    Hate - Malygos is the weekly.. Always such a hassle finding groups for that.

    Well it could be worse last week was Lord Jaraxxus this week is Lord Marrowgarr both fine choices from Blizzard as a random weekly

    Well couple it with working late tonight and my parents in town tomorrow night for the long weekend which means I'll be looking for a group Monday night.. you know with all the people that tried and failed half a dozen times during the week.

    It's like monday night VoA's, never will you see a more wretched hive of scum and villany.

    I REALLY hope I get home early enough tongiht to get it done.

    I guess finishing the fight in 15 seconds and waiting 4 hours is more (because the people with 5k GS won't be going in that one) as opposed to killing him in 30 seconds after filling the group in about 1 minute.

    Hope: our guild is trying a 25-man ICC for the first time this weekend. Not sure how it will go with Easter, etc. but hoping for good things.

    HATE: I completely forgot about the run, and (since it's never been an issue before) got my main character (dps) locked to an ICC-25 last night. No loot, only killed 2 bosses, and as soon as it broke up, I suddenly remembered about the Sunday raid. :( I feel like the biggest asshole.

    Hope x2: that the RL forgives me, and that I can gear up my alt healer geared enough so that I can help out. And that I never do something so stupid again.

    Not long after you gave up. It lagged out on us once more in the middle of Lana'thel, which was awesome, but didn't crash on us again during our 25-man.

    I know exactly how you feel, but I am that way even with guildies.
    After this weeks ToGC10 attempts one of them pulled me aside, helped me set up a castSequence macro for my little DK and tossed some advice on gear and spec...
    Went to the training dummy and upped my DPS from the raid recount by 400, unbuffed.
    Went to TOC25 yesterday and pulled just shy of 5k for my scrub Blood DPS spec.

    I'm that way with guild runs, too! Like, unless more than 50% of the people in the raid are my friends, or people I play with a lot, I just can't get comfortable with my performance in the raid. Even if it's as good as I can possibly do with my current gear level on a specific fight.

    I still assert that the black heart is a myth.

    Hate: My druid and weren't around for brewfest last year and I really wish I had one of those trinkets on them.

    Happy: Started a fresh ICC 25 last night.

    Hate: Skipped Rot and Fester and went to BQL again. Even with the 10% increase in damage we could only get her to 16% at enrage. Too many people are going down during the air phase. It's really hard to tell what people are doing, but I know they aren't spreading out enough and we can't get enough bites off on our dps to kill her.

    Hope: People learn to get spread out all the way to the walls and let the healers have more of the middle so we can do our job.

    A guildie in our run has an addon that spits out a post-mortem of who had the most shared bloodbolts, I'll see if I can find out which one he uses (it does other ones too, like who stepped in Defile the most, etc). Pretty sure it's not failbot.

    As far as air phases go, I also am pretty sure for the first one we just heal it, but we also have a lot of druids (at least 2 ferals and a oomkin in our 25s), and they are spreadout to help with tranq on the second air phase.

    I "apologized" for not having every piece of BiS gear the instant I dinged 80. I was being sarcastic with them.

    Ecstatic: 10% Icecrown Buff is live!

    Furious Hatred: The elitists whining about it. Oh no! Scrubs will now be downing LK!

    I'm just kinda pissed that it happened to go in this week.

    On my server, my guild is currently the furthest progressed, and has been for most of WotLK. And even though we are the top guild, we maintain a very low key, humble attitude. I think we realize that we're not anywhere near doing any world firsts, so there's no point in spouting off about our accomplishments. The second guild in progression had a brief time of being the top guild during T9 content, and were very vocal silly geese regarding that fact. Even still, the trolls in their guild are very vocal in the trade channel and forums with their claims of being #1.

    Now for the worrisome part. The second progressed guild finally downed LK25 last week, so they finally have access to 25 man hard modes this coming week. This week also happens to be when a large number of my guildies are going to Vegas to hang out, so our raid schedule is going to be thrown all out of whack and possibly put on hold due to not having people to fill the raid. It's questionable whether we will be able to really work at any new hard modes this week at all. Meanwhile, the other guild is going to have the advantage of raiding all week with 5% larger buff than we had over the past few weeks. I can just imagine them pulling ahead of our progression and spouting off about how great they think they are.

    Silly silly geese i tell you.

    I dunno... I hope that I'm worried for nothing.

    Who the hell's second on our server? Cataclysm?

    Buncha fucking scrubs. Not a lot of concern they'll get very far in hard modes.

    Amusing: In a pug working on my rogue the other night, and we're at the beginning buffing out. The mage, out of nowhere, says "Are you in the military?" I assumed he wasn't talking to me, then he's like "Rogue, are you really a First Sergeant IRL?" Then I realized I had been using the title you got from way back in Vanilla for PvPing a little bit.

    I've been doing my part to discourage this behavior on my server. Last week's weekly was Noth, so I decided to get it done on all my characters. When I was on my DK tank and saw someone looking for certain roles for it, I think he also wanted GS. Anyway, he wanted a tank, so I whispered him and told him I'd tank. He sent me an invite and immediately asked me what my GS was. I told him it really didn't matter (my DK is somewhere around 5050 I believe, I don't have GS but some friends of mine told me what mine was a little while ago.) The raid leader didn't push the issue (after commenting something about just wanting to make sure they didn't have scrubs or some shit), but since I was in the raid at that point, it might've just been because he could see my HP.

    Yeah, a 38k unbuffed HP tank just *might* be sufficient for fucking 10-man Noth. Amusingly, that raid started out with a wave of fail. I pulled the first pack inside the entry way, had to ghouls stuck to me like glue, but of course you can't *really* tank the slimes. We lost half the raid because no one was running away from the very slow moving slimes, this was including ranged classes. /facepalm Finished the pull though.

    See Mr Tank? You aren't indispensable.

    It's okay though. Only one person died, and that's because I didn't know he'd pulled that pack until his death. I ran back and picked up that pack, while the one dps who'd gone to the initial pull with me finished off the skelly guards. Popped AoD so the hunter and my ghouls could eat the teleporting shade then tanked the rest of the of mobs down with pro blood tank self healing.

    Really the only inconvenience the ditching healer caused was us having wait while the new guy who got brought in within seconds had to to hoof it to the end of the level.

    I am not sure if this is a fluke, but I have noticed the last couple nights that when I zoned into a half-finished instance, I was right on top of the group, in one case 3 pulls from the last boss in UK. Was that something I didn't notice in the patch notes? Great change.

    Yeah this is new, but some times it does not work. Probably just a bug as to why it does not work, some code interfering. Imagine how bad it would be to zone into Occ only to find the party is on dragons and you get ported to the group and fall to the death.
