Khaoticmage

Nov18

On our Tues/Wed run, Khaoticmage did not show up and hasn’t been around since last week raid, so he’s off the group. Which is lovely when I kicked up such a bit about Spice being an ass about him and him saying things like “I want to make you look good”. Ugh.

In the last few weeks we’ve swapped out Iocane, Stoutspectre, and Khaotic for that slippery last dps spot.

We did ok this last run but tried the first boss in HoF over and over, and the Attenuate the boss does threw me for a loop repeatedly so badly I cursed in vent several times. Being holy and having glowies under my feet when he’s throwing out tons of glowing circles was annoying, and if I threw down Sanctuary, forget it. There were times I was POSITIVE I wasn’t touching a single ball thing and I die and another time I know I hit a few and didn’t take any damage. I was pissed.

Since then I’ve gone back to disc. I just feel awkward as holy even though I can play it and I much prefer disc. PVE is pretty good now but PVP is still bad. We go oom healing like I always have in like 30 seconds. Not sure what they are gonna do about that.

Fail Bags

Nov14

My luck has been poor on loot lately, I think I need to be paired with a rogue again. I got the mooncloth pvp gloves from the Sha three times now, the LFR healing head piece twice and nothing else but gold and a sigil or two.

Nothing dropped for me last night either. Anyway those bags of gold just are oooh so taunting.

Sticking up for people doesn’t always work

Nov13

MV tonight, it was brought to my attention that Khaotic hasn’t logged in for 6 days. The last few days I was noticing this but kept forgetting to check on his status. He has still not replaced his normal staff, the spirit ring, and appears to have not done any dungeons to pick up gear improvements either. Then tonight he did not show for raid at all, so he’ll be replaced. I told Silly if needed I’d tell Khaotic all this myself since I started this crap in the first place.

The only thing I sort of wanted was a hit belt but I’m not sure what even happened to it. It kind of bugs me that plate healing classes have to roll against no one when their gear drops but most people have at least 1 to 2 others they have to roll against and drop down the loot list more. I honestly don’t get the loot list anyway. I mean it’s like a roll system but with priority, which I dunno, I guess that’s ok.

Elegon

Nov8

We got the first three bosses down in MV the last two days but wiped a lot on Elegon. The fight is a pain and much much harder than the first three. I almost want to go back to disc for that fight.

On the spiritbinder guy, sigh. I really … yeah. I don’t exactly mind when people suggest alternate ways to do a fight, but it seems Dor likes to suggest things that center on ignoring important mechanics. On Garajal it’s necessary for the healers to take turns going into the totem, both to heal up the dps in there so they can get back out (they can’t unless they are healed up) and to get a massive spirit regen for the healer. You cannot go in if you have the voodoo doll on you though.

My Vuhdo frames show me who has the doll so if I see he has it, I just go to the totem, I don’t need to be told. I don’t know what interface he is using but he suggested that every time a totem is out we both stand in it because whoever is dolled can’t go in anyway. The problem with that though, is the one time it was my turn to go in, he also ran in, and got pulled in. He was pulled in 3x in a row so I was outside the entire time doing all that healing and was nearly OOM at the end. This is why we have to take turns and not just ignored mechanics because someone has a problem with taking turns. I mentioned this at the end too. We had a similar thing happen back on heroic Hagara.

Ran a random and got Scholo after the raid with a full group trying to get Khaotic a better weapon, since he was still using a 450. On the plus side though, Price of Progress dropped and I got it.

In other news Relentless won’t be raiding until the end of the month, and apparently Nytok is going to heal them. Scuba mentioned it so I Pm’d him, a little in surprise. He said he was going to raid with them during the week. Interesting.
