It took nine days, but Aesadonna has hit level cap. Although I am behind my fellow raiding peers in reputation and gearing progress, I do not regret my decision to take the "scenic route"; Pandaria is filled with beauty that deserved to be greedily drunken in.</div>

<b>Undying Resolution has finished up T13 as the number one 25 man guild on Elune. </b>That's... phenomenal. The feeling is far beyond my depth of expression; awestruck is probably the best adjective to label it. When Deathwing fell and the achievement spam blew up guild chat, I turned to Beef and whispered, "This is by far the most amazing thing I've experienced in WoW."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
(No offense, Shadowmourne, you're still a wonderful milestone!) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As someone who raided sporadically and was more enraptured by lore prior to joining UR, I'm still pinching myself in disbelief. <u><b>We did it!</b></u> We worked cohesively to beat the hardest content that Blizzard has published to date, while the other raiding guilds on our server splintered off into running Heroic DS in 10m because it's easier.<i>* </i>This accomplishment is exceptionally kick-butt because a good chunk of my guildmates, too, have never experienced the feeling of being a raider in a top guild. So there was a general sense of wonder in the air rather than jaded boredom. I hope we keep that same sense of wonder, and our drive to accomplish bigger and better things, as we progress in the next tier of raiding.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bring it on, Pandaville - we're Saviours of Azeroth!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>* "Easy" is subjective; I don't look down on people who choose to raid in a strict 10 environment, nor do I personally think that 10m equals automatic easy mode because personal accountability is key. But your mileage may vary.</i></div>

You see these dragons fighting? It was the weirdest glitch I've ever experienced in a raid! It all started with one <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/npc=56143" target="_blank">Force of Destruction</a> (from the <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/zone=5844" target="_blank">Hour of Twilight</a> instance) spawning in the room with Zon'ozz. He flew around erratically as we cleared trash, much to the amusement of myself and the annoyance of others. I even jokingly called him "our good luck charm" on Real ID.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div separator="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And then, another spawned! After that, a <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/npc=56140" target="_blank">Dream Warden</a> appeared and engaged in epic battle with the two Black dragons. Unfortunately, two-on-one wasn't a fair fight and our green friend died quickly. The two remained dragons remained until our first wipe, when they despawned.

This was our lovely kill. I mentioned "UR fashion", which translates "half the raid is down and our DoTs are why the boss is dead." As you can see, I'm one dead Derp Kn00b. (Dying with a boss who has less than 5% is my thing, I guess, haha)<br />
<br />
We've been working on Heroic Spine for the past two weeks, which is HARD. The first week, I remained a Frost DK and helped our Blood DK on AoEing the massive amount of <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/npc=53889" target="_blank">Corrupted Blood</a> that exists after stripping the second Plate.<br />
<br />
The second week, I was asked by our GM to swap to Unholy for the valuable raid cooldown <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/spell=51052" target="_blank">Anti-Magic Zone</a>. I haven't had an Unholy spec since Tier 11, so I felt clunky and lost for a good portion of the night. I even did the worst thing ever and accidentally replaced the button I had for AMZ with <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/spell=49206" target="_blank">Summon Gargoyle</a>. Having to sheepishly explain my mistake and apologize was pretty embarrassing, but I guarantee it's something I'll never do again!<br />
<br />
We're getting to about 25%, which is pretty decent. Hopefully we'll have a kill soon and we'll be that much closer to becoming <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/title=285" target="_blank">Saviours of Azeroth</a> before Pandaville is upon us!<br />

On another tangent, this pretty little Worgen is my future <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/title=166" target="_blank">Herald of the Titans</a> toon! One of my new guildmates, <a href="http://www.hestiahthedruid.com/" target="_blank">Hestiah</a>, threw out the idea of putting together an Alliance-side run and I immediately pestered Beefbus for us to get in on it!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Beef, Amowrath, and I have been running Wrath dungeons like crazy to get gear. Setsunai is a Feral Druid, which feels similar and different all at the same time! I look forward to see what goes down later this month and you bet I'll be updating about the trials and tribulations that I didn't experience while it was "current."<br />

