Elder Tribunal enjoys a threesome

No matter where you go, that's where you are.

Buckaroo Banzai


With our intrepid guild leader on vacation (again), we decided to rock the house. On Tuesday we downed Ony and then ran over to MC, clearing thru Shaz. By that time many a pillow was calling for company and we decided to call it.

On Wednesday we resumed MC feeling much refreshed, except for Iceweasel who had to go get coffee of course, and finished clearing MC with less than 40 peeps the whole time. With Ony up again, we decided to go persuade her to cough up her loots. So those of us able to stay, 35 peeps, ran over and ganked that ho.




Three Bosses in two days, Awesome job ET !

Ragnaros doused

Complaining is good for you as long as you're not complaining to the person you're complaining about.

Lynn Johnston


Okay, so it's been a while since I've put up an update. ET's been far from idle, we've downed Ragnaros several times, Onyxia several more, and we've started working on Razorgore in earnest.

The good news is that there will soon be more folks posting updates. This will hopefully keep our homepage more fresh (actually it's mostly so folks will stop bugging me about it).

Anyhow, kick ass job the last month ET! Below is a pic of our first Ragnaros kill.

Majordomo falls!

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

Herm Albright


Last night we finally managed to down Majordomo Executus by ourselves! While we've known this was coming for a while, it was impressive that we had a full raid on a Wednesday and pulled off the 'domo kill with very few mistakes. Great job folks! Ragnaros is next, get your fire resist gear!

Hakkar down!

Without an adversary prowess shrivels. We see how great and efficient it really is only when it shows by endurance what it is capable of.

Seneca


Last night we had our best run in ZG to date. We started up, moved fast, and cleared the five High Priests, Bloodlord, and Hakkar in 3:28. It was not only our best time, it was also our overall best effort. Everyone was focused, folks were having fun, good WoW was played. I'm really pleased that we got all of that done, the last several weeks we've had no luck on Hakkar as the server problems have routinely prevented us from attempting him, or they've screwed up our attempts when we have had a shot.

Anyhow, great job ET! It was a victory well earned. Loots were:


Heart of Hakkar
Soul Corrupter's Necklace
The Eye of Hakkar

Modified AddOns to support Block

If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts.

Albert Einstein


Here are links to modified versions of TheoryCraft and TankPoints that I've made. The TheoryCraft changes were to add support for ZG enchants in determining block value and a corrected strength formula for block. The changes I made to TankPoints builds off of the work Kinesia did and simply uses TheoryCraft to calculate block value (since it's a pain in the ass to do).

Anyhow, enjoy them warriors (and feral druids). They should provide a much more accurate representation of blocking. Note that TheoryCraft is required for this version of TankPoints - sorry, too much of a hassle to pull out the equipment parsing code. However, TheoryCraft is really sweet and shows you an accurate calculation of how much damage your abilities will do, and will learn mob armor values. It also allows you to see how much more damage you'd do by adding strength, agility, etc.
