Pre Cata Blues

Well I stepped into ICC for the first time since March to help out our 25man team. And boy was I rusty on the first fight. Lady Deathwhisper. I’ve never done her on HM before. Although the fight is still pretty easy you need to concentrate more on the ghosts. Of course I died to them thinking I was far enough away. Survived HM LOLSHIP and HM Suarfang easy enough doing reasonable DPS as Surv with old gear.

Also survived HM Rotface and Festergut. Died during HM Council but survived HM Blood Queen. Came back the next day and had wipe fests on HM Dreamwalker. Missing a few key personnel and I had to take the job of a melee on the supressors as well as MDing the Aboms and worms.

What I saw though was a complete lack of interest from people being there. Low DPS (12k at top 6k at bottom (and no it wasn’t me but one of the regular raiders)). Stupid mistakes. We have been in there for nearly a year now and I think people are just getting burnt out.

I’ts sad to see. The 25 man raid team is lead by a great group of guys who always give 110% and they are let down by others who are just going through the motions wondering when raid time is over.  And hoping if we actually manage to down this boss what loot can I get.

I think alot of guilds are going through the same issues at the moment. How the hell do you keep people motivated until the expansion comes out especially when you still have HM LK to go?

Unfortunately I don’t think theres a good answer.