Speaking of Hestiah, look at what she sent me! (Illidan is missing; he's on my computer desk. :-D)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After raid, I ran a dungeon with Ponerya, Beef, Hestiah, and Amo. <a href="http://felconcentration.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Pon</a> mention refilling her Lich King cup while we took a small break and I lamented the fact that my home state lacked the gas station that stocked the WoW cups. She said that her state too lacked the gas station and that a Twitter friend set her a set of the cups, which I thought was the coolest thing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hestiah then mentioned that she had a couple extra sets and she'd send me one. I freaked! When I asked her how much I owed her and she told me nothing! That... blew my mind. Here's a new guildie, someone that I hardly knew, and she was kind enough to send me a set of cups for free, just because I wanted them! BRB, CRYING FOREVER. Silliness aside, I'm still really touched.</div>

As of June 28th, I can say that I have a Heroic Warmaster Blackhorn kill
under my belt! This was actually Undying Resolution's second H
Blackhorn kill, but I was absent from their first. But hey, it's still
exciting! </div>

The kill itself was hard won. As Rebirther in the left hand corner of my UR states, I personally ate up 2/3 of our battle resurrections. <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/spell=109204" target="_blank">Twilight Barrage</a> is no joke! Death #1 came from me eating the Barrage by myself while my health was low. Death #2 came from stacking with everyone else for <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/spell=108862" target="_blank">Twilight Onslaught</a> while retaining the debuff from Barrage. Ouch! Nonetheless, I now know what <i>not</i> to do in the future so I can an asset, rather than a floor board connoisseur. </div>

Sunday,
July 1st was an "Old World" night. The main event was Icecrown Citadel
(10), which I'm sure survey would say that I am absolutely insane for
trekking back into ICC after assembling Shadowmourne. I say pshaw to that! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I didn't personally need any achievements other than <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/achievement=4581" target="_blank">Neck Deep in Vile</a>, but these days, I'm just happy to hang out with my guildies. :-) Several guildies got their <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=51954" target="_blank">Bloodbathed Frostbrood Vanquishers</a> and I got to "off-tank" both Heroic Lady Deathwhisper and The Lich King, since I was the only Plate wearer in the group.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Off-tanking
Lich King was actually one of the more <b>"OMG, yay!"</b> things I've done
recently. I'm still scratching my head at how we were able to pull off <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/achievement=4601" target="_blank">Been Waiting a Long Time for This </a>with
my crappy Frosty aggro management, but it made me feel accomplished
that we did. Tanking, even in this silly DPS-form, is scary to me. I
don't like to disappoint, so I shy away from roles of leadership because
of the anxiety riding on that feeling of potentially letting down a group of
people.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Ironically, I had no problems with healing for all the years that I did. *shrug* The human mind is a strange thing, indeed!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since ICC doesn't take a full two hours, we did several other mini-raids to occupy ourselves. Since a chunk of us lacked the achievement, we went into Vault of Archavon to get <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/achievement=4016" target="_blank">Earth, Wind, & Fire</a>. It was a great success!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Vent led to reminiscing about Wrath and how this achievement was way too hard to obtain. I always feel a little sad when people share memories about expansions past because my ability to raid was so sporadic, due to bouncing from sever-to-server, guild-from-guild. Fiannah, my former healer, was only able to see Naxx and Trial of the Crusader before Cataclysm hit. Hell, Aesadonna didn't even step foot into any Wrath five-man dungeon while they were current content!</div>

