Decided to change my last goal, as i lost a bit of interest in running outland at the moment, and want to prepare my main team for cata instead

================================================== =======================
NEW Goal 5: Up professions to 450
================================================== =======================
using the WoW Team Portal tool i realised my professions were a mess, I ditched a couple, took a couple new and am now trying to get them all to 450.
- Mining
- Herbalism x2 - done
- Skinning - done
- Alchemy
- Inscription - done
- Tailoring x2
- Enchanting
- Jewelcrafting

this seems more important than my original team#2 goal.

i just started mining and JC this weekend, and am trying to spend as little as possible on JC, so i'm only using whatever the miner gathers.
takes a while to run from node to node, that's for sure :-/


only 5 "Glory of the Hero" achievements left.
one trivial ("experienced drake rider"), a 3 that are mostly gear dependant (Watch him die, Volajz quick demise, make it count) and one that requires a good amount of luck /timing (less rabi)

i swear i must have tried Less Rabi 30-40 times (resetting when he gets a cast off) and it's really becoming a pain.
I think i just can't seem to find the correct moment to start my 5sec interrupt rotation on the shaman.
i kill him in ~35 seconds when i go full on. The first cast i interupt with the shaman, and he doesn't have a chance to cast another before 50%.
I get the 50% cast with the paladin, but by then i'm not sure when the 3rd cast will occur.
- is it 5 seconds after the 50% one? doesn't look like it.
- is 10 seconds after the pre-50% one? doesn't look like it
- is it any time after 50% and I should wait for it and not dps so that it's long enough to manually interupt? maybe, don't know.
- i also have a mage taht can silence,. It works well to interrupt, but i'm not sure whether the 8seconds silence throws the 5second-cycle out of not.
Any suggestions?


Watch him die i've tried about 15 times. Got him to ~4% (15k hp) one of the recent tries so i'm somewhat confident that i'll get him soon.

Volazj, i still need to up my dps (might get the healer to dps) as I can't seem to kill the shades during the insanity phase quick enough,.
I've tried the full on zerg to avoid insanities altogether and got him to 38% (33% needed) so getting there, but no cigar yet.

Make it count is a bit of a pain, mainly because i usually wipe once or twice on Eregos.
i have the 5 amber drake setup ready however now, and that's usually a 30second kill when i pull it off, so it's looking much better than my earlier 5min/8 min kills >.<
