You DO kick ass!

I'm doomed, it seems, to never be able to finish a heroic daily. The last two times I've tried, I've gotten to the last boss that we have to kill, we wipe, then I have to go.

Shadow Labrynth. Murmur. It isn't a raid night (for me, at least). We breeze through -- Vorpil down in under 1 teleport. (Literally, he was at 3% when we had our first teleport - close enough for me to call it - under 1 teleport. With as many DoTs on him, he didn't live long enough to even start ticking down his Rain of Fire.)

We get to Murmur. Our tank and our healer don't quite have the concept of avoiding his sonic boom down very well. So we wipe. And then my new guild leader, Gaj, gives me a tell and says, "Kikidas, we NEEEEEEED you to come to help us kill Hydross the Unstable! We have no hope without you! Come save us!"

Well, I'm paraphrasing.

So I have to leave. I beg one more shot at Murmur, but then as we're heading back in, we have respawn. And I have my guild leader begging me to come save him from the savage horde that is the other 23 people of a SSC raid.

Today. It's 10am. I get in a group to do heroic slave pens, today's heroic daily. We have a few wipes, a few funnies (haha! I died AGAIN! This is hilarious!) and a few obligatory 'Whew, how did we live?' moments.

At one point in time, the rogue we were partying with (I do not know this rogue, to my knowledge.) gives me a tell, out of the blue, with 'You do kick ass'.

Now, to my defense, I did not subtly prompt that comment with any little 'oh, I hope I'm doing enough DPS. Am I doing okay?' or any other such coy attempts to get praise. Nor was there any commentary on the damage meters or anything like that.

It's nice to know I truly am universally loved.

Anyway, we get to Quag, for some odd reason Bite dies so we lack his buff, and we wind up wiping twice. The third time we're coming back in, I look and realize it's almost 2pm! And I have to go to the pharmacy to pick up medicine. The pharmacy is down by where I work. Which is 20 minutes away from my house. The pharmacy closes at 3pm. The weather is something described best in the last part of 'The Day After Tomorrow' where you can see the ice forming out of the moisture in the air!

So I have to leave before we finally down Quagmirron.

But...

I do kick ass.

5/5 Ranks in Advanced Hubris

As you may have noted, I tend to type with a vast degree of hubris. Warlocks >>> anything else. K >>> anyone else. However I type though, that is so very much not the case in real life. I tend to have some self-esteem issues, so I overcompensate by imitating two men who have no humility what so ever when it comes to their paladins, Owaru and Boon.

Owaru and Boon have this ongoing 'who is the better paladin' stream of consciousness no-joking aside tit for tat competition. It's vastly amusing for everyone listening on to listen to them. They pull random people into it and random people respond by poking gentle and sometimes not so gentle fun back at them. Each of them tout theirselves as the most awesome paladin and poopoo's the other as the least awesome (or 2nd awesome) paladin.

In my not so humble opinion (see title!), Owaru is the best tankadin I've ever partied with and Boon is the best healadin I've ever partied with. Toss in me (the best warlock EVER! See title AND see previous post to read this statement correctly), maybe BigPappi (a kickass Fire Mage) and some other type of good DPSyperson (Shadow Priests are nummy), and you've got the best group in existence!

You're only as good as the people in your group to a certain extent. If you have someone doing poor DPS, you're overall DPS in comparison is going to jump up. Instead of doing 25% (the other three DPS ideally doing also 25%), you'll be doing 33%. If you have someone doing insane amounts of DPS (and you know who you are...) other people's DPS will be lower in comparison. I can't put out the massive amounts of dots and DPS that makes me a happy happy warlock without a kickass tank to keep the mobs off of me and a kickass healer to keep me (not to mention the tank) alive.

So, what I'm saying is that.. my hubris is directly proportional to the abilities of the people I party with. So... since I'm the GODDESS OF WARLOCKS, what does that tell you guys about.. you guys?