As of now, it has been <i>sixty-nine</i> days since I have updated <u>Derp Kn00b</u>. I've chided myself over a lack of blogging momentum in the past, but this absence truly takes the cake. Though, I promise that said silence is not without reason; I'm just now easing back into the swing of raiding regularly after an extended hiatus. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The month of May was extremely hard to deal with on the real life spectrum. <a href="http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/elune/Beefbus/advanced" target="_blank">Beefbus</a>, who had been battling sickness off-and-on since February, caught pneumonia and ended up being hospitalized for nearly three weeks. Pneumonia is scary enough when it's plaguing a relatively healthy individual, but Beef has <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cystic_Fibrosis" target="_blank" title="Cystic Fibrosis">Cystic Fibrosis</a>, which helped lend a hand in creating one of the scariest situations that I've lived through thus-far. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'll spare the gory details and happily say that one surgery later (and with the aid of a <b>lot</b> of different medication), Beef's <i>almost</i> himself again. I'm ecstatic that he's made such an impressive stride toward healthfulness so quickly and that his sickness didn't do any permanent damage to his relatively high lung function. You see, lung function is absolutely paramount to a CF-er's general health and lifespan; the longer you can avoid getting a lung transplant, the better. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another thing that I have the utmost gratitude toward is community. I am a realist who swings on the side of pessimism too much of the time. Beef's health has always been impressive for a CF-er... seeing him so sickly was brand new to me. I felt helpless and utterly alone. I, however, was proven wrong on that second count -- both my wonderful guildmates and Twitter followers lent me their ears and made me feel like I was no longer going through this situation alone. So many well wishes poured in from across the interwebz, even from people who have had no interaction with Beef himself! It sincerely warmed my cold, Frost-y (har har) heart. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, thank you all. <i>Really!</i> I just hope that I can reciprocate the kindness that was poured upon both Beef and I during some of the darkest days that I've known.</div>

With our Heroic Ultraxion kill, Undying Resolution is officially ranked <b><u>3rd</u></b> on Elune for 25m Heroic progression! As we function on a lightweight, two mandatory raiding days a week schedule, I find it most impressive. </div>

<b>Vakarian</b>, my baby Fury Warrior, is who I've been playing about 85% of the time. She's part of a (mostly) dungeon leveling duo; Beef's Hunter, <b>Kirrahe</b>, is her other half. I haven't ran consistently dungeons as a lowbie toon since Vanilla and I think I've witnessed pretty much everything now. Rogues in cloth heirlooms? Check! A Mage beating my Need roll on a BoP Strength/Stamina necklace? Yep! Tanks who can't hold aggro to save our lives? All too frequently. But despite the minor bumps, it's relaxing to spend some time on WoW with Beef that isn't dedicated to raiding.</div>

And then there's <b>Fiannah</b>. Killing people with my mind instead of a sharp, pointy object is a fun change of pace! I've been dragging her to UR's alternate 10m Dragon Soul since it makes me feel bad when I let her collect too thick of a layer of dust. Our little group achieved our <u>Destroyer's End</u> titles last Monday after a flawless run, which was extra satisfying as the team were so damn close to downing Deathchin the week before. </div>

On the bright side, I was able to get in on a Heroic Hagara kill last Wednesday. UR defeated her last week as a guild for the first time, but I had missed out due to the Real Life Aggro Machine. So, yay, acheesement! And double yay for one-shotting her. :-)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And now, for the part in which Aesadonna whines mercilessly about Heroic Ultraxion progression.<em><br /></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Never have I felt like such a failure in my seven years of playing this game. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the best Death Knight out there, hell, I'm grateful to my guildies and the officer core for putting up with my shenanigans. But for the most part, I'm competent. Even while H Ultra is completely borking my frame rate and actually<em> freezing</em> my computer due to the lack of optimization of the fight itself, I'm still able to pop into blood presence and furiously smash the defense cooldowns needed to soak the Hour of Twilight as directed with a relatively good rate of success. My derpocity doesn't extend to not being able to press buttons, or I doubt I'd still be a raider.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
But rather, it seems like no matter what the hell I do, I can't break over 34k DPS. I average 32, or 29-30 whenever I have to fight my computer more substantially. I'm expected to do 36k minimum and I'm nowhere close, even whilst adding Golemblood Potions to my rotation. The fight itself doesn't pander to the strengths of a Frost Death Knight, but there <em>has</em> to be something I'm missing. I'm so desperate at this point that I've considered dropping my 2nd PvP spec and testing the waters with Unholy, since I have a <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=77191" target="_blank">Gurth'alak</a>. Or even attempting Masterfrost, though apparently that's a hot mess if you don't get the rotation <em>just right</em>. I feel like I'm running out of options.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I just can't stand the thought of being a liability, it's sucking the fun out of the game. Kind of ironic that I used to complain about my ex-guild's lack of enthusiasm for the game outside of raiding, but I think I understand now.</div>heyheatherbeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05320288646898672959noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1761542819663027017.post-85011592684240434452012-03-26T13:26:00.000-07:002012-05-09T06:37:01.253-07:00At last, Shadowmourne.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After several months of everyone becoming <i>very</i> sick of ICC, Undying Resolution finally has their first (and probably last, haha) Shadowmourne. I feel honoured that so many of my guildmates came together and helped me obtain my dream weapon. Eloquence remains a weak point of mine, but know that I sincerely mean it when I say that any contribution made toward Shadowmourne <b>really and</b> <b>truly</b> means more than I can express in words. You guys are the best and I am damn proud to call UR my WoW home! :-)</div>

