W00t Epixx!!!

Haven't updated in over a week, but Wulf's had a very profitable weekend that I feel compelled to share.

Friday night was Molten Core, where we managed to clear six bosses in one night (Lucifron, Magmadar, Gehennas, Garr, Baron Geddon, and Shazzrah). I remember back in December we had difficulty clearing up to Lucifron, and taking him down was a night's work, so being able to Zerg through six bosses, all of equal or greater difficulty to him in one night is an indication of how far we've come. I also picked up a nice set of leggings for Wulfsblood for very few DKP. The arrival of the leggings proved to be fortuitous, because Veppe, a Warrior friend in CD had just given Wulf a book which he could use to get a charm in Zul'Gurub to further enhance them. Therefore after we were finished in MC, Wulf and another Hunter with a similar book headed off to the Library in Dire Maul to prepare the books for the ZG run the next day.

The next afternoon, Wulf had his first experience of the new, changed Zul'Gurub. To be honest, it was dissapointingly easy now. We spent months working on the bosses and strategies, and now it's a walk in the part taking down the priest bosses. On the other hand, they've finally turned Hakkar from a snoozeworthy fight into something that's actually a challenge. We haven't got him down yet, but we will soon. On the run, the loot kept rolling in. He got the reagents for his class-specific belt, and the final component of his charm, which made his new leggings even more amazing.

That evening, we went up against Onyxia again. We didn't enjoy the same degree of success as past runs, but we got her down on the third try. More to the point, I spent th last of Wulf's current supply of DKP on this helm, which is currently the best Hunter helm in the game.

Sadly this meant that when the Ancient Petrified Leaf dropped from Majordomo Executus in MC tonight, I was in no position to bid for it. But hell, there'll be other runs, ad I've had a frankly awesome weekend.
