Action Nine News

Jul10

So in the last few days I tried the new  BH raid, Occu’thar.  We had a good group, and although it took us like 5 tries to get it down, everyone was working well together to figure it out.  I always feel watching and reading about the raids is all good but you still have to do it and work together.

Then I joined up with Action Nine News to be on their raid team that goes Fri/Sat 8 to 12.  Those hours work well for me, and 2 days a week raiding I like too.

We tried this guy, Lord Rhyolith, but did not get him.  But, spending an entire night wiping, on new content, is nothing new.  Cauldrons were always set out, fish feast, and everyone was back in and ready to pull again within 1-2 mins after each wipe.

I ran arena with Leonz and although disc/ret pally is just not a good comp in general, we got enough points, combined with my arena points, for me to get my new shoulders.  And after that raid last night I ran TB and ran into Rayzo.

We had a little joke at Slags when everyone left us there, and I said “we got this” then clarified to mean that “by got this I mean, we’ll both get it in the ass in a few minutes” then being a typical rogue, he joked and said it would be just me because he’d vanish and leave my ass there.  Rogues ah, love them.  He didn’t though, and when 20 horde rolled in and kicked out ass he died too, but claimed it was only because he was DoT’d and didn’t have cloak up.  Suuure. But I have a new rogue fan, it looks like, so I’m happy.

Firelord Set

Jul5

I needed about 70 more justice points to get my firelord pants, to complete the 4pc t11 set on this character, so i queued for a regular dungeon. We got heroic throne of tides again, and the hunter repeatedly kept using AOE which was breaking my sheep on the casting mobs constantly. Then after the first boss for some reason, the entire party dropped except the hunter and I. They were replaced by players all doing 8k dps or lower, so I left, and bought my pants. So I’m at t11 4pc on both chars now.

1 Tank 2 Healers

Jul4

Ran a dungeon with one guild member and Leonz!

he had to save us TWICE when the DK took more damage than I could Guardian and flash heal through, so the only person that wiped twice was the tank.  At one point on a bit of trash I had 22k hps, ffs.

Ran all my firelands dailies too.  I liked this one where you get your own party to go kill stuff.

Much like the quests with the prince of SW, they also come with their own flight forms (for the druid defenders) and a rocket mount for the knight, Maximilian I believe it was, for when you go flying.

Caverns of Time

Jul4

While I was waiting on a dungeon queue, I ran a little quest through the caverns of time, which look pretty bad assed now.

Ugh, the randomness of… randoms, is crazy sometimes. Leonz and I queued for for a Z dungeon and first got one at the very last boss which we one shotted.

Next one we pulled, and the tank died.  Why? Because the healer, was SHADOW. They swore they queued as dps but with a ret pally, prot pally, hunter, and me, obviously they must have chosen healing too. Plus they had the healing symbol on them.  So the tank died the first trash pull because NO ONE was healing.  Leonz must have tanked through it because the rest of us didn’t die.  The healer switched to disc, but went completely OOM the next trash pull by bubbling the entire party, and then bizarrely casting BW Barrier on the same trash.

Now, normally I will not mock a healer if it looks like they are trying, or it’s the tank fault, or something.  I think the last time I had was back in early Wrath.  But this guy, holy shit.  As I watched them go to 2% mp by casting shields constantly, I mentioned that it’s clear they don’t know disc healing.  They told me to shut my face and that they would manage their mp.  I told the tank that the healer clearly had no idea what they were doing, and on the first boss the healer again went OOM at about 50% health on the boss, by basically throwing every heal and shield they had at all the wrong times.  I said, after we all wiped, that it was clear as day they had NFI what they were doing, and they dropped stating they “weren’t a good group healer”. No joke.

After that, the hunter stated they had never been to this dungeon before, and the new tank we got said they were fresh full of 346’s.  We did ok but I ended up jetting when we died on another boss twice, because it was fireworks time.

Later I queued for a dungeon myself and got an all guild group from Torn, on Gorefiend, and we just TORE ZA UP.  Was a good run, but haven’t gotten anything I could equip in a while. That reminds me I must replace my BLUE necklace now…

Defender of a Shattered World

Jul3

Got my Defender of a Shattered World title, never thought I’d have it on my mage rather than on the priest who ran raids 3-4 times every week for months.

For some reason I had never finished Heroic Throne of Tides, which I did today.  We wiped at least 7 times, 2 of which I avoided, and we ended up kicking a bad hunter doing 5k dps, using a tank pet.  When they told him to bring out a dps pet, and the guy had no idea what to do.  I did a vote kick with the reason “too stupid to play” which the other members enjoyed as the guy was kicked.

I’m sorry if you are 85 and don’t know what a dps pet is, just quit.
