Progression/Ilvl/Skill

Our raid team has been working on Garrosh and some people of the team have convinced themselves that their gear is not up to par and there is only one way to kill him. Everyone has an ilvl of 560+, so there shouldn't be any reason why we can't and this frustrates me. Our team in the past had an open mind on trying encounters slightly different then the most common method and it worked for us. Now a days, people are so closed minded on how to do things and that there is only one and nothing different can be successful. The collapse of our team is imminent, just who will be the first to burst? When it comes to ilvl/gear and it being the only reason in people's minds why we can't kill a certain boss, I say it helps for a faster kill but skill is equally important to success. Skill will help you move and be aware of whats going on and gear helps you perform those tasks....both equally important. So if you suck, you suck....if you have gear and die, get better and don't die....if you have a willingness to learn and try new things, you have potential.

LFR Let Down and Awesomeness

Tonight I was on one of my alts playing away in lfr doing terrace of endless springs trying to get a new weapon upgrade instead of sporting my heroic weapons. 1st attempt: got the 3rd boss down and then BLAH! Disconnected and can not log back in. Ok fine, it happens. So I reque......2nd attempt:fresh start, going good, then 3rd boss down again....disconnected again! WTF? By this time you can imagine the cursive words coming out at that time. Ok, calmed down and requed. 3rd attempt: 3rd boss down....and Success! No dc. Got to the sha, pew pew and down he goes. Got a new one hander, used my bonus roll and I git another one. Awesome! Two one handers off same boss. Couldn't be more thrilled, what a rollercoaster of moods, at least I was happy in the end.

One versus the Other One

How come in one realm, someone could be so great but in another realm not so hot? Is it because where they are great, they are surrounded by people they have raided with them for so long that it doesn't matter how good you are? In my opinion I play a pretty decent healer, but I just can't take it when someone says I can't.....it takes almost everything I got to not let them "accidently" die.There are only so many classes that can heal, so I play a 2nd toon of a druid heals in two different realms. Both are even in specs, vary slightly in gear, but apparently can't heal in the other realm.

Douche

The other night was raid night doing a few heroic ds10 attempts. Nothing is worse in my opinion when I make a comment about what happened on my part healing and someone that is very vocal taking it the wrong way and making it sound like it was my fault that we didn't get it. All I was doing was making a comment about how spread out we were and couldn't reach everyone then his response was...maybe move up and then you can reach all and problem solved. No! That does not solve the problem. I could move all I want and still be out of range of at least one. I am a shammy! If I was a druid, it would make it a bit earlier with the hots, all I have for a hot is riptide and then grace to heal while moving(with a cd of couple mins). A simple solution I mentioned was taking the 3rd dps and putting them with one of the other 2 dps I was watching and moving over to next when theirs were down. What a douche when he can't take a simple suggestion.

Another One Bites The Dust

Last night our guild got another heroic boss kill for our progression. If blizzard didn't have the nerfs added to the game, I'm not sure if we would have got it down.  Some days I wish I wasn't a healer so I wouldn't heal my ass off when we get to heroic bosses.  Dps have it easy, pew pew pew pew loot. It's probably not that easy, but a healers job is never easy when it comes to heroic attempts.  Any ways...Woot another heroic boss down!

Shh Now Mr. Know It All

When a group of people come together to go raiding with week after week, year after year, you know how each other plays and what your capable of.  What bothers me when someone in the raid group thinks he knows everything and i mean everything. When he starts to speak, he sounds as if everyone else in the group sucks and can't do a simple task such as pressing 1 little button when they are suppose to. Unlike him, I have faith that everyone can do that without an issue.  Sometimes I wish and pray that his kids would press his mute button on his vent more often. Sorry but you need to shush and keep your comments to your self if your going to have negative views on the capable people that you have been raiding with.

Give Notice

A new day, a new healer we must find. Just like near the end of wrath days, the healer leaves and might not come back at all. With only a few hours notice of him leaving, I was left wondering wth!!? To anyone who plays the game and decides or at least thinking about leaving the game for good and you tend to raid in a consistent group....please give them a week to find someone new. Heroic attempts were slightly harder with our regular healer gone and pugging in  a new person to just fill the spot. 
It can be very frustrating sometimes when someone else just isn't into the game as much as yourself. Damn those people with real lives! 

Easy Peasy

Last night our regular raid team gets set up and goes into DS10 like normally. Things go well, bosses dying and before we knew it, all of them were dead. Well what the heck...Tuesday night with nothing left to do for the week on our mains. We would have done heroic modes, but our full team wasn't with us and we didn't want to do it without all there. Tonight we started to do FL10 and it was going fine, but we didn't get it all finished in time before people had to leave. I suppose tomorrow is the alt run for DS and can make it feel like a challenge again.
