Will I ever learn ?

I caught myself doing this again a few days ago, and I though “when will I learn ?”

I’m farming eternals in WG, walking between the elite mobs with guaranteed drops of crystallised, 2 normal mobs, one left, one right….I take a second to judge the gap, try to stand exactly in the middle, so I wont agro either…..start attacking the elite, and suddenly….BOTH normals agro to me because in my desire to “save time” by not having to kill either of them, I’ve misjudged the distance and pulled both, AND of course the elite that just got a fireball in the face !
Of course now I have to kill 2 normals and an elite, which is doable of course, but takes a while….

It would be quicker to just take out one normal first, clear a path to the elite I actually need !

I know this….yet I do it anyway !

Similar things happen when I’m on my alts who can either herb or mine….I go for a node knowing there’s a mob close that I might agro, but instead of killing it first, I get 0.5s from finishing the gathering, and THEN it attacks me, which of course means I need to kill it first, then start the gather all over again !

Will I ever learn ?

Finally in the present

Well, if anyone is still reading at this point, we’re almost up to date with where I am today. almost 10 weeks on I’m still enjoying raiding with my guild, we’re making good progress into Ulduar andI’ve been present at a good number of first kills, and one of my real life friends is currently on trial with us too, which is even better.

From now on, I’m going to stop writing about the past, and join the rest of the bloggers and talk about current experiences, and my opinion on WoW issues, rather than just write diary style on my history

Is also ends the pre-written posts I had prepared before I started the blog, so now is the real test of how I will get on…wish me luck …
