What’s the first thing you’d do after a five-month hiatus?
I headed out for a test drive. After picking up the Black Bruise and Keleseth’s Seducer in April, a new job and new time constraints meant I had no more time for raiding, and I decided to take a break.
When I logged in last night and checked the character pane, I saw the icons and remembered: Hey, I’ve got a pair of bad-ass fist weapons here!
Some old-school friends were starting up a late 10-man ICC run, and we ran a quick six-boss gauntlet. Here are the numbers:
Gear Score: 5784
DPS: 9772.3
Buffs: Improved Might, Kings, MotW (scroll), Fish Feast, Intellect, no flask.
For half the raid, it was an alt run, so the context may be a bit skewed. The 9777 DPS was good for second on the meter, behind a very solid Elemental Shaman friend who has a heroic weapon and the four-piece set bonus.
Which I still don’t have. But, hey, Cataclysm might be here in less than two months, so what’s the worry?
