(WoW) "War has changed."
Freshly switched back to Retribution off-spec, I'm seeing need to collect epic gems again. One of the easiest ways to do this seems to be accumulation of honor via Wintergrasp weekly quests. So this morning I queued up for defense. It was a reasonably quick loss. Pity, but it netted me somewhere around 12000 honor points, enough for one gem, two with the 8000 I had sitting around already.
But... I started off the battle going to a tower cannon. I've done this dozens of times before (mostly with my priest when gathering marks for a healer hood). This time, however, there was a Horde warlock on top of the tower above me, nuking the heck out of my cannon and (in)conveniently out of reach of most of my attacks. WTF? I guess this is a new trick since they allowed flying over the zone, or something - put yourself in a strategic location before the battle start. That... kinda sucked and felt really, really cheap. I used to actually feel useful at a cannon position. *lesigh*
Probably the least solid progress we've seen in a while during Saturday's raid. We finally downed the Assembly of Iron, which is great, but that's it. We had a really, really close attempt on Hodir, getting him below 5%, but our last try after that was seriously hindered by a healer getting disconnected. Freya's trash smacked us around. We cleared the area after one wipe and some messy pulls only to then get spanked by her adds during the main fight. We definitely need to figure out how best to handle them, and we need to simply kill them faster.
We still have some issue with who to bring, ending up with two more level 80 characters than we had room for, if I recall. And still there are no easy answers. We'll just have to play it by ear and try to get as many people involved as we can when we can.
