Good season, everybody! Gallywix was a kill that we just stumbled into. It took us a total of 60 pulls. Most of our efforts were spent working on smoothing out the first pull. We wiped once we entered the final phase for the first time, and then we killed it on the subsequent pull. It was completely unexpected, as I thought it would’ve taken us longer to get a better understanding of it, but I gotta give flowers to the team for a job well done. Now our off-season starts as we slowly work our way back there and begin farming. We’ll have a pair of healers away this weekend, which means I get to come in. I’ve been on the sidelines, and I haven’t fully raided on my Priest since March.
- We did add another healer to the DJs, and that brings us up to a healthy six-healer unit. This will be important as we enter the Summer months. We’re closing recruiting otherwise as we have a full slate right now.
- Over in Last Call, we ended a few trials and some of our rostered players, as it was just no longer a good fit for us in the direction and approach we’re planning to push towards. Our healer count is at exactly 4, which is a perilous number for me as it means I have almost no buffer. The fallback healer I have would be me playing one of my other Priests.
- Speaking of Last Call, we successfully defeated Sprocket! It took us 111 pulls, which is about on par with the average. Unfortunately, we struggled on going backwards with the reclear on Stix. There’s just something about it that makes farm kills that much harder. I know that we’re a solid team and we’re capable of it. I was so frustrated because we crushed Sprocket with an hour left. I wanted to push forward and go on to One Armed Bandit, but the rest of the senior team felt it more efficient to reclear Rik Reverb and Stix. We have about 10 weeks left in our season, and I really want to get to Gallywix and try to get a clear on it. The two hardest bosses are coming with Bandit and Mug’zee, both of which will take some serious time to learn.
- Corruptions have come out this week, and much to my chagrin, it has also been time-gated. I can’t believe seven-year-old content is being drip-fed like this. The main content patches have been so much fun so far with Liberation of Undermine, but these other secondary patches don’t feel good right now, and we’re being forced to wait.
- On my Holy Priest, I’ve been told there’s a new raid spec that’s back in play (Oracle Holy). Prayer of Healing is on the menu again! Can’t wait to try it out and see how it plays.
- It’s a long weekend coming up and I will be out a few key players. I hope we will still have enough to get some reps in.
