We “knocked out” Knock, Knock, Vezax hard and Flame Leviathan four tower since my last update…

My kill shots weren’t saved to disk, so just imagine a bunch of people standing in front of me, a few people pointing the wrong way and a bunch of particle effects going off.

Don’t you mess around with me!

Man, the 80s were lame (1979, technically). Also we did this on Tuesday I’ve just been slacking on the update.

Dumb Quotes

We knocked out a couple more hard modes in the last few days, but due to a new computer and our website’s hard drive having a catastrophic failure I’ve been unable to update until now. We choose this guy:

Then we saw this sign and had to head on over to see what its about:

There was much rejoicing:

Also we wasted some time and money and got another feather in our cap of pointless Thunderfurys:

Loot from Steelbreaker (I guess he likes gloves):

Belt of Colossal Rage - Grats Egokiller
Handguards of the Enclave - Grats Ketrew
Runeshaper’s Gloves - Grats Sillyboy
Insurmountable Fervor - Grats Aramul

And from Hodir:

Conqueror’s Darkruned Battleplate - Grats Archadius
Frostplate Greaves - Grats Lotharius
Conqueror’s Aegis Tunic - Grats Lotharius
Staff of Endless Winter - Grats Epiphani

And the real star…

Dumb Quotes

We polished off hard-mode Thorim tonight with a bit of effort. First fun/marginally challenging fight of the instance really. No clever picture today, still recovering from having to come up with something for every boss in the instance in a week and a half…

Loot was:

Conqueror’s Cowl of Sanctification - Grats Pyram
Conqueror’s Scourgestalker Headpiece - Grats Dochalliday
Pauldrons of the Combatant - Grats Seyah
Scale of Fates - Grats Animosity

Dumb Quotes

We spent the last couple nights with Yogg, that black-sheep of the old-god pantheon. The one that Mama Tentacle always chides, “why can’t you be more like your brother C’thun?” Those Freudian mother issues drove him a little insane and he turned urban subculture, B-movie acting and artificial mouth enhancement to try to fit in better:

Legions put him out of his misery.

Loot was:
Soulscribe - Grats Fowltempered
Chestguard of Insidious Intent - Grats Xylla
Conqueror’s Darkruned Pauldrons- Grats Frostfurby
Conqueror’s Kirin Tor Shoulderpads- Grats Epiphani

Dumb Quotes

Q: What do you call a boss whose trash is harder than he is?
A: General Vezax.

If this guy was hard I had this whole idea about doing a B-52s parody where he was called “Cock Blockster.” However, my rule of thumb is don’t spend longer on the kill graphic than it took us to learn the fight, so instead you get this:

Loot was:
The General’s Heart - Grats Ketrew
Grips of the Unbroken - Grats Shelendil
Metallic Loop of the Sufferer- Grats Gearhard

Dumb Quotes

Couple hours and Mimiron the crazy cyborg gnome goes down. Apologize to Alan Moore but your work has been bastardized again:

Loot was:
Conqueror’s Siegebreaker Handguards - Ketrew
Conqueror’s Gloves of Sanctification - Pyram
Insanity’s Grip- Grats Xerel

Stupid Quote

Busy week for Legions, busy week for our front page. We downed four new bosses again tonight. Rather than try to come up with something clever for each or make another stupid montage, I opted to give our readers some real insight into how Blizzard designs boss encounters:

Ignis

Thorim

Freya

Emalon (barely counts)

Again, showered with more loot than a new resto shaman in SWP:

Worldcarver - Grats Carissa
Wristguards of the Firetender - Grats Varmintii
Girdle of Embers - Grats Gares
Conqueror’s Aegis Faceguard - Grats Fruitloops
Leggings of Lost Love - Grats Lifeforce
Conqueror’s Aegis Helm - Grats Aramul
Conqueror’s Siegebreaker Legguards - Grats Ketrew
Conqueror’s Aegis Greaves - Grats Lotharius
Gauntlets of Ruthless Reprisal - Grats Egokiller

Next week, onward and upwards!

Another night, few more bosses down. Too many bosses this week, I’m out of clever commentary. Auriaya is buggy and poorly designed; having her four stupid trash cats respawn midfight is real fun.

Hodir on the other hand is the life of the party and always a cool dude to have around. HO-DIR: OH YEAH!!!

Auriaya

Hodir

Loot:

Platinum Band of the Aesir - Grats Ketrew
Unwavering Stare - Grats Periwinkle
Libram of the Resolute - Grats Aramul
Northern Barrier - Grats Ketrew

Conqueror’s Deathbringer Robe - Grats Blacksabath
Conqueror’s Aegis Breastplate - Grats Fruitloops

Finishing up the first week of 3.1 tomorrow (though to be fair, we’ve really only had about 3 days worth of raiding…)!
