Tried the new LFR, and we didn’t get anything down, but gosh Blizzard.  Oooooh, thanks for creeping up the creepiest mob this expansion some more.

And this guy? Wasn’t he on the Simpsons?

It went badly!

But gosh the fight was pretty epic looking.

We ran ToT last night and got down the first 2 bosses easily enough but lost people repeatedly right around the tanks were getting frozen. Over and over. I’m not sure we’ll get that fight any time soon. I did win a thunderforged back piece at least.

We had a druid, Katrinka, with us who seemed to be doing fine. Dor continues to act like the mechanics are news we haven’t heard about before. The new mage, Fownd I think was the name, has left already. We don’t even know why. Seemed like a nice guy and had offered us use of a mumble server.

Druids in pvp is fun, that is all.

On Tuesday we got the first boss down in Throne of Thunder then wiped twice on Horridon before it was time to go. We did 2 of the LFRs and I got nothing. What else is new.

On Wednesday we were down Rav, so spent nearly 2 hours trying to get another hunter. I asked Gorgor but he was in a raid already, I asked Lila who declined, and Yellow couldn’t stay up that late.

I must say I’m miffed about Lila saying no. They ask me to heal here and there and I say yes, even though they wipe on old content. You’d think people would return the favor.

Today we didn’t get CM’s because we were down a dps and Nilv didn’t have internet. I’m ok with it though, having a few late days be cancelled is probably what I need anyway.

As I had called it back in MV, Hotbrass quit the guild to go with Beta Testing and got 3/12 pretty much right away. But, good. I expected that. He talked a lot of elite stuff but often died to simple mechanics, random afk’d and even fell asleep last Tuesday during a raid. I sensed from pretty much the beginning he wanted to leave and find something better.

5.2 dropped and it’s official, I give up pvping as disc.  I’m done.  Phantasm nerf, psyfiend nerf, DA nerf, crit nerf, pvp set bonus nerf, FDCL nerf to an already horrid spec just sealed it for me.  I’ll level the druid, mobility and utility, huzzah.

Last night we got down Jin’rokh after maybe 5 attempts.  Hotbrass kept random afking without saying anything.  The “bridge boss” trash was pretty brutal.

I took a holy spec since Angey kept saying dps in chakra was incredible, but a few days ago we did a 5 man dungeon together and we were the same most of the time or I beat her by quite a bit.  Didn’t believe that anyway.

This boss was pretty fun even though we never got very far.

We were having a nerdy discussion how this raid layout feels Zelda Ocarina of Time-ish, and Nilvana mentioned one of the weapons looked “like a snitch” so they kept playing the “NEEEEERDS!!!” sound wave in the background.

Disc has been nerfed in pve so that PoH doesn’t auto give DA and it only shows up on a crit.  Which means you can pop inner focus and apply it to one group and get around a 90k absorb but stacking DA will be impossible now.  Take a shielding classes shields away, awesome.  I still healed ok but you can only take getting F’d in the A so much before you say FUCK THIS.  And I never PoH spammed anyway.  Well.  Except on heroic Garajal I suppose, or when I needed DA.  But wasn’t a one button wonder.
