Trial Runs <> Carries

We did well in our raid this week and Nilv was substituting for Dor. I got tier legs and wasted 6 tokens and got all gold and a back I did not need.

So I told Iocane this a few days ago but I said I hoped the druid didn’t all “so long and thanks for all the fish” and sometime this morning he gquit. He said he didnt like being benched. First of all, you need to be on a team to be benched. Benched implies you had a spot. It was a trial run. He said he didn’t know the fights, and I said it wasn’t that it was he didn’t know how to play. I said it nicely though. I swear! He said this on his app too, but he again said he felt he should get another chance. I told him it’s not that kind of raid spot, you bring your A game and maybe get a spot, not play like a derp. We’re not a teaching raid.

Whatever. Ugh. He said he didn’t hold us back on progression, yeah it’s called a carry and you’re welcome.

The Bad Druid

Last night we didn’t get Dark Animus and there was much griping by Angey about the druids healing in raid chat. I checked their raid progress and they had nothing in DS, full MV, 1 in HoF, no TES, and previously only 2 in ToT. But of course, a new person, got the staff off Ji Kun and offspec pants. I used a token and got nothing again. I don’t think they know how to do druid healing by the 70% rejuv use.

Can we please start on time?

Last night I asked if the raid would start at 9 and it should have, only Onenight (the GM) did not show up nor posted that he would not show up. Our tank, Shellblock, ended up being an hour late. I was not pleased at standing around for an hour waiting for people.

We brought the resto druid I invited from a random ginvite the other day too, Lunais. I think that’s because we had no other options, though they did ask to raid. They were offline for much of the trash ‘fixing add ons’, died a lot to ‘lag’, crashed a bunch and ended up switching computers. I didn’t see tranq go off at all during Megaera when it should have, didn’t see swiftmend during Rampage, numbers should have been higher on Tortos (I was holy that fight) and some trash pulls when he was online, was doing less healing than Angie as dps or Silly.

But, first raid.. I guess we’ll see.

Used a token on Oondasta, Nalak, and Horridon, gold gold gold.

Goldshire

Tonight we didn’t have Alyis so we pugged a druid and wiped a bunch on Murumu, but got him done after a bit, then got Primodious and Dark Animus!

I picked up thunderforged non tier shoulders, and tier chest to replace my non tier chest, and with the gloves I won  last week, I now have 2 pc T15. HOLLA.

I forget exactly when this occurred but we had some AWESOME world pvp outside of Goldshire one night we were doing RBGS.

Having CRZ’d players from all over does make some areas more fun pvp-wise, but not so much when competing for mobs or resources. I’ve found wearing my full pvp gear makes little difference compared to all pve but for weapon and a trinket.

Rogues are Fast

This week we got up to Dark Animus but that fight is a mess and we wiped a bunch on the trash.

These guys? UTTER BS.  Had to put out like 120k hps for it.

Otherwise we 2 shot Murumu and 2-3 shot that guy after him.  There’s been so many bosses lately I can’t remember the names. Anyway I got the staff off Ji-kun and a new ring off Murumu when Alyis passed on it, presumably because he’s going to quit, which he said he was going to today.  So that’s a loss of 2 heals in a rather short period of time but we’re still stuck with Dor.

We did guild rbgs and it went quite well, won 4-5 and I capped quick enough that I did a few on my druid. We had a warrior who pvps a lot so that helped.

And this is annoying when I’m top dps in a dungeon as heals.  By a lot.
