Wednesday (24 Feb) - The Lows and Highs of Raiding

Wild was still riding pretty high as he logged in Wednesday night, the dismantling of six boss encounters on Tuesday still fresh in his mind. Since there had been no raid sign up placed in the calendar by the MM group for the ten man run, Wild had signed up as Tentative for the Wednesday guild run.

No sooner did Wild log in, however, he got a whisper from Sh, the shaman who was tapped to get the MM ten man back together after losing our other raid leader to real life issues. Sh told Wild he was going to try to get ten man together. Wild told him I'd be happy to go, but that he would have to wait until guild invites were done before I'd know if I was available. "Ok", Sh sent back, "and don't worry, we'll hold a spot for you."

I was pretty sure Wild would not be raiding with the guild this night. The only thing in Wild's favor was that if you run the first night there is a preference to let you go the second night, too. However, as Wild was only a tentative sign up, and was a Tier 2 raider to boot, I figured others would get the call. Wild was fine with that. There were a number of good healers sitting around as Standbys already, and I had no problem with letting them run if a spot opened.

The guild raid filled, so Wild sent Sh a whisper, "Ok, I'm all yours!" The invite to the ten man came right after that. Lady Hunter was with the group this night, who Wild hadn't seen much of in recent weeks. We got caught up on things as we tried to get enough to fill the raid. Lady Hunter and I even talked another one of Wild's guildies into joining us, as he was looking for a ten man to join.

We were never able to get ten together, however, which Sh blamed himself for since he had not put up a calendar invite in time. We made plans for next week. I really think we'll be ready to rock with this ten man by then.

Ok, break break, pretend this is another post. :)

Gratz on the new mouse gadget, erik! I'm not even jealous (since it isn't made for a lefty anyway). That new allie is going to need all the the help it can get in BGs against the Wild family. :P

So, how many Deathbots do you plan to have? Isn't this your second one? JB has a hard enough time figuring out all those special characters in those names.

Wild actually has a couple of black sheep alliance family members, although they've been off the reservation for quite a while. A paladin and a hunter, both level 13. They're pretty much bumpkins, though, geared only with what Happy had scrounged up for them a long time ago. Those two would probably get your allie killed faster than one of the horde family. ;-)

I've got too many other things on the plate than trying to level those two, but if your allie just wants company in the teens bracket on our pvp night I'm game to see what the "other side" is like.
