The past two nights of raids have been… frustrating. We’re working on SSC this week, and everyone showed up Tuesday night ready to kick butt. Tanks were assigned, healers were put in order, Hunters got their misdirects. You could feel the eagerness in the raid. We were there to kill. Three bosses in two hours? You are SO on.
End result? Two bosses and a lot of “…whut?” People’s timing was just ever so slightly off. It never went “OMG! DOOM!” wrong, but it wasn’t one of our better efforts. There was a lot of honest confusion as to what was causing the weirdness. So last night, once more into the breach we go… and had the same thing happen. This time though, it took us most of the two hours to get up and running, then we finally downed Tidewalker. Multiple wipes, multiple times, including one where The Boyfriend died within the first 7 seconds. As he was the Main Tank, it was a Bad Thing.
I hate those nights where things just won’t work out. You don’t know why it’s being such a pain, but things are just messed up all over the place. It wasn’t like quicksand, where not matter how hard you struggle, you just sink faster and deeper. This was just totally random. One boss fight would go 8 minutes, the next 30 seconds. It just ends up being a frustrating experience for everyone, knowing that you can down this guy, but something in the fates is giggling at your guild flinging themselves into battle.
Tonight’s ZA and I hope, I really hope, that whatever’s plagued us the past couple of days goes away and we can get back on track for Saturday. Otherwise, this is just going to be a painful 4 hours tonight. :;sigh::