I will probably always feel like a butthead for doing so, but I kept the Tabard of the Lightbringer for myself. Every other item got itself a nice new home within the guild, though. </div>heyheatherbeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05320288646898672959noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1761542819663027017.post-44162702295805243322012-02-21T00:17:00.000-08:002012-06-30T10:22:50.888-07:00Transmog: Feminine Death Knight sets.Inspired by Effraeti's recent Death Knight <a href="http://effysrponwyrmrestaccord.wordpress.com/2012/02/20/death-knight-set-x3/" target="_blank">mog post</a>, I decided to try my hand at piecing together some plate transmog outfits that are tough, yet feminine.<br />

Wednesday, the <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=77067/reins-of-the-blazing-drake" target="_blank">Reins of the Blazing Drake</a> dropped. I was having a terrible, no good, very bad night... and it showed in my performance. Not feeling as if I deserved it, I sighed and rolled, expecting to lose...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
...I rolled a 97. As soon as I heard "Grats, Aesa" on Vent, I completely flipped my shit! I screamed so loud, I made my sister's dog go nuts, barking her furry head off. I am still in disbelief! Needless to say, my bad mood did a complete 180, haha.</div>

<li style="text-align: left;">Go into your image folder.

Since Derp Kn00b is a WoW related blog, I used my Screenshot folder!<br />
<br />
I chose the sixth screen shot from 2011, which is the year I really buckled down and started playing Aesadonna as a main <i>and</i> the sixth from 2012 because well, I like screen shots! For added authenticity, I then opened the sixth sub-folder under my image folder and added the sixth image to this post. Moar pictures = moar better?<br />
<br />
As for tagging... uh. *scratches forehead* How about this: if you would like to do the meme, just do it! (And link me to your post so I can see YOUR screen shots!) :-D<br />

<li>From 2007 up to my transfer to Elune, I was hardcore Horde. You could <i>not</i> get me to play an Alliance character! It took much begging from Beef and our mutual friend Arikado to get me on Elune, since Kado needed two DPS slots to fill his 10m T11 raid team.</li>
<li>Up until last year, my primary role was healer. *gasp* I played a discipline priest from the tail end of Vanilla 'til the very end of Wrath. It was only at the beginning of Cataclysm that I had the courage to step from the role that was practically ingrained in my skull into something I enjoyed much more: melee DPS.</li>
</ul>

Heh, this is typical Aesa-and-Beef action right here! After trying <strike>and failing</strike> at getting Lumpy, we played an epic fifteen minute game of "Keep Away" with the Paper Zepplins that Aesadonna received, traversing all across Ironforge! We ended up having a guildie friend, Saturnia, join in the chase, which made it all the more hilarious. By time we were finished, there was seriously about 50 Zepplins that smacked Beef in the chest. </div>

The sixth sub-folder in my picture folder happens to be my Fraps folder! This screen shot was of my Cyborg Smuggler, Aesa, from Star Wars: The Old Republic. My time with SWTOR was extremely short lived; like Rift, I was not a fan of the combat. (And yes, I tried every class - I had original beta testing access.)

