Satchels = Bad Groups

Did LFR today with a group of 9 other guildies.

went well, didn’t win anything again.

After that got addicted to running dungeons with the Exotic Satchel but it seems that usually ties me in with truly horrible groups. The first one had 3 people from the same server all doing about 8k dps.  The Sylvanas fight took 6 minutes (normal is 2-3) and she was on her like, 4th round of ghoul chains. The mage from another server was doing 20k, arcane.  The tank I could excuse but the rest, damn.  I inspected the feral druid and they were rocking questing greens, non heroic blues, and not a single item enchanted or gemmed.  We somehow managed to get her down, but the next one was Tyrande and there was no way in HELL I was going to do that boss for 10+ minutes and I told them a satchel wasn’t worth running with such bads and left.

The next group was another bad one, and it’s funny how many times I get killed by someone trying to avoid the trash before Baine.  We had to use every last hourglass at the last boss too but made it.  Was the satchel worth it though? No.  Like someone in guild said though, it’s sort of addicting to get those satchels, and like trying to win the lottery.  Usually you just end up with a worthless piece of paper.

Draenei to Human

I decided to make my priest who has been draenei this entire time, human, and paid for the race change.  I like the avatar set better on draenei than human but eh.  The racials will be better for my priest as a human though I’ll miss what I looked like.

At any rate, I like this instance a lot.

Our guild had a calendar item up to do DS25 last night but at the starting time only like 3 people were on and I just queued randomly.  Even though I had top healing, which I realize means absolutely nothing, I won no loot.  Yes one clearly has nothing to do with the other but when you see a spriest win your bracers or whatever and they are doing 10k dps it’s kind of slightly more annoying.

And I still want this guy to be an available human male model to choose from <3

We had a few wipes during this raid but nothing that was a big deal.  Won nothing this time either.  And yes I  made my priest look exactly like my mage, so I keep wanting to blink for some reason.

So, I won’t be switching servers, I decided.  I almost wish I still had my shaman here.

Stealth Changes

Some interesting changes came about to TB after the patch. You can no longer afk out, it doesn’t care if you flag afk. You can hearth out during a battle though, and you can drink non-mage drinks. Before you could not.

We Just Lost parties

Alliance has been mostly completely terrible at TB lately. Try to make the best of it I guess and have “we just lost” parties at the bridge.

When the Ruthless gear is available for honor I wonder if anyone that is good will start coming back. I’ve been logging onto Tichondrius more too on my shaman, and made friends with a rogue named Ronokay who insisted we try arena a few times.  We won 1, but as I told him, my keybinds aren’t all set up, and I’m not comfortable or practiced with pvp on that char.

I haven’t been able to get in a winning tb battle on that server, hardly ever.  Whenever I queue for it I almost never get in.  I’m still on the fence as to whether or not I want to move any characters over there.  It’s just hard to test playing a character I’ve not spent much time on. I think I may drop my ele spec for a pve resto though since there’s no way I’ll be able to gear pvp and pve dps and healing specs.

Anyway, random bgs have been a lot better lately.

Pretend it’s PVE

Saw a mage doing nothing but spamming arcane explosion, as a frost mage, in TP today. When I called them bad they said to lay off because they were new to pvp. Ok so that means you play stupid as hell? I mean at least pretend you are on a mob, at LEAST.
