125 World Tree marks

Aug7

Did my dailies, again.  Just one more set of 125 marks, finally.

515ocyla

Raided last night, tried Shannox on heroic a few times, otherwise did normal, and I got Wristwraps of Arrogant Doom.  One less thing to buy with VP, yay.  I think I’ll wait until after BH next week before I buy the tier pants or not though.

I single-handedly failed an achievement for us prior to Staghelm, when, not realizing I had to stay back, I instinctively ran out with 6 people in the raid when I should not have.  Healers reflexes I guess. Ugh ><

Tried Ragnoros a few times but failed on um, 2nd or 3rd stage I forget.  After that I ran some Bgs with Jan, a rogue whose name escaped me and.. a druid, I think.  I like EoTS because of all the people I can hurl to their death from mid.  On the advice of Shockblocker I kept my tsunami card on for the spirit.  We won that one, but regulars bgs I just try to have fun.  Won Gilneas also.

I stayed up, way way too late doing a rated which we lost.  A paladin we invited from VoW rage quit when it was looking like we were going to lose.  That’s just… bratty.  I told them after the loss that I had to go since it was like 2am and that I had fun, and as I exited someone said it wasn’t really but eh, can’t win all the time.

Firelands Quests

Aug1

Well, making some progress on the Firelands quests.

507ocyla

Catching up over the weekend, we got down MajorDomo Staghelm and I got the Jaws of Defeat trinket. Then we went on to work on Ragnaros and made it to second phase a few times.

508ocyla

I was loathe to give up Core of Ripeness as a mana regen tool for the Eye of Blazing Power, so I equipped the Jaws item instead.  The Eye trinket, I may equip for battlegrounds or arena though, might be useful, or on fights where I know I can manage my mp fine with with my normal class utilities.

I tried to run RBGs last night but got in bad ones where we got Twin Peaks twice, and were destroyed each time.  I got CC’d so hard I couldn’t do anything and died.  Basically we had a FC and 2 healers running the flag, and the rest of the dps were supposed to be handling mid.  Instead it ended up where the FC and I ran through mid with the opposing team having EVERYONE there, and we got rolled.  Didn’t get a single flag capture.

Then stayed up way, way too late doing arena with Jan.

509ocyla

but I am very grateful I got close to cap, I thought I might miss it this week again. I’ve done very little arena this season so far.

Baleroc

Jul29

Tonight we raided, and got down Baleroc, yay!  So, rather than watching for a buff to fall off another player, I just figured that I would heal 2 raid damaged people, heal the tank until my power auras told me by buff was off, then heal 2 raid people again, while throwing guardian spirit on Pawpados at the appropriate times.  At one point I did life grip on him instead of guardian spirit, which, I’ve never done.  I slipped up on that twice today, I don’t know what the deal was.

506ocyla

I was ridiculously lucky on rolls tonight.  I won the Funeral Pyre staff, then Flickering Cowl of the Wavecrest, then Eye of Blazing Power trinket.  Since I had just gotten the healing off hand though, I gave he staff to a pug druid that had wanted it.  Some nice shoulders, and nice looking, dropped as well, but I lost that roll.  I had already won 2 things so I would have given it up anyway.  up to 372 ilevel now.

Tried running a rbg with some random people, but, we lost.  I survived quite a bit but it seems like people always get hung up about the other teams rating.  Ok yes they have 1500 and we had me at around 1100, another person at 1400 and mostly 0 rating.  So? That may just mean you haven’t earned your rating yet.  Don’t let it pysch you the hell out.  Everyone crybaby quit after that.

Al’akir

Jul25

Last night ran a Deadmines and the second I phased in I was dead.  Not very nice.  Ended up quitting that one and picked up with Pawpados who was running randoms and did 2 more.  Later queue again and got ANOTHER Deadmines that went poorly, we wiped on the thresher boss and the whole group left.  Queue again and got a fast queue with a satchel, and a good group that blew through the instance.  Only got 98g and a potion of concentration though.

While I was doing this, queuing from the Molten Front, I ran into Rayzo and Lilawolf.  Rayzo said he was doing a To4W and I offered to heal it.  I got in a raid with most of my first guild, Relentless, including Lilawolf, Yellowducky, Dustock, Cinor, Shiftthis, and Trenchx.  I only remember the last two a little but the rest I use to regularly raid with.

It took oh, 3 attempts to get the Conclave of Wind, though I didn’t die at all through any of those wipes, and two attempts at Al’akir.  Cinor is still doing 4-5k dps as a tank.  But we got that down, and I got the achievement for that one, FINALLY.

502ocyla

Kind of embarrassing to have taken this long.  I offered to heal for them on my non raiding nights as well, they still need Cho’gall for their guild achievement.

So, yeah

Jul25

Finally got in a BH group, but it was massively fail and we wiped on trash, and the boss twice, then it fell apart. The dps was very bad, with me around 22k, the next at 14k, then 10, 19, 6, 5, etc. So yeah.

Joined up to a second one and we wiped twice because they “thought” you could one tank it. Holy shit, seriously? and the boss was facing the raid like the entire time. But after 3 wipes we got it. Mail and mail dropped. Ugh.
