Loot Drama

Jun6

Last night we ran BoT, and had a few key members not show up. Peejay helped me out by coming on his disc priest, and brought a mage from his guild. So rather than clearing almost all of BWD and BoT like I did on my mage on Friday, we spent 3 hours getting 3 bosses down and not getting Cho’gall. I’m not even sure why we tried. I got wrecked by the adds repeatedly which took me from 10 corruption up to 70 fast each time, and at 8 and a half minutes, we didn’t even have him down yet.

Had what I felt was a bit of a squabble over gear and raid times too. That staff of mending dropped and PJ won the roll but let it go to one of my guildies instead. Well it ended up dropping again, and he previously said he wasn’t listening in vent because he had guild drama to handle. Well I felt it should have gone to him since he wanted it earlier, but gave up his winning roll. Instead SJ did an open roll, which he won and when I objected, oh, it was annoying. I was told PJ needed to say he wanted it, which I said he did, I was told he needed to ask for it in vent, to which I already said he was dealing with things, etc. We spent like 20 minutes arguing about the damn staff and I was ticked off. I also don’t want to raid extra days when we have to cancel a night because of no-shows. I was there, ready to go, if we didn’t run I don’t want to add another day. Just saying.

Alliance pwns sometimes?

Jun4

I must have joined some premades tonight or something, because alliance OMFGPWNED horde in all the bgs I did today.  Healers kept me up entire battles, I was mowing them down like grass, amazing. 4 SotA wins in a row. And like I said, not just wins, but OMG pwned wins.  I even fraps’d one I was on such fire.

The fun run raid was cancelled, due to no healers being available.  I feel a little burned when I heal raids or ZA/ZG on my priest for people, but when I need my mag run through, there are none wanting to heal.

I got picked up by these guys though and we cleared all but Nef in BWD and got up to Ascendant Council in BoT, then it was called because it was after midnight.  Normally they go until 1 but 12:30 was all I could do.

And not a single caster piece dropped, save the dagger I already had off the dragons.

Halls of Origination

Last night ran BWD, and two healed Chimaeron just fine

Three healers on some fights is just overkill.  I will heal not like crazy when it’s not needed, just to make my numbers look good.  Why would I have 7k hps? Because we didn’t need more that’s why.

We tried Nef and got to third phase once, but most of the time we died around here

Also did a BH the next day, and ended up with 74 dispels vs the other healers 30, 21, 16, and 2.  Go me!  Glyph’d mass dispel ftw.  We did wipe once and people were ragging on healers dispelling, so I linked dispels where I had double anyone else and they said “the other healers”.  That’s right!

Got invited to an HoO group with Rexe training a new tank.  Put out between 9-12k hps, and had to pop every last mana CD I had to get through it.  But I got my vp, sold one pair of valor boots for 5k, spend 6k on Bracers of Dark Pool for my mage, then bought the mail healing boots for my shaman, who hit 60 today.  Tired, going to bed.

Pulling the Guards

May31

Alliance had TB twice this morning but I did not get in on the second winning battle at all. Got in some losing ones though. I spent some time toying with a blood elf arcane mage between the two camps, trying to figure out how she was pulling the guards on us from a long distance off. While I was doing this I partnered up with Santiarium, a DK, and spent a lot of time dying to guards trying to kill this mage and a rogue.

What it looks like you can do though, as a mage, is mid-way between the camps, throw out a flame orb, then retreat back to your camp. If it attacks or starts attacking alliance (for example) even if they are a few yards off from their guards, the horde guards will travel all the way over and try to kill them. I died several times this way. I did kill the mage once by MCing her into her own guards though. That never gets old.

Ducks

May30

This is just random, but I wish people would get their ducks in a row, and THEN ask people to do something/form a raid/start a dungeon. Don’t ask if someone wants to do arena, then start looking at gear you need to buy, gems, enchants, etc. Do that shit FIRST, then ask who wants to go. Unless of course your guild is full of other people not prepared to do anything without a 30+ min stuttering period.

I’m pvp ready with an equipment switch, I’m raid ready with another equipment switch. It doesn’t take me all night. I don’t even have to go to the bank.
