Randoms are rough

Aug6

Randoms have been rough on my mage lately. Did two tonight and both went poorly.

First up was in progress End Time, my favorite. We’re on Baine, I run to the platform and 2 people die on the way there. Rez up, pull the boss, healer lets the tank die at around 15%, I drop mirrors and go to town, we get it down. Apparently they had wiped on that a few times. Someone asks “how did we not wipe on that?” and another replies “stellar dps”. I was doing 40% of it.

Anyway it’s off to Murazond and the druid healer says to port out and back in to avoid the Baine trash on the way out. We’re there a while, CC the trash, and the healer still isn’t there. The tank pulls anyway, I say “healer is not here yet” and port out to avoid a wipe. We come back in, they rez up, healer lets the tank drop again. I finish off one of the mobs stunning it with my fire stuff and inviz on the last guy up. I mass rez, we kick the healer because they are bad. A new druid healer comes in, missing glyphs, gems, reforging, leather items, the works. I sigh and say, let’s just do it ok? We get it down ok.

Then my next one we get HoT and another druid healer, in TERRIBLE gear (several items under 333) lets the tank die, leaves. We get a paladin, get the boss down, PALADIN leaves. Finish the rest with another paladin. I’m pulling aggro CONSTANTLY, the tank is from my server but missing 5+ glyphs, enchants, etc. Well, whatever. We got it finished. So much for capping vp on my mage, it’s too frustrating.

I have a very, very small “I won’t heal you” list

Aug6

Did a TB on my mage today, and had the bonus of adding a new person to my “I will not heal” list.

There were only about 5 of us and someone asked who would come with them to WV. I said I would and I was followed by a holy paladin named Lightbringr. We hit WV and there was a hunter and a resto shaman, so I focus’d on the resto shaman, but even attempting to CS, fire blast stun, deep freeze, spell steal everything, I was not able to end the shamans life solo. This is not even remotely surprising, I don’t know of any class that can 1v1 a healer and WV being “LoS city” doesn’t help either.

Anyway another warrior showed up, Clankamon I believe, and we still could not kill this shaman. the paladin started berating us, asked if we “bought” our RBG rating (my mage has 0 RBG rating) and PM’d me to “delete yer toon” and blocked me. I switched to Ocyla and had a stupid conversation about how I should have poly’d the shaman and I just gave up and logged.

New people argh

Aug2

Last night my new team was supposed to do some heroic progression, but we were missing 2 people so INSTEAD, we did all normals and even better, brought 2 people that had never even done LFR, so had to listen to fight explanations prior to each fight. Wasn’t really pleased about that. DS has been out so long it’s not fun.

But besides that it’s nice to continually have another healer with that I don’t have to be concerned about slacking or doing the wrong things.

I don’t know what happened!

Ran DS10 with a few Relentless people last night on my mage. I did ok, was usually 2nd in dps and pulled 31k on Ultraxion and 32k on Morchok. Once again not a single thing I could use except a tier chest token, but I already had a 397 VP chest piece so eh.

That guy Jason, was on his DK and man he sure talks a lot but fails rather hard. Everything is a long drawn out story, it’s just dude just shut up. He died on Ultraxion to fading light, and I didn’t even though I’d dps’d this only a few times on normal. He kept carrying on about “I don’t know what happened my times are off ” blah blah blah. What timers? I listen to dbm count down 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and I hit it at 1 and I never die.

Then he let two sappers get through on the boat when he 1) said he chained them and didn’t 2) chained them before they vanished (“that never was a problem before!”). Someone else complained about the boss “always breaking my casts”. Um don’t stand so close when he does that aoe interupt? Derp?

Then on Spine he single handedly wiped the entire group by killing the last corruption while we were stacked in the blood and blew everyone but him off. That was one attempt. Another attempt we didn’t have enough dps to get the tendon down in one shot. Embarrassing. After Spine I had to go, it was getting way too late to have fails on normal stuff.

Joining Post Mortem

Jul31

Dropped Relentless on my priest to join with Post Mortem. I’ve been told however that their priest, wants to stay heals in MoP. I want to stay heals in MoP. So, that’ll be interesting. If talents are so easy to mix around I’ll likely take a shadow spec though.

I will be slightly relieved at least, that I will probably not have to deal with the sort of nonsense I had to deal with on my normal raids, and the one my mage had last night. Stuff like not pushing a button or wiping a party, I don’t think will really happen in this guild.
