Ran on my priest with A9N again and picked up the heroic Petrified Fungal Heart, normal version of Cord of the Slain Champion even though I already had a 397 belt, but I was the only clothie, and got Janglespur Jackboots to finally replace my heroic Coalwalker Sandals from Firelands.

We also got down heroic Skittles (Yor’sahj) and tried heroic Ultraxion but there was some fuss with the fading light and dps so we only tried twice.

And, ok. I liked Firelands and I liked the heroic fights I got to do or try (Shannox, Rhyolith, Staghelm, Alysrazor) but so far I don’t like any of the DS fights on normal or heroic. They are either “bleh” or just not fun to do. Morchock and Yor’sahj are just sort of bleh whatever, Ultraxion is just heal your ass off and hit a button sometimes, Spine is “do healing on people who don’t need it because of a stupid debuff”, and heroic Skittles is, don’t heal people too much, which is just dumb. I don’t like it. The only fight that is remotely engaging is Blackhorn, imo.

Did a full clear, with Morchock on heroic, with A9N last night.  They tear through bosses like mad, every fight was like half the length that it takes Relentless to do.  I got a BOE belt which I equipped and the tier robe. I really didn’t need it since I had 2 other 397 robes but eh I got 5/5 atm so whatever. Can also switch it around if need be.

Something that pisses me off raw though, dps that go afk without warning and magically come back after a full clear of trash is done.  Or go afk and not say a word, for like 10 mins.A tank can’t get away with that because the whole group has to wait.  A healer can’t usually do that because the whole group has to wait, or risk a wipe if the tank isn’t notified first (so no random afking).

A warlock from RS did that last night, and was gone for all the slime trash and then was kicked, but came back mid boss, but left at Ultraxion.  They think he was upset about not winning the belt, which they said he already had.

Tonight did a full clear on my shaman with Relentless and for some inconceivable reason we keep bringing Branders with. I focus’d him and inspected again. Apparently Lila got him to enchant, but he went at least 4 fights never casting  Greater Healing Wave.  It was just riptide, chain heal, healing wave, and healing rain. During high damage stack phases he just cast healing wave.  I never saw spirit link totem either.   He also kept overwriting my earth shield on Cinor, except for one fight where I told him to knock that shit off because I needed to have it up since I was healing in melee range.  The normal version of Heart of Unliving dropped and THANK THE LIGHT I beat that shaman over that, or my rage quitting would be put all others to shame.

We did our 2nd team DS last night but it just went bad. We were down a tank so Peejay agreed to come on his druid, we got the first boss down but then wiped over and over on the second. The pug pally was doing 10k dps, no one was moving away from the ball, and after about 3 wipes Spartan gave lead to Lila to “check some things” and PJ and I both called it and said he was gonna ninja log, which he did, with his hunter friend.

The rest of the raid was a mess, taking forever to do loot, do each pull, etc. We didn’t even get Hagara. Apparently our priest decided to not reforge like I said to again, and is back to a messed up disc spec with 1 point in atonement and evangelism and none in archangel. We fixed that month or so ago so I don’t know why it’s messed up again.
