Re-rolling

It's been far too long since the last update. Exams kind of got in the way. A lot has happened since my last post.

I'm back on good terms with my guild leader and raiding regularly. DNS has been raiding in firelands since not long after patch 4.2 was released and has now (with the help of the recent nerf) cleared six out of the seven bosses that firelands has to offer and has them effectively on farm. Only Ragnaros seems to be causing a problem, and we've cracked most of the fight (It's a looong encounter).

I signed up to raid yesterday, but because of the volume of people wanting to join, I was forced to roll off against another guildie. A rogue called Listeta. Listeta rolled a 24. "Easy enough to beat" I think, and promply roll a 17.

After a brief mocking of my abysmal dice luck, the raid departs and I'm left to do bog standard dungeons for the next couple of hours with a couple of others who had been denied a raid spot (and do some skinning in the mean time). Dungeons go fairly abysmally. The random dungeon finder throws up some terrible people (and some of the more grueling dungeons to boot) and after a 2 and a half hour slog, I've only cleared 2, having abandonned 3 seemingly lost causes (and the deadmines. Lord, I hate that place).

Then, Paindk, the officer leading the raid, declares in guild chat that he needs a DPSer. "sign me up, bro", I reply. He promptly does so. To my initial dismay, instead of firelands, I am transported to an older raid, Obsidian Sanctum. Having cleared the first six bosses with no hinderance, the raid had decided to go to OS for a mount run. The boss goes down in 46 seconds and drops the mount. Which I lose with an even more dreadfull roll of 9.

Maybe my luck will change...
