Loot whoring.

Ok, I’m not normally one to complain about getting loot, but jeezus, I loaded up tonight in 25-man Naxx!  Well first, we had two teams run 10-man Naxx yesterday. The team I wasn’t on had Rusted-Link Spiked Gauntlets drop and there weren’t any mail dps’ers with them. Luckily, they are BOE so tonight, we rolled on them. I was the only person that rolled so I won. (We roll on 10-man loot, loot council/bid on 25-man loot). They were a decent upgrade from my Thalassian Ranger Gauntlets.

Then Grim Toll dropped and I didn’t bid on it because I knew others would need it and I’ve had several upgrades already. But it dropped a second time from one of the next bosses, so I bid on it only if no one else did. The only others who bid were people it wasn’t very good for, so I got it. Woot!  I watched it proc during the Patchwork fight and my armor pen hit over 45%, with my Kill Shot hitting for over 10k damage! KS hit several times tonight for over 10k, so I’d say its a huge upgrade from my Berserker’s Call.

Following that, the Grotesque Handgrips dropped.  No one bid on them so I took them. It was either that or they’d have been sharded. And they were an upgrade from the Rusted-Link Spiked Gauntlets I had just picked up. And wouldn’t you know, the very next boss dropped Gloves of Calculated Risk!  Again, I said I’d bid only if no one wanted them, as they were yet another upgrade but didn’t want to keep someone else from getting them. No one bid, so I got another upgrade.

My final upgrade for the night was the Pauldrons of the Abandon. BIG upgrade from the blue Shoulderguards of the Ice Troll but once again, I was going to pass to anyone else that wanted them. Nope, no takers. So after a short foray into the world of blues, I’m almost entirely refitted in purples again.  I also got Final Voyage last week.

There are still a few upgrades that I need from 25-man Naxx but I think I’m doing pretty good. I’m pretty sure I’ve gotten more upgrades than anyone else in our guild thus far, but there aren’t a lot of us mail dps’ers. Being a loot whore beats letting shit get sharded, right?

BTW, we could really use a couple of healers. If you are interested in raiding, send me a message, post a comment, throw up an app on our website, do something to let us know you’re interested!   We’re doing 10-man Naxx, 25-man Naxx, 10-man Obsidian Sanctum (Sartharion), 25-man Obsidian Sanctum, and have regular heroic instance runs going on.
