First off, I am going to call out the alliance for being pussies. Yes it's a harsh word, but it is the truth. Last night in my only chance to PvP, I get stuck in WSG. Let me first say I hate WSG with a passion, but after last night, I think I could like it, if HotC got some sort of team together with a defined strategy. Anyway, I zone in and low and behold we are going up against Hatchet's band of ganksters. And guess what, my team basically gave up from the start. I realize we are just a freaking PuG going up against a well-oiled machine, but it's like they look at the scoreboard, see all those Generals and say oh well its over. After Iggi capped the first flag, half my team quit. It was only till it was almost over that me and another warrior got it together and started actually killing folks and that turnout ended up being very very sucky!
Anyway, I have to give Hatchet his due, he made me look foolish. Well he and his friends did. The only 2 times I saw him, he and his warlock and mage friend tore me a new one. Of course, I tried to save someone the first time, and what did that guy do? Turned a ran, yay team! Anyway, next time I hope we meet in AB or AV where I feel somewhat more comfortable.
I would like to apologize to Nief and Aro for not doing Gnomer last night. I really wanted to do it, but when Mike and Lard come calling for farm runs it's hard to turn down. We will reschedule again, maybe Thursday? either before or after we run Waib through DM:N to try and get him a Libram of Prot or two. How long do you think it is going to take with 2 60's leading the way? I haven't been to Gnomer is so long, I have no idea.
Speaking of that Core farming, it was test the n00b tank night and so I got to MT and Fel OT'd. I think we did quite well. I lost a giant once and I am not sure why, but I will consider that a freak accident. Core hounds and despair suck. That one hound would not let me gain control, 2 sunders, and then I would start running around like a chicken, stop gain control, chicket again. Bah I say! Anyway, a shout out goes to Adeste for doing well on his first core tanking experience, but nothing will top Eve tanking last night!
Also, something else I learned, slam is your friend if you are a tank in the core. Well if you have a 2H equipped anyway. With my slow OEB, slam takes roughly the same length of time as a normal swing but adds damage and won't be interrupted if the MT/OT has control, sooo rather than wait around the big execute, I will now use slam throughout the core and see if it affects my DPS numbers.
Tonight is Raz/Vael night! One thing I would like to caution everyone about is that we have only downed Raz once! Let's not get too confident about him and put all our thoughts toward Vael. Remember it took us 7 attempts last week, lets try and cut that down, but don't expect him to go down on the first try.
I am hoping that my lag issues are solved. I wiped my addons folder and reinstalled CT and Equipmanager last night. I went to WSG with zero lag even when the raid group was being added to. During MC I suffered a little big of lag during raid additions but nothing like previous nights. Even when I died and ran back from TP, I didn't have the jumpiness that had been occuring. So hopefully either Blizzard got their heads out of their asses or I solved my problems. Tonight will be the true test and hopefully I pass.
