Too often we bemoan people and the game, but today I wanted to thank a couple of people because they have made me complete. By me, I of course mean my mage, and by extension – my self happiness.
Last night, we wanted to do FL and get some Rag lovin’. We were short, so we pugged a couple of people, one had a Rag’s lockout. WOOT!
I cannot express how happy I am right now 🙂 It has been an absolutley epic day!! EPIC!!!
It started off with Molten Core rep farming and DING!
MC was my first ever raid, and I never ran it enough to get exalted back in vanilla – only honoured, it has taken me years to get it done. I really wanted it to be completed before MoP – I just had to find the time to do it! Next is BT which I only have to clear 5 times.
I also found fantastic transmog robes – I love them!! I have since discovered finding things to match it will be a problem. I will persevere though, there has to be some sort of outfit I can make with them.
The image doesnt really show the lovely leaves around the back and gorgeous detail. I really love them though!! So I am on a mission now!!
I then did LFR on my druid and scored my tier leggings, which gives me a set of 4 now. I am so wrapped as that was the last piece I was chasing 🙂 I will continue to gear her up with VP gear and LFR stuff, but I can do 10 mans on her now as she s above the 385 ilevel that a lot of people ask for.
Anyway after a few false starts for DS pugs, we just always had a couple short that we couldn’t find, and so would wait around 40 minutes then disband. So after some more waiting around, I found a group made up of people from he previous pug I had run which was a success.
That is Deathwing – DEAD!!!!! After all the horrific PUGS in the last few weeks I never thought it would happen. We would get so close and then just not go anywhere.
I also got the 25,000 Valor Point achievement as well but my screenshotter didn’t get it. I thought it was kind of cool that I scored that achievement with the DW one.
Then I had an epic roll of 98 to win the Staff 🙂
So after all that excitement I decided to log off and just bask in the fantastic day I just had! I am content now, I have killed DW on 10man, I just have to get Rags down and I will be completely up to date and ready for MoP 🙂 I can just focus on chasing the achievements I want to!!
I was going to do LFR on my druid last night and ended up going to DS with a pug – guild group with a few short. This guild clears heroic bosses, so I had high hopes of it being successful.
Overall it was, we started at 8 or 8.30pm and it went until 11.45pm, by which stage I had to leave and so did a few others. We wiped once on Warmaster, and then wiped about 4 times on Spine.
So I have yet to kill DW. Last nights run was the closest so far, and I will keep trying. It was a pretty good group and they were a pretty fun bunch of people until the wiping starting and then it got tense.
They are recruiting people and kept making commenting but they are far too hardcore for my tastes. The raid leader said they stopped running 25 mans because it was too hard to single out individuals who sucked.
That’s a pretty harsh reason for people not to run 25 mans, but that is my opinion and I am sure it is quite fair for hardcore guilds. But it just reinforces my confusion about raiding. I was pretty high DPS most of the night except on fights like Warmaster where I have never ever done well, but I really felt like an idiot most of the night because they seemed to be able to play so much better….but then…a hunter and DK…were giving me a run for my money – I have to remember that neither of those classes has DPS issues though – face roll much :p
(watch all the hunters and DK’s fire up :p)
I did cop flack for using food and potions, and then later about some stuff on my gear. Neither impressed me at all. I am not in a top end raiding guild, and even if I was I would still do the same anyway I think. I like using different foods and potions on different fights, and at the end of the day, that small amount is not going to make the difference in a fight.
I hate it when people assume everyone else is an idiot and don’t know anything about the game. I know how to get my toon ready for raiding – and I am sorry, a +40 gem over a +20 gem (an example only people!) is NOT going to make such a huge difference that you will be able to see it on the logs – END OF STORY! Certainly not with a player like me who is not ever going to be in a Top 10 guild and perhaps on patchwerk it might because there is no interruption to a perfect rotation, but in the current fights….no way.
Anyway, I had fun last night and it was great to get through so much as quickly as we did. I was not having a super night with my procs…which annoyed me a little as my DPS was not as high as I have seen it. But hey, that is fire spec 😀
I am a little ranty today 🙂 Sorry. It was meant to be an upbeat post about my enjoyment last night!
and it is why i join guilds for raiding – expecting to see content.
I went on a DS 10 man PUG this morning, as in, I started at 11.30 or so? It is now, 4.20pm and we are still trying to kill Hagara. Admittedly at 2.20 we had a 50 minute break until about 3.15pm. Hagara down at 4.30pm. We are now waiting to do Ultraxion trash, I will be leaving after we do Ultrax as there is no way this group can do Warmaster.
Now, don’t get m wrong, they were a very very nice bunch of people, but i spent over 300g in repairs and I got nothing out of it except annoyance. Most people would ask why i hung around, and i still have no die, I kept hoping we would get better…..that it was just the first boss, then well it was a fuck up on the send…you know…I just kept hoping…
Now, the tank has left because of lag and we need to find another person to replace him, this has happened on every single fucking boss. We lose someone after each wipe, so then we spend 20 minute looking for another person and I tell you now…..I AM OVER IT!
I should have left after the first wipe, but two healing zonozz with 2 shammies isn’t the best idea…no matter how good they appear to be.
We wiped on Ultrax trash, then had to wipe on Ultrax because someone left and we couldn’t summon the replacement in the shadow realm, then they called it because another person had to leave. 5pm.
Seriously?!?!?!?!? Aside from the one Ulduar run I did a few months ago to get my mount – that is the calibre of the PUGS I am always in. whY!?!?!!?!??!
Why do people say they know the fights in LFR when they can’t avoid the fucking ice crystals on hagara, or that PURPLE IS THE FIRST COLOUR, or that you have to jump into the red crystals (ok bad example there) – clearly YOU DONT KNOW THE FIGHT?!?!!?!?
I am annoyed with myself more than anything for wasting an entire day only clearing 4 bosses…Oh god…I hate my WoW life. I was top DPS all day though by a fair bit..a hunter was close to me most of he time, about 5k difference.
This was spurred on by the LFR I joined before the DS pug, as healer, they had no tanks so i offered to switch then as I was doing so a bear ran into the mobs and grabbed 2 groups of slimes…..I dumped that one straight away. Why did I not do the same thing when everyone else “Dc’D” to get out of the run after one wipe!!!
I hate pugs. I hate everything. I hate hate hate people who can’t admit they don’t know what they are doing, and I HATE IT when people just keep being dumbarses!
/end rant
/maybe
/start sobbing hysterically.
All I wanted was to kill Deathwing on 10 man to complete my achievement. That’s all. Maybe I should pay a guild for a run??? That’s not a bad idea.
