WoW Journal - 31-July-2005

Raslebol did his first Stratholme raid last night. We fought our way from the entrance to the live side, and killed the postman there. Then we finished off the live side, killing cannon master Wiley and Balnazzar. I lost a roll for a 40 dps one-handed mace, but then won the roll for Balnazzar's Hammer of the Grand Crusader. Okay, okay, this is *not* exactly a warrior weapon. But it is dealing far more damage per second than anything else I have. I've had a guildmate put a +5 damage enchantment on it, finally found somebody selling dense weightstones and sharpening stones, and by all this significantly increased my damage output. The downside is that I cannot wear my shield and not use my shield-related talents if I use the hammer, but for farming lower level mobs it is pretty good.

Some of the raid group wanted to continue doing the undead side of Stratholme. But some didn't, and I had a headache and decided to leave too. Which lead to the comment that "tank is gone, raid is over", which made me feel pretty bad. We need a couple more warriors of level 60 in the guild, it puts too much pressure on me if I'm the only one online and the others can't raid without me.
