Got picked up by Nangz for heroic ICC 25m on Sindragosa and LK.
We got both down though I was dead most of LK since no one saved me from the Valks. I won Archus, Greatstaff of Andonidus though which I will use for transmorg’ing when it happens. Also sporting the Light of Dawn title.
Bakstabz and Ladiesman came to SW the other day and spent a good amount of time killing the npcs, and trying to kill me, since I went to go find them. We ended up in the tram and the way he fell was weird so I took a picture since after all, he rarely dies.
I also got in a BoT raid and it’s even more frustrating now to think about the good team I don’t have any more. We had to wait for some dumb healer to finish questing before we got going. Sorry but, you are making 9 people wait on you, quest some other time. We wiped on trash once when absolutely no one was doing any form of CC, and people died multiple times at the start again by not ccing or getting out of the way. I started copping an attitude during this. For example at the START we had 2 people die. They should have released and ran back in, but instead laid there dead the entire time waiting on a rez.
We got down Halfus then the dragons, but on council not only did no one interrupt the Hydro Lance, but no one switched to the flame guy and he got off at least 4 bursts which killed nearly everyone. I commented that someone needs to interrupt the Lance and the mage said they were doing it but was “dead by then”. I said well the lance landed every single time it was cast, which meant not a single person interupted it once, and they were not dead the ENTIRE TIME.
When we ran back in the shaman healer left, then a bunch of people went afk. 20 minutes after that we got a healer but then two dps dropped. I ended up saying I was sorry but this was taking far too long and I could not wait on 2 more dps. And I have to admit I am overly harsh, I guess you could say, to people playing mages.
Was demoted today from Raider – Zealot to just Member. Since I didn’t choose to stop raiding I found this a little insulting.
Joined a group for BWD with mostly Relentless. I forgot what a pain pugs are, the whole thing went quite slow. I forgot BoT/BWD only gives 35 VP per boss so it really wasn’t worth the time invested. I stopped before Nef though because by then it was nearly midnight.
This raid weekend, we did not have Holybo for some reason so we brought in a holy paladin. We got down heroic Shannox and Rhyolith, but I had to make special efforts to help on healing Con during Shannox, and put out 18k heals on Rhyo. I joked to Sealan, who was teasing me about being carried by Sage, that I ruled that fight.
We also got down regular Beth, and then switched over to trying heroic Chimaeron.
A holy pally, disc priest, and resto druid probably wasn’t the best comp for it, but the healing went poorly. One attempt the paladin had no healing at all, others no healing went out until a good 10 seconds into the fight. So we just called it. I did get the heroic Coalwalker Sandals that night though, which need a new category of OiS (only in slot) seeing that they are the ONLY heroic CLOTH boots in Firelands, period. So whether you are any flavor priest, mage, warlock, you’ll want this. So dumb. There are crafted non heroic boots for holy/disc with spirit and crafted ones with hit for everyone else but having 1 option other than paying for a craft or whatever is pretty lame. I raid for a reason and it’s not so I can buy gear with gold.
Saturday both Holybo and Raliden were missing, so I brought in Nilvana, and we brought in Kenthra, again. I was a little surprised at that after the Rag problem with him some weeks back. Anyway we did Baleroc and I had an amazing 42k heals, Nilv had 17k, and Sage had 7k. 3 healing that was such a relief.
We also tried heroic Staghelm, and one attempt got him down to 5% but I died to a jump and it went downhill fast after that. But, I wasn’t surprised we didn’t get it. An undergeared healer, who has never been in Firelands, was probably not going to happen, but it was a good try. Also tried heroic Alysrazor and I think with the normal group we can get that. The hunter died, A LOT as well. We did Stag on normal, but at Rag Kenthra DC’d and it was called when it looked like he was not coming back. So we miss Rag this week again.
Tried some 3’s with Karma today with a feral druid but we lost every single match but 1. Went on my shaman and got 1000 conquest points before I gave up, since we were losing a TON. Went back to the priest and helped him get like… 6 wins? I forget.
Earlier ran a BoT with mostly VoW and lost the roll on the Fall of Mortality as usual. But when everyone (6 people) roll on it, and the RL wins and gives it to his GF, well, I was pissed. Not for me because I was like 3rd highest roll, but for the person who really should have won it. That was some shit.