When I logged into WoW this morning, Beef had a Swift Lovebird waiting in my mailbox! *cheesy grin* It is an in-game tradition for him to send me a shiny during Love is the the Air, stemming back from when we were wee little level 40 Blood Elves and he surprised me with a Pink Hawkstrider for V-Day '07. (You may know those elves as the Draenei Duo Nathadan and Fiannah. We go way back!)<br />

Despite my <a href="http://aesadonna.blogspot.com/2012/02/ups-and-downs.html">Shadowmourne bitchery post</a> earlier, our core raid team went back and did Heroic Lich King 25 after we one-shot Dragon Soul last night: both of which <i>= awesome. </i>(And I got a shard, bringing my total to 4 for the week. Still 18/50, I factored that in my last post. <strike>HIIAMBABBLING</strike>.) I can also officially cross "The Light of Dawn" off my WoW-bucket list, which makes me a happy <strike>panda</strike> Death Knight. One of my personal favourite titles in the game, represent! <br />

<br />
Probably have little right to admit that, but, well, I am only human. Our attendance for ICC was so poor last week that we had to bump the difficulty back down to regular. Do not get me wrong, I am glad that we were able to run the raid <i>at all</i> and I am forever grateful for the few who show up each week to support the guild, and well, <b>me</b>. But running regulars just means we are going to be stuck in ICC-hell for longer. In heroic, I tend to get anywhere from 6 to 9 shards. This week? I got 3. That is a pretty damn big difference. The kind of difference that will tack on many additional weeks.<br />
<br />
I do not begrudge those who have real life obligations and can genuinely only show up to our progression raids -- life should always come before gaming. I, however, do frown upon people who showed up for the first Lich King kill, who are regularly on WoW in their downtime, and then fucked right off. If you are not going to support the guild, get the hell out of our old-world raids and back to trade chat. Harsh? Maybe, but I am not doing this for me. I do not plan on keeping or selling the shiny trinkets for my profit, and really, what is an outdated orange stat-stick but bragging rights? This one is for Undying Resolution.<br />
<br />
So this is my plea to my guildies who have a few hours to kill: please, pretty please, we in the Nerfed Content Group would be grateful for your presence. The more of you that show up = more shards, more shots at achievements, and more happy people flying around on shiny skeletal drakes. We cannot do the harder achievements, such as the two Lich King oriented ones, without a nicely padded group.<br />
<br />
I am still not 100% sure on how I am going to distribute the items from the chest, but I want to reward those who have stuck by, through it all. It sucks that we do not receive a guild-wide reward, like <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=71033">Lil' Tarecgosa</a>, and my biggest fear is that I am going to end up disappointing someone. *sigh* I have been tossing around the idea of a raffle; each time you show up and stay 'til the end, you get your name placed in a drawing? *shrug* If <i>anyone</i> has any idea how to fairly distribute the items, shoot me a comment, forum PM, or an in-game mail. Keyword: <b>fair</b>. Playing favourites is not what I am about.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Current Shard Count: 18/50.</span></b><br />
<br />
I am not the only guildie in need, either. Do not forget that on Monday nights, we run 25m Ulduar to get Mindalen her heal-y mace legendary. This past week, Ulduar was <u><b>cancelled</b></u> due to the lack of attendance. That is <i>so</i> not cool, y'all. Let us all help her get her shiny orange stat-stick and the guild another Legendary acheesement! Anyone into transmog, <span style="font-size: small;">Ulduar</span><span style="font-size: small;"> is a fabulous place to pick up interesting gear. I wear a full set from Uld. ;-) And we do Algalon each week, so come and get your Astral Walker titles! Bring your alts, bring your (approved) friends... just show up and help out!</span><br />

We are both battleground lovers at heart, so making the switch to Arena has been a real challenge for the both of us.

