spend the same amount of time to get the Season 3 class specific set as your PvE upgrades the only thing you need to sacrifice is time. Also eliminating the inconsistency of the item drops on instances, but you lose out on the important stats for PvE most of them are Spirit, Spell Chance to Hit, Melee/Range Chance to Hit just to name a few of them.

But if they are clearly upgrades for you, there is always other option on gears to balance back the stats you lost out from them from other slots. So if you are doing this at the moment, I hope you spend your DKP point wisely on the other slots items so you don't gimp yourself completely in PvE environment.

Will Tank for Badge of Justice...

Often called upon when needed, some say Feral tank = easy mode. I say this is almost the same skill that you need to learn from any other classes that can tank. I've read so many guides and blogs out there about how to maximise or improve you're tanking skills. I have to admit and "kowtow", it really takes experience. To be honest I love tanking, holding on the mobs and building hate all around them as much as I can. But at times certain situation requires experience of a veteran player who played much of his time in WoW as a meat shield.

Last night heroic was another good example of me being an inexperience as a seasonal tank, Shattered Halls was the instance that we went. I've must be wondering the last time I was tanking we breeze over like it was a walk in the park. Class composition on my last visit there was Feral Druid, Holy Paladin, Combat/Hybrid Rogue, Enhancement Shaman and Destruction Warlock, 5 badges in our bag pretty easily with some minor wipes after Grand Warlock Nethekurse room heading to Blood Guard Porung (Heroic).

Did some readjustments and we manage to get through and finish of the time event, yesterday was no exception. Did the same routine only to wipe on our way to Warbringer O'mrogg, was a stupid called that I made. I was using my technical knowledge on mobs to kill rotation, Cloths > Plates or Casters > Melees and it turn out bad. Wipe we we're, thus plans we're changed and Shattered Hand Legionnaire need to be killed beforehand in order for the extra adds to be spawned if he is not killed in time.

1st packed cleared, my healer nearly died. I was wondering why this was harder then my last run I did with almost the same class composition, only changes was out with Combat/Hybrid Rogue in a Frost Mage. Probably our same Destruction Warlock wasn't on TeamSpeak thus the communication wasn't there to help feared the mobs away from our healer? But I blame most of my text book mistakes on myself, for not brushing up on it. Wipe again on the 2nd sets of pack, because I've decide we should fight at the hall way instead of the small section room area before the hall way to O'mrogg.

Yet another text book mistake on decision to clear the mobs there. My credibility as a tank might have taken another step down the hill from the view of the officers, well I hope not. Cause I have to prove to them I can do better if given the chance again.

Can't really wonder more on last night run, but eventually hope it will not happen again. I think is about time I write on some where what I should do when being tank and not do when being a tank. Keyboard turning almost minimised and I'm need to step up on my awareness again. WTB more PvP arena matches XD, lol.

Speaking of which, Ill write up my views on my terribad adventure of my current arena escapade.

For now, give me chance again and ill prove them wrong. GULP... XD

Changes, again. Seems pretty boring...

Yeah another change to my blog, If you must then you can just browse around my older posts since the beginning. Which has no relation with my current focus/topic of discussion on my blog.

Putting this blog purely focus on my favorite past time that I've spend so much time on for the past 2 years, yes World of Warcraft.

Why the sudden change again? I have nothing much to talk about on my real life, as you can see that I've spend so much time on this game as I think is more appropriate for me to shift blog entries towards World of Warcraft. If you guys & gals not knowing about it yet, I play a character class Druid in WoW. Horde faction & of course a tauren, what makes me choose this class instead of others was purely a needed class when I 1st started off when I started playing this game on my 1st server that I was in which was Smolderthorn.

SycK, the guild I've been for the past 1 and a half year may it be rain or shine things eventually didn't turn out well in the end. I just don't have time for anymore "drama" with the game that I've enjoy so much as a gamer and a person behind the computer screen. In then end I choose to move myself from Smolderthon server and switched to Tichondrius. Thus Wad De Kao was my new solace.

Keeping people alive was my main role as a player, never get tired of it. Never will, but at times the urge of doing other then healing with my Druid may just eventually sway my way of thinking. But with my current role as a triple class in one, I may well be just want the raid wanted? or just there to fill in the gap left by the non hybrid classes. No complains, I've always put my personal goals aside and shit it more into a team effort.

Knowing my roles at times would eventually be a win or a lose situation. So changes week in week out for me wouldn't be much of a problem. But I sure would like to have a permanent role with the guild if given the chance again. Knowing that I've apply to my current guild as a Restoration druid. I doubt they would want me to fill in another role other than that.

