Tharus beat my ass

Jan7

I moved my shaman into Relentless, which was my first ever guild, since I have a permanent spot with them DS 10 raiding now and I know people would not rather give gear to a “pug”.  We did the first 2 bosses ok and I won a new necklace, but the third we had bad healing problems.  The priests top heal was flash heal, and I focused them one fight and that’s all I saw going off during tank healing, and I assume shields in between.  We had a talk afterwards where I suggested talent and reforge changes, and I guess we’ll have to wait until the next raid to talk about healing rotation more and skill usage. They were only putting out around 12k heals as it was, and the grouping up damage parts we were failing something fierce on. I was doing around 22k.

Anyway I did 2’s with the hunter again and it went a little better this time.  I ran into Tharus during one match, with a rshaman.  He beat my ASS too, it was kind of funny.  Now I know what Ladiesman was talking about when he says he sometimes loses by underestimating a player.  That’s exactly what I did.  I then got asked by

Leudraenei (I’m sure I spelled that wrong) to do RBGs with Ilikeanimals, but when they kept spamming for a resto shaman I said I had one with 4569 resil and switched to that instead.

We won 1, lost 2.  Both losses from pretty stupid mistakes.  The first loss I take responsibility for, though I still honestly have no idea how it happened.  We were in Twin Peaks in the alliance base (as horde) and I was nowhere near where the flag was, I was across the room near the back, and I noticed I had the flag.  I have no idea how I picked it up, so confused I ran out of the base and tried to drop it only I didn’t have the flag buff icon. In my panic rather than running away and trying to mount up to drop it, I just stood there unclicking every buff I had right and left clicking every buff and debuff trying to drop it for someone else while everyone in vent told me to drop it, got pwned and they returned the flag. I felt amazingly stupid but I really have no idea how I even picked it up to begin with.

The second loss was mostly because our FC, for no particular reason, left where he had two healers, myself included, guarding him, LoS’d us behind the wall and promptly died.

I’ll take easy wins

Ran LFR with my shaman last night, with Relentless, and Ladiesman came along on his alliance. I told him I was feeling a token drop tonight and sure enough, my shaman won her shoulder token and now has 2 t12 pieces, yay! Oddly enough I was the only shaman for the first 4 bosses, but nothing dropped specifically for me. The last 4 bosses there was just an ele shaman and me.

Then went on to win 4 bgs in a row that were all kinds of fun besides that, and 2 TBs in a row. While I don’t like just slaughtering the other team if they are truly bad, I do love the wins.

How I met Ultrabomber

Murkbottom wasn’t on last night for the 3’s he scheduled, so picked up a random hunter in trade and got cap.  The person wasn’t geared very well but there was no raging, and I had a good time actually.

Added them to my friends list since they said they were willing to go again next week.  Hunter/disc priest is probably a weird combination but to just have a decent partner is all I want at this point. Had a problem with my points though, I had like 400 cp coming in, but had a battle that gave me no points at around 1100 for the week, then another battle gave me 80, then another battle gave me none, then another gave me full.

Ran BH 25 on shaman and priest and won nothing.

I know a loss when I see it

Dec26

Tried to get CP cap last night in random bgs but went 0/5 and gave up.

Then this morning did 0/2 on the mage then 0/1 on the priest finally got 1 win at Gilneas.

Half of these I just rage quit, there was just no point. When you see horde take the yellow gate within 1 min, it’s a loss, when you see the horde flag returned to their base and absolutely no alliance are in range to get it back with their full team escorting their fc it’s a loss, when they have 2 in gilneas and your team is split up all over the map, it’s a loss. I lose a lot, it’s easy to predict.

Case in point got into a SotA and horde took it in about 1.5 minutes, so just stood on the boat and waited to lose. Basically 5 demos rolled through all the gates, completely unmolested. Then won a TP where we destroyed them, so 1/2 there.
