Progression /s

Oct24

We raided last night, but at 9pm we were still missing a dps.  Both Iocane and Stout were unavailable.  So, we started late, then failed on the Stone Guardians over and over.  Yes, I know, progression. I outhealed both the druid and paladin most of the attempts which was strange because disc is so weak right now.  Dor, the pally, had top heals of stuff like Beacon, Holy Light, and Illuminated Healing.  Now I haven’t healed on my pally in a while, but that struck me as odd.

Progression.

The other OTHER kind of raiding.

And yeah, my heals were TERRIBLE that shot because I was chained to melee and could barely cast a thing I had to move so much. Did ok when I was chained to Onenight tho, I don’t get it.   Oh and yeah, Nilvana was prot, and he outhealed me.  Go fig.

LFR doesn’t count

Oct23

Lately people have been linking me their Mogu’shan Vaults raid achievement showing they have 3 bosses down. I know full well it’s LFR and ask “it’s LFR isn’t it?”.

Guys. LFR is not impressive. Leonz did that to me yesterday and I told him anyone can get LFR and he said I was ‘mean’. Well ok but linking LFR is like linking a heroic dungeon achievement; everyone has it, and it’s not a big deal.

Mogu’shan Vaults

Oct18

We raided Wednesday, and got the first boss in Mogu’shan Vaults down.  We made good progression on the second but at 12 we hadn’t gotten it and I voted to not do one try, I lost, we did one try, and that was it.

I missed Thursday completely since I had PRK laser surgery on my left eye that day, and totally didn’t want to be sitting in front of a computer. I guess they got Feng down that night though.

Wow, those numbers hurt my eyes!

Alyis, a few days ago, did another one-liner I’m going to attempt to draw again. Someone linked a melee dps ring from the black auction house and he said “Wow those numbers hurt my eyes!”

That struck me as crazy funny, and I’ll explain! Flask of the Winds, for example, increases your agility by 300. Flask of Spring Blossoms, is 1,000 agility. Why such a huge jump, more than double! Why??

Gems are similar, the top end EPIC gems in Cata gave 20/20 for split stats +50 to a single stat, the new ones now, THE BLUE ONES (not epic) give 80/160 for split stats and single stats are 160. With such a huge jump it’s more or less completely useless to use the old gems.

At the end of wrath, pulling 10k was a big deal. At the end of Cata we saw heavy hitters in A9N hitting 50-60k. In Mop? I’ve seen mages and monks hitting 100-150 freaking K on trash and stuff. Crazy.

Sealgaer’s panda ended up going Alliance (Sealsauce) and I jumped on that and got him invited to guild. Iocane asked if all my recruits were prior horde and ahh, sorta. Nilvana was originally horde, Perf was, Ladiesman, that one priest who I cannot recall, etc. So, yeah a lot.
