Thursday's Raid this week.

[Tal]

I was trying to think if there was something we could be doing better, and truthfully?  I don't think so.  I think we just had bad luck.

The first battle I kept my eye on my group and Darian's health (also for debuffs) and got conflagarated (is that even a word) to death. Second battle I was out of combat to be able to rez Darian. I did so but realized that with his death that Griz was killed almost immediately afters. So I switched to healing him with a combination of flash heals and full heals with the occassional cleanse to remove the general's conflagaration. But eventually the General seemed to get a mortal strike crit in and conflagarated Darian too fast for me to heal (in fact my lay of hands received a invalid target as he had JUST died). I then switched to trying to keep Kapowee and the other kiters alive. Unfortunately in trying to keep Kapowee in line of sight I ran RIGHT into the general's path and was conflagarated.

I think part of the problem on my end was that I did not have CTRaid installed so I couldn't see that Griz/Onan was in trouble to drop blessing of protection on you/him. I'll rectify that by getting it reinstalled and configured. Putting me in the main tank's group is also helpful as I would be able to use my mana pool to help keep Darian by healing Griz of any hits she may get. Its also easier to hit F3 (or whatever key is Griz's portrait) and Divine Intervention on her when Darian gets dropped when we're in the same group. Having a fire resist aura on the main tank also helps. :)

This brings me to a worry of mine. I've been wondering (once I build Shar's gold pool back up) if I shouldn't respec to holy/retribution rather than protection/retribution that she is now. With me bringing Shal up, Gnolack and Galreth being protection specc'd and the close relationship we have with CA and Darian it doesn't seem to make sense for Shar to also be protection specc'd. But that may be better suited for another thread but if anyone has anything they'd like to share about Shar's spec I'd be grateful. :)

So Monday night, we'll try it again.  If you are interested, reply specifically to this thread and we'll try to organize groups best we can.
