You are so the shizzle.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  Many thanks. <div></div>

[megatra]

<DIV>I'm starting to get some myself. Guild changed loot policy from DKP to old fashioned "award after raid to an attendee" which I like much better, being an extremely active raider. Last night we took down Vaz'Gok and got me a Hammer of Ringing Blows. Pretty decent 1 hander. Other than that I have some other randomed fabled on me.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Fabled stuff helps but means nothing for raids unless you have a strategy. Gear is secondary to tactics.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[DUNN]

I dop understand thereis fabled before 50 but how does that gear afeect us now that we have more access to it.  Before we only had 1 maybe 2 sometimes none and it wasn't till 50 that we bwean to completley outfit ourselves in it.  I am just asking  what your thoughts aree about you abilities now that you posses them and how does t change the perceptions of Sk as a tank with it?

[Exmortis_MT]

<P>Very good list.  Seen some of that drop, but fabled is so [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] rare, is just a fable, it dont exist lol.</P> <P>DKP to assign?  Id take a points system anyday, but thats my opinion.</P> <P> </P>

Added to that they were up for bid for 3 days so that is a delay that isn't too good to have. Now stuff is given out after raids and a major factor is recent attendance. It is drawing more people to come raid and is working very well so far in getting us geared up.</DIV>

I also discovered the Ice Prism Chestplate on my server, dropped by Snowflake. I wonder just how rare it is for him to drop a master chest. Interesting.

[megatra]

<DIV>Got these in Spirits of the Lost the other day- server discoveries for each. When your guild raids this zone, I recommend you go because this armor drops alot. It was my lucky day I must say <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> They came off 2 back to back named ^^^ epic Amygdalon's down bottom in those rooms where the Steel Golem can spawn (in actual CT). They have SK/Zerker written all over them!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><IMG src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v137/kamachi81/pics/legs.jpg"><IMG src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v137/kamachi81/pics/bp.jpg"></DIV> <P>Message Edited by megatraum on <SPAN class=date_text>07-25-2005</SPAN> <SPAN class=time_text>08:40 AM</SPAN></P><p>Message Edited by megatraum on <span class=date_text>07-25-2005</span> <span class=time_text>08:41 AM</span>
