A couple of weeks ago I was invited to do my first raid. Yes, I’ve been playing a couple of years and this truly was my first 10 man raid, or raid of any kind for that matter. We won’t go intothe why’s of how that is the case, we’re just going to skip ahead to the good stuff.

It was a wipe fest. As expected. We did Twilight Bastion and most of us were horribly under geared for it. I know my item level was only 314 at the time. One of the other DPS said Player Score ( the new Gear Score) was tellign him that it would be “formidable” for him and he was one of the top 3 in gear. So it was a challenge. And everyone expected that.<\/span><\/p>\n

We even had trouble with the trash. It took us a while just to get down the first group and stay out of the puple\/black puddles on the floor. After a while I adjusted my approach to doing damage and instead of standing right next to the mob and wailing on it like I normally do, I let my ghoul do that and I would run in, hit it a few times and then back off. This approach meant I wasn’t doing as much damage as I otherwise might because my auto attack wasn’t contributing. However, it did mean I quit taking as much damage. And since our healers were having a hard enough time keeping up the tanks, I figured this would have to be the trade off.<\/span><\/p>\n

We did finally manage to get through the trash and to the first boss. This was about 2 hours into it. The first time we tried we lasted about 48 seconds. A little reasearch and we tried something else and we lasted 38 seconds. I think we tried about 5 times and wiped every time and our first attempt was the best we did, or longest we lasted. We finally gave up when the trash at the entrance re-spawned.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was really glad we were done. It was very late, at least for me, and I was rapidly running out of steam. Not that I didn’t have fun. I did. No one expected us to finish it and I thinke we all expected to die a lot and so there was no drama. Would I do it again? Sure. Though I would like to start earlier and I think for that to happen I’m going to need to be on a server in my time zone. I’m currently east coast United States and the server I’m playing on is on Pacific time as were the raid leaders. <\/span><\/p>\n

I was invited to the second attempt the following week. It didn’t happen for a variety of reasons and my not being there wasn’t even a factor. Now I hear the healers for that group, one of whom invited me in the first place, well they are likely to be taking a hiatus from World of Warcraft. So it will probably be quite some time before I get to raid again. <\/span><\/p>\n

Guess I better get to running dungeons.<\/span><\/p>\n
