Ugh Mages

Today I was supposed to run a dungeon with Acks but he logged off shortly after we talked about that, and I wanted to try another satchel so I queued solo. I got SFK and it was another terrible run with the shaman doing 3k dps, and all fights taking twice as long as they should. During the last boss people stood in the pistol barrage repeatedly and died, so during the first attempt I went OOM around 20% with just the tank and I still alive. I said “oom” when I finally ran out and died, and the snarky paladin said ‘maybe if you removed the dots you wouldn’t have’. Um, it’s a curse, and I can’t remove that. And I can’t outheal stupid. They ragequit and we barely got it the next time, again making me use my Core of Ripeness, Shadow fiend, a mana pot, and hymn of hope just to get through it.

After that I msg’d Peejay to see if he wanted to do arena but got no response, so I asked Acks, and we ran until I capped. We only had one loss and that was a close one, with both other players nearly dead (mage and a rogue). I picked up the healing pvp wand to replace my dps one. I finally got exalted with Therazane also.

My last dungeon, I messed up and mentioned it in guild chat, and Fist wanted to come on his mage. Maice said he’d come with too, and this is just another example of mage that are kind of douches. He starts out the worm fight by saying flat out he WON’T help dps the adds, because arcane has a shit AOE. I point out that even arcane can use blizzard. Then during the stone giant boss he says he has to respec because arcane has no dots. Um no but you can still throw a frostfire bolt? Geez. Then the rogue who wasn’t doing very good dps, left on that fight after he died, but Maice and Fist got it down anyway (I had died due to a boss positioning problem). So even bad players leave in a huff when things aren’t perfect. Seems to be the theme for this expansion.

Master of Tol Barad

Managed to get the Tower Plower achievement today and ended up with Master of Tol Barad even though it showed I did not have one of the quests done. During one battle, afterwards, a rogue named Bakstabz sapped me a few times in the middle of the alliance camp. I switched to horde just to say ‘good one’.

Ran into Zukk again during a TB, blew a kiss and got a /lick in return, funny.  It still took alliance a while to get him off me.

Later on ran a dungeon with Acks and the dps was horrible and every fight took twice as long as usual. Well, his dps was fine but the group besides that was fail, dying standing in green stuff, doing bad dps, etc.  The tank of that group, Ideki-Kargath gave me a “good job on healing I know it was not easy”.  Yep, no joke.  I queued again without him since he usually logs around 10, and the first bosse in Blackrock whatever it’s called took 7 fing minutes. We failed repeatedly on the second boss, and it was like raid healing even on trash.  Then that fail group all left. Then the next group failed on the same boss. Since we didn’t clear that boss, the big mob doesn’t show up to help you.  I am really, really hating all cata dungeons. I dropped out of that dungeon with 90g in repairs. So no exotic satchel for me there.

Tried to queue one more time and got a GOOD group for Lost City, got the first boss down fast, was happy! Then the tank and a dps left group. ugh. The new tank says “one sec” makes us all wait then leaves the party. Then the second tank joined, and quit straight away. After that the run went smooth, but I did end up with 17k heals. For real, I took a screenshot.

I got my satchel and got 78 g and a flask of the winds. Got 10k heals on Siamat and same on the high prophet.  So I can do it, when I need to.

ZG is hard

So I went against what I said I wasn’t gonna do and tried ZG, and wiped twice on the first boss and left in a huff. Then I queued again for the Exotic Satchel, but Acks wanted to go, and I asked if I would lose my satchel, he said no, but I knew I would, which I did. Plus I had to wait extra to get in the dungeon. But, I’ve never finished these fing dungeons so it’s not like I would have gotten it anyway.

We got ZA and wiped, and wiped, and wiped. 2 hours in, we still have 3 bosses to go and I logged out. So pissed, so very pissed off.

When Awful Raiders Leave

Instead of trying Nef again last night we did Throne, with me on the platform with Rohash with Arkwin only.  I had respec’d to a “PVE” disc spec for this and swapped out some glyphs.  We got that down then tried Ala’kir.

Now, we haven’t tried this seriously like, ever.  And the last attempt was at least a month ago, if not longer.  I wiped the raid once meleeing Ala’kir like a dumb ass when I got too close when I right clicked to turn my camera.  I winced the second I saw my character hit the boss waiting for the backlash.  The warlock also did this once as well but tried to deny it even though someone was posting exactly how much damage he did to it.  The entire night we were treated to a bitchy pissy bear tank, Arwkin and another guy making snarky, rude and unnecessary comments.  Stuff like “gee I wish we weren’t raiding with retards” and “can you guys not be retards?” and lamenting that he doesn’t think there’s anyone competent on the entire server, and so on.    We got to the third phase once or twice but the whole thing was quite unpleasant.  Yes I know I got caught in the squall line, random insults about that isn’t helping. We called it early.

I then tried to do 3’s with Nilv and Dontpuntme but we only got one win and then it was a little too late.  So I did not get my arena cap for either character this week.

Darth left the guild stating he doesn’t think anyone likes him, wants to go to another server, and feels we should be downing 25m content and we aren’t.  Um, seriously? We can barely put together our first raid team, much less 25 COMPETENT people. But ok whatever.  People that aren’t that good at raiding that leave to find a better raiding guild confuse me.

Douche-bag mage was a douche

Ran a BH 25 and ended up with about 13k dps as fire.  The firelord gloves dropped, and I rolled a 23 against the only other mage in the group who of course out rolled me.  I had a sneaking suspicion about it so I inspected them and they ALREADY HAD the fire lord gloves.  This, just reinforces my believe that NEARLY all mages are DOUCHE BAGS.

I sent them (Lune) a message saying, don’t you already have the gloves? They said yes they did, why did you need them?  Yes.  Knowing mages fing douchy ass nature, since they admitted they were just going to DE them (DOUCHEBAG OMG) I offered them a Maelstrom crystal in exchange, which they douchily did not turn down.  Douche.

So now at least I have one piece of t11 on my mage.  I did have Grips of the Failed Immortal thanks to Stoutspectre way back when on that Tank quest, but I’d like to get my t11 on this character since it’s pretty sweet looking.

I msg’d Rexe just to say thanks for not being a douche.
