Sigh. So last night most of our raid members, including the GM were locked out of BWD. The raid schedule said heroic Chim and Atramedes, but SJ couldn’t come to any raid on any char, Crush was locked to bwd to the first 3 bosses, so we ran BoT with mostly pugs. We barely got down Cho’gall, then failed 2x on the dragons. At one point we were 9 mins in and they weren’t dead yet. Before I could rage quit, which I was gonna do, Texas logged off with no warning. Don’t blame him. So this week I got 1/12 bosses down. Yes, I skipped Wed/Thur raids, but those were cancelled anyway. There’s no reason why a decent raid couldn’t have gotten down 9/12 or at least 8 in one night.
Yomommaa
I’ve been seeing another BE rogue in TB lately by the name of Yomommaa, who is good, but still not like Ladiesman. Turns out they are friends, and I went into a vent with the both of them while they ganked alliance before and after a battle. We lost the first one, but won the second. I don’t really stand much of a chance against two sub rogues though.
Ballsy yeah I know I have no gear DUH
Tonight we had a fun run scheduled but I ended up more stressed than anything. We took over an hour to fill the group, and while waiting I was looking up gear for guildies. One was missing an enchant as a shaman and was missing 4 mail pieces. Another was missing 5 glyphs, another 3 glyphs, and a few had under the requested 355 item level, by more than a few points. Another was like 343 ilevel and known to have bad dps just from dungeons. So, good times.
The shaman we brought is also known for being bad, and they did not help themselves by repeatedly saying, in raid no less, things like “I’m lagging a bunch”, “I’ve never healed this before”, “I don’t know these fights at all” etc. We had a real ass shaman from guild Void named Coolaid, something I think, who was continually snotty in vent, but did accurately point out that said shaman was misgeared, to which we gave her standard ballsy reply of “yeah I know I’m here for gear” which is the same thing she said in a ZG run when people busted on her terrible dps. They also had terrible healing at 5k overall and per fight. Anyway the people that did not know the twin dragon fight didn’t speak up, we wiped the first attempt, and when the second one went poorly the guy logged out mid raid. Ass. He was the kind that doesn’t say anything during a fight to help out but speaks up after the fact, which to me is just too late.
We got up to Ascendant Council but people didn’t know that fight, combined with the terrible healing and dps, we tried twice and quit. I did end up with Book of Binding Will, but I’d rather spend my limited time playing getting very little done, doing something else. I am enjoying the tricks of a mage again though, popping out of stuns to do interupts and such. I need to make a stop casting macro for my counterspell though.
Cancelled Raids
I didn’t log on last night because I had things to catch up on, except to try out my new keyboard and mouse in a few bgs, but I asked Donpunt if they ran and he said no, we had a few people who accepted, not show up at all. The raid time was already pushed back to 8:45, and the new plan was to run heroics but only run 9-11, which according to Peejay means we’ll get nothing down. I tend to agree.
Anyway Thursdays raid was cancelled, and this morning I talked to Jan and he will be no longer raiding. I looked at the calendar for team 1 for sunday and there are a whole slew of tentatives even from people who wanted to be highly involved with the guild. Sigh. I think our team, is pretty much dead.
Don’t arena in blues
We were supposed to do Cho’gall tonight but once again we didn’t have enough people, ended up having a meeting for an hour, and went to do other things. I ran some dungeons on my shaman, a little upset about the hour lost again, then tried some 2v2’s with a paladin in guild named Ticktockdead. We lost every fight, even though they lasted quite a long time. He was in mostly 333 or 346 PVE blues, so that explains that.
