So continuing with the Bad Apples……
On Friday I got asked if I’d like to go to a continuation raid of Icecrown Citadel 10 man. I turned it down because it meant that I wouldn’t get the weekly raid (Marrowgar must die) as they had already passed him. I’ll come back to that in a bit.
On Saturday I queued in looking for raid for a Pickup group to do this quest. The first group took ages to get together and what’s worse they had already started but not finished the trash. Ring those Alarm bells! We managed only one attempt. During which Dollydagger typed:
raid Dollydagger: heal raid Dollydagger: heal me pls
Fortunately I don’t get much chance to read Raid Chat during an encounter or Dollydagger would have been one of the first to DIE!
After the attempt the following conversation took place:
raid Dollydagger: wtf ... raid Dollydagger: roflmao! raid Dollydagger: roflmao! raid Dollydagger: roflmao! raid Badal: this is not dps raid Dollydagger: heal raid Melih: damn healer we lose 3 dpses raid Dollydagger: heal in impale damn you! raid Melih: 4 raid Dollydagger: healer great job! (sarcasm?) raid Dollydagger: OMG U RLY DONT KNOW TACTS raid deleted: your talking to me right raid Flowersz: who are you talking to. raid Flowersz: there are 9 other "you"'s
And then Dollydagger quit. After he’d gone someone posted
raid deleted: Recount - Healing Done for Overall Data raid deleted: 1. Carline 1197332 (3639.2, 39.7%) raid deleted: 2. Flowersz 999434 (3204.3, 33.1%) raid deleted: 3. deleted 756259 (2611.0, 25.1%)
And I can say 3k+ HPS is red hot for me and the total healing was way way above what should be needed on this fight.
I’ve kept some of the names on this log because sometimes you have to name and shame, and Dollydagger definitely comes in the shame category, and Melih is worth naming.
So the group disbanded and I queued again. After a, pretty normal by my standards, bit of confusion about gear score (Brefest Regalia For The Win) I was accepted,
2/27 18:54:49.708 [Raid] Slothsloth: Errr...1112gs flowersz? 2/27 18:55:01.702 [Raid Leader] Azda: no 2/27 18:55:08.035 [Raid Leader] Azda: 5071 2/27 18:55:14.469 [Raid Leader] Azda: ? see 5071 2/27 18:55:21.041 [Raid] Flowersz: sorry, I'll put on my healing stuff 2/27 18:55:25.950 [Raid] Flowersz: this is my "around town" 2/27 18:55:35.246 [Raid] Flowersz: try again
Only to be kicked (I have to say with my full agreement) because I wasn’t up for doing a full run, just the first boss.
So no weekly raid quest completion – I should have taken up Friday’s invite, at least I’d have been doing something useful and probably gathered a couple of Emblems of Frost while I was at it.
And so onto Sunday, a 25 man guild raid on ToC. Very slow starting, like 45 minutes late because we had to find 5 extra bodies! But we did get as far as downing the Faction Champions, Flowersz got a belt upgrade and passed on two other caster (mainly resto) Mail pieces, one because it was too small an upgrade, and the other because it was a definite downgrade. On the healy meters…. I was worried because the first fight I recorded (Jax) showed Flowersz at 6th out of 6 healers, behind the raid leader! The Faction champions put that right, and she came in at 3rd behind the two druids. She always comes behind the druids, I think that’s just how the game is at the moment. Anyway I’m not worried that Flowersz is going to be a burden on the Bad Apples. Sometimes Flowersz does come low on the meters because I have a habit of not healing if it looks like the rest of the team are more than adequate to the job.
As usual I did the daily Random Heroics over the weekend. Absolutely nothing to say, these are getting very close to a 45 minute quest in difficulty, just: queue, do the kills, leave. The bosses do more talking than the other players. Unless I’m grouped with a Munqui, which happens more often than I’d expect, then there’s time for a bit of fun…