So much rant again, with no drama ? hopefully. Next raid will bring in some fresh mental and intelligences and bring us to the highest achievement that is available in the game at the moment, Illidan Stormrage. I would like to see him before the next big patch, which would probably would be implemented in the next 2 months. But I hope for it to be longer, but with the much of the hardcore guilds out there in US and EU servers all farming the end game content for the past 4-5 months. Ill doubt they would haggle on the next patch.

So fingers cross, hopes a lot. Hope to see you soon Illidan Stormrage.

Archimonde HALOZ!!! XD

We're 4/5 into Mount Hyjal at the moment. Most of the fights are basically same base on the executions. Just that it requires the raid to swap roles. Archimonde is the next on the kill menu, we're going to open up The Black Temple account soon. End game is near, until the next patch which should be up before 2008 2nd quarter?

Much excitement on the 4 FTK we notch up, 1st 3 FTK I was on off tanking/dps duty. On Azgalor I was needed to heal, I can say it was my worst performance in raid for the past 6 months. I hope to be better it out the next time we meet him again.

The fight is almost the same execution needed as of Anetheron, this time instead of the reduce your healing spell ability by 75% on target that has been affected with Carrion Swarm (the boss special ability). We we're instead countered with Howl of Azgalor (5sec Silence AOE Spell), Raid of Fire & Unquenchable Flames (A Fire Damage Over Time Spell). Mobility wasn't the issue here, but I was worried that if I move around a lot. I risk causing the other group of people in that next area I'm moving to getting the Rain of Fire.

Seeing people dying with out dishing out some decent fight against him wasn't a pleasant view. Next time we meet again, ill will improve myself and not make the same mistakes again. Much rant on the things going on last week, below are the screen shots of our FTK's for your viewing pleasures =P

** Rage Winterchill, Looks Like He Got Clump Up Like A 8 Ball **

** Anetheron, The Only Thing Left Was Hit Torso Armour**

** Kaz'rogal, Check Out The Cataclysm's Edge. One Of The Loot Drop From Archimonde**

** Azgalor, A More Spectacular Dead Corspe Then Magtheridon**

Kael'thas Sunstrider dies.

**Finally It's Over, DONE AND ZHITZ!!!***

Yes, one week after my 1st post in like a month. WE finally kill this Tempest Keep - The Eye end boss. Just about when I was wondering how I'm going to make it for Monday raid should we not kill him again. On top of that it was surely our last try of the night, after like 4 solid attempts on him.

Start of the attempt on him with a dry run on phase one to show how it was done to Kiezery(the return of the prodigal son). What a dodgy attempt it was, our off tank got one shotted by Lord Sanguinar. I was guessing is going to be another one of those night where we're going to repeat the same mistakes over and over again.

Things look better after that, but as I mention earlier. WE'RE repeating the same old mistakes again. I covered my face in real life as each fail attempts unfolds. As the trash re-spawn timer countdown, I was begining to wonder if there is going to be an end to this again. Or we're just going to do this again next week with the same old mistakes over and over again.

Trashed patrol re-spawn after that, we kill them and proceed what was going to be our last attempt on him for the night. Things we're looking great towards phase 4, we're slightly behind on killing the adds but everything was going smoothly as planned. Phoenix soon spawn as it marks our entry into phase 4. Things was in control again, Kael'thas health points was going down and down. I wasn't imagining things, but his health points dip below 50%!!! and phase 5 begins!

Everyone was shouting over the TeamSpeak Server, was very hectic I could hardly hear what Zerul a.k.a Julian giving out the next order. Thank god for Hunza a.k.a Loafer asking people to just "shut the fuck up!". Into the phase 5 we we're in, basically is a sure kill on this part. But still not over yet not until his health point reaches 0%.

Soon after he died, TS was filled with scream and shouts as usual. Another instance cleared and done. Very much long over due, I have to be frank this is one cock block we can actually learn from. Just know what you're suppose to be doing, like Loafer says. "DON'T FUCK UP PLEASE!".

Many gratz again to WDK. Very good effort and one of the best attempt of the night lolz.

Kael my arse,

My 1st post in a month and I'm already ranting about this end-boss for Tempest Keep - The Eye. Not only is the most fucking complicated boss fight in the game, getting this rightly done with out problem will ensure that you are prepared to even face Illidan when the time comes.

5 Phase fight, yes F I V E phases for this fight. We finally break the phase 3 barrier last night and got ourselves into phase 4. But so much so that total concentration on this fight is seriously necessary if not is fail attempt.

