Facepalm

Jul6

We raided last night, but Scuba did not show up, and that new paladin, Trance, appears to have server transferred. Nytok came again to heal, which was just lovely, but for some confusing reason we brought a guild shaman named Smoltinator. We did not need to three heal anything. The shaman was missing 7 enchants, and had a rather confusing array of gems, some int+spirit, some pure crit, some int+crit, some int+haste.

We tried heroic Zon’ozz but that went poorly for many reasons, one of which was the new shaman dispelling before people were out and getting others killed. We tried it on normal and they apparently decided to not dispel AT ALL (I had 100% dispels) with our good druid going dps (yes dps) and it brought me to my knees in mana even with shadowfiend and using the Heart of Unliving trinket. I had 27k hps plus 100% dispels, and for the first time in ages had to pop Divine Hymn on NORMAL Zon’ozz.

We tried heroic Yor’sahj but that went even worse. Even though we had 3 healers I was assigned to heal the tank, Cinor, plus myself and 2 dps. The mana ball wasn’t being handled properly so I lost Cinor more than once simply being out of mana, and once or twice when he disconnected. Lila also disconnected at least once, and we ended up doing that on normal. I got Insignia of the Corrupted Mind which no one wanted. I may go shadow again in MoP while questing or something.

We did Ultraxion on normal and the new shaman died twice, and then Rayzo and Jynx had to go before boat, so once again not even a full clear. I think I’m done raiding.

Bored without a Rogue

Jul3

Haven’t seen Ladiesman in… oh, 3 weeks now? I can’t lose another rogue!

Mostly did bgs tonight with Janusz, some with Wrathofgod, Bubledin, Nilvana, etc. It’s amazing how emo people get though. One guy wouldn’t stfu about his raid marker, another left when the queue wasn’t instant (it never is any more) and another got kicked when they wouldn’t shut up about getting assist. Really something else.

Anyway, I’m bored in TB without my rogue, really am.

Tank-o-tron

Jul1

Was on my shaman healing a WoE, which I’m completely tired of and sometimes just leave at the start. But the DK tank (Becquerel – Gorgonnash) started out with some kind of robot RPing thing

“Welcome to the tank-o-tron tanking suite program. Tank-o-tron will take you on a magical journey!”

Oh this should be good I thought.

“Tank-o-tron has many many ports. Tank-o-tron is plug and play if you get its drift”

The whole thing was rather amusing and made the run, which was really good, even better. We expressed appreciation for making this group more interesting and the druid, who must have queued with the tank, said he’s been tanking all morning and we were the first one to tell him how awesome he was.

“While tank-o-trons prime directive is to ensure meat-user safety he does not feel the same way”

Then someone says “so he can’t experience bro love”

tank replies “Bromance is within my operations”

So this opened up the party to ask random things like if he has punched DW in the face

“Tank-o-tron has punched Deathwing in the snout many times to establish dominance”

I laughed, was a pretty funny run.

Thanks, No-Show

We did our regular group of DS last night, but Sealan did not show up even though he accepted and we talked about the raid that morning. He was supposed to replace Shiftthis who quit, or something. We brought in Nytok instead who said he was capable of 2 healing everything and was. We did heroic morchok with me on the easier left side for once, but failed at heroic Yor’sahj for reasons unrelated to healing, did the rest on normal and stopped at boat. It was nice to see a druid properly geared, enchanted, reforged who actually breaks 15k hps when needed.

We brought a bad warlock named Strberrywine who never switched off boss during Yor’sahj, and died like 3x during Hagara (I called that). Also died during Ultraxion and I’m pretty sure on Blackhorn too. But he walked away with like 5 pieces of gear.

We also had a paladin named Trance who claims he main raids with Rocket Surgery on another class. He wanted to come as a holy pally with a 333 blue neck piece, and 4-5 pieces of DPS PVP gear. Including one dps pvp TRINKET. I was like uh do you have your real healing gear in another pair of pants? No.

He tanked instead and took SO MUCH damage I couldn’t smite heal like at all, and repeatedly lost him between greater heals.

I leveled Enchanting

Jun27

Removed mining now that my pally has it, and spent all day the other day and about 13k or more, leveling enchanting.  It was an important profession I really should have done earlier, but end of expansion is a good time to do it. I meant to do it when I first started this character, since people always said tailoring and enchanting went well together but as a new player, it was not even remotely affordable and I needed mining for money.

Ran a WoE where I got lucky with RNG and hit nearly 125k at the last boss, and got this comment.

Anyway I got picked up for a 2/8 DS the other day, we got up to Madness then people had to go.  We had a mage named Epicsnoww as fire who only did 13k dps, then did 5k on Hagara then died.  He was kicked.  We had a healer in 3 blues with no gems/enchants which didn’t help either.  Nothing dropped I could even roll on.
