Epic Geared
So many WoW epics =p Muahaha.
Armour:
Helm of Wrath
Dark Iron Helm
Eshkanders Collar
Medallion of Steadfast Might
Amulet of the Darkmoon
Puissant Cape
Green Dragonskin Cape
Breastplate of Might
Dragonbone Wristguards
Gauntlets of Might
Belt of Might
Flamewaker Leggings
Sabatons of Wrath
Onyxia Blood Talisman
Weapons
Thunderstrike
Obsidian Edged Blade
Quel Serrar
Deathbringer
Eshkanders Right Claw
Eshkanders Left Claw
Heartstriker
Why I have so many weapons -> they keep dropping in the instances and no one wants them! And to be honest, I actually do use all them, situationally. I was one of the three maintanks on Broodlord Lashlayer, one of the Draconid bosses in BWL. I had around 9100hp and 400 defense fully buffed, which is necessary since he has an insanely strong Mortal Strike attack... it hit one of our less geared tanks for 7500 damage, and he died instantly =p Especially since the Mortal Strike debuff reduces healing effects by 50% for the next 4 seconds, so it's difficult for healers to save you.

are you afraid
What are you afraid of?
My friend tells me a story. This is a guy who works out in a gym, takes personal defense classes, and he is a very driven and fearless person, focused to the point of obsession. And he has a lot of anger in him. A mugger accosts him at night with a knife - he breaks the mugger's elbow and knee then calls the police. Then he comes back, and tells me some things which I cannot repeat here, and then asks whether I think he is insane.
I have been mugged before. I will admit that I only pretended to put up a fight. It was three of them against me. In retrospect, I would be just as afraid of hurting them, as of being hurt myself. If I had injured any of them, I would be forever afraid that his gang will take revenge on me, and I would walk with that fear every night for a very long time. You never know how long a person's determination can last, even if he has to let it burn throughout his time in prison. This relates very well to the philosophy in Enders game : you never commit to a fight, unless you know you can win so completely that your enemy will never be able to take vengeance on you. Which usually means killing them. And all their friends. And all their friend's friends.
Violence is clearly the action of last resort, no matter how justified you are. It took me many years to understand this. We always cheer for the vigilantes, the ones who fight back, those to beat the odds, give the bad guys what they deserve. Remember the case, where a mugger beat up a woman and broke several bones in her face, then took her possessions and got into his car. She struggled to her feet, walked up to the car and pulled out her gun and shot him dead before he could drive off. It's cold blooded murder, but her actions don't shock the majority of us, and in fact you will find most of us silently nodding our heads and agreeing, yes, he got what he deserved, good on her.
Well, I can walk past the spot I was mugged now, without any traces of fear or panic. It's just a few hundred meters away from where I live right now.

Thursday
Vaelastrasz : Red Dragonflight
Vaelastrasz downed last night. An incredibly fun and technically demanding fight. Your team has to output about 1.3 million points of damage into him within 3 to 4 minutes otherwise you lose. Just a rundown of his abilities - he casts a magic effect on players, killing one every 25 seconds roughly (you cannot save them) frequentily targeting the maintank... he cannot be taunted, so you need to place secondary tanks high up the aggro list to take over... his fire breath AOE does 4500 fire damage to a large area... frequent fire nova with 120 yard range for 1500 damage... physical attack for 2000 damage on plate wearer, 3500 on leather, and god knows how much damage on cloth wearers... hmm, and he cleaves, works like chainlightining -> it jumps from player to player, killing entire groups at once. His burning flames debuff is something like 5000+ damage every 3 seconds while it's active on you. Very cool fight.
And Xany scored the highest damage output on this boss on our kill attempt, 460dps, or a little over 110,000 damage inside of 4 minutes. The chat conversation after that was amusing, since she's new to the guild, by my invitation, using a crap green weapon, and she's already proving her worth (and the worth of all my player recommendations too =p). Chat went something along the lines of "all you other rogues, you're fired". Go girl, hehe =p
I like to fancy myself as the warrior that has the highest damage mitigation, but shall be for the healers to decide =p
