Tuesday was another smooth start. We didn't one shot Blackfuse, but we downed him on the second go around. Paragons went down very quickly and we managed to get some time on Garrosh. It was only a couple of pulls and he ate our tanks (one of which was me) alive but we managed to punch him a couple of times.
Wednesday we had our dedicated Garrosh day. It took us a few minutes to get started but once we were rolling we made consistent progress. We managed to get to the point where we were burning through phase one quickly and were pushing through phase two. We still have a little work to go but I don't think we are far from getting to phase three a few times. Next week... well we will see.
With next week we are going to be short a couple of people. I still want to push and see if we can get the group to work on these fights but depending on who shows it might be rough. With Blizzard announcing that the PVP season is ending in a couple weeks (most likely on the 14th of October) that is likely patch day for 6.0. That means, yes I was wrong about when it was going to drop. I can own that. But it also means that next week will be our last chance to work on Garrosh pre-patch.
When the patch drops we aren't sure what will happen. Honestly every time a patch before an expansion has dropped before we have had a small boost to the power of our characters etc... so I'm not too worried. There is the chance however that we may go into Siege and find out that between the item squish and ability pruning we just aren't performing as well. Not because the stat squish is a nerf, but because we are not used to our rotations, or translating the damage we are putting out into levels we understand. Meaning, if I was pulling about 250k dps and now I'm pulling 2k. How does that translate? Am I doing better or worse? Honestly until I have seen how others are performing I won't be able to tell. Neither will anyone else.
I am also debating other things. One of the guilds I run with on the side has changed. When I joined it, it was family friendly clean chat etc... It still claims to be those things in the guild tab but running with them eventually (I am only occasionally over there) I was shocked to find the environment is now more adult suited from language to subject matter. This wouldn't bother me as much if I was expecting it, but as I wasn't it was more then a little disconcerting. I am probably going to sit on the decision for now, but next expansion I may be looking for a new home for a couple of Hordies. Heck, I may even just start a "Fear Itself" Guild on the Horde side of Zangarmarsh/Hellscream for folks to play in when they are feeling a little Hordie.
If someone from that guild reads this, understand. I am not calling you guys out, or being disparaging in anyway. Guilds and groups over time change. It is inevitable. The guild is just not feeling like a fit for me anymore, and that means it might be time to move on. If I do so I wish you all the best luck in the world, and hope everything continues to work out well for you.
Well, time to gird up and get ready for work. See ya'll on next week.
