Ran two EotS and we rocked both, I threw so many people to their deaths down the hole people were laughing about it.
Then got in a Cho’gall kill but it took 3 attempts. I still did full worships half of the time and no one broke hardly any of them. I had 45% of the healing done, 15k hps and 4,835,723 overall healing done. The next in line had 24% healing, 7,300 hps and only 2,621,710 heals as a shaman and the paladin had 22%, 7,400 hps and 2,392,005 heals. Nothing I needed dropped.
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.
Sigh. So! Even though we had 9/10 guildies and were only missing Nilvana, and even though we said we were trying heroics, SJ decided we would NOT do heroics, because Nilvana was gone. The paladin healer we pugged was doing fine, it wasn’t heals. We wiped on Halfus at least once, the dragons at least once.. I mean, the nights are starting to blur together. Anyway about an hour and a half into it, we got to the Ascendant Council and wiped over and over and over. People getting others killed with lightning rod, the DK dying repeatedly every fight by not getting the air buff, etc. It wasn’t heals.
Oh, and I got thrown into the lava, by the stairs, for the first time EVER.
Do you remember, when we use to clear 9/12, or close to it, in one night? I know, me neither.
Tonight we had a fun run scheduled but I ended up more stressed than anything. We took over an hour to fill the group, and while waiting I was looking up gear for guildies. One was missing an enchant as a shaman and was missing 4 mail pieces. Another was missing 5 glyphs, another 3 glyphs, and a few had under the requested 355 item level, by more than a few points. Another was like 343 ilevel and known to have bad dps just from dungeons. So, good times.
The shaman we brought is also known for being bad, and they did not help themselves by repeatedly saying, in raid no less, things like “I’m lagging a bunch”, “I’ve never healed this before”, “I don’t know these fights at all” etc. We had a real ass shaman from guild Void named Coolaid, something I think, who was continually snotty in vent, but did accurately point out that said shaman was misgeared, to which we gave her standard ballsy reply of “yeah I know I’m here for gear” which is the same thing she said in a ZG run when people busted on her terrible dps. They also had terrible healing at 5k overall and per fight. Anyway the people that did not know the twin dragon fight didn’t speak up, we wiped the first attempt, and when the second one went poorly the guy logged out mid raid. Ass. He was the kind that doesn’t say anything during a fight to help out but speaks up after the fact, which to me is just too late.
We got up to Ascendant Council but people didn’t know that fight, combined with the terrible healing and dps, we tried twice and quit. I did end up with Book of Binding Will, but I’d rather spend my limited time playing getting very little done, doing something else. I am enjoying the tricks of a mage again though, popping out of stuns to do interupts and such. I need to make a stop casting macro for my counterspell though.
We were supposed to do Cho’gall tonight but once again we didn’t have enough people, ended up having a meeting for an hour, and went to do other things. I ran some dungeons on my shaman, a little upset about the hour lost again, then tried some 2v2’s with a paladin in guild named Ticktockdead. We lost every fight, even though they lasted quite a long time. He was in mostly 333 or 346 PVE blues, so that explains that.
