To Do List
- Kill Algalon (10). We are so close to this one! If I were able to bully people back into Ulduar more than once every other month or so (which inevitably forces us to spend the first 20 minutes of our hour relearning the fight >.<), we'd have Called enough Stars by now to start our own pocket universe.
- Kill Anub'arak in Trial of the Grand Crusader (25). If I have to extend this week's ID indefinitely (or until our 50 attempts are exhausted), then I will. We didn't let Lady Vashj or Kael'thas Sunstrider get the better of us in TBC, and we certainly won't let Anub'arak do it now.
- Make a decision about Shadowmourne. /waffle
- Get Stumpy his Rusted Proto-drake. He's been One Light short of 310% birdspeed for so long that I'm ashamed of myself.
- l2holy. ... okay, so Larissyn wasn't my first or even second choice for an arena character. But after watching Rosaly's PvP video — or, rather, listening to Rosaly's PvP video — I have to admit, I'm kind of excited. (Whatever you do, don't tell Keaton.)
- Buy a sexy new dress for Saturday's holiday party. See also: manicure, pedicure and practice run with the curling iron and/or straightener.
- Delete Paladin Schmaladin from my feedreader. Lying liar is STILL LYING — and the paladin community is somehow okay with it! If this isn't proof enough that you full-time pallies are SEVERELY JUDGMENT IMPAIRED, then I don't know what is. Ugh.
- Christmas shopping! Think Geek and NorthernSun, how I love three.
- Gem shopping! Now that I can finally retire my two-piece T8, I should probably dust off those T9 robes and shoulders I've been holding on to and see if I can't dress them up with some sparkly accessories.
- Finish leveling Elleiras's alchemy so I can make my own flasks.
- Clean my house. No, really. I mean it this time. I HAVE to clean because I'm going out of town for Christmas and New Year's and my house isn't fit to be seen.
- Renew my passport. Or at least get the pictures taken when I'm out and about so I can submit the paperwork. No passport + Canadian fiance = sad warlock.
- Write a real post. None of this silly filler fluff that no one cares about (not even me).
- Do Heroic Pit of Saron and Halls of Reflection. For real this time.
Enjoy this article?
Alts! I haz them.

Algalon is one of the best fights ever put into the game and without a doubt the best looking fight currently in the game. Even on 10-man, it pushes you and no one can slack.
Well, at least that was the case when I finished the encounter months ago. With new gear, the DPS requirement was more easily met the last time I went to kill him but still, a challenging fight.

Sounds like you’ve got your priorities right. I think my guild’s going to try to push through ICC-10 (with mixed success no doubt) and will be skipping on the Ulduar hard-modes and ToGC. It’s a shame really, especially given that we have a really strong core 10-man group capable of doing a good job there, but it’s a lesson in how much of a attraction new content is over old hard-mode variants for guilds not close to the bleeding edge.
As for me, I’m going to pray to the loot gods that I get lucky with a battered hilt drop in the new 5-mans as Quel’delar is just that good. That aside, finally being in the 25-man group that kills Anub’arak would be handy too.
As a matter of interest, what has Paladin Schmaladin done this time?

I’ll do Algalon with you guys. I know that there was some talk by some folks about doing it over their Christmas break… maybe we can kill 2 birds with one big rock.

holy pvp is fairly simple, it is more about your positioning than what spells you use.
here’s a nice “OH SHIT” macro that one of my friends who plays 2300+ holy uses for when bubble is down:
/cast aura mastery
/cast lifebloom (alchemist)
/cast avenging wrath
/cast divine favor
/cast divine illumination
/use battlemaster’s ruination
all in one global cooldown.

my two cents on shadowmourne is that of all the people in a raid group who show up and do their job, the dps increase in raid will be there regardless and the ones who will break faces with it in arena will be putting it to the best use. so liseria, sang, naga (if he actually still logged into this game) and myself.
but of course, there are people in the guild with far more seniority and who show up to raids more consistently than the pvpers who frequently perform off-spec duties and definetly deserve it more, and i wouldn’t by any means realistically expect you guys to screw them out of it. would be nice to hear the line-up order soon though so we know whether to hoard our frosty badges or not!
