On the plus side, Cassio got me into pet battles the other day, but mentioning the Infinite Whelpling which I HAVE TO HAVE. So now I’m doing pet battles and I freaking love it! He gave me a Terrible Turnip.
Additionally, my balloon pet is now called “Cassio the Alliance Balloon”
Oh and I found out he has a low level BLOOD ELF rogue. I knew there was something about him! HA!
I told Relentless I would heal for them last night, since my team isn’t doing MV any more. I think that will be the only time I will do it though.
First I was there prior to 8 but they had another healer coming, so I told Warbomb I’d do arena with him. After the first win, Lila asked me to come heal. We did another win against a rdruid and rogue, and I raged a little bit when I was stuck in a 15+ second CD chain. We still won but it annoys me that things like that can even happen. If I remember right I was cycloned for like 6 seconds, then a kidney, then a cyclone, then a stun of some sort. 6+4+5 (ish) of being completely locked down with my trinket not available. So as I said, we won.
I told him I wasn’t feeling arena right now (I was a little ticked that the first battle with 2 DKs, he let one of them run around with 20% health for a good minute or so). He then said things like “so you can’t handle chain CC huh?” and “what am I supposed to do with a partner who can’t handle CC?”. I snapped that I ‘handled it’ because we won. Then he said “but you wanted me to gear up soooooooo bad”. Um what? I said I wasn’t doing arena with a scrub in pve blues, gearing up is mandatory. Anyway whatever.
So I went to raid with Relentless, and the amount of times I died was something else. I did something like 50% of the heals on Stone Guard, putting out 60k hps. The entire raid was bathing in damage and almost dead quite a bit of the fight. Their druid was bad, low healing and managed to die pretty much on every boss and trash. We wiped 2 times on the second boss. I told them I could 2 heal Garajal, but the shaman went DPS, who was the much stronger healer, and the druid was left to heal. Besides the healing troubles, there was at least 2 times that I went into the spirit totem alone, once the dps went in without a healer and died, another wipe because the tank was behind the barrier, etc etc. We were forced to three heal it because of the bad druid, who ended up, surprise, dying again.
We died to, or had to reset Spirit Kings a few times when people were goofing up, and the mage doing 30k dps died straight away to the easily avoidable floor aoe, then the spriest died. That fight took at least 2 attempts. Then we died something like 4x to the trash before Elegon. So, yeah I think that’s the last time I’ll heal with them. Nice guys but gosh.
Last night we did the first 4 bosses in HoF before time was up. I posted in the healing forums asking how I could make the other healers look better, and I was hoping to get some comments on our druid and paladin on something they could improve, instead I was just told I am sniping all the heals and I should use penance offensively more and smite more.
I did this and I was still top heals, though at a less gap in % between us. I didn’t have logs past Vizier though because I relogged and forgot to enable it again.
Ugh. One thing that is getting on my last nerves lately is travel in this game. As much as I love viewing the landscape when flying around, at some point I have to say, enough is enough. The world seems to be getting way too large to continue moving around like this. We have Eastern Kingdoms, Kalimdor, Northrend, Outlands, areas you have to port to like Deepholm, Vashjir, Tol Barad, and of course the new area of Pandaria. If you need to get around you can totally zone out after taking a boat and flying for what feels like forever. I miss L2’s instant ports, I really do.
I’ve been doing arena with Warbomb, who use to play Ultrabomber and it’s been rather interestng. I can skill solo him as disc and kill him without ever having to trinket. He thought doing arena this late in the season in blue heroic pve gear with no gems or enchants was ok. We got arena cap last week, though it went poorly if any teams focused him because he went down like a ton of bricks, needless to say I suppose.
Anyway I convinced him to at least get all honor pieces. Still a little on the fence with his behavior though. He randomly asks for favors that are often so extremely inconvenient I have to say “no, that would be ridiculous”. Things like “hey can you fly out to Theramore, pick up the ore I have, bring it back to town and put it on the AH for me so I can continue mining without going back to town?” Hell to the no?
Or “can you go to town and see if there is a mining bag, I don’t want to stop what I’m doing to see their isn’t one”. Well I don’t want to stop what I’m doing, either. So no.
I got my horde priest to 90 today and went to WG where he was there. He was following me around and wasn’t attacking me when that DK came along. When Ang(Shockblocker) showed up, I healed him. He then went into an epic meltdown, much like Holystab did before, over it. I explained to him I enjoy fighting against friends and I have no problem being beat to death (if he could). There was much emo crying about how we are arena partners and it wasn’t honorable for me to “heal those scrubs” and blah blah.
Whatever. I like fighting people I know, deal with it.
