Well, maybe I’m not taking as much time off from 25-mans as I expected. Due to an unexpected reduction in raider numbers (and another unexpected increase in raiding numbers after another Dath’remar raiding guild stopped raiding, and we picked up a few new faces) I’ve decided to get back into the game.
I have to admit, after just a couple of nights off I’m happy to get back to it (and the possibility that the new raiders will stand in the fire less than some of the old ones is appealing as well). I might take the occasional night off in future (raid numbers willing), but for now the vacation’s over. (It was kind of novel while it lasted, brief though it may have been)
We had a less than optimal run last night, thanks to low numbers (as well as some undergeared new raiders), but we managed to get Ignis, XT, Kologarn, Iron Council and Auriaya down anyway (even though our lower-than-normal dps meant we actually hit Auriaya’s enrage timer, which was kind of embarrassing). Still, considering we were also 24-manning a lot of it, we pulled through better than we could have. Next week’s raiding could be very interesting.
I’ve put a couple more levels onto Snowfall, but she’s just not as enjoyable to level as my dwarf army has been. I’m not sure if it’s the blood elf aesthetic, or just the complete lack of friendly guild chat (which is to be expected, not having a guild horde-side). It’s an unusual experience though, to be leveling somewhere completely new (as I haven’t leveled a horde-side character since pre-TBC). I guess I’ll see it goes. (I could just go back to my nelf druid, and see if playing her has jelled any more for me, but my enthusiasm is fleeting)
The last couple of days have been largely non-fishing ones, due to the fishing daily being in Wintergrasp – nothing kills the mood quite like PvP getting in the way of your otherwise solitary and enjoyable past-time.
Ah well, time to publish and then pretend to be productive.
