For those of you who don't know him, meet my little man:
(He says "Hiiii!!!!!")
When camping Madexx, I wanted green. However, quoth someone on these forums, "Madexx knows all", and blue I was given after a bothersome camp. I didn't like him, I admit. But that didn't stop little Ruchy. My boyfriend helped me name him (after a star) and from the first dungeon I took him in - you know, the "bond test" run? - and his first little Mexican wave wiggle, I knew he was a keeper. This was further affirmed a while later during the whole common-spawn-Madexx-colour "scare" when I realised I didn't even care if he was a common colour, he was my little dude and I was honoured to have him. (I later revamped my entire stable following that belief! It's so nice to run with pets I love.)
ANYHOW. Now, my boyfriend isn't much of a pet person in general, so you can imagine how amazed I was when he started referring to Ruchy as "ours". When I mentioned taming another scorpid model, bf got all sulky with me and said he didn't want another scorpion he liked Ruchy. (Que "awwww")
So, last night a couple of guildies and I went into VOA for kicks cause one of them wanted the mammoth mount that drops. We had 2 dps, a tank and a healer so I got Ruchy out to offtank a bit. First we tried 25 man - we got the original guy, Archavon (earth? stone? something) down which was hilarious, with Ruchy picking up as the offtank brilliantly, I didn't even have to roll MD too much - only did it as a safety blanket, probably not needed. Was awesome. Then we went and did all bosses in 10 man. The only boss that gave us trouble was the ice guy (stacking debuff on tank) which eventually ate through our tank and our DK dps, so I popped taunt and cower and Ruchy, healer and I burnt through the last ~700k
What a little champ! As you can imagine after that little stunt my guildies were suitably impressed and amused that "super scorpion" could tank so well hahaha!
(Three cheers for Ruchy!)
Just a little before our server restart, Ruchy and I headed out to Uldum - I'm not at all interested in another Madexx myself, but I've been heading out there because it's more interesting than sitting in SW lol. With only a couple of minutes to the restart, guess who spawns but red Madexx. I hesitantly tame her as no one else was around to tame and I already watched a Madexx get killed yesterday (traumatising hahaha)... very mixed feelings. Cute scorpid, but I have no need for her and Ruchy is very much an "only scorpid" type of pet... he's gotta be the top dog! But you never know, he may feel differently once he gets to know her... girlfriend for Ruchy in the house? Idk, idk. He's just a little pimpmaster.
SO. While we all sit here and bask in Ruchbah's awesome limelight, lets share some stories about our awesome Madexxes (or as they should be called, "Relatives of Ruchbah"). I gotta say, my little dude has certainly wormed his way into my heart ;D
