I tamed a gorilla yesterday. He has not yet been named, though. He looks very tough, though, and he manages to hold aggro off me just fine. Though it shall be said that my new spec is not made for optimal raid DPS, and more for grinding and leveling.

My guild still tore through Karazhan without problems, and took down The Curator before the first Evocation. Then we went and took down Onyxia. We had a blast. I honestly do not think I have had so much fun on a Kara-raid before. And my beloved Luna is still a viable DPS-pet, though Rake is not exactly an ultimate attack.

Next on my agenda is to buy the last stable-slot and go tame a blue moth and a core hound. Then, when Northrend opens, one will have to go so I can pick up a rhino.

A good day, it was.

We cannot believe our luck on Saturday. We ran lots of instances, starting with the Mechanar, where Pathaleon the Calculator was kind enough to drop the Abacus of Violent Odds. Then we visited him again because our shadow priest friend Repina needed something there, and he dropped the Beast Lord Helm. After than, we went to the Botanica, where Warp Splinter was considerate enough to drop the Beast Lord Cuirass. So we are very pleased. Now we just need to get Warlord Kalithresh to drop the Beast Lord Leggings, so we can keep the 4 set bonus from the Beast Lord Armor when we change the cuirass with the Ebon Netherscale Breastplate. Though it is not critical yet, as we still lack 15 skillpoints and many, many primals before we can craft the breastplate.

We are ready for Karazhan, though. So now we just need some more raids while waiting for better gear.

We have been to Karazhan.

Since last time, our lovely guild invited us to tag along to Karazhan, and we could of course not refuse, even though that meant standing up our friends we were going to heroic Mechanar with. We think it was worth it, though, and when they saw what it earned us, they could not agree more. We were extremely lucky and got our first non-welfare epic, the Legacy, which the Crone generously dropped for us. It meant that we lost our shot at the Fiend Slayer Boots from the Chess event, but it was still well worth it. And now we are just 2 Badges of Justice away from the Choker of Vile Intent. That choker will mean that we are just 20 hit points away from cap. Yes, we are excited.

And we must admit that it felt really nice to be told by our guild of Serpentshrine Cavern-geared raiders that we did very well in Kara. We are hoping the experience will be repeated soon, as we had to split before Prince, and we do want to meet him too.

Warlord Kalithresh was also thoughtful enough to drop our Beast Lord Mantle the other night, while at the same time giving us the reputation with the Cenarion Expedition we needed to finally get the Glyph of Ferocity we have been wanting for a while now. So yes, we are extremely pleased with this week.
