Matt’s Notebook: Bandit Down, on to Mug’zee!

I don’t know what else to say! It seems like the finish line is almost in sight. Last Call clears One Arm Bandit on the first raid night, and we’re moving on to Mug’zee. This is one of the last obstacles left in the raid that will be the most challenging. We don’t have a Prot Paladin. I decided to switch back from my Elemental Shaman to my Ret Paladin for this one so I can crack mines on the 1st and 3rd set. We were trying to solve and work a second mine sequence with tanks, two monks, and a hunter, but the timing just was too much to get through. Our plan for the upcoming weekend is to attempt it with two tanks (and I cast Blessing of Protection on the second tank). We’ve seen the charge phases a small handful of times. Might be able to get CE for this team shortly into July!

  • Last Call is going to have a few departures at the end of the season, but everyone’s committed to at least trying to see through Gallywix. There are going to be some challenging roster holes to fill. I can’t exactly recruit heavily because we’re so close to the end, and I don’t want to jeopardize the roster stability too much unless there’s a clear decline in play over the next few weeks. I think we can kill it with what we have, especially when assisted by the upcoming buffs.
  • Meanwhile, in DJs, we’re officially in steady state form as we’ve cleared the whole instance in one night, thereby giving us the second night off. Pretty damn good, if I do say so myself. Now our remaining time is spent on just working on different characters for the future main swaps and evaluating trials.
  • Our 6th Cartel Chip comes out this week, and it’s easy pickings for what to buy. I grabbed a Mythic Jastor’s Diamond on my Priest, and a Mythic House of Cards on my Shaman. Wasn’t able to get much of anything on my Ret Paladin as I haven’t knocked out any bosses that warranted a Cartel Chip purpose, so I’m planning to sit on it for now.
  • I tried the Dastardly Duos stuff a couple of times but it didn’t really hold my attention for long. It was a nice distraction, I suppose.

That’s all for this week! See you Thursday for another post!
