It's been 8 Days since my last post...my warlock is now level 65, my shaman is level 48, my warrior is level 37 and I think my hunter is now level 27, but I could oh-so-easily be wrong. I'm too lazy to tab over and look on the armory for the time being. Maybe by the end of this post I'll have found the inspiration...guess we'll have to wait and see.
There isn't a whole lot going on in WoWland for my posse. I've been working on leveling my alts a lot lately, thanks to not feeling well again. The change in seasons seems to have brought on either allergies or a cold...either way...I'm so hopped up on cold meds right now that I can't even tell how many feet I have...if any...
But I digress...Updates...updates...let's see...
Oh, Rotface is still a rock solid brick wall for us. Slimes. It's the damn slimes! If we can master the slime management for this fight we will get the kill. We've gotten him down to 5% a few times now and then we just get inundated with little slimes and we find multiple large slimes wandering around killing us...or exploding on us...you know, whatever blows their skirts up at the time.
That's been a little frustrating, but I will give a bunch of credit to our guild members. Everyone has such an amazing attitude about things...even a wipe or 5 doesn't stop us. We're all willing to brush off (repair) and give it another go until we can't even see straight. So that's definitely a blessing. If everyone had miserable, negative attitudes...we never would have gotten past Lord Marrowgar...
We'll get the fight down. We've got it practically mastered. I think the only reason we're struggling with that last 5% is just that everyone can see how close we are to the kill, and having been denied this kill so many times before...we get tunnel vision and just want him to die and we lose our focus a bit on the slime management aspect of the battle. We'll get it. I know we will. We're cool like that!
Speaking of ICC, I've been watching a handful of the Tankspot videos for some of the fights. Now, let me first tell you that I am generally a huge fan of tankspot. It might just be the allergy meds fogging up my little druid mind, but I watched a couple today and at the end of the video...I stared blankly at my screen thinking..."Huh?!?!" I watched a few of the videos a bunch of times and still have no idea what's going on. I mean I get the basic gist of things, but do I think I could watch the videos and understand exactly what I'm supposed to be doing? Gawsh no!
Know what works best for me?
A raid leader on vent that gives basic, plain instructions. For example, our raid leader for our recent ICC runs explains what to do on Rotface like this:
- If there's green stuff on the ground, DO NOT stand in it and avoid running through it.
- If Rotface turns and starts to do Slime Spray, move out of the spray.
- When you get the mutation on you, run to the OT and merge YOUR slime (after you get dispelled) with the big slime.
- If you're the first to get the little slime, just run around the outside of the room until another raid member has a slime, then merge them.
- Make sure you merge the slimes.
- When the big slime explodes, move a few steps from where you were standing.
Seems easy enough. Tankspot doesn't do just that though. They talk about boss abilities and what each ability does...then they tell you how to "counteract" that ability as they begin to bridge into the next ability...it gets confusing. I watched the Festergut and Professor Putricide videos about 4 times each and STILL have no idea wtf I'm supposed to do. Spores? Enslave an Abomination? Gas clouds? What? @_@
So confusing...far too confusing for a tree in a self-induced cold med coma...that's for sure. Speaking of which, I'm sort of hoping I'm not desperately needed for any of our raids tonight. I'm so out of it. It's not fair to the rest of the gang for me to be there and be incapacitated and not giving a full 100% for the entire night. Maybe I'll talk to one of the officers and bench myself for the week. Guess I'll have to wait and see how things go.
You know, I'm just going to end this post before I confuse/annoy anyone else. I'm confusing myself really bad...I think I started off wanting to talk about my alts and then started with some other stuff and Rotface and...Gas clouds?
Yep, I think it's time for this little bear to get some coffee and research more strategies for Rotface!
