Those runs sound like fun. Entries like this make me slowly shift toward changing my mind about not touching Naxx (and make me really miss OS and VoA).

My “Two Girls, One Cup” knowledge comes from a video John Mayer made in parody. With ice cream. That was good enough for me.

My guild uses a 45 degree angle seperation. The tank always stays in front. If you have the tank’s charge, you’re in front with the tank. If you have the opposite charge, you’re on Thad’s right shoulder (left of the tank). Easier to run. What’s fun is brezing. B/c someone either accepts it right away, killing the druid and themselves, or runs into battle right away, killing themselves again.

Glad to hear you are looking after Faydre for us. Thank you on behalf of Silver Moon (Argent Dawn EU).

Hehehe…. I just played that video, for Alex, Fay (for those nervous, Fay posted a link to Ram Jam’s “Black Betty”), and he put the headphones on, held them tight, and told me several times “Now this is MY kind of music!” and rocked out.

What can I say? I’m blessed.

You know it’s a good run when doing the old VoA boss and the RL says “Sux, drop some agro so Jess is highest threat for the toss”. LOL Dwarf tossing as a international sport :)

You didn’t mention the (what I described to my daughter at the time) “old fart’s discussion” in OS, while waiting for Jess’ BSOD reboot. I was under the weather (sick, not drunk) and my mind was taking tangents all over the place. Good to run with people from the same era.

I just can’t get this out of my head now!

We’ve had a few similar experiences ourselves. When we get our heads in the game, nothing can keep us down, but we still have all the wipes that make the kill so much sweeter.

We’ve only just cleared Naxx ourselves (Couple of weeks back) Due to time and RL issues with a lot of people in guild, but whenever we wipe on a boss a couple of times and call it quits, we always come back the next night and 1 shot the boss. Now we’ve got it to the stage where we managed to clear Naxx in 2 nights last week, and then went and 9 manned OS as we’d not ventured in there either. The feeling of a 1 shot on Sarth when it was most of our first times seeing him was fantastic. Even though to most players nowadays, Naxx is easymode loot and they’re raiding Ulduar 6 nights a week, the place feels fresh to me, and I think its definitely helped any boredom I might have gotten from already experiencing all the content. We’re the lucky ones.

BBB, thanks for the warning. I’d never heard of those terms before and curiousity got the best of me, but with your caution in mind I only resorted to wikipedia for a summary . . . /shudder Glad I didn’t have to watch it. Reading your adventures makes me wanna roll an ally on your server but I know you must have tons in your guild already. How many people are on the roster now?

Just a sugestion for Thadius, it sounds like you run around him… We used to do that. Using clioratha’s diagram as a similar guide we do things a little different. Pretending as if when you walk in the door and are facing him you could float up above his head and look directly down on him with out rotating your view we position the raid like this ——-X+++++ then when the polarity shift happens we run through him as needed… so it makes it easy on the tank he just takes a couple steps through Thadius and turns him, the raid if they need to switch sides has 5 seconds to run through him and group up with the existing positives or negatives on the other side without blowing up anyone… not running in a big circle around him cuts down on the travel time and max’s out the dps time, running through him is a good time to renew dots as well… then a quick jump with a 180 mouse spin and bam your melting faces again.

Last time I was at Thaddius, we did it with positive left as you faced him from the door, negative right, and run through, not around. Rarely any problems, and usually from one of a few people with known connection problems leaving them disconnected but still in the fight.

Always made sure to drop a kaboom trap whenever I had to scoot. My biggest problem is managing to get both me and the devilsaur jumped. First time I was there I forgot, and he just stood on one of the platforms whimpering at me, second time I jumped him first with eyes of the beast and no trouble.

I hate, hate, haet the DDR bozo… the damage isn’t the same size as the splooge and I always get nailed, even if I’m even with the marked ‘stay with this person’ person.
