Mondays

Mondays give me little time to reflect on things that happen over the weekend. But i'll try to blog out my thoughts and feelings for the past week on this post.

1. Gear score sucks. Why do people still consider it in any kind of conversation?

for example, "LFM, ICC10, need 2tanks, 2 heals, 1 RDPS, 5k GS pst"
no granted, 5k gs is something acheivable when poeple have been doing ICC10 for a while. and even even ICC25, everyone's gs should be over 5k. but for the guys gearing up in triumph gear, heroic gear, etc. these guys are rocking 4.5k GS max. i guess it eliminates the people who dont know the fights or at least, will be less of a contributor (all skill being equal, ofc). but still. people are looking for wipe insurance and the best thing they can think of is GS.


2. Forge of Souls is still awesome. I love the trash in Forge of souls. why? because they're spread out far enough so that its difficult to AoEyawn your way through the instance, but close enough that if you aggro one, you aggro the rest. thats just how it goes. and that's how i like it. also that phantom that does the shadowstep every 4 seconds, that guy is a blast. untankable and sometimes i just ignore him until the end.


3. There's this thing called CC. and its CC for a reason. if i cast repentance on a guy, please, for the love of kittens and daisies, please do not break the fucking CC. sure, break it when most of the mobs are down and you can deal with the CC'ed mob. but if you attack the mob that's harmlessly standing there in "repentance" mode, im sure he'll be pissed at you for interrupting his little time of self-reflection. sometimes i wish i can cast repentance on my own party members. Tanks, please dont charge the CC. hunters, please dont attack the CC. mages, please dont cast your blizzard with the CC in the radius.


4. Stop attacking when someone has Soul Mirror on them. geez.
4b. Stop attacking if you have Brand on you. geez.


5. Paladin tanks.... especially those running heroics.... GET SEAL OF COMMAND. kthxbai.


Thats it for my monday reflections. this weekend was rough. well this saturday was rough. thats pretty much all my comments. i would much rather have gone to ICC and play it for the first time with my guild, but something something about not having enough people and few signups, etc. made it impossible. so instead of pugging an ICC10 on saturday, i decided to run a bunch of heroics with guildies. sure, it was mainly one or two guildies. but heck, it was better than pugging a 10man icc. hopefully this week, or in the next few weeks, we can actually get some people together to do some farm runs of ICC. so at the very least, when someone asks if i can replace someone, i'd at least have the gear to perform at their level. and no, this is not a contradiction to me being anti-gs. its just that, for someone with no ICC experience, nor any ICC pieces on, i dont think i'd be an asset in a fight like, sindra or LK. thanks, but i dont want to be a weakpoint.

final note: please dont ask me to join a failpug. i know you guys wanna get your emblems, your kill and your loot. but if you guys are frustrated at the pug for messing up, adding me to the roster wont solve your problem. getting rid of the guy messing up all the time will. please consider the people you ask. i wouldnt ask my friends to join my raid if its failing unless i want to lose friends. now if my contribution would mean success, then sure, i'll go. but when healers quit because faildps cant get out of the lazers, then replacing the healer isnt going to help. sorry. had to clarify why i didnt want to do the RS fight.
