So Ebonroc kicked our ass, well not really, I think the trash kicked our ass and therefore we didn't get enough attempts in at Ebon. What did I learn/discover last night:
1. Zeph has sexy legs when running. I noticed this as she kept running past me on pulls. This is way to distracting and even though she did a great job of pulling last night, bring back a dude so I can keep my concentration.
2. Stuns suck! When all 3 dragons like to stun like crazy it makes it hard to do anything useful. Luckily we had some free action pots lying around to make life easier. I (we) burned one right as they came around the corner and it made all the difference in the world. I was able to get 5 sunders in and more before the stuns began to occur and that dragon didn't move an inch.
3. Those dragons hit like tanks on crack. I used to say I hated the Domo fight because long tanking the adds is stressful because you are sitting there helpless waiting for the raid to down the other adds. You only job is to not lose aggro, ie don't die. So basically you watch your health go up and down praying that your healer doesn't die. Well these dragons are 10x worse because they hit 10x harder. So now, I am sitting there praying my 3 healers don't go OOM while at the same time pray that they don't miss a heal or Cads phone doesn't ring.
4. The trash sucks ass but....it is getting easier with practice. Remember way back when, MC trash used to suck too. I remember my first trip to MC with HotC back in Aug/Sept. It used to take 2-3 hours just to get to Luci. Why? because the trash sucked. It has been a long time since we experienced trash that we have had problems with. A little practice and you know what? The trash will become trash again.
5. Guess what? I beat some priests in the healing charts last night. Then again Mike was #1. I guess he is holding out on some super sekrit bandages or something and not passing them out. (Yes I know the real reason).
6. Farming for Firewater last night was fun. Nief would run around aggroing 5-6 of them and then Waib and I would come in to tank them. Makes it alot less stressful when you are competing with 5 bajillion other people. It is always nice when people ask to join your group because we are killing so all the furblogs. Then again I think I only picked up a couple of firewater.
7. I want to thank everyone for the dense stone that has been rolling in. Keep it coming because it has been going to good use. I obviously need to start making/carrying more arrows because the hunters ask for them at all the wrong times. Zeph it is your responsibility to remind me to make more for Wednesday's MC since you took my last stack.
8. Thorium prices are freaking ridiculous and I love it. The one good thing about having to farm dense stone is that you get lovely thorium as well. Thorium is selling for about 8g a stack right now which means I paid for all my potions last night with a couple of stacks of thorium. Too bad I didn't sell more because the ~18g repair bill last night hurt.
9. BWL has been pushed to Friday and MC is Wednesday. This means a couple of things. First remember to get your aqual quintessence for the run! It will suck if not enough people bring them. Second, Wednesday is gonna be a long night. IIRC we haven't done the 10 boss clear in a single night, so let's make it fast and smooth, ie no dicking around. Third, I can only assume that BWL on Friday is give us more time in the lair. People won't have the I have to work tomorrow excuse, so we can push past midnight on the Broodlord if necessary which means we won't be wasting flasks and the like. Also does this have anything to do with the Super Bowl being on Sunday?
10. My afternoon naps rock! I am no longer tired throughout the day (mornings still suck) because of our late night escapades (sp). I leave work, take an hour nap, get up, walk the dogs, eat, play until midnight+, get up at 5am, rinse and repeat. Everyone who works early in the morning should try it, it works wonders.
11. If all goes as planned, you won't see me on tonight, unless I am really needed. I figure it is high time I take a weeknight off, and do something different for a change. Of course what this really means is that I will be on as usual because things never work out right.
12. PS: It was good to see Nyn again. The RS folks are doing wonders in the Core, and I think it is mighty grand of Mike to let some of their leadership fill in holes during our off night raids. Hopefully, others will get a chance to come as well.....then again hopefully our membership will step up and we won't need to take fill-ins.
