Yesterday was a good day. Did we down Lich King? Well, no. We did down Putricide and Valithria the day before, and while that was a good night of raiding overall, it wasn’t strictly speaking a good day for me. All I got out of the deal was 4 frost badges and a bit of rep. That sounds incredibly selfish, but hey. Getting Stuff makes people feel good. Human Nature 101.

Anyways, yesterday I pugged Sarth. It was the weekly. And the pug raid was very well geared, so they went for the Twilight Zone Achievement, which we got using the zerg ’strat’. On the first try. With 2 lonely mages left standing. Iceblock FTW. My DPS wasn’t too shabby. Lagging behind the mages and hunters but better than all the other hybrids and even the token rogue. Cutting to the chase, for about a half-hour’s worth of raiding I got a rather coveted title – Twilight Vanquisher (it’s still pretty rare), 5 Frost Badges due to it being the weekly raid, and to top it all off I won one of the best DPS trinkets available, Fury of the Five Flights. Been losing out on Whispering Fanged Skull every week – either a rogue/hunter/ret pally/something else wins it, or it doesn’t drop, and we’ve kinda ceased doing TOC 25man which is a pity, I’d love to get my hands on Death’s Choice. QQ. Barring those two, running Greatness and Five Flights is the best in slot available to me right now.

It’s pretty odd how an off night raiding a pug with a bunch of randoms worked out more lucrative to me than grinding ICC10 with my guildies, and really does serve to illustrate how this game has changed since Burning Crusade where, if you wanted to see any kind of raiding content at all, you had to be in a guild. Today, it’s only really the top tier content that requires you to be in a guild and even that’s not necessarily ironclad, I see people organising ICC runs in tradechat every day. Today guilds are strictly there for social reasons and strictly progression.

But for Gearing? Farming?
Go Pug.
