RNG hates me

Apr16

Got Cho’gall down tonight, YAY! Lost the roll on the nice trinket though. I threw a fit at the start about pugs, but it was clear a bit into it they knew what they were about and got it down. So, Jan was right about it tonight. I forgot to take any pictures, was tired, and in pain from being a stupid ass on roller blades and falling on cement, and hitting my back in a bad way. Was told I should talk to another priest about getting better hps, said someone with worse gear gets 13k hps. I… am not really sure how someone could sustain that but if it’s possible I wouldn’t mind hearing it. I just see no reason to throw heals when no one needs it and I’m not expecting damage.

But, I decided to go reforge my stuff into holy stats rather than trying to balance for disc, since I really only pvp as disc, and reforge mastery into haste and spirit. That should help.

Could it get any worse?

Wasn’t really happy about the raid last night.  SJ and I talked about how the raid was half pugs in the morning, and agreed that would not fly.  Tonight however Jan wanted to put a group together anyway. I said I did not want to run if it was half pugs, he said it would not be.  I dropped the 3v3 I was doing with Rashill and Leonz to join up, and sure enough, it was HALF PUGS.  I griped about this in officer chat and he said they are not pugs, they are friends.  I said PUGS, are anyone who is not a member of the guild.  He said they were all good and it was a good group.

Ugh.  Victory or Whatever killed Halfus shortly after we did, and when we were still mucking around at the twin dragons, they were on Cho’gall.  Some people continued to die to stupid avoidable mistakes, and naturally the pugs won all the BOE items.   The druid Jan invited, Peri, won the staff of mending worth around 20k, and “lost power” after the first fight and never came back.  So, another raid run where I got nothing.  We got up to Cho’gall but it was late and I wasn’t about to attempt it with some random ass group.  This will be the last raid I run with so many pugs it’s no longer a “guild” group.

MS/OS

Apr10

Last night we did BWD with 4 pugs, two of which ended up joining the guild. I’m not sure if that was because Jan was trying to enforce loot council on half pugs or because they liked us. I’ve said time and time again I really don’t like loot council, I’m ok with rolling MS need, OS need, greed, etc even in a group with the same people. Then you can’t very well get bitchy that someone made a decision you did not like, because a roll is a roll.

We got three bosses down then failed repeatedly on Atramedes. We had two shamans healing so I was tank healing on disc this time but I felt like I had to do quite a bit of raid healing as well. One of the shamans, Fatalty, was being quite the douche during some of the fights by yelling that people needed to get in his range to heal, screaming MOVE MOVE when he was targeted with the flame on Atramedes, etc. Funny how when I heal with Nilv and Almasi, range isn’t a problem, we just all spread out to be in range of everyone.

At one point during the raid that guy casually mentioned he was streaming our raids, which he did not ask beforehand if it was ok. I record myself playing so, I really didn’t have a problem with it, and his video was not working so he was just streaming vent. However a few people took issue with it and asked him to stop. He took it offline, which I was watching on my second monitor, then brought it back up shortly after. They told him again, to turn it off. He did for a few minutes then turned it back on again. He was told if he didn’t stop he’d be booted from the raid, so he was, and threw a fit asking what the big deal was, he was trying to get his video working, blah blah. Well the point was, you were asked by the RL to stop, and didn’t. He raged in vent before leaving, including a ‘fuck you guys” and such. Class act.

I’m beginning to think that Maloriak will never drop my trinket too.

Ascendent Council

Let’s see, starting to get days messed up.  On Friday we ran everything in BWD except Magmaw, which was already done, and of course Nef, then cleared out BoT up to the council, which went poorly and then we called it.

Today the raid didn’t even get going since we were missing 2 people, and first decided to wait an hour for someone to show up, and then tried to get replacements which didn’t work out. It was called at about an hour 15.

I ran my daily dungeon, then ran arena with Leonz on his team.  I could have done better, as disc, but we capped for the week anyway and I picked up my Vicious pants.  Pretty good considering that I haven’t played disc in a while, and we are newly partnered. During one of the fights, with a priest named Desasteress, they pm’d me with “gg” and “<— rayslayz” which I totally remember from messing with him in TB. The guy has like full vicious gear and, at the time, a 1800 arena rating.  I tell them I am impressed and he says he’s thinking about going back to Alliance. Says he has a rogue too, well, you don’t say! I seem to have misplaced my rogue. Anyway I try to carry the convo a little but then someone else msg’s me and says he just left, apparently they were having a lan party and drinking at someone else’s house.  I log in my horde to say hello, then call it a night.

BWD

Mar11

On Wednesday we raided BWD, but for some reason things weren’t going well and we wiped a number of times on Atramedes, and repeatedly on Chimaeron until we called it. I thought it may have been because of my DBM marking the wrong targets for Massacre, but we weren’t dying during that, we were dying when grouping up, even though I was throwing all the same heals I have been in all our other kills. I honestly don’t know what was going wrong. No cloth or healing pieces dropped, that I needed, anyway.
