Oh this isn’t my main

Jul26

Since I sit around in town a lot, it seems I’ve become some form of “officer” of the guild, especially because I can invite. I don’t have officer chat like in Bloodbathed, and can’t change the bank, or change ranks, but eh.

We’ve been trying to recruit lately and I’ve brought in, rather inadvertently, some new people. One was a warlock, whose name I can’t recall from Tol Barad (Perfide). A horde, what else is new right. He switched to an alliance after the battle under the name Cluny to ask about us as a pvping guild. I said I’m really the only one who seriously does it. They wanted to join anyway so that was that. I mentioned that I want to be known as “that damn priest Ocyla” and he said he thought that several times the past battle. He was one of those fucking fear bomb warlocks.

This druid msg’d me today wanting to join for a raid spot since we were recruiting a resto druid. Missing 4 enchants, questionable reforging, 386 ilevel. I checked out their raid progress and they were only 2/8 NORMAL. I asked what was up with that and I got “I’m 8/8 on my priest”. Their priest, named Mfer (lovely), was only 6/8 normal, 384 ilevel, missing enchants. I questioned the 8/8-ness and this time was told “oh we did it last night” which would have updated by now and then “oh right I switched to my dps for the last 2”. Uh huh. I told them we can (sometimes) do 3 heroics and we were raiding tonight and if they wanted to go they would need to be prepared. I found out later, they did not even show up for it.

I declined tonights raid earlier in the week. They started it at 8 which is 30 minutes earlier hoping that it would help somehow. People not fucking around would help, but ok.

 

Ladiesman told me he’s quitting.  And just so we’re clear?

Cardboard Assassin?  It’s not the same.

So what is no one is doing it right?

I posted a thread on the WoW Forums about my situation in general here and someone mentioned that if people are not willing to look up fights, and do their class/spec properly and gem and enchant, just that would stop them from raiding with that group. So I was looking over some of the people that come to our groups on our ‘heroic’ nights. I can only fully check out characters I know how to play past the basics.

Rayzo, rogue – appears to be set up properly

Yellowducky, hunter – missing one enchant and 1 chimera’s eye

Trenchx, mage – checks out

Cinor, warrior – missing 2 enchants, 1 glyph

Sonnylee, dk – looks ok, don’t really know DKs

Nyghtwolf – checks out, forged some mastery into haste, don’t druids love mastery?

Scubasam- missing one enchant

Backlash, shaman – missing 4 enchants

Shamwhoa – missing 4 enchants, 1 glyph, purified demonseye in red slots (so very bad) reforging spirit and mastery into haste. Noooooooooooooo

Not Raiding with these guys

Jul20

Last night I had what was supposed to be heroic DS night with Relentless on my shaman.  Before I go into it, I am in fact, not raiding with them, any more. After this.  I’m serious.

So first off, Heroic Morchok.  Lila was solo healing the easier side, I had Morchok.  Her side died from heal problems 2-3 times before they pulled Scuba into service to TWO HEAL THE EASY SIDE. We got that down, no loot I needed.

Did Zon’ozz on normal.  Tried Heroic Yor’sahj but it was like we were new again, and had people killing the mana ball at the wrong times AGAIN.  At this point Scuba kept disconnecting every 30 seconds or so, so it was bizzare they assigned him to heal Cinor who was tanking.  We wiped on that about 5 times and then killed it on normal.

Anything else heroic was out of the question, plus prior to Blackhorn Rayzo left to go see a movie and Jynx also took off.  Even though the rest of the normals are completely 2 healable, we brought in Rob’s resto shaman and I switched to my pally.

During spine the resto shaman got blown off when he didn’t get into the hole when it was time to tip Deathwing.  I looked at his healing done and it was all healing rain, chain heal, and riptide.  I focus’d him to see what was being cast and… almost nothing.  No heal, no greater heals, at all.  Apparently he only knew the fight on LFR where you don’t have to deal with the searing debuff. I asked him after if he was set up to “see the searing debuff we have to heal off”.  That was my nice way of saying “you don’t know this fight, do you?”.  He said no.  So he was healing just people taking damage that was visible, which as we know on that fight is next to nothing. Why don’t people please just say “what do I need to know about this fight?”

Got down Deathwing, the 2 handed sword I wanted dropped but I didn’t roll because Maice would use it more than me.

Anyway, done raiding on Thursdays.

I sort of hate mages

Ran with Post Mortem again, and it went pretty well. Took like 20 extra minutes to fill though.

We could have gotten Yor’sahj on Heroic if we had a little more time, but Ultraxion the dps kept messing up the fading lights. A little pissed at someone in my guild though, I asked if anyone had a mage that wanted to come when we had trouble filling, and this one guy was like “I would but I don’t need anything from normal ds”. It’s like holy shit really? I haven’t needed anything from DS normal in MONTHS and I still bring my priest and shaman every week. So I should just stop running because I don’t need anything?

Anyway, nothing I needed dropped. We brought a mage named Magicizan who did fine, but requested that the person using the voice changer to stop (it didn’t bother me) and requested that things that you should watch yourself be called out, like Hour of twilight in Ultraxion. Yeah just, pay attention? Otherwise they were ok, and walked away with all kinds of loot, including the heroic non tier shoulders, the haste trinket I want for my mage, and Will of Unbinding. Pugs always seem to get all the gear.

Post Mortem

Jul15

Let’s see, my shamans run with that other guild, Post Mortem. Really nothing to note, they seem cool, and we 2 healed and 9 manned normal 8/8. Dps was also stellar, I recall one rogue at 55k most fights. So hopefully we’ll do at least a few heroics next Wednesday, and I’ll be bringing my priest to help.
