I gotta feeling…

… that tonight’s gonna be a good night.

Sometimes things just click together and no one knows why.

After the horrid wipe-fest that was Freya two weeks ago and the less bad but still disappointing week we had last week, this week has been amazing.

For the first time in 3 weeks, our battlegroup didn’t crash on a Tuesday night during our raid.

After spending the previous 2 weeks wiping on the same Keepers over and over again, we 1-shot every boss (minus Auriaya and a freak accident of the MT going down).

In about 4 hours or so, we cleared Flame Leviathan, XT, Kologarn, Auriaya, Hodir, Thorim, Freya, and got 2 tries in on Mimiron on Tuesday (SEE WHAT WE CAN DO WHEN YOU GIVE US OUR TUESDAYS BACK BLIZZARD?!).

Last night, we 2-shot Mimiron and proceeded to spend the rest of the night wiping on General Beeswax (high watermark of 20%). We downed General only this past Saturday on 10-man after neglecting Uld-10 for over a month (2-shot on our first day of getting to him woot!) so only 10 of us had seen the fight mechanics before.

I’ve got a good feeling about tonight.

From a healing perspective, I’ve been running strategies through my mind all morning and if I can get the same healers back in there tonight, I think I’ve got it worked out in my head. But we’ll see.

I can only cross my fingers and hope that range learns to not take unnecessary damage (L2 RUN FROM THE SKULL OMG).

And with all the fast boss downs of this week and essentially having our best night just this past Tuesday, the guild feels like it’s on an upswing again, while it felt like things were threatening to rip at the seams just 2 weeks ago. We’ve always described Catalyst as a social raiding guild but the behavior I’ve seen in the last month or so confirms we’re more of a raiding guild than a social guild (are we even social anymore?).

We wipe a lot = worst guild ever.
We kill lots of bosses = best place to be!

WTF?

my guild is so emo lulz

Somewhere down the line, our identity has slowly changed in the eyes of our members (which is where it really matters). I have no idea WTF the server thinks of us but I know that we’re no longer casual. Kind of stuck in that purgatory between casual and hardcore. And I’m not quite sure what to make of it just yet…

Oh, BTW, WTB DK and pally tanks! We are short on AOE tanks (i.e. we have 1 prot pally and no DK tanks). :(
