Day 3289 - Battle for Azeroth Day 587

Just before the weekly reset, I went ahead and tanked a Junkyard M+13.  It doesn't feel that difficult when the rest of the group is properly geared.  I also got new weapons for the Horde side as one of their emissary is for weapon.

Day 3288 - Battle for Azeroth Day 586

After 2 hours of wiping, we managed to get Heroic N'Zoth down.  I got a helm that's good for tanking, but didn't get the two handed sword that all strength based DPS wants.  At least I got the Ahead of the Curve achievement and the mount.

Now onto other things.

The I join the PUG group and gotten one belt upgrade that I can actually use.  I also managed to get a Azerite chest that also get used in other spec.  We spend about 30 minutes on N'Zoth in heroic.  We're doing a third day just on N'Zoth later today.

Day 3285 - Battle for Azeroth Day 583

I managed to get one of the mount from Uldum outdoor boss, only took 5 characters this time around.  Still waiting for the pet that could spawn from the other bug boss.  The Priest managed to get it just prior to the raid.

The daily emissary is for 2k gold, so I got all 14 of the Alliance characters through their pace and finished up the Black Empire Assault for the remaining ones.

I got 11 of the characters through their Black Empire Assault for the week done.  Some of them even got enough currency to buy their 2nd rank 3 essence.

Day 3282 - Battle for Azeroth Day 580

On the last day of the raid week, I did a couple of runs of Junkyard and Freehold.  Junkyard to try getting the dps trinket and Freehold for the mount.  Of course, I didn't get any of those.

Day 3278 - Battle for Azeroth Day 576

Unlike last week, the PUG group managed to get Vexiona down in the first day.  I managed to get the Wraithion trinket from someone already having it.  In all, a good night.

Day 3277 - Battle for Azeroth Day 575

I tried and failed a 5 mask run as DPS.  Guess I'm going to have to stick to going protection spec in the future.  I also saw Solar Spirehawk on the Black Market Auction House.  I know this is going to be expensive, so I send the funds from all of my alts to the main characters and set timer to start the bidding war.  Albeit, it stay 250k for better part of the whole day before going into bidding war in the last 10 minutes.  The final price is 2.9m, not the most expensive mount I've ever bought (the auction house mount), but this means I'll never have to go back to Draenor again for any more outdoor mount again.

The new raid week came with a bunch of changes.  I quickly got the cloak upgraded to rank 15, last 3 runs with 2 masks, getting more loots.

Day 3275 - Battle for Azeroth Day 573

On the last day of the raid week, I managed to get 2 more Freeport out of the way, still no mounts.  I also finished up the starter essence quest for my 2 newest Alliance characters and got them to rank 4.

I also got the characters through their weekly minor assaults done.  Once again, not much gears upgrade.

The raid group managed to go through the boss we spend one hour on Thursday, Vexiona.  We still have to spend an hour on her, but down we did manage.  We also down the dog boss and spend the rest of the time working on the Tentacle boss Drest'agath.  By that time, we have already have quite a few turnovers and we managed to get 3 pulls on it.  Still good progress, and I'm a couple of bosses away from building the newer level of engineering goggles.

Day 3271 - Battle for Azeroth Day 569

The pug group that I run the raid with have decided to run Heroic.  The group managed to get all of the previous boss we did last week.  We spend the rest of the night working on Vexiona, which doesn't have any new mechanics, but does have quite a bit of mechanics and dps check.  We managed to get to the final phase, and should get her down on Saturday.

I did get a direct upgraded trinket without bonus roll off Xanesh, which should help out on my future runs in Horrific Vision.  I tried doing a 3 mask run of Horrific Vision, and all was going well until I got punted into unintended packs of mobs in the Drag.  I'll be holding off on doing them as Blizzard have changed how the gears that can drop from doing the vision will be guarantee to have corruption effect.  I'll still do the cloak upgrade, but that's for another time.

And I managed to finish the Titan Research on the Paladin.  Next stop is the backpack transmog.

Day 3270 - Battle for Azeroth Day 568

I actually managed to go and tanked Junkyard +11.  Much easier when everyone actually follows the instruction.  I was wearing my Horrific Vision dps tanking set and I did fine.  After doing Freehold on 2 different Mythic difficulty, I went ahead and catched up with the last 2 single masks, which are the hard one.  The first one I tried is the Long Night, which reduced the sanity by 50%.  Oddly, I was geared enough to not require full restoration of sanity when I reach the final boss and I only put it down to speed up the fight.  The Daredevil mask increases sanity damage by 400%.  Much easier than Long Night, and was able to do most of it without full restoration.  With that out of the way, I should contemplate 2-3 masks next.

Day 3269 - Battle for Azeroth Day 567

I got an iLevel 460 belt with socket that also have Twilight Devastation 2, which I happily applied to the DPS protection set for doing Horrific Vision.  After doing the weekly assaults and dailies, I headed for the 3 Horrific Vision to upgrade cloak to level 14.  I have 2 more Titan research left and then I'm ready to buy the cosmetic appearances.

After I finished that, I signed up for a Mechagon Junkyard.  Unfortuantely, the people there seem to not want to do the mechanics.  Still we did finish it.

Day 3268 - Battle for Azeroth Day 566

I got the various alts straighten out and even put them in a spreadsheet.  This is to better divide up the armor tokens to the right member.

After that, I signed up as dps for Freehold+5.  Unfortunately, the 'tank' quit after 1 pull.  So we went ahead and finished up the run with me going outside and switch to tanking spec.  It does give me a chance to test out the newer DPS tanking gear setup.

Day 3267 - Battle for Azeroth Day 565

I got all of the characters through their main assault run for the week.  All but the 2 new characters now have their neck level at 75 with 3 minor traits available.  This should help out a bit.

I managed to run all but 3 of my characters through Heroic Dark Shore, and for a change, some of the characters got significant upgrade, such as Hunter and Death Knight both getting iLevel 460 weapons.

The raid group managed to finished up the last 2 boss in the normal instance, and we have plenty of time to go to heroic version to give it a fair shot.  We finish 4 bosses.  No loot though.

Day 3264 - Battle for Azeroth Day 562

Doing a bit of experiment.  I created a dps-bias protection paladin set and run the mask that carried double madness effect for a full single mask clear.  I was able to get to the final boss with about 70% sanity.  I could've gotten to that without using the final orb, but I was playing it safe.  One more mask left and I'll have all of the mask 5 chest run, albeit, this one is for the 400% sanity damage, which is one of the harder one.

Day 3263 - Battle for Azeroth Day 561

The weekly box yielded stuff that's not quite useful.  Just to be on the safe side, I ran the weekly event and got pretty much the same kind of gear out of it.  The cloak upgrade this week required two runs of Lost areas, and this week is Stormwind, which tends to be much harder than Orgrimmar.  I didn't run with faceless mask just to get the upgrade done.  Later in the week, I'll try getting that done.

I didn't do much on the last day of the raid week.  I ran a couple of Mythic+, mostly just for mounts.

I managed to get the Horde Demon Hunter attuned to the 8.3 content.  And then I went ahead and get the characters to run through Horrific Visions.  I'm trying to at least get them up to rank 8.

Despite the lackluster first day of raiding, we managed to finished the raid run ahead of schedule.  A good deal of that is that we're already somewhat familiar with the N'Zoth encounter, and we didn't spend the whole night just on that boss.  I managed to bonus rolled the N'Zoth 2 hander with corruption effect.