This should be the last hurdle for us to reach the end-game raid. After this we can safely say that we're going to Hyjial / Black Temple.... perhaps.

Fuck this shitz.

I Mean What?

**(Hmm.. is that 24 people in the raid??)**

High Astromancer Solarian down and SSC is officially cleared for the week. We're moving at a fast pace at the moment. Keeping the momentum up, no sure what is behind this. I bet the the team spirit that in the guild at the moment.

Hopefully it will be there even with some "nazi" management while raiding kek. It help keeps everyone "On The Ballz" as the raid leader says when we we're into another attempt on Solarian.

Kael'thas will be tomorrow, kinda fucked that I can't make it. SSC is going to be my main raiding priority for these few coming weeks. After that ill might change back my schedule to suit TK. Onwards to Kael'thas Sunstrider!!!

Stay dead please?

**(Picture Courtesy From Zerul a.k.a Julian)**

WDK took down Al'ar last night, is already a done deal on that boss. Is long overdue as well, as we we're focusing on our push towards Lady Vashj which we did. So now we're shifting our focus to Tempest Keep - The Eye, next stop should be High Astromancer Solarian. Couldn't be better timed with the new patch 2.2 rolled out to the live realms as we speak.

Suppose to fix/nerf/buff the fight, what ever you call it. Hopefully it won't be another 2-3 weeks of learning phase on this boss. But I have faith with everyone, we should get the job done sooner then later =P.

Just need to keep the momentum rolling.

Morez purpelz inc!!!

2 Months and 21 days later,

**(Our 1st encounter with Lady Vashj)**

Serpentshrine Cavern cleared!

We finally got this instance done and dusted, from our 1st SSC trash pull on 2nd of July 2007 to the final killing blow on Lady Vashj by Nxz a.k.a biacth0 on 23rd September 2007. Was well worth it, even with 2 paladins in the raid we're still able to get this done. Get well soon Viktor a.k.a Raptor. We never gave up since our last attempt on her on Thursday, even when everything was against us.

The Internet in Malaysia was the biggest killer to our raid rather than the virtual mobs in the game. Class compositions on every boss encounter as well come to think about it and also getting things reminded over and over again (I have to give a big salute to Zeruk a.k.a Julian our raid leader). Everyone deserves credits for this 1st success. Our next target at the moment would be Tempest Keep a.k.a The Eye. Hopefully we will get this clear before end of October, as we are anticipating something which can be done.

I would like to thank Krensterii a.k.a Ken for the gold’s that you promised the raid when we down bosses that are so called cock blockers. But more over is not about the golds for me, is the achievements that we done as a team. Keep this up and we will be visiting The Black Temple sooner than we thought.

Lady Vashj is donez and shitz gaiz!!!

**(Done and Dusted)**

Two weeks later...

Leotheras the Blind died. We one shot him yesterday, and our 1st kill as well. Raid almost wipe on phase 3 where he split his inner demon out upon reaching 15% of his HP. We killed him well bellow the enrage timer, I guess we're kinda panic when we manage to get him to phase 3.

Now with only Lady Vashj to "dance" with, we need the consistency if we're to be able to get Vashj down. Meaning killing all the bosses with out problem with in 1-2days of raid time, can't wait to pay Vashj a visit.

WTB weekly consistent class composition, PST.

Another one bites the dust!

1 Week 2 1st Time Kill, we kill Fathom-Lord Karathress on our only 1st week attempt. Fight wasn't that complicated as Morogrim or Hydross. Pretty straight forward fight. I would say the similarity to Razogore the Untamed fight, but more piratically is the kill rotation that needs to be done fast.

Spitfire Totem must be destroy as soon as it spawn, and just kill the 3 adds that's together with him one by one. I figure out a way to spend my gold at the moment, respec my talent if needed. I respec out of 34/0/27 build, is either I go full Balance or full Resto.

Naizz work gaizz!!! Enjoy the FTK while it last =P

Morogrim Tidewalker down!

Finally after 4 weeks of trial and errors, we manage to finally get this boss who likes to play with bubbles down. Another test for the raid coordination again, I wouldn't say it's a cock block for WDK. Is more like having bad luck each week.

Class composition wasn't there, random aggro on the murlocs, Morogrim Tidewalker hitting like a bullet train on the main tank, and ISP eating the raid up as well. But we came out strong last night, going for the win instead of letting another week of attempt going down the drain. Kudos to everyone who strive on week in week out.

Finally a 1st time kill in like almost a month... =D

Priceless.
