Bertman vs the raid – great raid, sour aftertaste

So last Thursday, the 1th of November, we prepared ourselves once again to kill the first bosses in Mogu’shan vaults.

As I wrote last time I was quite concerned about our healing team. Our two “main” healers weren’t there.

With “main” I don’t mean Eerdragon or Sky aren’t main healers because they obviously are but San and Bala are our unofficial healing leaders really. They are both most vocal on vent and are experienced healing leads.

So with Eerdragon, Sky and Linutari healing (Linu has resto as off spec!) I was afraid we would be having a rough time.

Boy was I wrong.

Eer and Sky proved they are more than just healers. They are MAIN healers. And Linu proved he knows a thing or two about healing too. I even saw him top the meters from time to time (not that healing meters matter much, but yeah…)

They really put my troubled mind to rest.

Eer, Sky and Linu proved they are more than capable of holding there own. Those guys did amazingly well.

And so did the raid.

An hour after we went in, fearing it might be a wipefest, we where getting ready for progression attempts at the Spirit Kings! It only took us an hour to kill every. Single. Boss. We killed before.

/mind blown

And so we started our attempts at the Spirit Kings.

And from the first pull, it was ON.

If you ever played sports you must know that feeling that you got your opponent where you want him and that you just know, if we just push a little harder we win.

That was the feeling in the raid that evening and that’s what we did. We pushed just a little harder, a little better, a little more focused and the Spirit Kings fell.

Not only did we clear the first 3 bosses in record time, not only did we kill a new boss, we actually bought us time for 2 or 3 attempts at Elegon himself!

What a ride!

Sadly, it’s not always good news.

Wildharp left Renown this weekend. There had been some annoyances between her and several other officers and this raid was the last drip.

I don't want to linger to much on it but I think you guys at least deserve a run-down on what happened.

She did not agree with the way we killed (!) certain bosses and this argument came to a climax in officer chat.

I will never understand why people want to argue over a good thing but it obviously happens. I’m all for improving our raids but much better than 3 boss kills in under an hour it won’t get with our gear level and our experience with the bosses.

I wish her all the best in finding a new guild that suits her needs.
