As I’ve mentioned in a few recent posts, my guild is working on Illidan right now. If you aren’t familiar with the fight, there is a an ability he uses in Phases 1, 3, and 5 called Parasitic Shadowfiend. It not very dangerous. In fact it’s one of the easiest boss abilities to deal with in tier 6 raiding. All you have to do is run over to the side of the raid where a couple of mages are waiting, stop a couple of yards past them, and wait for the debuff timer to tick down to zero. At that point you spawn two shadowfiends that usually aggro on the raids healers and you quickly move away from them. Mages step in, frost nova and then nuke them. Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy!
But, as further proof that a large number of WoW players snacked on paint chips as kids, people kept failing at this during our last raid. The mages bitched about it so much, that people started doing the whole, “Stop QQing!” thing. I rank the stupidity of ‘QQ’ right up there with ‘lol’ because most internet slang sounds fucking retarded when spoken out loud. Unless you do it ironically like I do. Then it’s cool.
So why bring up people failing at such a simple part of a fight. Simple, if you suck at the easiest part of the fight, you probably suck at important parts of the fight. If you couldn’t handle using the brake, I wouldn’t want to ride in a car with you, so if you can’t handle walking from point A to point B, why would I want to raid with you. We made thirteen attempts on Illidan the other night and at least half of the wipes were due to people screwing up simple shit, like where to stand and stopping dps during phase changes. So stop screwing up on the simple shit you mouth breathers.

I always laugh when we compare our guild to others in similar progression. We can down the hardest parts like it was nothing, but then wipe wipe wipe to silly little things. Other guilds took a week or 2 to get illi past P3 we did it the first night, then again wipity wipe wipe. Funny in a sense, like sniffing pant or glue.

Stuff like this happens everywhere so it seems :0 ofcourse our group is pretty mellow and don’t start bitching to much….
Simple things are hard at first then when everyone understands the fight its pretty smooth going. Takes a while and after not doing a certain fight for a while some ppl have forgotten how it works and have to learn all over again…
Then again some friendly coaching is whats required for those ppl I guess. ….

Disregard my previous comment. I’m a idiot socialist.

People tend to just take turns at stupid-ing it up. A particularly memorable Illidan kill includes a screenshot showing:
1 dead Illidan
25 dead raiders

Wilgie,
You make it seems so easy with the cartoony cuteness strategy. I only got confused by the proofreading I had to stop and rant about.
If only I had the time to raid, sigh. Good luck Sin.
