My guild is currently working on Archimonde. I know, I know, you all assumed I was in some crazy progression guild that had finished the whole game. Don’t blame me, blame the slow asses in my guild. Actually we just started late. We didn’t start raiding until five or six months after BC hit, and [...]

When raiders reach their limits.

Don’t be a healing sponge.
August 29th, 2008 · 3 Comments
One of the many things that frustrates me when raiding, is that most raiders don’t seem to understand that when healers have to heal them, that is usually a bad thing. Sure there are fights where everyone takes damage like Naj’entus or Gurtogg, and healers earn their pay on those fights. I’m talking about [...]
I have a plan…

Every time I see someone die in a fire on a boss fight, my soul becomes a just a little more twisted with hatred and evil. This is a bad thing. Another year or two leading raids and I’ll be ready to get shipped off to Guantanamo. “Death to the infidels who cannot move [...]
Zen and the art of moving out of fire.

In recent weeks I’ve noticed something. When you can get your raiders (especially the stupid ones) to focus on what’s going on in the game right this second they live longer. Unfortunately they’re usually thinking about really useful stuff like:
Wow, my last spell crit for a zillion damage, I [...]
Don’t come to the raid stupid.

Now for all you stupid people out there, I’m not telling you to miss your next raid. I’m just suggesting that when you show up for a raid you leave the stupid at the door. Maybe wake the fuck up when the raid starts and do your job right the first time.
As a raid [...]
Why I’m pissed
August 28th, 2008 · 2 Comments
So why am I so pissed off? It’s because it takes 24 other people to raid and most of you suck at this game. WoW is the first MMO I’ve played and it took me a while to figure out what was different about MMOs as compared to other games. People rarely spend a [...]
Excuses.
August 28th, 2008 · 7 Comments
Excuses. I love excuses. One of my favorite parts of being a raid leader are the constant stream of bullshit excuses I get to hear when someone screws up:
My Internet is down! – And yet, you’re still on Ventrilo.
I don’t know what happened! I was watching my aggro! – I was watching it too, as [...]
DIAF
August 28th, 2008 · No Comments
Don’t DIAF. For those of you who aren’t up on all of the cool gamer lingo, DIAF means Die in a Fire. It’s something you say to people you don’t like. It’s also something to be avoided when raiding. Almost all fights consist of two things:
1. Do your job.
2. Don’t die in the fire.
The [...]
