i actually don't particularly care that much. i'm truly not a loot-oriented gamer, and I like +1s specifically because the loot gets shared equally. i almost didn't even roll on the off-hand but, c'mon mate. we all know what just happened. πŸ™‚

they could literally have just said they’ll give it to the mage since you got loot already and be a real adult about it yeah 😭😭 my guild does that sometimes, who cares….

actually had a lot of fun progging Heroic Vizier huge raid-wide damage, but there are three DR bubbles, but each can only have three people. Phase 2 you only get two bubbles, so 4 people have to immune / big CD and then there's a bullet hell mechanic, MCs, and a burn phase with everything combined

we didn't kill it by 3%, so dropped it to normal, but it was fun. it was after that that raid got....... shittier. a perfect example of how WoW raiding is fun for a bit, but then has a HUGE inflection point where it can very quickly become very unfun

Heart of Fear's also a........... weird raid. there's some interesting ideas, but a bit too much jank. In just 6 bosses, you have 2 mind controls, 1 vehicle boss, 1 boss that's just adds and CC, a non-tankable kiting boss where you target different bodyparts....

they also hadn't quite understood which abilities should and shouldn't target healers (or balanced it for 10man) so you can get situations where e.g. 2 MCs or 2 Fears go out and it just hits both your healers. which feels a bit like "well, bad RNG, wipe"

thought my dps was quite mid while in the raid, but looking at logs, ele shamans are just low and i was 5-10 ilvls behind everyone else. on ilvl% i was actually completely blasting lol

anyway my sub's expiring in 4 days and I'm still on the fence on whether I'm gonna renew it's been fun at times, but also boring or frustarting enough at times to instantly remind me why i quit
