Why you…

That paladin, siiigh, Angelicguard has been basically running our DS raids lately, though he’s kept a lid on the “obnoxious” so it hasn’t been too bad.

582ocyla

Though he did piss me off harsh last week when he suggested he could do all the debuff healing on spine himself and “if you aren’t doing anything try to help out a bit”. I took that as being ‘noxious again and said we all had plenty to do that fight, especially when he was doing OOM over using Holy radiance for whatever reason.

I thought Trench was nearly done with his staff and I was looking forward to not doing FL any more, but we found out he just finished the first stage, and the second will take about 13 more weeks.  I got Ko’gun, Hammer of the Firelord for transmog, way way after I actually wanted it but eh good enough.  Anyway I am not, not doing FL for a few more months. No way.  We did a full clear last night though.

Haven’t done arena with anyone in 2 weeks, Ladiesman hasn’t been on, Ultrabomber hasn’t, Acks, no one really.  I just give up on anyone but my priest, who just uses VP for CP now.  There’s a lot more activity in trade people looking for 2’s cap though so maybe I’ll try that.

Satchels are not always worth it

Same old same old lately, missed FL this week because I had to work late Wed. Got the Ledger of Revolting Rituals on my shaman though I’d prefer the shield during DS10. Haden’t gotten anything lately so that was nice.

Ran DS10 in the “alt” group on my priest and won healing plate BS plans, Dragonfire Orb offhand, and the glove token. We also went on to get Deathwing the next day so I got that achievement. I feel a little funny when Angelic says things like “we need a good healer” repeatedly when talking to me, or other such comments. I don’t know if that means he thinks I’m one, or, not. Anyway a rogue named Effects was really obnoxious that fight.

My random healy dungeons continue to be mostly Rag/Goldrinn/ etc all Portuguese groups and it’s getting rather annoying. Today we wiped on End Time with an all Goldrinn group, on that dumb moon lady when I got stunned and the tank went down too fast to recover. They said a ton of stuff that I couldn’t understand, then we wiped on Baine when they were in the lava too long. Some of the phrases included “patience of a saint for this garbage healer”, and “healer doesn’t understand us”. Before I knew that though I decided a satchel wasn’t worth it and left.

Then the next run I got complimented on my healing and when I mentioned the group before got “well you can’t heal stupid”. I laughed at that.

Dude stfu

Ran DS last night on my shaman, could not get Blackhorn down, and the annoying pally was with us. I think he just likes to hear himself talk, even after it’s been said, many times that the only alchemist is Lila on her alt, he asks if we have an alchemist, then asks if anyone has conc pots, which we’ve never had, then hearths to the AH and buys some. He’s also one of the first healers in as long as I can remember who insists on a role check even though he SHOULD know what everyone is doing, then asks for the main tank even though we know that’s always Cinor. On the 3rd boss last night he started randomly asking how to do mouse over macros and asked Shift to paste it in vent, but of course we were like, could you do this SOME OTHER TIME please????

For what feels like the 3rd week in a row, no loot dropped I could even roll on.

AngelicGuard

We did Spine last night and got it, tried Madness but it didn’t work out.  I found it a little amusing that Angelic, who everyone basically dislikes a bit, didn’t have a flask, food, didn’t have conc pots he kept asking for, and did not even have repair money. This is important for later.

Last night I got in on a group led by that pain in the ass paladin, Angelicguard.  He made me go to the clocktower for inspection even though we’ve ran together before, and I’m in 4pc t13 and 392 ilevel. We wiped once when Angelic wiped us because he went “white screen” wiped again when the priest died and it was unrecoverable from a healing stand point, then we took a break for 8 minutes that stretched into around 30 while he brought in his friend a DK, then punted the guy the second Lila logged in.  He’s crushing on her hard, I thought it was pretty funny.

During this Angelic was offering to buy a flask from someone, and pay for the mats for a cauldron.  It’s like whoa wait, you were 100% broke last night, what happened?  It was good to get it down, and I ended up respec’ing to take Telluric Currents because this guy was like omg its so op omg and then kept commenting on how, because of him, I kept up my mp so well. I think that had more to do with dropping mana tide every platform and people not taking unnecessary damage, but whatever.  This guy seems like a control freak, repeatedly saying things like “don’t you dare open that chest” or “don’t do hero until I say” over and over, etc. Then after saying we’d never bring him again, Lila invited him and all his alts to guild. Sigh. Jynx is gonna love that.

Get out and Push Healing

Raided FL on my shaman and we two healed up to Rag, but Lila brought along a dps doing 10k in 346 ilevel range, so 2 healing Rag was out of the question and we didn’t even bother. We also had another person doing around 12k so, yeah. I won Jaws of Defeat which brings this char up to the priests level of trinket choices, plus Heart of Unliving.

We did DS the next day and got up to Spine but ran out of time for more attempts. I think we could have gotten it though. I sort of wish we weren’t wasting time in FL over one persons staff. It seems silly to waste the time of 9 other people for an entire night of raiding. to get that one person a weapon.

There was nothing I wanted that dropped on all those bosses. But I am closely approaching 397 ilevel which will be as good as it’s gonna get without heroics.

I change Ocyla’s pve spec to include smite healing since I am no longer raiding and I rather enjoy the “get out and push” dps bonus I bring to parties that aren’t that good. Plus, unlike many atonement spec priests I’ve seen, I can totally NOT atonement heal, or use atonement very little and still bring out respectable numbers. I like it for a more casual play style and gives me something to do when dps is slow and there’s not much else to do.
