Another big WoW milestone Can you believe I've been playing WoW for three years? And I still enjoy it as much as I did that first month. Some people might say I'm easily amused (because how could I obsess about a game for this long?) but it's so fun!
Well today, I hit another huge milestone: I mage tanked Krosh Firehand in Gruul's Lair!!!!
Ever since we started doing joint 25-man raids with another guild, I started slowly working on my high-stamina gear. In my previous trip to Gruul's Lair, there were four mages and only one of us had enough health to tank Krosh. You need a minimum of 10,000 unbuffed, and I was only in my 7000s.
Well earlier this week, after getting the Battlecast Hood and Pants, and doing everything I could to get more health on my frost mage, I finally hit 10,100 unbuffed. I was excited because I knew it meant we might have an option to do Gruul's Lair if the other geared mage couldn't show up.
Well, she showed up... but we only had 3 healers. That place needs 6-7 healers, so our geared mage was asked to switch to her healing priest--after they determined that I could be the mage tank!
I was really really nervous and for the initial pull, I had to breathe deeply because my hands were shaking!
It took us four wipes--but not all of those were my fault! But each of those attempts gave me more experience until I had a really good grasp of what I was doing.
In the end, I was able to successfully tank Krosh and we were able to kill Maulgar!! Yay!!!
So here for your visual pleasure is my postcard from there. Sorry, it's not a shot of me actually killing Krosh because I forgot (and DURING the fight I was too busy to take a screenshot).
In particular, check out my health. Raid buffed, I was 12,413!!! Woot!
