Catch Up Time

Wow it certainly has been a while, hasn't it? That's what happens when writer's block meets head-first with real life. (I do a lot of internet stuff at work, which I'm not supposed to be doing. Shh) A lot has happened to Shagrat in the last month and a half or so and I guess a recap is in order.

On the pet front, not much has changed but I have tamed some new pets and renamed some old ones.

First off, the cat is gone as my primary raiding pet. Hallelujah. In its place is Greyback, my wolf. He was rescued from an abusive human in Theramore. (This would make a great RP post one of these days, if my brain can actually make the words.)

Second, my warp stalker finally has a name, Zeratul. This is a nod to my Starcraft enjoyment and it seemed appropriate. An alien species with the ability to teleport, and in the wild, go completely invisble just seemed to say to me protoss.

My wasp has remained unchanged, the same with my spider. My spirit beast is still there, only it has been renamed Bigredkitty in honor of the hunter who inspired me to strike out on my own (as well as other influences, namely Pike and Rilgon) and made me a better hunter in the process.

On the guild front: Deicides is no more. We have merged with another guild and became Rakicide, and we're currently the third most progressed Horde guild on Turalyon. I've never been more proud to be in this guild. We have some very talented raiders and we have made fantastic progression raiding only three nights a week for three hours a night. All four keepers down, we claimed our first Vezax kill on Sunday and last night we got Phase 1 Yogg down pat and are slowly learning how to manage the tentacles in Phase 2. Unfortunately, drops haven't been so kind for me. We've been in Ulduar since the release last month and all I have gotten so far have been the boots of Deconstructor, the bow from Auriaya (yay Bow Specialization) and the t8.5 legs. (WTB less Vanquisher)

Finally on the hunter front: I have come to identify myself as a marksman hunter. I've taken the time to try all three specs extensively and I've come to the conclusion that I love the marksman tree. Survival on the other hand is too clunky and proc-reliant to be anything more than the 'No one else has replenishment? Come on, are you serious? /sigh I hate 10 mans. Brb respeccing' spec.

A long-winded post, maybe. That's what happens when you let a month and a half go in between posts. On the list, making the blog nice-looking. If anyone has any skill at that, feel free to hit me up. I'm extremely bad at that kind of stuff.
