Howdy!
As I understand it there's going to be "blue" runs this weekend, starting today (sunday) and tomorrow. Well, I don't know about blues, but I've got 7-8 quests in Sunken Temple that I'd like to get done. It would probably level me, and get me some good gear for faster leveling.
I know Zaidhe said last night he'd try to come today, anybody else? Guire is going to try and be here around 8-9pm server, and he'd help then. But we'll need more than that!
If there's a good time for it, let me know and I'll try to be here.

Last night several of us gave this instance a shot. It was a comedy of errors that actually turned out to be what I'd call a "successful" run under the circumstances.
Guire, Kyran, SaintDaniel, Warlexis and I started this instance at about 9:00 server. Warlexis left us a short time later to hit up Scholo as we were clearing out the "minibosses" around the ring for my Voodoo feathers. With that done, we headed down to the basement (where we lost Guire to some Out of Game responsibilities). With SaintDaniel healing, Phil and his pet offtanking and a LOT of coordination, we managed to light up to Altar of Hakkar and take down the Guardian boss, 3 man style.
We only wiped twice, once due to a bad pull that resulted in pulling the Guardian, a Lurker, An Ooze and a Worm, and once when a Patrol rolled through while we were fighting a larger group of mobs. All-in-all I think it went well. Kyran's use of the raid markers over Bosses heads really helped me organize who was doing what (Sheep the Diamond, offtank the disk, I take the skull, etc). SaintDaniel really showed the flexibility of the Paladin class on this run, OffTanking for crowd control when needed and working as Main Healer. It's not a dress, Dan, it's a KILT!
For those that came along, great run! I had a blast. If you have any feedback (positive or negative) for me, please feel free to leave it here or hit me up In Game. The more feedback I get, the better I tank.

never mind the exclusion of the fact there has been at least one or more runs between your two posts, such a dark picture you paint

I apologize if this came off as a "dark picture". I honestly didn't mean it that way. I really do appreciate all the help that EVERYONE has been giving me over the last few months, especially yours.
Last night was the first Guild run that I've really taken charge and both lead the run and filled the role of Main Tank and I was looking to both commemorate the occasion with what I meant to be a light-hearted post, and get feedback on my "work".
You speak true, though, and it does deserve mentioning that Zaidhe, Sufferings and Del/Ore took SaintDaniel (55? Pallie) and I(51 Warrior) through DireMaul East late Tuesday evening. It was a great run, and I had a blast. It really solidified in my mind that as much as I LOVE the help, it's stupid hard holding Aggro off 60's at 51!
Also, this past weekend Zaidhe, Sufferings and Kyran took me on my first adventure into Sunken Temple. We downed Hakkar and I think we got all the Dragons too. It was a GREAT run and I got some awesome gear out of it. Without this run we wouldn't have been successful as we were last night, as Phil and I would have had no idea how to handle the instance.
Ordinarily I'd ask for feedback on my tanking, but I didn't do much of it on those runs, just because the level difference was so high I couldn't hold aggro. Poor excuse, I know.

What's jacked up about it?
Presuming it's supposed to be a picture of Zaidhe sitting on some kind of throne with what looks like a Paladin saying "Nooo!" in the foreground it displays fine. The text on the right and left corners is a bit faded out. Maybe it's a computer setting, Raw?

Maybe it's a computer setting, Raw? Nope. It's jacked up on my pretty, sweet rendering intel iMac too. The font is blurred, and the shiny blurred and distorted object at the bottom is a paladin? Didn't see that, or the voice bubble until Viracnis mentioned it. But now that the blurry thing has been explained to me, it's the coolest sig EVER.
