| Amateur Night At Zul'Gurub |
| Wednesday, April 1, 2009 |
Elenai went into Zul'Gurub last night with her Guild. It was the first time I have been in the place with any toon. It was also the first time I raided with the new Guild. It was.......... an experience. lol
OK, not a bad experience. Don't read negativity into that. It was a lot of fun. Just not what I have become used to when it comes to raiding. It was not organized. The group was such a conglomeration of different classes and none had true assignments. It was pretty much a "run up to the bosses and kill them asap" type of Raid. :P
We went in there with only 2 healers. Two healers for a 20 person Raid seemed a little weak to me. Only one Priest. We had one Druid that either couldn't rez or just didn't understand what I was asking when I whispered to him to see if he could combat rez. He was level 73 so I thought he should know his abilities. ??? The group ranged from a level 80 Death Knight all the way down to a level 55 Warrior. There were no Paladins. Elenai was the only Rogue. Hunters galore joined in. Warlocks and Warriors also. We had one Mage. It was an interesting group to say the least.
But we cleared the place out. :)
......... and it was a blast doing it.
The Raid started on time, which I count as a plus. That is a hard thing to do. But the Guild is a very positive and enthusiastic type of Guild so they like to get things going. We headed inside and just rolled through the trash mobs. Once we got to the first boss (I do not remember order of events or names) we assembled and the Leader sent his pet in first. So did the other Hunters. I was just started typing to ask who was Tanking when the fight started. lol
That was my first hint that the evening would be a little different. So I just ran up there and did what a Rogue does best, damage, damage and more damage.
Once the boss was down this is where I really got a clue about the group. The drops were nice. There was a leather head piece that was perfect for a Rogue. Since Elenai was the only Rogue I was about to ask for it but instantly everyone in the Raid was rolling for it. I kept wondering why a Priest, Warlock or a Mage would roll for such a nice leather helmet.
I was confused.
The Mage won that leather BOP headpiece. I could have cried. All through the Raid people were winning stuff they couldn't use. The Mage later won a nice blue plate leg armor piece. I know her and she is not an enchanter. I knew she couldn't disenchant anything. So I found myself scratching my head a lot at this.
There were some type of coins dropping almost every kill and everyone in the Raid rolled on them. Even the drops that were class specific everyone rolled for. Everyone rolled for every drop in the place. (Except me because I didn't want all that useless stuff. I passed on almost everything.)
LOL
So basically we went into every fight the same way. We cleared the areas in front of the Bosses. Then we all rushed the Boss. Everyone rolled for every drop. We rezzed the lowbies after every fight. Every fight. Or we had to summon the lowbies back since they kept rezzing themselves at the Graveyard. :P We killed everything in the place and got the achievemnent despite ourrselves. It was a blast.
The experience reminded me of Pallanen's younger days when no one knew any better. No one in that early Guild knew a thing about Instances back then, but of course everyone back then was in their 20-30 level. That's a bit different.
When we got to the last Boss, Hakkar the Soulflayer, I was just resigned to having a good time. That fight turned out to be a piece of cake until I saw that some trash mobs had jumped our one Priest. I rushed over and began to attack them, using Elenai's Blade Fury which hits multiple mobs. I wanted their attention. Unfortunately I got it and although Elenai killed one of them, the others finished her off. It was her only death. I got a front row seat for the final seconds of the Hakkar fight. It was almost dead anyway.
Then the Druid who I whispered to earlier rezzed me. LOLOLOL!
In the end it was a very fun first Raid. One of the Guildies popped up the stats for the evening. It showed that the Hunters did the most damage. That always seems to be the case. The 80 Death Knight was overjoyed that he was near the top in the damage dealt catagory. I just chuckled since I would have thought an 80 DK should have been way out in front of even the Hunters. No Hunter was over level 75.
Elenai was right in the middle of the pack when it came to her damage output. She ended up #9. I was happy with that. She was near the bottom when it came to how much Healing she had needed, which is also a happy stat. (But I think the healing stats are askew since the Priest kept healing everyone all the time. Many times Elenai was healed even when she had taken no damage.) Generally, the stats tell me she is doing well so far. Being level 64 with most of the raid group being higher levels, I think Elenai did well. I know I have a lot to learn about the Rogue but right now she is on course for being a good group member.
Now the Guild on the other hand, well..... we will have to do a lot of homework to whip that group into good shape for high level Raiding and Instances. No way could we survive Kara doing things the way we did them last night in Zul'Gurub. Not even with a few level 80's mixed in. But we have time to get used to playing as a Guild group. Eventually we will have it together. Until then, we will just stomp our way through the achievement list. Hopefully with a few more Healers and a real Tank from now on. :P |

About Me: I started playing WoW after my best friend bugged me to play. I soon learned that I really liked it. Now 2 years later I still play and have 20 characters. LOL I am no gaming expert. I am no WoW expert. A lot of the terms and "how to do's" elude me still. But I love to play. All you will find here are the adventures of Pallanen and her sisters. I love them all and they really kick butt. So stay tuned and maybe we can learn stuff from each other that we never knew. xoxo
