Another CMI day for me...I seems to die easily...keeps doing little little errors that is not acceptable for heroics attempts...No mistakes...
We were that close on Heroics 25 man Dreamwalker...on the 2nd attempt I healed till I have no mana...Just hope I have asked for help and also used my shadow fiend...but I was too slow to get that done...Was talking to Elyss regarding healing at work today and realize that his idea on placing an "ALERT" (a sound or something) to indicate that I have only 1/3 mana left becomes very essential when it comes to fights that are very mana intensive...
For our attempt on Sindragosa...I heal till I die literally...there were like 5 stacks of instability on me by the end of the boss...No choice I guess that was the last chance to down the boss...after which I can still use of my "Angel" to heal after death...I had to get back to GS on myself after the pull! I thought I already gotten over the pulling part??!! But today I really did fail in running after the pull...a few times I missed and GS was there to rescue me...that is really lousy of me...
Blood prince Council...I died to fireball (Conjure Empowered Flame)...really tired by the time I realized that the empowered power ball is flying towards me...it was already too late...I just moved like a few steps I am already dead...I could still hear Irony calling out "Christy...Empowered fireball..." Raid awareness...not there...
Guess I will have to really practice on my awareness of the environment around me...today I did very badly I would say..Played holy most of the time...sudden change of spec I will need to get used to it...
Holy...disc...holy...disc...It should be about the same right??!!! No...Sigh...disc's a little different...if you use disc to heal your instant cast spells are different. You gotta stand where you are to cast Penance while you can run around like a chicken for Circle of Healing...It feels very different, I still think that I am more familiar with healing in holy but still once I switch back to holy after healing using discipline for a day...it feels funny also...I need to go and rethink on my rotation and wake up!!!
Priestly was telling me about his rotation and I needed to check with milkmom about his discipline rotation again...why am I doing so bad today? Is it the lack of practice and also I have forgotten about the boss fights? I guess I will need to go read up on the bosses again if I wanna do heroics with the guild. I did not even do well for normal...how to do heroics?!?!??
Why am I back to the I need to practice period? I really can't just stop playing for a while...I will lose track of what I need to do or rather what I am suppose to do...

Going for Heroic 25 man ICC
Today marks the first day of 2 raiding group for our new guild. The guild now officially has 2 25 man raiding group and today is the first time I every raid with the guild in 25 man...and also doing some bosses in heroic mods for 25 man...
Out of the The Lower Spire, we did Lord Marrowgar and Gunship Battle in heroics but left Lady Deathwhisper and Deathbringer Saurfang in normal.
First thing I found out in Lord Marrowgar is that I missed updating my GridStatusRaidDebuff...OMG!! I can't see who's being spiked!! I end up manually looking for the person (even though slower but no choice) to heal and shield quickly. After the fight I quickly went and updated it...
At Gunship, its the first time I ever see a Rocket Pack stuck at the butt of a bear...it does looks very funny...
As for The Plagueworks, we only did Rotface in heroics and I died to funny mistakes like running the wrong way, healing and facing the wrong way (because of penance) then tried to turn and run too slowly away from Unstable Ooze Explosion and then find myself stepping on Ooze Flood (how can I ever run into it??!!!!???!!). We did Festergut and Professor Putricide in normal while our Raid leader explain about the fights in heroics mod...
We seemed to be doing well for all, only been very messy in Rotface according the Raid Leader...Actually still need to get used to a lot of things in the new guild. First of all the way raid are being placed...2nd the way the guild plays...3rd the different things in heroic mods...cos u cannot make mistake...mistake means dead..
Nevertheless, I am glad we are able to do some heroics today...Tomorrow will be another day...

