HEAL PLZ

Nov20

Get in a WSG group and we’re failing terrible and horde gets all 3 flags and us not even a single one. It’s one of those where you just want to say, just let them have it.  We’re stupid and don’t know how to play together. 36 honor on that one.

Next one is EotS and absolutely no one is communicating again and we are all over the place and lose horribly. I go and take Fel Reaver Ruins my freaking self and get to stand around listening to people say things like “inc mage”.  INC MAGE WHERE????  We lose, what a surprise.  29 honor.

AB is after that, and we are communicating which makes me very happy. Apparently this is part of an alliance pre made since someone from Ravencrest is saying “pugs” defend.  I really must start running premade because PUGS just make me angry face.  We win, I earn 4th highest honor at 145.

Then my un-friend Soulprince asks me to do the event bosses.  Well why not. We get in and he asks how to tank it.  We all get frozen shortly after and I die. We all die.

Soul says he can’t interupt because he’s a) busy tankin’ and b) not” looking” to interrupt anything. He tells the pally to stun the boss.  /facepalm.   We get it after much arguing about who is doing what. We end up getting it the second time however

After that we do the guy in AQ with no deaths.  I don’t get so much as a thank you for helping out. I scroll back up in my text in case I missed it, but rather than a thanks I see I missed this

OOOOOH!  That bugs me to NO ENDS even back in Lineage 2 when people would do that, in pvp especially.  I pm him and tell him I know what I’m doing he doesn’t have to tell me to heal.  I get a “srry” because it’s so hard to type an O but that’s it.  And for the record, I always thank tanks that run me through stuff as a favor.

Hm. Speaking of favors, I recall I do need the fire boss, so I tell him I still need the fire boss because I missed the quest.  This is only minutes after defeating the last boss he needed, mind you.  He said well I’m in my guilds ICC 10 cont.  That was fast, I say.  He says they are on Sindragosa and might get LK tonight.  I’ll slit my wrists if that guy gets it before me.

Later that night we get down Blood Queen on the second attempt, and amazingly one shot Sindragosa. Oh I’m feeling this tonight, I am!  Unfortunately the first tries at LK get NEARLY to 3rd phase then get worse and worse after that.  The 25 man folds.

I get in on the 10 man and the holy priest, who had very low heals, comes with too.  She doesn’t appear to be doing very much HPS but threw me under the bus about not dispelling her, even though she was nowhere near the horror.  She was at 2k, as holy, and I was at 8k at disc.  Go fig.  I couldn’t tell that she was healing anything.  During the 2rd attempt she rezzes, takes the sickness and DC’s with no warning.  We did not get a LK kill tonight, and it was so late we just gave up.  Not really upset about it though.

I end up dropping my current guild and join up with this one however, since I’ve been raiding with them anyway and our activity in the other one has been next to nothing for months.

Yeah I’m a baddie who needs add-ons

Well now.  Despite what stupid people are saying in trade chat, I am at quite the loss on mass healing without my Xperl raid frames.  People seem to think frames or healbot heals FOR YOU and it doesn’t, it just improves the interface so you can easily see 5 to 25 OR MORE players hp bars in one convenient, customizable interface. It’s not the L2 kind of botting.

Hopefully that will get updated in a few days.

In the meantime I manage to run Drak’Tharon Keep.  The damage of the party overall is still way out of line of the bosses, and we kill the final boss (the one below is the second, Novos the Summoner) when still shape shifted into skeletons.  I’ve never seen that happen before.

I try running a battleground afterwards and get WSG, which is constantly available probably from people testing their skills and interfaces.  I give up though for a number of reasons, mostly because the hp bars aren’t working, my raid frames aren’t working, and the built in heal-bot like health frames appear to be non-customizable and visually aren’t working for me.  That and a Horde shadow priest and a frost mage were able to kill me repeatedly, even though I could not see them, at the graveyard (GY).  Spells appeared to be cast from nothing.

I think other than running my daily I’ll have to cut back playing to farming herbs until they get stuff fixed up a bit.

The Honor Crunch

Sep5

Now I understand why the Wrathful set doesn’t require arena rating, and why Blizzard won’t pull the items back.  They take A LOT of honor and it’s harder to get now.  For example I ran an EoTS and had 70 HK’s and only earned about 50 honor. So yeah.

I’m generally top damage in battlegrounds now though, in fact in this picture I was the only person at a base and I got to enjoy watching a Horde warlock stare at me for a while, run back and forth, then I waved, and he decided to go elsewhere XD

During all this a certain guild member asked if I have Alchemy.  Yes on my priest.  He asked if I can transmute a gem, yes.  He said he may have the mats.  I reminded him that one cannot transmute anything with no materials, meaning it’s bad enough he wants me to use up my transmute cool down of 24 hours for him, but also use up my own mats. I finish up my BG and note that he has said “I have the gem silver” a few times, which I take to mean he has the items I need to transmute.

I switch to the priest only to have him say that he already found someone to transmute his gem, or he bought it, something like that.  Once again I am reminded why I need to ignore any favor requests from this person, because he does that ALL THE TIME. He also asked Maice to cut it for him, then went AFK or something with Maice asked if he was ready, and didn’t come back for a good 10 minutes.  Bleh.

We got nothing with no tanks

Sep3

I see two different groups trying for the Lich King tonight so I switch to my mage and join up.  The group “only” needs 2 tanks and 2 healers which is little better than “we got nothing”.

We get the healers and the tank and have the usual bout of retards who can’t get into vent, or don’t have headsets, etc. I more or less tell one of them they are being stupid and they insist they are not. Whatever. Then we get to Sindragosa’s Lair and someone pulls the Whelps with no one ready or buffed.  Then the healer says she doesn’t even fucking know the fight.  Yeah, wow, this is starting out so fail I don’t even know where to go.

More than one person in the group admits they don’t even know the Sindragosa fight so I ask in vent if anyone here has downed the LK yet.  They all say no.  It’s like wow holy shit how can you start up a LK killing group and you don’t even know the fight???  I want to blast them all to cinders where they stand OMG. I am clearly just wasting my flipping time right now, but it’s nearly 10 pm and I’m already locked into this disaster.  Thank GOD in the expansion you won’t get locked unless you down a boss.

Excluding the AOE damage, the dps can only be described as “suck ass” with some people below 5k so we’re clearly going nowhere tonight.  I’ll give it my 3 death try rule though. (I will not die more than 3 times in a pug on anything)

Stuff like this is why people say, MUST KNOW FIGHTS.  It’s because those of us that have run it 10000 times already, don’t have to put up with wet behind the ears people and we don’t have to listen to how to do it for the hundred millionth time. Oh and have the inevitable wipes because people don’t know what to do.

We fail miserably 3x in a row and I tell them it’s later than I thought which is way more polite than I figured I’d be and drop vent and group.  Yeah thanks for wasting my time people. Remind me next time to ask if they have even done LK BEFORE joining. I log out.
