Defender of a Shattered World

Jul3

Got my Defender of a Shattered World title, never thought I’d have it on my mage rather than on the priest who ran raids 3-4 times every week for months.

For some reason I had never finished Heroic Throne of Tides, which I did today.  We wiped at least 7 times, 2 of which I avoided, and we ended up kicking a bad hunter doing 5k dps, using a tank pet.  When they told him to bring out a dps pet, and the guy had no idea what to do.  I did a vote kick with the reason “too stupid to play” which the other members enjoyed as the guy was kicked.

I’m sorry if you are 85 and don’t know what a dps pet is, just quit.

Ala’kir Down

Jul3

Last night we got down Ala’kir, but I did not get my shattered title since I never did Throne of Tides heroic.  Go figure!

Afterwards we went to Firelands and tried Shannox.  Fun fight, I liked it a lot.  We got him to 400k once, but people getting trapped in crystal traps too much, really put a damper on things.  If you have to spend 30 seconds dpsing a crystal trap, plus the person inside isn’t doing anything for that one, it’s hard to recover from.  One a fight is ok but it seemed 2 or more, you may as well just wipe.  I got caught in one in several attempts well after midnight but that was it.

One of the healers in the group seems to have continual computer problems though.  They are lagging, disconnecting, going random afk without saying anything, etc.  It’s a little frustrating to wipe on a boss then find out your healer was afk because they were outside yelling at a dog or something without mentioning it.  This is probably why most raids have rules about afking like that.

Mage T11

This week I was invited to team 3’s raid where we had planned on clearing out all raids.  We did all of BoT and I got the shoulders from Cho’gall, got a spirit helm (crown of burning waters) which was a massive upgrade from the 346 blue I still had, got a nice crit trinket  (Bell of Enraging Resonance) I will use when I make a frost raid spec (arcane is so boring) and we cleared all of BWD.

It’s kind of like Wrath all over again when I finally got the LK down after so many fails where it’s like, that was it? Granted it has been nerfed, so it’s easier but I can definitely say whatever went wrong the other times, it wasn’t healers causing the trouble.  And now finally, all my gear MATCHES!

We should be trying for Ala’kir tomorrow.  That will be interesting since I’ve only ever healed, and on the Rohash platform.

Cataclysmicly Superior

Jun28

Finally got my fire mage robes, now that my VP turned into JP and I can buy them. 2pc ftw! I also picked up a 359 ring, Signet of High Arcanist Savor, from a croc in TB the other day on my priest which I equipped, getting me the Cataclysmicly Superior achievement.

Port? Port? Port?

The queue for the frost lord, is long. 30 mins, really? Geez. Can’t even stand around SW for 2 mins without getting asked for a port either. This must be why Rexe always hangs out in Exodar.