Difference in 25 Heroics Vs Normal (Part1)
As usual, I had to find out more about the fights before I can go for it...since even after reading I might do still funny things...writing it down will help me remember them better...
More dmg in general, Coldflame will now stay on the ground for 8 seconds, instead of just 3s. Marrowgar will now continue casting Bone Spike Graveyard during Bone Storms. Meaning when he does his spinning, he will still "stick" pple in the air. No wonder Zero says that healers should heal the person that is being impaled by this boss...The boss will also do an extra charge during each Bone Storm.
Cultists will continue to spawn - one Cultist from the entrance of the room on 10-man, and three on one of the sides on 25-man.
She will start mind controlling people on 10-man (one at a time), and continue using Dominate Mind on three people in 25-man. Phase 2, Lady Deathwhisper is not tauntable so must make sure tanks are always highest on threat, and that one tanks taunts the boss just before her shield dissipates.
Unresistable Frostbolts, these MUST be interrupted...hhhmmmm...OMG....I also heard from Zero that you cannot be hit by Ghost..."One shot one kill"....
We did Gunship Heroics in 10 man so no problem...
Blood Beasts catching Scent of Blood — 5 seconds after spawning, reduces the movement speed of the entire raid by 80% for 10 seconds. Deathbringer Saurfang will heal for 20% HP if a mark of the fallen champion dies. Blood power gain is also much faster. Blood Beasts will also hit hard enough to one shot any non tank...There will be six marks on 25-man...OMG...
The big addition in heroic mode is Malleable Goo. The playful Professor Putricide periodically flings Malleable Goo from his balcony as he watches the fight. Everyone even the Tanks are possible target for malleable goo.
If players are in the blast radius they take damage and suffer a 12 seconds 250% attack/casting speed debuff. If DPS are debuffed you will have difficulty beating the enrage timer. If healers are debuffed, the tank will probably die.
All players must know how to position themselves to get innoculated while not getting blasted by Malleable Goo.
Professor Putricide will come to the balcony and cast Vile Gas on random players. He will not cast on melee if there are at least 8 players in range. Make sure you always have enough players standing outside of Rotface's melee range, especially when your designated Vile Gas 'soakers' are moving to dodge ooze flood. A vile gas targeted at the tank/melee group can easily wipe the raid.
Mutated Infection, Ooze Flood deals more dmg...
OMG PP in heroics? Mist be madness....
Professor Putricide gains Unbound Plague deals increasing damage every second lasting for 60s, players will be killed within approximately 15s after being infected.
It will jump to anyone within 3 yards, leaving a Plague Sickness debuff every time it jumps, dmg from Unbound Plague increases by 300%, stacking infinitely.
During change of phase Professor Putricide debuffs half the raid with the Ooze Variable and half the raid with the Gas Variable. Volatile Ooze and Gas Cloud will spawn at the same time. Players may only attack targets matching their variable. LOL...how interesting...
I guess I will study the rest later...too many to digest...Found most of the information from http://www.wowwiki.com/
Heroic Lord Marrowgar

WoW - UI settings
Since we will not be raiding till next week...I guess I will have to take the chance to do some changes to my mods that I have been using...
Ag_UnitFrame in particular is not going to be updated...so I guess I will need to change it...have been planning to do it but did not have the chance to get it done...
Irony and Rabbit told me to change it to PitBull...and yes PitBull is great!!
This is my new interface, just a bit different replaced Ag_UnitFrame with PitBull =)
Took the screenshot when I was trying to test out in a PUG what it looks like and making sure all icons etc are all correct since I just updated most of my mods namely, Fubar, Grid, GridIndicatorSideIcons, XLoot, XLootGroup, ArkInventory, DBM and also Sexymap (hee...) I wonder how the horde char can get up there....
Everything seems to be ok...I hope all will go smoothly on sunday...this week will be my first time raiding in 25 man in the guild...

