I Called This a Year Ago...
In February of 2011, I posted a 2-part piece about how 25-man raids were going to dry up:
I Told You So: The Decay of 25-Mans, Part 1
I Told You So: The Decay of 25-Mans, Part 2
Today, Anne Stickney over at WoW Insider confirmed that I was on the right track: The Last Gasp of 25-man Raiding.
Jussayin.

Heroic Hagara, Lightning, & Warlock Pets
My guild’s currently working on Heroic Hagara, and we’re making it through ice phases with minimal difficulty. In the lightning phase it all goes wrong. As far as we can tell, everyone is in their places and the lightning’s doing what it’s supposed to be doing (most of the time), but we lose 4-5 people every time.
One issue our RL pointed out was that he had 6 people in...

While EJ got a nod, Noxxic.com was by far the most suggested site both here and on Twitter.

Your Favorite WoW Raiding Resource?
My GM is trying to get links to good raiding resources for our members.
Do you have a favorite website/tool/guide/addon that you refer to for raiding information?
If you do, help me out! Link me your favorite site, what it covers (class-specific? role-specific? strats? general info?), and why you like it!
Thanks! Love you looooong time! <3
P.S.! If you don’t mind reblogging this,...

What I Learned Last Night
Cold medicine affects my dps.
Really? I blew my mushrooms before there was anything for them to hit? I casted uneclipsed DoTs from sheer inattentiveness. For heaven’s sake, I had a hard time targeting. This is Raiding 101 stuff, here.
Next time I’ll just raid with a runny nose. Anything for my precious, hard-earned dps… >.>
I just changed my spec around, too. I might...

Oh, Bugs in Eternity Vault, How Marvelously...
We have the worst luck.
We cleared the bosses up to Soa in less than an hour. Flawless victory.
Bugs we encountered over the next hour:
The Floor Bug, in which pieces of the floor disappear between attempts. Usually we reset the instance, but someone ran in too early once. We tried it anyway and died to missing platforms.
The Falling Through the Floor Bug, in which our tank hops down from the...

Well, That Could Have Gone Better
Last night did not go the way I planned, and ended instead with me irritated at the raid and my husband irritated with me.
Instead of doing Spine and Madness and calling it there, we went to Firelands first to help a bunch of other people get staff steps completed. I hate Firelands. I’ll be detailing that more in my blog later, but suffice to say it’s not a casual dislike. I hate...

Looks Like Heroic Hagara
Thanks for the suggestions, guys! Our raid leader has opted to take H-Hagara next, so that will be next Tuesday’s adventure.
Any tips you have from doing this fight, send ‘em my way!
Tonight we’ve only got Spine and Madness, then I intend to curl up on the couch and watch a movie with my (retired) mageboy. After my day—fun run with my son, grocery trip, strength training,...

My husband and I participated in a survey for this article, and also provided a screenshot (we’re the sniper and bounty hunter on the bottom right). Pretty interesting piece! :-)

Short Raid Week & Heroic Morchok 25 Bites the Dust
I healed, that’s what made the difference.
Okay, not really, but after some uptight griping and a few cruddy wipes, we killed Heroic Morchok last night. (And I really did heal!)
Because we got him down pretty quickly, we were able to nearly clear. We’ll do Spine and Madness tonight and have Monday off, which works out extremely well for me.
Any suggestions about which heroic boss...

Sign I've Been Playing Too Much Star Wars
Dreaming about it, and worse, writing poetry about my dream. I wrote this back in beta, and when I dreamed about SWTOR last night, I had to go back and dig it up.
Force
Caught you, pulled you back. Frantic, you were wild-eyed, cornered, too big for your skin, given to indiscretion, taught to follow rumbles made by those running in the wrong direction. Told you, reasoned you back. Terrified, you...

First Real EV Run
We started at 8:45ish and finished at 11ish. We made it to council before we had a problem, and we’ll be getting that fixed by tomorrow.
It was fun! It was nice to just go in there and kill bosses and figure out how to maximize my damage without fretting over a meter. I already knew I loved my Sniper, but now I really REALLY know it.
I got a glove token, a belt, AND bracers. It was a...

No Shows
Our raid was cancelled Tuesday because we were missing a bunch of people, far more than those that actually unsigned from our raid. We started late yesterday and couldn’t do Heroic Morchok for the same reason.
I’m only not raging because my Sniper hit 50 anyway.
If you’re going to commit to raid, do it. If not, tell everyone you’re done. You can guarantee our officers...

Arrrrghhhhh, So Close
I’m a bar and a half from hitting 50 in SWTOR.
My WoW raid starts in 10 minutes. Unsigning tonight is not an option, as I didn’t raid last night.
NEEEERRRDDDD RAAAAAAGE.
All I have to say is we better have raiders show up and kill Heroic Morchok, because I’ll be irked if it’s a waste of time.
