My First Kirin Burn

To start off the evening I had a bunch of RL stuff to do ... again. But once I got done with that I got a chance to log on and chat with some friends while playing RB2 (GOT MY SOUND GUY) and then headed back out to volleyball. I ROCKED in volleyball again btw. :D

Once I got home it was time for gods. This was going to be my first time with gods in LolFail. Started with Seiryu which was pretty easy, just bound him on his 2hr and we were fine and it surprisingly went well and people disengaged on it in time too. Then we moved on to Suzaku which went well but not as smoothly as one would hope because a few people died from his 2hr because people were really slow on unlocking from him. Those two were pretty easy though, but the real test was up next. It was time for Byakko which I figured would actually let me know how good this LS was. I must admit, Byakko went very smoothly, probably more smoothly than the other two actually. One thing I must say I was impressed with was people were actually on top of the paralynas. Oh, and to top it off, Haidate dropped so that is another person out of the kitty pants line.

Now we move on to the main event, my first Kirin burn. So I actually got to come on my WAR/SAM which was REALLY surprising because my WAR isn't all that well geared especially because Disdain has some of my gear still, like my assault earring and someone else has my chiv chain. Oh well, I swore I wouldn't dump any gil into my WAR until I got Byakko's Haidate which I am sticking to. I will put some more effort into it when I actually have the gil to put into it, like actually lotting on some Heca gear. But back to what I was talking about, the Kirin burn. Each party had a WHM, a BRD, and 4 DD. We did a few practice runs to get the BRDs around to each party with songs gotten out. Its a good thing they did the practice runs because the first try was terrible, and the 2nd one Sush d/c'd, but it was better on the 3rd, and the 4th was when we actually went. I didn't actually parse it but I feel that I did a pretty good job, even without using Mighty Strikes which looking back I should have done. Once the BRDs finished their songs Sush popped Kirin and we just rocked Kirin. His 2hr didn't even kill anyone which was VERY surprising, and no one died at all because the whm nailed benediction right on time. Sadly no W. Legs dropped but N Body and Osode dropped which were both very welcome since that knocks people down in points a lot which brings me up ever so slightly.

Overall it seems like this could be a fun LS to be in. And to be perfectly honest, I was happy for the people that got the drops. I didn't get anything but I don't really expect to be in contention for anything for another week or two. It was a good feeling though to be able to help other people out and get them what they want/need to better gear their jobs. I would be lying if I didn't say it was a good feeling to have myself move that much closer to getting gear for myself too. For this LS I think I will do the smarter thing and instead of just sitting on points like I always used to do I plan on getting what I can, while I can. Although, some of this gear seems to be almost free dropping which would cut the point costs greatly so I may just stick to hoping they free drop to me for a minimal point loss.

Tonight is more RL stuff and then more sky. I may actually try to gear up my PLD tonight too. PLD will be my next job and I might as well get it ready because next week I will have oodles of more free time which means I can go exp again. I guess I will shoot for PLD at 50 by the end of next week maybe since my gf will be around this weekend and then I will have sky stuff late nights which is usually when I get the most exp in.

I love French wine, like I love the French language. I have sampled every language, French is my favorite. Fantastic language. Especially to curse with. Nom de dieu de putain de bordel de merde de saloperie de connard d'enculé de ta mère. It's like wiping your arse with silk. I love it.
