Put on your fishing caps and cast your line out, time to give away another Vial of the Sands.   For every stack of fish (20) you will get some points.  On March 22 nd the contest will end at midnight.  Please email or trade Malatov the fish prior to then.  On the following Wednesday we will let people roll there points, highest roll wins.  So even one stack of fish gets you a chance at a mount, although playing the odds is usually better.

Point wise

1. 1 stack of Fathom Eel or Highland Guppy-20 points
2. 1 stack of Lavascale Catfish- 30 points (they are harder to get).
3. Every set of the stacks (a stack of all 3 fish or 60 fish) -30 bonus points

If you get over 500 points, you can add 10% to your total points.   As an extra bonus is we get more than 10 people over 500 points (that is over 3000 fish!), I will toss in a bonus prize for 2nd Place (your choice of a Vial of the Sands, Chopper Mount, or one of the 6 Pets from the Blizzard Store).  So if you got your 500 points help out a friend.  Good Luck on your fishing time!

Grats to our first Fangs of the Father to our very own little Nellie.  As Flay said in raid, Nellie went from being awesome DPS to uber-awesome kick ass DPS or something to that nature.  Although when she spreads her wings, I picture her saying in her little gnome voice “I’m Batman” or “Where Rachel?”

Happy Groundhog Day!!  That damn rodent saw his shadow, so that means another 6 months of raiding Dragon Soul!  Just Kidding, MOP will be out soon (hopefully), big annoucement in another month. Well we have been downing Deathwing for quite some time, but always on 10 man.  Tonight we had a good showing of raiders and had a full 25 person raid.  It has been awhile since we have had enough for a full 25 man (usually we 19-20 man the first 4 bosses).  Started with a little less, but managed to 1-shot the boat with 24 of us.  Then a couple of attempts on the spine and changed the strat a little bit, and down the spine went with 25 of us.  After our mid raid break we came back and flasks were getting low, food buffs were out, but we said we would go one time without all buff to see the fight on 25 man.  Little did I know one time is all we would need.  That 1 shot was pretty fucking epic! 

So I have been slacking..sorry about that.   First Update Rudy finally got his legendary staff, so it is useful during the current expansion.  Oak is fairly close as well now.  I wish I had some screen shots, but it happened during my test week so I missed it. Oh well.

Second Deathwing is dead on normal.  I think we have about 23 raiders that have seen him die now.  Not to bad for 1 month after release.  The big question is now, what will we be doing in a few months?  I am hoping MOP comes out by summer.  If not we might have to convert one raid night to a Diablo 3 raid night. 

Anyways the main reason for me slacking is that Dragon Soul raid just doesn’t feel as epic as previous tiers.  I mean our first night in took down 4 bosses on 25 man regular.   LFR definately helped people learn the mechanics faster, but still seemed easy.  So no epicness, no screen shots.  I think I will get one of the next 25 man kill of Spine, that would probably be an epic battle.