<li>The classes that me the most pause are: Discipline Priests, Well Geared Warriors / Holy Paladins, Talented Blood DKs, SUPER talented Hunters (I can shred a lesser quality one easily), and pretty much ANY kind of Druid - though <u>especially</u> Feral. CC heavy teams, such a priest/warlock or a warlock/mage combination are teeth-grittingly annoying, but if Nath and I keep smart, we can usually beat them. I also groan when I get a team fully in plate, such as DK/Paladin or Warrior/Paladin because I know I have got an extensively long fight on my hands. My attacks are reduced to wet noodles on a fellow Plate wearers.</li>
<li>We are aiming to rank this season, since there are so few 2v2 teams on Elune that are currently ranked. It is kind of a prestigious goal for two Arena n00bies, but we really have made significant progress through trial and error.</li>
</ul>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">PVE PROGRESS</span></b><br />
<ul>
<li>As noted in my <a href="http://aesadonna.blogspot.com/2012/01/destroyers-end.html">previous post</a>; ding, dong, the <strike>witch</strike> dragon is dead. Within two weeks, we will be starting on Heroic 25m Dragon Soul. <i>*gulp* </i>The thought of working on current Heroic content is both scary and exhilarating! I have really got to bring my "A" game; our two other DPSKnights, Castela and Lildwarf, are both fabulously good players and I feel like my damage is really poor when compared to theirs. That might just be my perfectionista side speaking, but either way, I cannot let the guild down with subpar perfomances!</li>
<li>Shadowmourne, Shadowmourne, <i>Shadowmourne</i>. Last week, I received 5 more Shards, bringing my count up to <b>14</b>. We also as a group got a few more achievements closer to the meta drake (<a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=51955">Icebound Frostbrood Vanquisher</a>), which is exciting! We are missing <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/achievement=4617">The Orb Whisperer</a>, <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/achievement=4619">Portal Jockey</a>, <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/achievement=4621">Been Waiting a Long Time for This</a>, and <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/achievement=4622">Neck-Deep in Vile</a>. Three out of four of those achievements most likely require a full raid, <i>especially</i> the two LK related ones. Though, my GM Ranico mentioned going back and defeating 25m Heroic Lich King as a full guild group, so I am <u><b>really</b></u> hoping that happens! We would get those last two achievements, a sweet title, and a shot at the best mount in the game... <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=50818">Invincible</a>. I am enough of a fangirl to name my cat after Arthas, so <u><i><b>hell yeah</b></i></u> I want a shot at his mount!</li>

<li>I am not planning on keeping any of the goodies that come from the <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=51316">Unsealed Chest</a>, as my greatest gift is my Legendary and the comradery of my guildmates. More on this later... :-)</li>

<li>Also, our Nerfed Content group was able to venture into Ulduar 25 on Monday as an attempt to get Mindalen <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=45038">Fragment</a>s for her <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=46017">legendary</a>. Very unfortunately she only received one Fragment the entire run (their drop rate are really stingy), but we still had fun!

</ul>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">MISCELLANEOUS</span></b><br />

<li>When I get some more free time, I am planning to write up some more Plate Transmog posts, as well as a post of Aesadonna's personal "fashion" choices.

Tonight, we killed Deathwing in 25 man for the first time, six days before the nerfbat made its appearance. This kill makes UR 8/8 normal mode and tied for 5th in 25 man progress on the server. :-)<br />

I am proud to call Undying Resolution home and am looking forward to what the future brings us!<br />

She needed some time to clear her head; they had grown far too close during their mutual struggle to purge Azeroth of Deathwing's corruption. It was a bond that was unnatural, one she would have to immediately sever. "For his own good", she whispered hoarsely.<br />
<br />
Before she had the chance to mount her beloved skeletal horse, Deathblossom, to ride anywhere but near to Beef as an attempt to escape the frustratingly unknown, she felt a strong hand grip her shoulder. Stiffly, she turned, already knowing who was standing behind her. <br />
<br />
"Aesa", Beef plead. The look of disquiet so clearly written on his handsome face was enough to give her pause. "I...I.." she stammered, recoiling from his sudden burst of emotion. "I'm so sorry", she replied, lowering her eyes to avoid his gaze. Shrugging off his touch, Aesadonna immediately summoned a Death Gate and stepped through to Acherus, her sanctuary.<br />
<br />
"Home sweet home", mumbled Aesadonna. She threw back her cowl, shaking out her hair with a grimace that distorted her winsome features. Even before her death, she had the unfortunate habit of letting men complicate, well, <i>everything</i>. Beef was no exception.<br />

