ZA rush stands for Zealous Adrenaline!

Tonight i was invited to the timed ZA run to get a chance to roll for the mount.

In all honesty, I'm not too fussed about getting the actual mount -it's only been a short while that i've been in the guild, so i'm quite content to miss out on it for a while.
What i was happy about was being invited to go. Going on a ZA run means complete dedication. No bullshit, 100% dps, and no going afk!

So, my usual, pratting-around self went out the window tonight, i donned (reluctantly) my reading glasses, put the earphones in to block out the missus (should do that more often :P) and cleared the bogeys out my nose. (we all love a good pick mid fight) lol

There we were, slaughtering our way through countless trolls (Blizz, give up with the damned troll instances, theyre driving me nuts -and naga for that matter) and hastily killing off helpless scouts. -Who need to do some training or something, those weeds! We clipped the wings of the eagle boss in great time, and made our way to the bear. Well, he went down too, with BEARly any problems, (get it? lol) apart from a lay on hands, but that wasn't even noticeable afterwards.

Next came the dragonhawk boss. Now there's always something ive noticed about this boss, and it's that people forget that they need to space out incase of the flame-breath it does. Not really much of a problem here, and it was nice to be kept on my toes!

Actually, the gauntlet up to the dragonhawk boss was where i fucked up. The problem is, i didnt prepare my ui properly beforehand. You see, i have a crazy custom ui (il post it sometime) that involves a set amount of buttons near the centre of my screen, and kidney shot (stun) wasn't one of them! This is because i usually don't stun during raids. This is either done by Crimson (because he's a bit more of a BT and MH mob expert than myself, and also because im bloody useless at it lol) or i don't do it at all. Therefore Cloak of Save gets priority there.

Anyway, i digress. I didnt stunlock the fire-blechers at the right time, it volleyed the raid, and killed two unsuspecting gulides. Was only a set-back mind you!

We did this really clever trick tonight that i'd only ever seen performed by this guild. (lets face it... my other guilds could only do bear or eagle on timed and no more) Basically it involves jumping through a couple of windows after taking an invis pot to get to the fourth boss quicker.

Genius!

Halazzi got his ass handed to him... Literally. with mere minutes on the clock, we rushed into him, and creamed the guy in three minutes. We had seconds left, possibly under ten!

So, without a doubt, it was a damned brilliant experience. With the whole raids heart pounding, and the adrenaline rushing through everyone, Arc recieved the bear mount, with a nice roll of 78.

Congratulations Arc, and congratulations to all!
