A Nostalgic Day
by Laneer on Nov.21, 2009, under Group, Questing, Raid
Was looking for an interesting raid to do but not much was happening this morning when I got on. So I did some dailies experimenting with Shadow again. I had been thinking about giving it another shot and decided to go for it. Eventually I got a tell asking if I would heal a OS10 1 drake up. I hadn’t been in OS for a while so I figured what the heck.
That turned out to be a rather large waste of time though. When we finally got 10 people together, they were mostly terrible. 3 of the DPS did 80% of the damage, and we had a DK that was doing 600dps. I would think using auto attack would get more than 600dps! It was clear we could not do 1 drake up. Makes matter worse the raid leader was trying to leave the hardest one up! Finally we convinced them to leave the easiest one up, but what we really wanted was to not even try. We tried, and failed rather quickly. It turned out half the raid had never even done OS10 before on those characters at least
Later in the evening I teamed up with my buddies from the Texas Mercenaries to run some old BC heroics for achievements. It was a very enjoyable time, and quite nostalgic. Perfect to be doing on the 5th anniversary of WoW. During the conversations they mentioned they were having issues with their new priest being flaky and that if I was available they wanted me to raid with them again. I got to thinking at that point that I should probably just move Laneer into Texas Mercenaries. I never raid with the Shadows, they do so when I can’t play unfortunately. I haven’t done it yet but I wanted to make sure the shadows GL knew why I moved Laneer and didn’t abruptly do it without explanation.
Looking forward to doing the Pilgrim event and getting my Turkey pet hopefully!
