Looks like we are ranked 13-14 on the server for progression on Alliance side.
We are special!
Unicorns for everyone!

Also, looks like BD seems to be the place to gain some ground before advancing further in BoT, given our current position and all things being equal.

And here I thought we were special

TK asked about this tonight re:Mage specs, but here is a breakdown of who is top of the heap DPS-wise in 4.0.3a raiding. This data is pulled from World of Logs parses like the ones we submit.

State of DPS

Another boss down. Nice job last night folks. I think we found homes for most of the gear too. Good luck next week.

Funny how my best dps moments are never when the boss goes down...

I don't think I would be too concerned about the numbers, it is about the boss deaths. We know if the numbers are too low to kill something. Staying alive, avoiding extra damage to keep our healers happy, raid utility... all part of the mix. We are a team.

Oh i know but as a designated DPS slot i'd like to think i did my best when everything came together. I'm my own worst critic and fuss at myself.

Still on that paticular fight there's definitely more to it than big numbers. Never had to pull back and not do dps on a single target before. How many times did we wipe because we did too much dps?

Three, maybe four.

The dragon trash prior to Mal was hilarious. Also expensive

I so wish I took a screenshot riding the elevator with him. It made me really happy and giggly.

We may have downed a boss we've never killed before but watching the dragon ride the elevator with you followed by finding him asleep at the top of it when we came back in was amazing. And follow that with someone yelling "get on the elevator, he wants to ride back down" into vent which served only to get Grinds and I on there and staring at one another uncomfortably while you guys fought and killed him up top?

Best trash pull ever.

Grinds would make that awkward

It was weird. I could tell he was staring at me but every time I tried to return his gaze he would quickly turn away or pretend he had a cough. We ended up getting off the elevator without saying anything but he clearly wanted to.

Super awkward.

I think the dragon was scared, saw us get on the elevator and decided he wanted nothing to do with the chubby-chicken. Figured his odds were better off fighting the other 8 guys. Since we weren't fighting, I was just looking for a hug. Kinder gentler GWJ alliance.
