Yey for Real Life crap. :;sigh::

Yesterday was a bit of a weird thing. Bad news, then dealing with bad news, then napping from exhaustion from dealing with bad news, led to me being semi out of it when raid rolled around. Not badly out of it, jsut slightly off-kilter. We have a bunch of new people in the guild and they’re still learning the way we do things. After sitting around a while getting set up, we were off and running. The goal? 3 SSC bosses in 2 hours. Hydross was first, and I noticed that one of our two resist tanks (the other being The Boyfriend) wasn’t talking. Turns out, Tank 2 was sick and only there to do the Hydross fight. After that, he promptly logged. The Boyfriend also was not feeling well (nothing like having the raid leader comment “Damn, dude, you sound rough!”) and most of his instructions were coming via raid chat instead of Vent. Lead Hunter was also not well, I was having back pain, one of the other raid leaders was not 100%, and people were getting irritable all over. Not one of our better nights for real life raid health.

But after the nice Hydross kill, we were down one person from Tank 2 logging. No one else was around, so we shrugged and said “Let’s keep going and see how far we get.” End result? We 24-manned Lurker and Tidewalker, and one-shot them both. Think everyone was just so ready for everything to be over so they could go deal with whatever was causing them issues, everything was getting annihilated.

The plan for tonight is to see if we can one-shot Leo and go take a poke at Karathress. Tomorrow night is ZA, and Friday we go convince Void Reaver to lay down arms and surrender peacefully… or we kick his ass. Either’s good. Nevermind, it’s TK tonight and back to SSC on Friday.

Edit: Leafshine is taking a stand on PvE Tree nerfs. Personally, I’m sick and tired of having the PvE game “broken” because of Arena/PvP. I know WoW was made to be a PvP or PvE game. I get that. It’s lovely. I choose to not PvP in any form cos I’m a huge carebear. But i didn’t join WoW cos it had an uber dueling system in place where I could have a team that could go up against other players. I joined WoW cos of the lore, quests, and ability to go into instances and see big bad ugly things die after they try to eat me and 4/9/19/24/39 of my closest friends. Balance for arena is not the same as balance for endgame. (My opinion, deal.). Please quit trying to “balance” all the classes to compete in Arena and forgetting that we have some @%$#@$ bosses in instances to kill and not everyone in the world wants to PvP. /snark off
