Did arena today with Ladiesman’s alliance rogue, and we went 4-1 which was enough to get me cap for the week. Our only loss was a rshaman/DK match which, whatever I’d rather just log tbh.

Murkbottom
Funny thing, I had Murkbottom on my friends list for a long time because he said he wanted to try arena sometime, but we never did anything or talked much after that. So yesterday I removed him from my list, then today I was asked to do 5’s. We went 5/8 which wasn’t too bad, but the last fight had 3 arcane mages which was just dumb.
I queued for a “regular” heroic and got SFK which I hate, and apparently the pally healer hated mages because I did not get a heal, at ALL, until I died on the second gruop to trash. I was at 20%, ice blocked the full duration, got no heals, got no heals after that, then got brought up to 40% so I guess I got slight heals and was just left that way until I died. I left that group. Got dungeon deserter so switched to the priest.
8-10 ouch
Tried 3’s with Jan and Nilv, and we went oh, 8-10 I think it was. I need a lot of practice on my mage for sure but a few fights I know we should have had but things went poorly for whatever reason, like the time we killed a warrior and we had 3 to 2 but we still lost. I have no idea how that happened.
Karmarouge
Ran 2’s with Karmarouge again, and won 4 lose 2 before he (I assume he) had to go. One loss we just quit because the fight would have gone on for max time, easy. It was a feral druid and a resto shaman. I could not MC the druid of course, nor the shaman since they were in spirit wolf form the majority of the time. I also could not burn the shaman since they ran around as a speedy wolf, breaking LoS constantly, and even if I had them locked in fear and burned, it wasn’t enough. So, we just gave up, that would have been a giant waste of time.
We had another win that took longer than it should have, against a feral druid, again, whose partner we killed, so he just cast HoTs and went into travel form and ran and ran. That pissed us both off. Added at least 5 extra minutes to the fight dealing with that stupid shit. But thus far I find them to be a rather agreeable partner, who seems to accept that there are some 2’s comps we won’t win against. I am ok with that, but not every one is.
Firelands Quests
Well, making some progress on the Firelands quests.
Catching up over the weekend, we got down MajorDomo Staghelm and I got the Jaws of Defeat trinket. Then we went on to work on Ragnaros and made it to second phase a few times.
I was loathe to give up Core of Ripeness as a mana regen tool for the Eye of Blazing Power, so I equipped the Jaws item instead. The Eye trinket, I may equip for battlegrounds or arena though, might be useful, or on fights where I know I can manage my mp fine with with my normal class utilities.
I tried to run RBGs last night but got in bad ones where we got Twin Peaks twice, and were destroyed each time. I got CC’d so hard I couldn’t do anything and died. Basically we had a FC and 2 healers running the flag, and the rest of the dps were supposed to be handling mid. Instead it ended up where the FC and I ran through mid with the opposing team having EVERYONE there, and we got rolled. Didn’t get a single flag capture.
Then stayed up way, way too late doing arena with Jan.
but I am very grateful I got close to cap, I thought I might miss it this week again. I’ve done very little arena this season so far.