Reflection
Have been trying to find out how to join raid in the guild...accordingly we are suppose to post our application to be part of the team.
Was having great difficulty filling the answer actually....did a lot of reflections on what I have been doing in WoW...
Qns like: "How do your talent and Glyphs choice optimise your DPS/TPS/HPS/Survival" makes me remember the times I spend on trying to find the best glyphs and what talents to use. I believe those who's been reading my blog should have seen how many times I have tried to respec and find what is the best glyphs that helps in my style of healing...
What got to me was this qns: "Please provide a WMO / World of Logs for any raid(s) you have participated in" I have no idea how to answer this one...checked with Zell and he mentioned that our logs are out dated...sigh...
From TerraAustralus, Alamak, Royalty, Reddot, GotMilk, Sentient (chronologically) I have not done any application as such so I am really lost about it....
Terra Australus, since MC time, should the funniest guild that I have joined so far, cos the crap that everyone and all talks so much crap on the vent...very funny and amazingly entertaining...they can play horrible tricks on new comers, getting them to go to a spot to look at Ragnaros and getting the people burnt to death...LOL...horriblely playful ones...only problem I remember we had was about gears...people will get upset when the raid leader or officer over rules on giving who and who the gear first etc...I believe I joined TA till Kara and moved on....
Alamak and Royalty (about the same group of pple in guild), we are very discipline in positioning...only problem is that people don't respect timing...some comes on-line very late for raiding...I guess the problem is that most are working adults...so sometimes when work gets in the way...I believed this is when I joined the guild when they were starting Kara and since I have all the required gears it was really relaxing to play with the guild...I don't have to think about which gear to fight for etc...This is when a few of us I remember Nonni and I leveled a warlock and switched our mains to warlock to help the guild in progression...that time really hard core...enjoyed playing a warlock actually...totally different game...I always tell pple that I am a healer and have been healing all the way...I even leveled with holy (which to most pple thats very amazing-amazingly slow LOL)
We moved to the new server from Moonrunner to Aman'Thul and merged with Reddott which later some of us moved and formed GotMilk. The leaders are very specific in positioning...our raid leader will take time in making the raid understand the strategy of each game and even makes powerpoint to show the people where to stand...amazing right?
In fact all the guilds mentioned above had problem with gears...some even split cos of gear...anyway I always believe that the Guild master or raid leader should have the final say...even if it might be a bit unfair at times...but if you do not like the ruling, then you should be the one leading in raids or even start your own guild if you are so good...there has to be a governing party in a group a leader to say yes or no all the time...thats why we join guild right?
Sentient...I would say is the most discipline guild I have ever joined so far...GM and officer is very strict in rules...no QQ allowed...cannot be late...everyone really place an effort in coming to raid on time...when I first joined I really got culture shock...where should I stand? I asked...answer is just stand anywhere you like and heal...LOL...
Its been a long journey for me...from someone who does not play game till playing WoW for at least 4 hours a day...all the way to raiding for only 2 days a week...till now...Frankly speaking I can't rememeber how it took for me to level from level 70 to 80...seems like it took me a few months....I had to play everyday to get to it man!! Really tough...somehow in a way I enjoy raiding more then leveling...you make friends on the way...
I really suck in PvP, but I love to play battleground, I used it to learn how to heal in Discipline and train my reactions on healing for holy...
I became very worried when Zell told me that discipline priest, LittleBai can heal very well...OMG...after checking out the top healing priest that he was telling me about...I realised that he meant effective heals not the ones reflected in recount...at least my trainings on disc priet has not been wasted so far...lol...cos my undertsanding if disc priest is not about just heals...
Went to sentient forum and found the "World of Logs / WoW Meter Online" with the help of Dawyn (finally free to show me where)
I realised that I treat healing on normal bosses and healing at lich king in a different manner. I should really do some reflection on it...

Having your WOW characters deleted?
Can you imagine someone deleting your characters? Worst of all, your own love ones? OMG!!
"She should be hanged!" LOL I kept telling dawyn about that after reading the below article...
I read this from Sankaku Complex - Boyfriend Explodes as Girlfriend Deletes WoW Characters
Kinda scary, I mean the guy's reaction when he found his characters are being deleted. I wonder if it is being staged.

A girlfriend who sadistically deleted her boyfriend’s MMORPG characters without his knowledge and secretly filmed his explosive reaction has been the subject of no small opprobrium.
Beware the spurned 3D girlfriend.
Such incidents seem increasingly common – it is not clear whether any boyfriends so afflicted have sought legal remedy, but under US law property damage against a partner generally counts as domestic violence, and malicious deletion of online property certainly seems to meet this definition.
Thus it would probably be possible to have her arrested, not that this would resurrect characters worth hundreds of hours of play time.

Another Day of No Action
Yesterday was the guild's raid day again...and same thing..I came home early to wait and see if there is any actions...Its like a waiting game now...No action for the time being...Raid is full...I checked with an officer in guild and realised that as Social Memeber we are like "Friend's of guild"...no choice of action unless we are at least a "Trail Raider"...Alamak...LOL....
Now we just have to wait for the 2nd 25 men raid...See how first...
Anyway was talking to Elyss today regarding healing today regarding healing for Lich King...Definately agree when he says that we should at least have one discipline priest in the fight...to shield the Infest etc...
He gave me an amazing tip on the Lich King fight...I didn't realise that some actually downgrade their Power Word: Shield to a lower ranked spell to take advantage of the "mana" regeneration...Disc priest if you have spec Rapture...you get a mana regenation once the shield is being consumed. This way, if you have a lower ranked shield it will be consumed and regain mana when Lich King cast Infest and deals 11782 to 13218 Shadow damage to all enemy players within 50000 yards...So now I just have to decide which level of the spell to be downgraded to...hhhmmmmm...should be either a rank 12 or 13...I guess rank 12 which absorbs 1265 dmg will be better since rank 13 can absorb 1920 dmg meaning the shield might have chance that it will not be consumed...with improved Power Word: Shield I will still need to consider the 15%....OMG...hmmmm....
