In My Absence…
Well it has been quite a while since I updated here (of course, that’s relative – in real time it has been a few weeks, but in blogosphere time it’s an eternity). I try not to blog from work anymore and most of my spare time at home is spent playing WoW or taking care of the family, so there’s not much time for this humble blog. So to the two of you who actually read Cloth & Plate, I’m sorry. You know who you are 
Patch 3.1, eh? Argent Tourney, Ulduar, two talent point refunds (caught more than a few people with their proverbial pants down that one). Lots of stuff going on but, since it has already been covered by far better bloggers than I, I will focus on what I have been doing.
Palithras has been getting a lot of love lately. Our guild has allied with a number of other guilds to help getting raids together. There is a great bunch of folks from Heaven’s Breach that tend to raid 10 mans at a time that suits both me and The Wife, so that has been fun. Plus our home guild has been scheduling 25-man Naxxramas for our weekend which means I have managed to log a few hours in there as well.
Not to mention a quick jaunt into Ulduar for the first boss, where I got to drive a demolisher. Most. Fun. Ever. Here is a small excerpt from the battle:
Raid Leader: OK, so are we clear on the strat?
Palithras: Yeah…but just to clarify something: I get to fling my passenger at the boss?
RL: Yes.
Pal: Literally hurl my passenger from a catapult?
RL: Yes.
Pal: And he’s just going to climb into the catapult voluntarily? No whips or cattle-prods?
RL: Yes.
Pal: And my passenger is a Warlock?
RL: /sigh Yes. In this case. Any other questions?
Pal: So I get to put a Warlock into a catapult, aim him at the side of a giant metal steam-tank and hurl him bodily at the boss…and then someone is going to pick him up and give him back to me so I can do it again?
RL: YES!
Pal: /weep. It’s like all my Christmases have come at once!
Thanks Jaydizzle – you were awesome! You can be my wingman (or catapult ammo) anytime
ERRATA: Jaydizzle is a Warlock, not a Hunter as I had first posted. Mucho apologies, amigo.
