So my awesome baby guild on Ysera is kind of dead in the water, or rather it's gone tits up. The Gm? Total WoW burn out, our tankadin is afk, and well it just sucks and makes me sad. So after talking to the GM I got his blessing to go looking for a guild.
Monday I joined a new guild, and last night was the first night of raiding. First off, I like it, there's a lot of active players I ask in guild if anyone wants a heroic and BAM full group. It *FEELS* low key and relaxed, and as someone who really, really doesn't want drama in a guild it's awesome.
But yeah first night of raiding with them. There some jokes in vent during trash, but boss time was serious time. It reminded me a bit of my wrath/ICC 25m guild on Hao. I did have flasks but in my nervous dancing chicken way forgot my buff foods. I had looked up 2 of the fights in Bastion of Twilight and a few of the fights in Blackwing Decent. The bad news is we were in BoT, and what I had looked up was helpful, but I felt like such a huge blithering idiot. Especially when we hit the Asendant Council and I died on the trash before it and hadn't looked up that fight. /idiot.
My dancing chicken of nervousness self combined with not knowing enough and forgetting my buff food all combined to make me feel woefully inadequate, as well as near worthless. And then add on that my last raiding experiences were during August as my Guild was working on 25m Hard Modes in ICC. And that I was a hunter, not a holy pally.
Performance anxiety, I has it. But we 1 shot Halfus, got Valiona and Theralion down and had one super awesome attempt on the council (2% or less). That's probably not as good as they usually do and by the Earthmother I will be better prepared.
I like this guild and their 2.5 hrs a night 2 nights a week (with a float day on Sunday) Schedule. I want to be the best damn player I can be for them. It's like they say, if it's worth doing, It's worth doing right.
Raiding, I wanna do it right.
