A week or so since last I wrote, been a busy one. At the moment I am loosing gaming time due to the wonderful world of having a job. It is a horrible thing I know, but alas it is so. At 28, actually very close to 29, but want another go in Nouhonen traing Camp before I outlevel it. Migth see if I don't fraps a little there as well, just for the fun of it :)

It's a good instance, but as any instance it can be a nightmare with a PUG which I got to experience yesterday. It did cost me a few K kinah and a litle exp, but it happens. Nothing more I'll worry about now. I took the lead and lead well I would say. Only took a few pulls before things started happening however, our best friend the pug Assassin strikes out with an awesome pull of a mob with the miniboss right by, the result being all the elites was called and we was wiped except the cleric which ran like mad, and rightly so.

We res up and rest up our health while waiting for Soul Sickness to wear off. we get buffs up and I mark the next pull and implore people to wait until they've moved from the platt form before attacking. This is the moment the Gladiator choses to find out what that clickable thing on the artifact is and runs up to click it... You guessed it, the boss aggro's of course and with him all the remaining elites. Another heroic death in a blaze of gory stupidity later the group blames the Assassin and the Gladiator Ragequits due to the incompents idiots in the group and leaves.

Some 20 minutes later what I claimed about 29's not being able to run the instance is proven true and we continue.

The artifact is taken down after people started to finally listen to instructions and one dead Assassin later we move to the gates. We enter the first gates and wait a few seconds for the roaming patrol to come which it promptly does. A little messy, but it's taken down reasonably easy.

Next the miniboss drake is targeted and I say how I'll tank it. I wait until I see all is in place and pull it, position it and my god if the ranger haven't pulled the elite Recondo above the main gates.... However the flying fuck that was accomplished I don't want to know, but a nicely cooked Ranger later I pickup the Recondo and hold it while the drakes bites the dust. The assassin of course manages to die somehow, so I get to dps the last % on the drake and the Recondo on my own pretty much.

The door is next, which we in our awsomeness pwn with ease. The elites that charge out is picked up by the awesome Templar in the group and it's all good from there. The rest goes pretty much flawless from there on in. Of course the stupid ass of a general (understanably so) think we're too patethic to drop any loot and we leave his rotting corpse for the carrion worms to feed on.

After that the group want to kill some more elites for the exp, but either in pure irony or frustration I make a mother of stupidity pull and wipe us nice and proper. At least we end as we start I suppose.
