We finally beat mythic maidens last night and the guild leader announced we will be extending the lockout each week to work on blast furnace and then blackhand.We did Mythic Org last night and it makes me sad we went so many weeks with tank issues because that fight was simple.
We're just getting old. I've been doing the exact same thing the last few weeks. Age and rl are the only things I can think of. Used to not have this issue at all. Yet somehow for my first mythic thogar kill, I outlived the other dps until the kill happened at the exact time the apocalypse train wave hit. So somewhat of a hollow victory. Sat on maidens right after cause I felt that winging it with no personal research was not a good idea.Sorry Sorrows I hate that shit. At least you aren't doing it in half LFR gear like I was for early MOP progression. I quit so hard I even deleted all my addons and settings. That worked for a year and a half.
We got Kromog, the progression from "holy fuck we didn't kill a single pillar" to the kill was pretty fun. ~25 wipes, nothing too painful.
Last night I learned what it is like for people who suck at games. I felt like my brain was in a jar a million miles away - it's been like that at work for a week or so, too. I died near the end of almost every kill. Gruul? Thought I was safe, got hit by smash. H&F? Clipped a conveyor which pushed me into a stamper. (spreading out for the last % puts ranged into shitty spots for dodging anyway, we're expected to die or invul to solo stomps) Beastlord? Pinned TWICE while completely spaced out, and misdirected adds to no one and died because my focus was still set on a tank that wasn't even in the zone. If we hadn't one-shot him I'd have kicked my own ass out of the zone.
Granted, those were my only deaths and I was alive for every wipe. But I had absolutely no focus and it isn't because I'm bored or anything, it's really rare for me to phone it in - I never want to look bad.
I did offer to sit for every boss and apologized for being a space cadet. And I guess dying in the last moments of a win gets noticed less than dying first on a wipe, and we had plenty of people guilty of that. It's just weird to be playing and trying and then suddenly "oooh shiny." I guess now I understand how it happens to people. FFS, I almost started a boss without a pet and I have a bouncing fucking icon on my screen warning me when my pet is dead/missing.
Like I said though, same way at work. They messed with my meds and apparently it took away all my fucks. Plenty of work, but fucking about on the forum anyway.
I think people just have a bad day sometimes. I know our last Saturday heroic BRF I was derping all over the place and I felt like I shouldn't be raiding anymore.I can always tell how focused I am by how variable my DPS ends up being on the shaman. The class is all about timing and minimizing movement. It's really easy to miss out on DPS opportunities if you arent prepared for them and as a result I'll see wild swings in overall DPS.
Some nights it's challenging and I enjoy it. Other nights I just wish I was a hunter. Haha. I think the lazy side of me wins out most of the time.
Is that because they can DPS on the move, so they get to do all the shit, and are expected to DPS at the same time?There's two requirements for a hunter to be top dps: Extreme movement with a single target. It's balanced from a numbers standpoint - hell, I'd argue that hunters are the MOST balanced class, because our numbers don't jump all over the fucking place from one encounter to the next.
We do have to put up with pet annoyances and pulling shit duty for whatever goddamn mechanic on every fight.
This is pretty much the biggest plus of hunters. You know what you are going to get DPS wise and it changes much less fight to fight than other casters so less likely any particular mechanic is going to shit all over you.There's two requirements for a hunter to be top dps: Extreme movement with a single target.

Where are you playing not Kreug? Horde something.And we aren't cut out when it comes to class stacking time because of Fox.
For now!
But this is my most enjoyable run of WoW since perhaps the very early "holy shit this is so much better than EQ the goddamn dragon flies and shit omg" period and I think it is a combination of the class and the people I'm with.
Now if I could just concentrate.
