We did heroic stoneguard last week and I got the heroic lanterns cloak. Woot. I also dropped herbing for tailoring. Flying around all of MoP and getting 2 stacks of herbs, is not cool.
Anyway I remember why I haven’t pvp’d much. Let me remind myself
STUN STUN SILENCE DEEP FREEZE STUN SILENCE KICK INTERUPT STUN HOLY LOCK OUT BLIND GARROTE FEAR STUN STUN STUN STUN STUN. Yeah. That’s why.
Been doing TB a lot, and sometimes we have 5 horde. But, I still dreadfully miss my favorite rogue, Ladiesman, there. There has not been a single engaging rogue there since. No fun.
Been trying to use Oqueue to not pvp in pugs, since it’s such an annoying disaster to do so. But so far, it’s also been just as frustrating. Was asked to queue a few days ago, did, then an hour later was told the group was ending. Then last night was asked to do it and I said sure, then was told the other healer wasn’t leaving. It’s like being benched for a raid or something where “you can come if someone wants to leave”.
FINALLY CAUGHT AN INFINITE WHELPLING OMFG. The only difference was one level, my pets were 12 this time. But I think it was mostly RNG, perhaps, since it was just a hell of a lot easier this time.
That one was a rare then I went and caught a poor and uncommon. Rawr.
Warbomb today asked me to invite a warrior to my team, why I’m not sure. I was evilly pleased about that though, since I’m almost positive I’m carrying our little team. He told me he was going to teach this warrior how to arena. I then watched them go 5 straight losses. He told me the guy was “under geared” and I rubbed it in about what I said about gear earlier.
They went on to go 1-11.
I told Relentless I would heal for them last night, since my team isn’t doing MV any more. I think that will be the only time I will do it though.
First I was there prior to 8 but they had another healer coming, so I told Warbomb I’d do arena with him. After the first win, Lila asked me to come heal. We did another win against a rdruid and rogue, and I raged a little bit when I was stuck in a 15+ second CD chain. We still won but it annoys me that things like that can even happen. If I remember right I was cycloned for like 6 seconds, then a kidney, then a cyclone, then a stun of some sort. 6+4+5 (ish) of being completely locked down with my trinket not available. So as I said, we won.
I told him I wasn’t feeling arena right now (I was a little ticked that the first battle with 2 DKs, he let one of them run around with 20% health for a good minute or so). He then said things like “so you can’t handle chain CC huh?” and “what am I supposed to do with a partner who can’t handle CC?”. I snapped that I ‘handled it’ because we won. Then he said “but you wanted me to gear up soooooooo bad”. Um what? I said I wasn’t doing arena with a scrub in pve blues, gearing up is mandatory. Anyway whatever.
So I went to raid with Relentless, and the amount of times I died was something else. I did something like 50% of the heals on Stone Guard, putting out 60k hps. The entire raid was bathing in damage and almost dead quite a bit of the fight. Their druid was bad, low healing and managed to die pretty much on every boss and trash. We wiped 2 times on the second boss. I told them I could 2 heal Garajal, but the shaman went DPS, who was the much stronger healer, and the druid was left to heal. Besides the healing troubles, there was at least 2 times that I went into the spirit totem alone, once the dps went in without a healer and died, another wipe because the tank was behind the barrier, etc etc. We were forced to three heal it because of the bad druid, who ended up, surprise, dying again.
We died to, or had to reset Spirit Kings a few times when people were goofing up, and the mage doing 30k dps died straight away to the easily avoidable floor aoe, then the spriest died. That fight took at least 2 attempts. Then we died something like 4x to the trash before Elegon. So, yeah I think that’s the last time I’ll heal with them. Nice guys but gosh.
