It’s still not designed, a little rough around the edges, but I will now be able to have total control over it, instead of having to content with a complete design that’s not exactly the way I want it. Welcome! And don’t forget to change your links.

Guess we should have learned by now that when Blizzard states they are changing how it works, but that the damage should still be about the same, they are lying.

1 single night left.

That’s the timelimit I have to get Glory of the raider and a 310% mount. I’ve been going at him for 4 hours every single night this week. We’re doing the speed kill version of it, and we’re really pushing it. We’ve had both a 2% and a 3% wipe. Both would have been kills if the tank hadn’t died at 15%.

I’m pushing my dps to the limit. 4.4K dps with BM spec on the 2% wipe. Not too shabby.

Tonight’s the night we’re gonna make it happen. I sure am glad I don’t live in the US where the patch is being applied as we speak.

This is also the reason why I’ve been a bit inactive with posting more Naxx tanking strats. Plus I have a guildie visiting over the easter, and he’ll probably stay until next weekend.

If you have a tanking article, or simply basic pointers, for a fight I have yet to cover, feel free to send it to me at spam(at)nightcrew.se. An example, hint hint, would be Durante writing about how he did the incredibly feat of tanking Sapphiron. I’d even dare say, it was quite the opposite of being vacuous.

Currently working on Sarth3D 10 man. Having a break now. Going decently. Some tries we’ve had enough dps for first drake, but others we’re just barely too late for whelps. Well, time to clear trash again, wish me luck.

But before ihlos takes over, I guess I’ll have to explain my name. As some of you know, my real name is Nordh. I changed it when I was 18-19 years old in respect to my dead grandfather, and because it simply sounds so much better than my old name. So I guess that explains the first part of Nordhbane. In fact, it explains pretty much all of my characters first part of their names, except for my lvl 72 hunter “Nordh” that doesn’t have any second part. =P

In my arsenal I only have 1 character that doesn’t have Nordh in it, and it’s a shammy called Nhaia. Me and my girlfriend has 3 accounts between us, and we invited a friend to start to play wow again, so we were playing 4 shammies (multiboxing). Nhaia (N as in Nordh), Chaia (C as in Celara, my GFs characters name), Jhaia (J as in our friend Johan) and Mhaia (M as in my two first pets that I’m still using from time to time, Maya and MayaII (original, huh?)).

But back to my main hunter, Nordhbane. When I had the game in my hands I decided that I would play a hunter, because of the pets. But I sat for probably half an hour on the character screen just looking at that dwarf and thinking… Nordh, I want Nordh in my name. I think it has a nice mythological aspect to it. And what’s better is that dwarves in Azeroth are resistant to the cold. I wanted something that my character could have been nicknamed by his peers. In the end I decided that Nordhbane would fit the purpose perfectly. He is the bane of the northern landscapes. He’s a survivor of the cold.

Now I guess it’s become a more realistic name. WoW with all it’s addictions, Nordhbane is just exactly that, the bane of me.

Some other character names of mine are:

• Nordhaim, hunter (I like this because it can be pronounced like Nord-haim and yet Nordh-aim would fit a hunter)
• Nordhemon, warlock (A play with letters)
• Nordhblast, mage (I’m not a big fan of this name as it’s my AoE frost grinding bot, or will become if I ever get it to 80. Blast and frost spec doesn’t go too well together)
• Nordhshine, priest (A play on words with the phenomena Aurora Borealis, while also a priest is something that would shine light upon people)

So I guess that’s how imaginative I am when it comes to character naming.
