In raid news, we killed the first bug in Heart of Fear. They all look and sound the same, so I don’t know what his actual name is. The guy who flies to the platforms and makes spinny things of death. I used a coin and won some gloves, hooray!
We also did pretty well on the second bug, Tornado Joe (that’s totally his name). I know our other healers are feeling frustrated because it’s really hard for them to heal while moving. So then I feel like I have to stay alive and more importantly, keep everyone else alive to the end. I’ve made it a couple of times but I get so focused on avoiding tornadoes and watching my own health that I tunnel vision on healing others. It’s something I need to work on. But we got him to 4% on our best attempt, not bad!
I got Revered with Black Prince today, not that it does me any good because I still need 2 Sigils of Wisdom. I also got to do a bunch of Shieldwall quests today, including the Purge of Dalaran. Sheesh Jaina, have a little holiday spirit, don’t chase down the belfs on Winter Veil! I didn’t kill any cowering civilians though (or dragonhawks!) but I still didn’t much like it. And I was really mad that Jaina fubar’d their chances of rejoining the Alliance. As if I didn’t hate her already.
Also, I should learn not to play WoW on Christmas, people’s rotten behavior is more annoying then. I arrive at a (panda) rare at the same time as 2 other Alliance, who are grouped. Instead of rushing and stealing the tag, I see that they’re grouped so I wait for them to heal, buff, etc. and am about to whisper to ask to join when they tag it. So then I whisper the leader asking, and they give me some nonsense about not seeing me there. I remind them that they could still share the tag… no such luck. I really don’t understand, it’s not like they would have lost anything by inviting me to the party. Maybe a 440 blue? Not that I would have rolled anyway, I just want credit for a Panda rare for the achievement. And then both of them start sending me nasty whispers. Look, if you just didn’t want to share… say so. I doubt their GM will do anything about it, in my experience they never do, but at least I know yet another guild to avoid. (It’s “Road Less Traveled”, if you’re curious.)
