Your latest warrior accomplishment threadFollow

Well - last week I had a few days off work as there were a bunch of public holidays here in South Africa.

So I spent the week grinding and managed to make 4k gold in 1 week. Also managed to get together mats for my Red Belt of Battle (The girl who was gonna make it for me went away for the weekend) and also for the Cloak of Darkness. I know the Vengeance Wrap is better but I urgently need a cloak (mine is still green) and the mats for CoD are way cheaper and easier to get on my server than the CoV. Primal air is selling for 50g a pop and I already have the leather, nethers and shadow for the Darkness cloak.

Also managed to get 48 badges in 1 week without going to a single raid. 3 heroics a day FTW.

When my warrior dinged 39 he was able to use all of the Scarlet Monestary. So instead of using my mount money for my mount at 40, I bought some mickey mouse enchants and whatnot for my gear and headed on out the SM. He was prot spec, and I love prot spec. So I cleared all of the non elites outside of the instances. Then hopped into Graveyard. Other than a couple pulls, everything went smoothly and I soloed it. One down. On to library. That one was a *****. But by using last stand 3 times and shield wall once, along with a couple fears, a lot of bandages, and some timely pots and pvp trinkets, I made it through. Finally, the big one Cath. The instance is really pretty easy until you get inside. I was surprised to solo 3 pulls, 38 and 39 elites. Sure I used an average of 2 pots a pull but I was determined to kill them all! Wiped it clean. Shield wall was off cd on Mograine fight and again I had to last stand 3 or 4 times in total. But I did it. I owned SM. Now all I need to do is get Naxx attuned and get me the Corrupted Ashbringer so I can hop in there and have them all BOW DOWN TO ME as they should. Right?

It took a nice chunk of cash and most of my play time since late last week has gone to farming for mats, but I'm now DW'ing Black Planar Edges (2.4.2 ftw!)

Theyre a pretty significant upgrade over my old axes (Sun-Forged Cleaver and Harvester of Souls).

Just in time for tonight's Kara raid too. Pretty excited to see how much (more) hell I can unleash with full raid buffs. I'm still behind most of the raid from a gear standpoint, but these should close that gap considerably. I'll just have to keep a governor on the WW spam and go with lesser self-buffs until I get a better idea of how much more threat I'm generating.

I guess I have to post mine ...

1) Went from 1-375 Eng in 2 days .. got my Furious Gizmatic goggles and Epic flying machine ... now I'm waiting to see what eng goodness comes out of the expansion ... call me an optimist ;)

2) When 2.4 hit (and nethers of all shapes and sizes became tradable) ... I crafted my Wicked Edge ... got the nethers for 40g each and the vortices for 120g each ... I timed it just right, ignoring the initial flood at stupidly high prices, then watching the prices plummet as everybody tried to undercut everyone else ... I do believe I got them at their low point.

3) 2 weeks ago, over the course of that week, I got my Vengeance wrap crafted (begged, borrowed and stole 5 shadowcloth Cd's from some buddies), got my red belt crafted, did my first Mech heroic (I don't instance much) - it was the daily and I needed 4 more badges for the Vanir's off hand fist, which I got ... we steam-rollered the place, and I ended the instance on 700dps (Max BT crit was a shade under 3k, Max Victory Rush was 3.1k - go figure !!).... second to the mage who just topped 1000 dps, and over-shadowing the 'lock by around 100 dps.

That was the week I did my eng powerlevel, so I picked up 4 pieces of really top-notch gear in that one week.

AP is now at 1850
Crit is now at 31%
Hit rating is around the 150 mark

All of this with only every having done a single heroic ... 3 half kara runs (where most of my badges came from) ... and 2 full normal instance runs (Steamvault and Shadow labs iirc).

I feel quite happy with what I've been able to do given those restrictions :-D

Last night in Un'goro (level 53 at the time). I was wandering around the silthid nest looking for the hatchery, when out of nowhere two horde rogues level 50 and 53 jumped me. Somehow they failed to stun lock me (which really surprised me). Intimidating shout, the 53 took off like a lemming, while the 50 quivered in front of me. I rampaged, and burned down the 50 just as the 53 was returning. Turned around and burned down the 53.

Then I teleported to Tanaris - I figured they couldn't possibly ***** up a stun lock twice. Good thing about fighting rogues: if they goober it up, they give you lots and lots of rage to work with.

It was the best day of Nyavene's (my toon) life.

Had a spur-of-the-moment urge to clear all my Sunken Temple quests last night. With two somewhat overpowered guildees and two PUGs, my 52 2H-Slam spec warrior is the only non-squishy melee type. I switch from my levelling weapon (Bonechewer with a Crusader enchant) to my tanking set (Viking Warhammer with a Crusader enchant and Valorous Shield).

In the process of a full clear, the following drops come my way:

Crest Of Supremacy
Dire Nail of the Bear
Fist of the Damned
Smoldering Claw
Headspike
Bludgeon of the Grinning Dog (off an early greed roll I would have gladly passed had I known the rest was coming)

Add to this embarrasment of riches the Chained Essence of Eranikus I got from the Temple quest and the Diamond Flask I'll get from completing the warrior quest, and this formerly trinketless warrior is now set in both slots.

I'm still not sure if it's worth it to switch to one of my newly acquired weapons (with another Crusader enchant, of course), but it's certainly a nice decision to have. Given that I always seem to be the guy who gets the loot shaft and never sees a good world drop, I guess I was due.

KZ last night... my 3rd time tanking and 1st as 'MT,' the guild got its 2nd full clear. Maiden's gloves came to me, and I walked away with enough badges to buy the Badge chest... ridding myself of my last vestiges of blue-ness. If I can find some reasonable tanking boots I can start focusing more on my Fury kit (which also got a lil help with Curator's ring and Shade's neck coming my way).

There were a few hiccups early on... took some messy trash pulls for me to gel with some overzealous DPS. And we wiped once (Netherspite... beam rotation gone wrong). But other than that it was a pretty clean run.

I started Bging hardcore with my 49 warrior, and they did not take a flag I was defending because I would spam Thunder Clap like a **** to interrupt and give our other guys a chance to get in the action. I was dropping hamstrings left and right and critting the heck out of my Heroic Strike. I also got some great timely heals and managed to not let anyone get away. I finally got the hang of what I am supposed to do exactly in BGs and it has helped me so much. I alos got my Defilers Plate Greaves which are rad. All in all I'm going to love PVPing at 70.

Not much of an accomplishment compared to some but ...

My guild just one-shotted Opera and Curator when we'd never seen them before. (After that, we had to call it a night, damn real life commitments). So far, we've crushed through every boss but Moroes on the first try. Moroes -- well, he took two tries. We didn't quite have our strat mapped out the first time.

Got some nice Boots of Elusion and slapped a +12 stamina enchant on them just before Curator. They go nicely with my Iron Gauntlets of the Maiden from last week. T4 glove token dropped, but I passed it to our druid co-tank ... he's gotten a bit shorted in Kara so far.

To top it off, we got PEPPERED with random purple gear drops this week (hell, our one boomkin got 3 purples this one run), almost *all* of which got picked up by someone worthy. :-)

Suffice it to say, I'm pretty happy right now.
