Super mega gear time!

Lleu gets one day a week where his wife takes care of baby BRC and he gets to game. This week we decided to get as much gear as possible before hitting Kara hard again since we're still getting flak from a couple of guildies about being BM spec. We haven't had a marathon like this in some time: Durnholde, Arcatraz, Steam Vaults, Black Morass, Steam vaults again. Through all of those Lleu saw no drops at all.

Finally Backpacks logs in and we get a Heroic Mech run going. After a bit of character shuffling we finally get going with Lleu, Backpacks, Dezzi, a Warlock, and a Holy Paladin. The Warlock was in all epics, but more on that later. We were there for Sun Eater for Backpacks. Instead, Handguards of the Steady dropped. We'll take it!

Ok, Lleu is tired and is going to bed. What's that Dezzi? You've got a Durnholde group? Fine I'll go but it has to be quick. The second boss dropped the Greaves of Patience. Yes, yes Lleu does need those. Thank you. Last boss down *now* Lleu is going to bed.

"Hey Lleu, you still need Steamvaults right? Cause I've got a group for it." Dezzi says. Hmm, it's 12:45am. Mini Me will be up in 6 hours.... Plenty of time to run Steam Vaults!! It was by far the worst group of the night. Then tank was only a tank by name. Slappy took more damage and got more heals. After several wipes on the first boss we almost called it. Dezzi wanted to hang out and hit revered though so we stayed. Last boss, o....m....g. The Beast Lord Mantle!!!

What Dezzi? Now you've got a Mechanar group?? No. We're going to bed.

With all the new gear we actually dropped in DPS and was a bit bummed about it but our crit went up so we felt it was a good trade of. Waking up yesterday we realized that the assault enchant on our gloves, Cobra armor on our legs and the attack power enchant from Aldor on our shoulders were all gone. After putting those back on Lleu is sitting at 304 DPS unbuffed and 317 with AotH. With an extra 1.5% crit. Slappy is doing 155 DPS. If our damage now doesn't impress the naysayers we're going to stop trying.
