Gloriously, none of them appear to be my fault. :D<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, the fact remains the Shambling Horrors and their enrages suck, Soul Shriek sucks and, oh yeah, standing on the outer edge of the platform AS IT CRUMBLES AWAY sucks.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;m going to complain a bit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?spell=73801\" target=\"_blank\">Soul Shriek<\/a> silences people for five seconds.<\/p>\n<p>It is supposed to be cast in a frontal cone, meaning the tanks will be silenced.<\/p>\n<p>Tanks should not be silenced so that they may taunt.<\/p>\n<p>When you have one holy paladin who is LARGELY responsible for healing BOTH tanks (thank you, Beacon), who can rarely spare a moment to refresh her Judgements of the Pure, you need other people in the raid to dispell that silence.<\/p>\n<p>Dispells on the raid tonight, including the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?spell=70337\" target=\"_blank\">Necrotic Plague<\/a> dispells:<\/p>\n<p>Holy priest (in charge of NP dispells): 111<\/p>\n<p>Myself: 21<\/p>\n<p>Shadow Priest: 9<\/p>\n<p>Rogue (for the enrage on the Shambling Horrors?): 5<\/p>\n<p>Ret Paladin: 1<\/p>\n<p>Nothing from the discipline priest. Just the one from the ret pally. Failure. I honestly cannot stop spamming the instant that comes up on a reliable basis, because, hi, that&#8217;s like, 30k damage from the ability, right when they&#8217;re silenced. I NEED to be healing that damage.<\/p>\n<p>Seriously. Look at this.<\/p>\n<p>[00:09:16.809] Raging Spirit Soul Shriek\u00a0 MT 19774\u00a0 (A: 2207, R: 2976)<br \/>\n[00:09:16.809] MT afflicted by Soul Shriek\u00a0 from Raging Spirit<br \/>\n[00:09:18.244] Madranah Beacon of Light MT +11420 (O: 3589)<br \/>\n[00:09:19.444] Madranah Beacon of Light MT +0 (O: 22235)<br \/>\n[00:09:20.099] Madrana casts Cleanse on MT<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s nearly four seconds into the silence. But it was STILL ON THE main tank, so after I healed up the nearly 20k damage he took (through Beacon, while healing the OT as well), I cleansed it.<\/p>\n<p>\/facepalm<\/p>\n<p>\/headdesk<\/p>\n<p>The disc priest had been asked to help out with it at about attempt #6. The ret pally at about attempt #10.<\/p>\n<p>0 in 10 attempts by the disc priest. 1 in 6 by the ret pally.<\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s not like they even only get Soul Shriek ONCE. They get it several times a fight!<\/p>\n<p>Plus, we were on Vent again tonight. Totally annoying and absurd. At one point, a mage says:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Salv on [his name].&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;m thinking to myself, &#8220;You tool. If you think I have even HALF A SECOND to spare to toss you Hand of Salvation, when I&#8217;m keeping up BOTH TANKS here, you are freaking crazy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The ret pally apparently cast it on him, but if he had been like &#8220;I SAID SALV ON [NAME]&#8221;, I would have been like &#8220;Sorry, would you like me to let the tanks die while I cast a spell on you that is wholly unneeded if you would, I don&#8217;t know, Invis? Or WATCH YOUR THREAT in the first damn place?!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Seriously. I don&#8217;t need to hear these people. Their voices, their ambient background noise, their idiotic requests that they don&#8217;t make through the proper channels (raid chat, for instance).<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s not to say that I wouldn&#8217;t ever raid with Vent again, but I think my preference is to not at this point. I&#8217;d do it for Apotheosis, because I know and love those people and because it&#8217;s like spending three hours with friends when I raided with them. But I don&#8217;t need to listen to 20-some mouth-breathers who stroke their epeens while using perjorative terms for various social minorities in Vent and raid and guild chat.<\/p>\n<p>Ugh. I feel like I should shower after that raid night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, we extended our ICC lockout this week so we could work on the Lich King. 3 hours. 16 wipes.
