Everyone Wants to DPS

Holy or Disc?!! OMG thats the only 2 choice I have...what??!! Both heals? LOL when Haha "volunteered" to DPS today...I was like sigh...everyone wanna do DPS and I guess I am the only one in the raid that does not have DPS spec...

At Blood Queen, Urmada actually ice blocked on me when I was already standing at where I was healing pple during air phase...sigh...caused me to die cos I was too slow to move away from him...I was wondering if its his fault to ice block on me when I have already been standing at my position to heal for sometime...guess I should have been more alert to move away from him rather then continuing to heal since he already ice blocked and can't move away from me...felt like screaming though...LOL

Anyway its been sometime since I have to heal my hands off...even in Heroic Putricide I did not do tat...but blood queen today is a real challenge...some of us actually missed bites...hmmm...guess they must be lagging very badly to do that...all in all mistakes like this is not so common...

We had our tries on Heroic Putricide again....Irony actually DCed when he was actually the abom today...he came back on-line saying that he is off line...I guess our service provider really is screwing us up...

Totally hate the Unbound Plague...pple get so scared and run around passing them around...I tried counting to 5 before going to someone and unfortunately died cos of Malleable Goo...I got 1 hit by Malleable Goo cos I actually turned my camera angel before running and died due to Unbound Plague and Malleable Goo together...sigh...how can I die to Malleable Goo ?? I think I just got 1 hit for that try and still died OMG...but nevertheless...getting hit by Malleable Goo....X1 hit or X2 hit is not the main point...the point is not to be hit by it totally! Its very hard to discribe how sorry I felt when I died from Malleable Goo...sigh...

Kitata was being asked to heal and I realised having 2 disc priest in Putricide was quite painful after a try...so I switched to playing holy...still like playing holy more...more fun and that you can heal as you move...

Day ends with Putricide dead in normal mode...guess we have to try our best next week...

Chrystie mistakes report: Sigh...doing lots of stupid things and especially not surviving...never HEAL yourself!!!! Too slow on Malleable Goo...

Heroic Putricide - Starting early

Cannot imagine I died to pungent blight today at Festergut today...really CMI..I din see myself missing any of the spores...or at least I have ran to all of them...I even have I of the spores...how can I missed it and die?? OMG =(

I even took time to cast pain suppression on the tank when Pungent Blight occurs..I should have done it on myself...silly me...too confident on my positioning today to think I would have missed any of the spores....

Sigh...died to Rot face at the very end cos the big ooze came after me when Val died...Lucky I had the chance to cast inner focus and also divine hymm...before dying and got the raid up to proper health =)

We started on Heroic Putricide earlier today...or was it?? Anyway we kinda got the boss down to p3 (when Putricide's health reaches 35%) and I felt tat we have improved judging by the % of the health of Putricide....however, pple are still making a lot of mistakes e.g running to orange ooze during target change and not able to run from Malleable Goo etc...actually Malleable Goo is the the that we should not get hit...cos it is something that we should have been avoiding all the while while we were doing normal putricide...

Same as last week there are pple that died to plague...even though less...for one of the tries I myself even died to plague since I could not pass it over to someone next to me...but I can't imagine one thing...there is no one around to pass it to!!!! LOL...next I see I am dead already...omg...

Anyway Zero ended the raid on time and warning was given that either we do it properly and he leads...or he sub out the pple that are causing the problems or making mistakes...or he totally give up on leading the raid...things that he was concern about will be of cos:

1.) Running to orange slime when target not set yet
2.) Proper stopping of dps on boss when phase change so that we don't get extra ooze
3.) Running away from Malleable Goo
4.) Pple dying to plague and passing of plague

We have no doubt that we need a good leader to get the boss down...I guess that will mean that we will be sub out if we are doing anything wrongly...wow this is stressful for me...imagine my hands were cold by the time we are at P3 of the fight...

We will do it again tomorrow!!!

Heroic Putricide - Dealing with Plague?

I was late to raid cos I had dad aggro again...why choose of all days to talk to me when I only raid 2 days a week?? LOL...

Anyway I joined the raid after like they had a few tries on Heroic Putricide and raid leader decided to go for some other bosses before we go back to Putricide again...so there I was in raid cos I needed an off hand and trinklet...in which I finally got the off hand - Shadow Silk Spindle, the heroic version of it...I have waited for a long time....sadly I could not pass it to someone who needs it more then I do (cos I already had the lower version of it i.e the 264 level one) cos of DKP issues (understanding better after discussion with the leaders)...nevertheless I am happy that I finally got it...

My first try on Heroic Putricide of the day....sigh....Seems that the gas cloud like me so much....I was marked for it twice in row...lol...if you sitting next to me in RL...you can actually hear me going "OH MY GOD OH MY GOD....run faster run faster"...of cos I mean myself and not the gas cloud...was really comical actually....real sweat...

I talked to Elyss today and he told me that his guild had to learn how to deal with the plague before they can down heroic putricide....I kinda worried aboout the way our raid is handling it...It seems that everyone is afraid to get the plague...I thought it will be easy if you get it...just count 5s and then pass it to someone...I kinda scared to die so I just hold it for 5s...I wonder if there is any better ways to deal with then that...

