Trashloot

Synopsis
Some mobs in Ulduar have guaranteed trash epix??? Do not miss them. Get em all!

---

Last wednesday when we were doing Ulduar 25 we went for Hodir. Now what happened there might be pure luck, a glitch or it might be intended.

The trash before Hodir consists of 4 different kinds of mobs:

1. small snakes that spawn from heaps of snow;
2. large stone elementals, who are accompanied by...
3. .. 3 smaller stone elementals;
4. big giants.

The first trash you encounter is such a giant. He dropped an epic.
Then a bit further in, the cave forks. At that point is the second giant. He dropped an epic.
Now here you go left, clear some other trash and you are at Hodir. WRONG! Go right. It is a dead end. No trash at all, except for 1 giant. And guess what? He dropped an epic too.

So whenever you are clearing towards Hodir, don't forget to clear the giant at the right.

Blogsourcing: How can I gain 118 times SD with 93 crits?

Synopsis
We switched from WWS to World of Logs. If looks much nicer. Was just looking at our 10 man Hodir wight where I was MT and noticed something weird about SD.

Here is the link:
Worls of Logs

If you look at the tab Buff Gained you will see that I have 118 times gained SD. If you look at damage done I did 93 crits.
Now 2 things can be here. 1 the data is not 100% correct. Though I find that strange. So how is it possible?

Also I can't find how often it is removed and total damage absorbed. Anyone less blind then me or is it not in there?

[edit]
Thanks to Yrkoonia; it is the lacerate ticks which in the statistics show no crits, just an average. 25 crits in 63 ticks seems about right.

Hey everybody come and see how great I look!

Synopsis
I GOT T8.5 !!!

---

Just a quick one. got little time. And any time I have I should be raiding but...


I am the first horde on the server to have t8.5 chest, together with a warrior from my guild. Probably the allied guild Revelations got that already. Good chance I am the first druid.
We killed Hodir. He was super easy really. First try we got him to 41%. We took him down third try. I MT-ed with full frost resistance (535).
Some DBM lag (I think) made the other tank die. I Taunted him off too late, though I taunted him as soon as possible. He was supposed to tank without much frost resistance. I don't know why we used 2 tanks to begin with. I tanked him solo the last 30%, though threat was a bit low (with 4 frost items with no offensive stats at all). But I held it ok.

More on Ulduar to come.

Status now: 6 bosses down. (Of course Heroic, what else is there).
First 2 bosses were server fists. The rest is horde first.
