I got trounced tonight. We ran 8/9H Eternal Palace and I got my ass kicked by our other Monk.
He’s pretty much always been better than me at Windwalker. He plays more, does a more variety of content, spends more time preparing for boss fights, had his toon more optimized with gems and stuff, survives more, and just plays better. He’s one of our highest performance raiders and I’m one of our lowest. But to see his green bar so far ahead of my green bar from the beginning causes me physical pain.
I’ve not quite got a hang of this essence thing, I’ve become much more comfortable with Reverse Harm, so hopefully having it next week will help me catch up. My desire to raid, no… my ability to raid at the level I want to raid at is hanging by a thread. And that thread may be imaginary. There’s just too much the game requires now for me to keep up. We’ll see what the next week or two brings. Maybe it’s time to step down to full casual status and just focus on the site and my actual life outside the game.
I’m going away on vacation at the end of the month, I expect I’ll have a better sense by then.