Anyway hopefully we can down the boss the next next week =) posititve thinking is the key to sucess! Of cos we need skills as well hee...

Heroic Putricide - Another screwed up day?

How many days have I been screwing up? I not sure abt that...

Totally done all the wrong things for Rot Face and Festergut today...I keep getting pple in my way for Rot Face tat motivation had to show me where to stand...actually the position tat he so call assigned me is where i usually stand....I was just trying to move to the center part so I can reach everyone and at least shield them from the dmg...but no I got squeesed to the right hand side again and screwed up a few times...(we had to try rot face a few times before we can down him....omg...)

I was clearly frustrated when one of the new range dps and also melee keep standing too close to healers...i.e myself lol...and after talking on my mic for sometime I realisd that I forgot to on my mic...when I finally gotta say something on vent...lots of pple pst me and said that I was too loud LOL...

Anyway my ms was as bad as 800 plus during the fights...but I should not be dying to explosion for festergut...I must be dreaming to not see that coming....omg...so another failed boss for me...at least the raid was good enough to down him while I am dead lol....moral of the story? "A dead healer is a useless healer...but at least the raid is so good...they can down the boss without a useless healer" LOL...

Anyway we had an attempt on the Heroic Putricide...we did not manage to go into P3 today...I had a talk with MM and realise that I forgot to mending on the melee for P2 again...

Things I learned after speaking to him:

1.) Mending on melee or myself (If I am dying)
2.) Shield tank and let the pallys deal with the tank even for P3
3.) Must remember to Pain Supression the tank when they have 3 stacks
4.) DPS can die, but not the tank cos the tank will heal the boss if dead, but they are easier to heal when more stacks (this I must double check again).
5.) Raid will get more dmg with more stacks on tank.

I just hope tat for I will remember the tips tat MM has been sharing with me...and also I must go and print out the strategy and study it before I screw up more....

After raid today I have a very sad feeling....cos I realised that there is a long way for us since the group are still not understanding the importance of working hand in hand with one another...

After raiding for so many years, one thing I learnt is that if we want to do well and progress for bosses...we gotta start to treasure the importance of each player...especially healers themselves should know that...no matter how well you heal....you cannot keep the whole raid alive alone...if there are only 5 healers...or 6...we gotta make sure tat all 6 are alive in order to help the raid...whether you are a raid healer or a tank healer...you are very important to the healing committee...I guess if healers are only cares about meters then that will post a very big problem for raid progression...

Actually same goes for the DPS "team" if you can down the boss alone...its not call a raid group...its call "a levelling process"...you know when you level and needs to kill mob to gain experience? LOL...I wonder how long it will take for everyone to understand that...

Cool mount - X-53 Touring Rocket

Was talking to HaHa and suddenly realized that he's just next to me...lol...and was on a very cool mount...the X-53 Touring Rocket...using this mount you can actually carry a passenger behind....and the speed is 310%...OMG??!!!!!



Being curious I was quickly invited on board and he was trying to test whether he can dismount the passenger and true enough I was being forced off the mount...LOL...




When he tried to see if we will be forced off the mount at dalaran...I was being forced off and never gets the slow fall effect on me...OMG the passenger do not get slow fall!!!!

Hee....an evil plan was brewed...I told HaHa to shhhh about it....then he can try killing some lower level by flying above dalaran so that you can be "forced" off the mount...hee hee hee....

I hope HaHa will tell me how many he killed....at least he can rez pple so no problem making some kills....imagine killing your own pple LOL....EVIL....

HK trip

Sigh...was so worried that I will not be able to raid for the week when I went to China and then to HK on 12 Aug 2010...been bugging Zell for the pictures and finally got the time to convert them or rather make them smaller since Zell's cam's resolution was extremely scarily big...LOL

Beq said that we can go down to HK from China so I made plans to meet the guildies from HK...

hhmmmm....I guess I went in a rush...we couldn't form group to run an instance...only Zell was there to meet us...actually it was just nice a group...we have a tank (Zell), a healer (myself) and a dps (Beq)....I was even wearing my "Priest uniform" (got from www.jinx.com totally love it) when I went there...and I really appreciate him taking the effort to come and meet us given the hectic lifestyle in HK...everyone has no time...or rather busy...

He sounded exactly the same as he was in RL and in vent!! LOL...

Zell had to bring along all his installation disc for WOW since Beq had to reinstall his WOW since he corrupted it when he deleted the administrator account on it....he keeps getting an error message and his couldn't login at all...



Clockwise: Zell, Christy and Beq

Imagine while we were at HK, Beq had to leave his PC on and running the WoW installation while we were having lunch in the restaurant LOL...it was raining heavily outside and we made haste our choice to come to this Japanese restaurant...



May I have some more please?


Anyway thanks to Zell at least Beq can now play WoW while he's is away from SG... =)

After our lunch and of cos after installing WOW onto Beq's laptop...we went on to the streets to explore...its like 19 years since I step foot into HK...




Hope the next time we go HK we will be able to meet all the guildies there...I told Zell next time I go there I will make sure I organise a guild outing....hopefully by next year I can save enough money to do it =)
