These past few weeks have been pretty stale in game on my Shaman, been having difficulties replacing our magical disappearing bear tank (douche...) with someone that can raid for more then one day a week /sigh. Last week though, we finally managed to kill Heroic Hagara! It took a lot of work and quite a bit of coordination, but we pulled it off; just minutes after our guilds other group killed her. Onto Heroic Blackhorn hopefully this week, we may actually be able to catch up with the other Alliance guilds on the server!
Kind of in relation to us killing Hagara I guess, Blizz put in place their next nerf to Dragon Soul this past week with the encounters doing 20% less damage and having 20% less health helps things along. I'm not entirely in favor for continuing to nerf it after the first three times, but it will help us complete the instance before Mists comes out (hopefully), so that part will be awesome.
Haven't been doing much CDO stuff in the past while, I probably should be completing my Best in Slot gear spreadsheet.....but yeah....haven't gotten around to it like usual! I'll probably start working on it again shortly while I have some time with the servers down. Not much to do when people are actually willing to do the research themselves, which is awesome but makes my job pretty boring!
I started trying to raid on my Hordie recently, and apparently on Illidan that is next to impossible! Every PUG (Pick Up Group) seems to require an achievement and a certain iLvl that is way over what you would expect to do Dragon Soul. So, since I couldn't find a PUG that wouldn't require an achievement I joined a guild that completed regular DS and looking for a paladin healer. I first thought, "Cool, I'll get my achievement, stay if I like the guild and leave if I don't", but was I so terribly wrong...
I went to their raid and we breezed through most of the first seven bosses, you know fine, looks good. Get to Madness of Deathwing and it's a totally different story..... essentially there wasn't enough dps. Two of them doing just enough damage to be over the tank. So they're talking about what the problem could be, the raid lead not having any addons to tell him the amount of damage/healing being done, and they start to assume that I'm the problem as I'm the least geared. Little did they know that whenever the raid lead did go heals so we could three heal it that I was outhealing him....but that's my fault right? I insisted they replace me multiple times and be ignored, you know what? Whatever. We make it through the night and the next still not killing Madness because things are being killed too slow, but no one listens that the dps aren't doing enough, it's still my fault because of my gear.
So, I get pissed off because they're obviously a bunch of idiots who don't like listening to reason, and so I gquit the next day. Get whispered by the GM (Guild Master in this case) wanting to know why I left, I don't want to talk with him so I place him on ignore. He gets pissed, logs to another toon, reports me as being hacked and tells me. I unblock him and tell him that I'm not hacked and I left because I didn't enjoy myself in the guild. He gets all pissy because I blocked him in the first place and tells me that me doing that doesn't help the guild. All the while I'm thinking "Why would I care about your guild if I left it?!". I mail him later with what happened and some tips and he starts harassing me, calling me a child and sending me mail for two days straight calling me down because I placed him on ignore. He's finally left me alone thank god, but if he mails or whispers me again I'm reporting him for harassment, there's no need for name calling when I was trying to give him the advice he wanted.
Hoping that my next guild goes better, would love to get the achieve for killing Madness on normal so I can PUG when I want :).
