Regrua claws...All bakers want them and I'm not an exception.
My guild recently managed to down Rallos Zek the Warlord on Xegony and the two bakers in the guild with spoons (I being one of them) decided that we wanted to hunt in PoW and get some claws for the party platters. Luckily for us we're in a guild that is happy to oblige and we set up an xp group to go down and kick some crabby butt.
First night we took the long way. Tarean (the other spoon wielder and a warrior) was our tank and I was playing cleric as usual (as usual meaning I am a cleric). Things went great until we got to the crabs, we had a great group but lacked an FD puller...First pull we got two and wiped. 30 minutes later I rezzed everybody at the graveyard and we called it a night.
Our second time down the enchanter (who was with us the first night) had done some reasearch and we pretty much just invised to them and set up camp. We'd brought along a monk this time so he ran out and pulled.
Regrua Sentry incoming! Blam blam, Tarean is going down faster than a cheesecake that got the oven door slammed on it..CH lands for 7500, we win, claws drop! YAY for Tarean! We were feeling emboldened by our easy victory (well, not easy but we won) so we moved a bit futher down. Next inc, blam blam, CH's are much smoother this time since I'm somewhat used to the mobs quadding my tank for 1200. Another victory and score two claws for da Chak.
We progressed like this for about an hour or so when the Shaman had to go afk. No biggie, only five minutes. Well, the enchanter decided to go afk as well to help his father with something. Again, no biggy, was just gonna take a few minutes.
The Regrua Sentry repops and start meandering over toward us. The tank, Tarean, whips out his Truncheon of Doom and nails evasive. Lucky proc and the mob is slowed (remember, both slowers are afk at this point in time). He switches out to his 2hs and goes to town. Our monk starts the beatdown. The Mage sends in his pet then nails the swarmpet AA..then he proceeds to nuke like a madman. I'm busting out Supernal Exilers to keep the tank steady between CH's (these fights, even with a 9k tank (unless he's in disc) pretty much consist of chaining CH's until the mob or your tank dies) and even hit DVA to help out a bit.
Mob is down to 10...5...0...bling! We killed a quad 1200 mob with four people and no slowers. I've never been so proud of my guildmates. I know my little post doesn't do it justice..and for that I'm sad. It was the shining star to cap a perfect night in the Reef of Coirnav. Tarean and I both walked out with 12 claws each, a few AA's, and some great memories. I wasn't able to keep everybody alive. Tarean died once, Nablzin (the mage) died once, and Eldaar (the shaman) died like 3 times due to EB troubles...But the sense of accomplishment was tremendous.
I haven't been in Machin Shin very long, just a few months really, but I've watch us as a guild go from killing various named in Ssra to killing the Emp, to clearing Vex Thal, to killing Rallos Zek and Solusek Ro. That night seemed like magic. Truly the kind of thing that made EverQuest a great game years ago, and I'm happy that I got to experience the feeling of wonder at exploring and feeling so much pride at doing something new yet again.
Thanks for listening