<br />
<a name='more'></a>For years, I have dreamed of building Shadowmourne. Naturally, every achievement-driven WoW player would like a legendary in their arsenal for the bragging rights, but the axe means more to me than that. Let me preface this by saying that Darion Mograine is my absolute favourite lore character. He was selfless enough to take his life as an attempt to try and save his father's soul (even if that did *cough* backfire on him). And although he is a Death Knight and too suffers from the affliction that drives our kind to kill to keep sane, he is still an honourable man.<br />
<br />
...And he is the sole NPC involved in the creation of Shadowmourne. This is kind of dorky to admit, but in my head canon, Aesadonna has a big crush on Darion. She wants to do whatever it takes to impress her leader, including wielding the amazing axe that he built and she tempered. <br />
<br />
A few months ago, when a former guildmate took a team into ICC 10 to get our <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=51954">Bloodbathed Frostbrood Vanquisher</a>s, I had just enough reputation with the Ashen Verdict to pick up the <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/quest=24545">The Sacred and the Corrupt</a>. Afterward, I immediately went out to Frostmourne Cavern and picked up <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=49869">Light's Vengeance</a>. A 25 man ICC PUG with a friend of Beef's soon after netted me the acidic blood of Rotface and Festergut, since he was kind enough to master loot them to me. But, I didn't expect to progress any further than me owning said quest items for nostalgia. <br />
<br />
...I was wrong.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/elune/Venat/advanced">Venat</a>, another guildmate, has recently taken over where our former guildie left off and has been running Retro Raid Nights on Tuesdays as I've mentioned prior. As he, and we who run with him, are interested in achievements, he mentioned us working toward getting the guild <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/achievement=5010">The Ultimate Collection</a> since <a href="http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/elune/Mindalen/advanced">Mindalen</a> is halfway finished with the creation of <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=46017">Val'anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings</a> and I have started Shadowmourne. I think the level of volume of my squee-ing <i>itself</i> was legendary.<br />
<br />
To speed along the process, Beef pooled his Justice Points from a couple of his alts and bought me the remaining Primordial Saronite that I needed to finish up <u>The Sacred and the Corrupt</u>. From there, he swapped to his healer and we plugged away at <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/quest=24547">A Feast of Souls</a>, which thankfully was nerfed to 50 souls or we just might have spent all night in ICC, clearing the trash before <s>BOOOOONEEEESTOOOORMMM</s> Lord Marrowgar. It took about 30 minutes (rough estimate) for me to collect the souls using an un-runeforged, un-gemmed <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=49888">Shadow's Edge</a> (in my 2h Frost PvP spec). After we finished that task, it was time to play the waiting game. Could we get enough interested guildies to help me do the next part of the chain? Just to think about it made me anxious; from this point on, we could only progress the chain in 25m ICC and the pool of people interested in Retro Raids is kind of small. <br />
<br />
That Tuesday after Venat announced his plan, we had fifteen people accompany me to work on <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/quest=24749">Unholy Infusion</a>, <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/quest=24756">Blood Infusion</a>, and <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/quest=24757">Frost Infusion</a>! <span style="font-size: large;"><b>FIFTEEN! </b></span>The biggest group I've seen up to that point was <i>seven</i>! I was shocked and thrilled to see my guildmates (and a guildmate's girlfriend!) band together like that to work toward an outdated legendary. It truly meant a lot to me and makes me proud to call Undying Resolution home.<br />
<br />
As for working on the chain? Naturally, I had to go and derp kn00b it up! I've never driven an abomination before, so working on <u>Unholy Infusion</u> was a <i>riot</i>. Not! I was in panic mode the entire fight. The first three times, it was on heroic, and I was verbally freaking out to Beef the entire time! It was rough to both suck up the puddles and try to keep the bad ick away from everyone, which I ended up failing at because it was the bad ick caused us to wipe each time. Siiiigh. From there, it was switched to normal, and we finished the quest with very little problem.<br />
<br />
<u>Blood Infusion</u> was totally easier than driving the abomination, but there was a trick to it since we didn't have the full 25 that's required for the mechanics. Naturally, we weren't lucky enough to have Blood Queen bite me first in any of our attempts, so by trial and error, we had whoever got bit first bit me... and then when it was time for them to bite another raid member, we let them get mind controlled by the boss and then we killed them so we'd have enough people for just me to bite. Brutal, but efficient.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Frost Infusion</u> annoyed me greatly. Why? Because we probably had it right the very first time! But, I freaked out about the debuff "falling" off me at the fourth stack, so when I'd panicky mention that the debuff was gone, we'd wipe it up. I believe we did that three times before it was like "fuck it, let's kill her and see what happens." ...Annnnnd I got credit for the quest. *facepalm*</div>

