Whew, cleared Mogu'shan Vaults tonight (first night both halves were
open), and... fun fights, horrible people is the best I can say :-P
First half I'd seen before so had some idea, but others hadn't, fair
enough IMO, it's only been out a week, no need to stress over it. But,
of course, the usual lovely people having a right go at "noobs" who
aren't psychic and don't happen to know the finer points of each
fight. Plus mad pulling by people who haven't noticed that this is not
Dragon Soul and blue-geared healers do not actually have infinite
mana... which resulted in a rather hilarious situation on the 2nd boss
where me and another healer got locked out, having dared to stop for a
drink for 5 seconds, and somebody pulled before we could cross the
wall. You can guess how that went with only 4 healers :-P Well, it
went better on the second try lol. At least people actually bothered
to use the totems on the 3rd boss, progress on last week!
Second half was even worse on the attitudes front frankly, I stuck a
tank on ignore early on for being so damn patronising towards us
"scrubs" who hadn't seen the fight before, and who didn't have the
psychic ability to understand exactly what he meant by "out" (I moved
out, clearly not far enough out but, erm, why not state *clearly*
before the boss when it's so important, then?). 3rd boss was a mess of
insults, reported someone for swearing at the healers and really
should've ignored a rogue for being sarky at the healers all the time
(funnily enough he was kinda low on my priorities for the rest of the
run). Here's a hint: if you're not being healed, it's for a good
reason, like, I dunno, we've run ourselves oom and blown all cds
trying to cover for the one dc'd healer (fair enough, stuff happens
and he was healing his heart out when he returned) and the idiot
healer who decided afk'ing for dinner was more important than his raid
(he tried to avoid a kick by claiming he was the highest healer on the
previous fights... right before the vote went through lol).
For all that, the bossfights themselves are fun, there's a lot to keep
track of, it feels rather complicated to me but I got the general idea
by the end, and hopefully after a few weeks most people will
understand them better and we might have a little less insults flying
round raidchat... :-P My loot luck was terrible, no drops at all,
right up to the last boss, who kindly gave me a spirit trinket when I
spent a coin for a 2nd roll - perfect, as my 2nd trinket was by far my
worst slot, massive upgrade for me! :-) Roll on next week, and
hopefully more luck, less stress.
