I’m Popular but…

Mar15

Got my druid to 84 the other day, losing bgs pretty much all day. There was a warlock in one AB that was one shotting everyone. Good stuff.

I’m starting to really feel the lack of healers on my server. I don’t mind logging in and doing a dungeon, but when people ask me to heal additional raids I start to get a little annoyed. Lila asked me to heal a Relentless raid the other night, they needed a healer for Elegon and Will. I really wanted to level my druid but I said ok, but only one hour. If you can’t get 2 bosses in one hour, I’m cutting losses.

So I get summoned and the mage dc’s. We wait for him to get back. We pull, and people drop like flies on the orb phase. We wipe. The mage dc’s and doesn’t come back. They end the raid. Sigh. And mind you, I asked how far they got on the last attempt before their other healer quit and they said they got it to 5%.

Druid healing has been a lot of fun though, the mobility in pvp is so different from a priest it’s sweet as hell atm.

Totally Called It

Mar12

As I had called it back in MV, Hotbrass quit the guild to go with Beta Testing and got 3/12 pretty much right away. But, good. I expected that. He talked a lot of elite stuff but often died to simple mechanics, random afk’d and even fell asleep last Tuesday during a raid. I sensed from pretty much the beginning he wanted to leave and find something better.

Dominate Mind

Mar11

Just need bracers for full malv. I seem to be doing well on the priest, did some random bgs and such and my survivability seems nice. Dominate mind is also pretty sweet and fast cast though it seems to break almost instantly. Granted I was trying to use it on a bridge in AV with a rush of horde coming in, so I may have to also test it elsewhere. But oh, how I missed that skill.

Went back to WhisperWind

Mar8

Moved my druid off Tich to WW and renamed her from Klickers to Coquette, which had been my monks name. Deleted the monk. I am adoring druid healing especially in pvp where I have nice utility and more importantly, escape skills. It feels nice to outrun warriors.

My priest seems pretty ok for pvp but I’ve been taking a bit of a break on that. I should get my full malv though.

5.2 Disc

Mar6

5.2 dropped and it’s official, I give up pvping as disc.  I’m done.  Phantasm nerf, psyfiend nerf, DA nerf, crit nerf, pvp set bonus nerf, FDCL nerf to an already horrid spec just sealed it for me.  I’ll level the druid, mobility and utility, huzzah.

Last night we got down Jin’rokh after maybe 5 attempts.  Hotbrass kept random afking without saying anything.  The “bridge boss” trash was pretty brutal.

I took a holy spec since Angey kept saying dps in chakra was incredible, but a few days ago we did a 5 man dungeon together and we were the same most of the time or I beat her by quite a bit.  Didn’t believe that anyway.

This boss was pretty fun even though we never got very far.

We were having a nerdy discussion how this raid layout feels Zelda Ocarina of Time-ish, and Nilvana mentioned one of the weapons looked “like a snitch” so they kept playing the “NEEEEERDS!!!” sound wave in the background.

Disc has been nerfed in pve so that PoH doesn’t auto give DA and it only shows up on a crit.  Which means you can pop inner focus and apply it to one group and get around a 90k absorb but stacking DA will be impossible now.  Take a shielding classes shields away, awesome.  I still healed ok but you can only take getting F’d in the A so much before you say FUCK THIS.  And I never PoH spammed anyway.  Well.  Except on heroic Garajal I suppose, or when I needed DA.  But wasn’t a one button wonder.