Beef and I did quite a bit of PvPing last week. That's not the part worth mentioning... but us stepping back into the Arena is! We went <span style="color: #00c50e;">6</span> - <span style="color: #c50000;">7</span> (46%) and our team rating is <span style="color: #642f08;">575</span>. Not that horribad for a couple of Arena n00bs! Our We both got Conquest capped for the first time since the patch hit and I was able to purchase my first piece of Cataclysmic Gladiator gear -- the <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=73620" target="_blank">Dreadplate Chestpiece</a>. <br />
<br />
Even though I am sitting in mostly 390 PvP gear (Season 11 Ruthless), any team that was rocking multiple pieces of the Cataclysmic Gladiator's gear <b>completely owned</b> me and Beef. It's quite amazing how potent the new gear is! We went up against a Warrior/DK combo twice that had us KO'd in less than a minute. The Warrior shredded Aesa's health like she was wearing cloth, while I was stunned and helpless to retaliate. The DK, I grudgingly admit, was much better than I am. He kept Beef locked down in the background, unable to heal me while his partner went to town. Synergy like that, it can't be beat, and that's what I hope that Beef and I can eventually become. I would <i>really</i> like to learn and grow when it comes toward Arena, since they're outside my comfort zone.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know of good resources dedicated to the art of Arena? I am familiar with <a href="http://www.arenajunkies.com/" target="_blank">ArenaJunkies</a>, but I would like to expand my horizon beyond a single site!<br />

While invading the Horde capital cities, I convinced Beef to do <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/achievement=4436" target="_blank">BB King</a> with me, since we missed out last year. </div>
<br />
The hardest leader to pelt was Sylvanas, just because of the set up of her room. It took us four times for both of us to get her! Ironically, Orgrimmar was the easiest, despite it being the main Horde hub city. Garrosh's room is spacious and you can fly right into it. If we were on a more balanced server, I could imagine Hordies griefing us and making it 10x harder, but Elune is seriously whacky when it comes to Alliance/Horde ratios.<br />
<br />
Being former Horde helped too, because we knew the location of the guards and exactly where each leader makes his/her home.<br />
<br />
Fun fact! This achievement pushed Aesadonna to 8,900 points. I'm so close to 9k, I can almost taste it! (Om nom?)<br />

At first, I thought Transmogrification was quite possibly the silliest thing that Blizzard has rolled out in my six years of playing WoW. <s>That just might have been the bitter Death Knight side of me speaking; we have way less tier to play with than everyone else since we are the new kids on the block!</s> Even though I never liked the process of looking like a hot mismatched mess while in the process of obtaining new gear, each piece showcased my accomplishments in tackling new content. After playing around a little with the feature on the PTR, I wasn't expecting to actually 'Mog on live...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
...Until I saw they re-added <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/npc=28512" target="_black">Quartermaster Ozorg</a> who sells the two sets of Death Knight starter gear at dirt cheap. Considering that they are two of my most favourite sets of gear <i>ever</i>, I hauled ass to <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/npc=54442" target="_blank">Warpweaver Hashom</a>, <b><i>thew</i></b> my gold at him, and have not looked back since!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
