They just don't feel right."<br /><br />Interesting, I greatly enjoyed them initially. Maybe it's gotten worse?<br /><br />And I'm speaking as someone who healed Challenge Modes at like 613 ilvl with my main spec being Shadow (was BRUTAL on some fights but still fun for me). Heroics were never an issue past like 600 ilvl.<br /><br />"LFR is pretty boring. So if I want to stick with WoW, I'll have to apply to and join a raid guild. Yet I'm not sure I want to do that again."<br /><br />Well, I run a normal clear of Highmaul at 9 PM CST on Wednesday nights that you could go to if you want. Do well enough and you might be able to convince me to let you come on our raid's heroic gear on Sunday night at 7:30 CST before we start Mythic progression (though obviously you wouldn't get gear over our main raiders, but there's some stuff going to waste).Balkothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12425374556730828853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-45135440591770748692015-01-02T18:52:43.648-08:002015-01-02T18:52:43.648-08:00If you don't enjoy healing in WoW, perhaps con...If you don't enjoy healing in WoW, perhaps consider switching to Ret fulltime? I don't have data, but it seems like the ratio of healers to DPS is at an all-time high.<br /><br />In any case, I hope you do start another blog. My favorite posts of yours were always the ones that had applicability to more than the fairly narrow subject of virtual worlds.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11034188152893251734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-20221918998627610352015-01-02T10:15:34.552-08:002015-01-02T10:15:34.552-08:00Openraid is a pretty good half-way house between P...Openraid is a pretty good half-way house between PuGs and a formal raid guild/comm.<br /><br />In the 6 months I've been raiding around there, I've only encountered one or two irritating people. There's lots of content variety too (not just the current raid tier) with heroics, challenge modes, old raids etc.<br /><br />Maybe you should give it a shot - I liked it a lot more than I was expecting :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-67980123927764525092015-01-02T01:05:09.730-08:002015-01-02T01:05:09.730-08:00You don't have to join a raiding guild.
