The local mages guild #314 is issuing a magewide mandatory strike. They claim that groups and raids are trying to exclude mages while bringing in their pets for loot and funsies. This can not stand.
In protest, your dare is to use nothing but your level 4 pet spells for the entire week. (no pet spells but your level 4s. everything else is fine.)
Dare complete! If you haven't read the Story of Odyn's Marginally Successful Strike, you should do so.
But now to wrap things up:
The Mage strike was coming up on its last few days, and things were getting rough for Odyn. He hadn't gotten a group in a week, and had been sitting at exactly the same exp that he had been last week, this was upsetting to him.
Although he had learned a whole lot more about tanking during this strike.
And even his own guild was threatening to veto his existence, that mean ol' Shaltang!:
Alas, come Monday, the strike was still not over, yet grudgingly, Revelation was forced to bring Odyn and his entourage of depressingly tiny elementalkin to none other than Thazzeran's Tower!
First came Lower Thaz!:
To the Air Wing! Where it was learned that Wrath > Tyrsell!
Continuing on, Greed was not very good at dodging we soon found out. =(
Greed and Rakatheel prepare with their masters to go into valiant and glorious battle with the Air Mini!
And then a bear showed up.
A short while later, after summoning Envy, since Greed did not survive the Air mini's fight, we arrived at Eltrac Skycaller, the big cheese of the LT Air Wing! Envy was not looking forward to fighting his 'papa'. But he did it anyhow...cause I told him to. And to everyone's surprise- and Tyrsell's disdain- Envy decided he would not die to the being who gave him life!
Envy stands triumphant over the LT Air Wing!
And then suddenly a ranger says sheepishly, "What is Glacier?"
"OH SNAP!" Comes the response, and so we fought our way through water wing. Many water droplets and several Elementalkin later, we stood before a fully formed Glacier. Wrath decided he wanted to test his mettle against a being of pure cold water.
Unfortunately, Wrath did not survive the first AE, and fell in a 'spoit' of embers and ash, and then was quickly immersed in several gallons of water, completing Glacier's relentless catharthis of anything remotely warm in the UT Water Wing. But even doing this could not stop us from destroying him.
And then something unexpected happened.
An Immaculate Silk Robe dropped!
But who recieved it?!?!
The Magician's Strike was a complete success! They rewarded Odyn with loot despite the absence of Pride, proving that they did truly appreciate his contributions as a Magician, and not just the master of his Elemental Conjuring! They had to grudgingly accept that Magicians can indeed DPS very well, and that no matter how much they try to deck out Pride, or invite Pride to raids instead of Odyn, or even log Odyn on simply to use Pride, Odyn himself is still worth something. And that is what counts in the end.
¡Viva el Mago!
