Raid Sunday November 8th, 2009

Tonight I was very happy to get back at it and down some bosses in ToGC and things were promising as we only had one hiccup on Northrend Beasts which caused an enrage(but killed nonetheless) and one on Lord Jaraxxus. I had a problem with the Infernal that hit me right after a Fel Lightning and it caused me to die. Now I am not sure what caused him to attack me but it might have been the tank not having complete aggro and I pulled with a couple (un)lucky crits. I felt really good at this point that things were going well and then we once again smashed up against my least favorite encounter in the game(even worse than Archimonde), Faction Champions. I think I have such a distaste with it because it isn't a completely controllable encounter and has a lot of random things that can happen. The things that caused me to die were the usual, too many things on me without enough things to get away and escape successfully. This is something I need to work on because I need to first know what I have and what I don't when I am targeted, which I got better at I felt throughout the night, and I need to be much more vocal about asking for help. I also think something I will be doing for tomorrow will be getting the Soulstone glyph and having that as a good way to get someone who was dying back up because people that are doing things like dispelling and CC are critical to success and this would allow them to rez with alot of health and mana and be able to get back into the fray when we really need them.

We didn't accomplish our goals with Faction Champions so we spent the end of the night doing normal mode ToC which went well and we then worked on the strategy for Anub hard mode, which I was not sure of right away but after seeing it I am confident I will be able to handle it if called upon. I will also comment on my threat again as I think I did something wrong but not totally sure with the adds because I did pull one and not sure if it was something I could have prevented and caused Phase 3 to be a much larger problem than it should have been.

All in all I guess it was a C- night seeing as the original goals were not met. Hopefully tomorrow will bring us better fortune.
