New guild, at least for the moment

I picked up (with hesitation) with a guild named Havok - they're old hands at TK, but have just gotten to SSC for some reason.

We went into SSC tonight and downed Hydross... for the first time, as it turned out. Hydross is sort of old hat for me, so it was strange to be with a group of people who'd never killed him as a guild before. Fun, in any case, and I started earning a little bit of DKP so I can bid on items in future raids.

For the moment, I think I'll be treating my Hunter as my main - the Warrior doesn't particularly need gear from early SSC, and Havok is heavy on tanks. I can't complain - tanking is an enormously stressful job, and I'm beginning to find the joy in playing the Hunter.

Particularly joyful are the boss fights where I can top the damage meters, despite lugging around a certain ugly crossbow and multiple green or blue items. It's really a testament to how overpowered a BM Hunter is when someone in mediocre gear can outperform others in full epics.

Here's the Hydross kill - I got pulled out of the stacked physical DPS group to provide Aspect of The Green Leaf Thing to the tanks, unfortunately. They'll learn that that's a mistake soon enough.



More raiding tomorrow; I'm hoping this guild will serve as at least a temporary home. Who knows, maybe it'll turn out to be even more than that.
