Bringing more

Aug26

Had a funny TB the other day where I went from slags, up to the south spire chased by a dk and paladin, down the path,

almost completely OOM the entire time, all the way to WV, where an alliance called out that there was “only 2 at wv” and I laughed and said that I was bringing more with me.

then someone finished this legendary staff and were being impressive in the middle of SW

We ran rbgs last night and won 3 I think, but I lost more rating overall. I hate Gilneas, whoever caps first basically keeps it the entire fight and you may as well just log out.  3 bases for 20 people with each base being only a 10 second ride is dumb.

Mind Control

Aug23

Ran arena with Karma on his DK and rogue, got 6 wins or so in. Also ran a BH but even with a higher roll did not win the ring I wanted. Bought a Ruthless wand and will probably pick up a ring this time.

Been using MC offensively quite a bit lately, pulling people out of the doors at ICG and trying to walk them into the river. I’d like to keep the horde away from me to avoid that, rather than coming in to pound me. We won 2 today and lost at least 3.

Also picked up a new belt from the vendor near the raid portal for Firelands. There is a nice 391 ring if you are exalted, by from what Vorios said, it will take so long it probably won’t even matter by the time I get it. I miss trash runs because I can’t log in early enough for them and I just don’t feel like farming when I’m. Or if I do, there’s never groups doing it. Oh well. I hate grinding.

Alliance is so bad

Aug22

Ran two EoTs with Jan, Maice, and Truii on his rogue, and we lost both. Alliance is so bad.

Then got together with Pom’s group for rbgs, lost AB, then lost Gilneas. It wasn’t even a good loss either, it was stuff like having 2 at WW, no one at mines, but not being able to take LH back. Or taking LH, leaving it abandoned and a single horde taking it. AB was a little better though I was at WW during Gilneas the whole time with nothing to do, with one other person. They called that as fail.

Then did some arena 3’s with Jan and Nilv, then with Maice. 2 healers doesn’t work so well but we got a win or two with the DK. Tonight has been frustrating with only losing rating.

Damn u ugly Skit

Aug20

Finally got “Storm Capper” in EoTS even though we lost terribly.  I held the flag for 5+ mins and we didn’t get any other bases.  Alliance was busy in mid, even though WE HAD THE FLAG. It took 3 of these (call to arms) to get a win.

Last night we did some little side battles to get Skitmo part of that legendary staff.

at one point he turned into that awful druid healing tree model, to which someone said “damn skit you ugly!” ha ha, no kidding.

We spent the rest of the night finally getting Heroic Shannox down, then tried Heroic Rhyolith but didn’t get that.  My numbers in disc spec, are impressive at anywhere from 12 to 20k.  I still feel it has to do with how recount counts the healing though, since I am certainly not physically doing any more healing than I was as holy.  I’m hoping we do regulars tomorrow so I can maybe have a chance at the shoulders.

The hunter we’ve been bringing, Turtles, has been eh, a bit of an annoyance.  Lots of not listening, like missing the cauldron being put down even though it was announced, being told repeatedly to eat the feast, doing the wrong thing in raids and flat out admitting they “weren’t listening” to the instructions. Etc.  Kind of frustrating.

Mana Burn

Aug19

For some reason Bbqtwilight was harrassing people in Goldshire, and I caught her in the middle of hearthing out.

Yesterday was sort of rough on RBGs.  Pomstar, who leads Pwnography, runs rbgs on a regular basis with varying degrees of success depending on who goes.  Anyway he was looking for healers so I said I’d go, and found myself in a 3rd group of 4 total.  He said we were making two group, but he was the only one leading so after cherry picking his own team and asking someone to lead the second one, they went off to start doing battles while the rest of us were kind of hung out to dry.  Vagisil (with the funny A) lead the second group after another hour or so, and we got Gilneas but did terrible and lost.  It took SO long to get going (near an hour and a half total at least) that I had to go at that point.

Later on I logged in and got a group with Peejay, but the flag carrier and I were running around together alone, and every time 5-7 of the enemy came and pounded me into the dirt.  We lost that too.

At night I ran rbgs with guild, and got Jan invited part way through.  We lost… 2-3, I think, and won 4.  My rating is up to 1475 so I have the Master Sergent title now.  I also picked up the helm and it looks BA’d enough to display.

The funny thing is, one of the battles was an AB and we ran into a Pwnography group.  The names I recognized were Healcrit, Badbadnyc,  Bloodylyfe (something like that) and Sieban.  Wasn’t impressed with any of them.  And by impressed I mean, did they put enough pressure on me that I had to focus on my own survival to the point I couldn’t heal anyone else, or were they injuring my  raid mates enough that I had to use my CDs.  Neither of those things happened and I just danced around the flag spamming holy nova, and fearing as it came up, and mana burned Healcrit.
