DragonSoul is sort of boring

Ran on my priest with A9N again and picked up the heroic Petrified Fungal Heart, normal version of Cord of the Slain Champion even though I already had a 397 belt, but I was the only clothie, and got Janglespur Jackboots to finally replace my heroic Coalwalker Sandals from Firelands.

We also got down heroic Skittles (Yor’sahj) and tried heroic Ultraxion but there was some fuss with the fading light and dps so we only tried twice.

And, ok. I liked Firelands and I liked the heroic fights I got to do or try (Shannox, Rhyolith, Staghelm, Alysrazor) but so far I don’t like any of the DS fights on normal or heroic. They are either “bleh” or just not fun to do. Morchock and Yor’sahj are just sort of bleh whatever, Ultraxion is just heal your ass off and hit a button sometimes, Spine is “do healing on people who don’t need it because of a stupid debuff”, and heroic Skittles is, don’t heal people too much, which is just dumb. I don’t like it. The only fight that is remotely engaging is Blackhorn, imo.

Cunning of the Cruel

Ran the first 4 bosses of LFR the other day, and watched Cunning of the Cruel go to a BALANCE druid who was doing FERAL dps, at around 6k dps. They then went to actually using balance during the second boss, and brought their DPS up to around 10k.

On the third boss I won a new ring, which was technically a side grade (which I ended up equipping) and that druid asked if they could have it because my gear was better. Stifling an urge to tell them to fuck off I said sure I’ll trade for that trinket. Needless to say they declined. Someone from Ragnaros, that druid was. Totally sick of seeing that server, and Goldrinn in my queues.

Afk, Trash

586ocyla

Did a full clear, with Morchock on heroic, with A9N last night.  They tear through bosses like mad, every fight was like half the length that it takes Relentless to do.  I got a BOE belt which I equipped and the tier robe. I really didn’t need it since I had 2 other 397 robes but eh I got 5/5 atm so whatever. Can also switch it around if need be.

Something that pisses me off raw though, dps that go afk without warning and magically come back after a full clear of trash is done.  Or go afk and not say a word, for like 10 mins.A tank can’t get away with that because the whole group has to wait.  A healer can’t usually do that because the whole group has to wait, or risk a wipe if the tank isn’t notified first (so no random afking).

A warlock from RS did that last night, and was gone for all the slime trash and then was kicked, but came back mid boss, but left at Ultraxion.  They think he was upset about not winning the belt, which they said he already had.

Tonight did a full clear on my shaman with Relentless and for some inconceivable reason we keep bringing Branders with. I focus’d him and inspected again. Apparently Lila got him to enchant, but he went at least 4 fights never casting  Greater Healing Wave.  It was just riptide, chain heal, healing wave, and healing rain. During high damage stack phases he just cast healing wave.  I never saw spirit link totem either.   He also kept overwriting my earth shield on Cinor, except for one fight where I told him to knock that shit off because I needed to have it up since I was healing in melee range.  The normal version of Heart of Unliving dropped and THANK THE LIGHT I beat that shaman over that, or my rage quitting would be put all others to shame.

Elitist Jerk

I like how anytime I trash someone for being desperately awful on their class, that they ask if I’m in an elite guild or “hardcore” guild. No, do you really need to be elite to know you shouldn’t be missing 9 glyphs? Do you have to be elite to not lose 30% of your health per mob swing? Or wait I’m sure you have to be elite to NOT play a fire mage just hitting scorch constantly.

Ilikeanimals

Lots of same old same old again really.

I was watching the duels outside of SW for a while, where this DK from Hero was killing EVERYONE.  A mage by the name of Satelite dueled me, as a fire mage.  The first time I won by default since he ran too far from the battle and stayed out while I turned away and I got a “fled” win.  The second time I started off defensive and burned him down to nothing, and just defended for a while until I got bored and started attacking and ended up killing him.  He then asked me to do 2’s which we did.

We won 2 but lost the one in the picture when he said his screen went blank.  He didn’t leave the starting area and two extremely bad rogues double smoked bombed him for some reason, then turned on me, where I survied for a good 2 mins until I was just wasting everyones time and exited the battle.  Maybe I can get cap with this person instead of using VP.

Ilikeanimals showed up again and it turns out he said he was quitting, so most of the people in his guild jumped ship.  I had asked Saedif a while back what happened, since that rogue had been spamming for 2 different guilds recently but once he found out who I was (was on my paladin) he didn’t answer.  But the answer was just, too stressful.  People begging for rbgs constantly, and the biggest beggers were the first to rage quit.  Makes sense, I don’t think I could handle a guild myself.
