The Avatar of War went down to 55 shadow members tonight, increasing our AoW kill tally to two. This time our clerics ended the fight with at least 40m, the difference that levels and equipment made from 2 weeks ago on our first AoW kill, where the clerics ran out of mana near the end of the fight.



He dropped masks for Jarethsun and Chipp and a ring for Dare:

Fruity Ogres and Tunare's Reaction...Pikollo strategically positioned.



Tunare: Raylene and Aluu each with the awesome FT5 range item, Essence of Nature. Raizer on the Massive Heartwood Thorn, and Tunare finally coughed up a Fist of Nature, Congrats Haysoos! Edit by Soos: I won't let my monk brothers down. I hope to root multiple enraging mobs onto the rogues. Thank you.

An update is not complete without making fun of a paladin:



While, we're at it, let's take a moment to mourn the loss of the people who died to enrage at the AoW fight. We had one tanked him up till 20%, after the MA died and by the time Stevo took aggro, AoW was down to ~16%. Melee engage, and AoW enrages Stevo turns off attack, and the AoW turns towards the raid.



Squillari dies to AoW, I don't think there is a mob left on Norrath and Luclin that Squillari hasn't died too. Daisan died too, busy playing with his monkey to turn off attack most likely. Septum dies, a ranger using his melee attack instead of range, wtf?! Chipp uses his damage disc just as AoW turns, he was smart enough to turn off attack unlike Squillari, Daisan, and Septum. Talamanthalon, does a shit load of damage and is summoned and killed promptly! Pikollo calls enrage in guild chat AFTER rage is off.
