Tuesday we did wing one again. Yes, again. I hopped on my mage this time so I could try something a little different and we of course got through the whole experience roughly intact. We only did the one wing as it was a late start to say the least. It was a pleasant experience though, the mood was high and we still are pushing to get some gear for some lower geared folks.
Wednesday we went straight to wing 2, and cleared the wing by the end of the night. This time I took my hunter to help push through the higher life pulls and the raid went rough at first, then got moving well. I was very frustrated when Galakras took us 3 or 4 pulls to down as we died to simple mistakes more then once. We then one shot Iron Juggs, had our best pull and one shot ever on Dark Shaman, and got Nazgrim down at the end of the night on our second pull.
Next week we are starting on wing 3 again. If we down it in one night we will smack Blackfuse around again.
I am really fighting the feeling of being stagnant right now. I feel we have been stuck in the same place for months now, and looking back at posts, I'm not wrong. There is that saying that something has got to give, well for me I am feeling it more and more. I try to be positive but this is one of those moments where I debate if I'm holding the raid team together for Warlords, or if I actually think we are going to progress further.
The people we are gearing are giving me some hope, but I can only hope we can push further soon. We are running out of time before WOD launches, and soon it will be upon us. At that point we will take a break from raiding while we all level to 100, then will start all over again. I won't lie, I look forward to this small break as the beginning of the expansions is normally the only break I take from raiding. We could continue to push stuff at that time, but it seems silly to work on raid content when we could be leveling and gearing at a relevant level.
I am excited more and more about the upcoming expansion. From what I've played of the starting zones it's not Orc heavy. It's Orc and Draenei heavy. The alliance starting zone is fantastic and shiny new. Garrison's feel good. They are interactive, but so far don't seem to be a bogged down quest hub like it was feared they might be. (Golden Lotus 2.0, no thank you)
The NPCs are good so far. Lots of familiar faces, and a lot of new ones are everywhere. I wanted to write a blog about the inclusiveness of the game, but I feel this is getting over hashed right now and I don't have a lot to add to that argument other then to stir up some dirt pointlessly. (I have opinions on this, but I would need a lot of space from a long rant. I have that here, but I'm not ready to let it out.)
Next week will be a new week. I'm hoping to see some progress that lightens my heart. Either way, I will be diving headfirst into the fray.
