Sunday was a casual stroll through the first four bosses (maybe only one shots for the first time?), then one wipe on Ky’veza and an Ovi’nax rekill on the 6th pull.

Tuesday had us wipe on the Silken Court all night, 13 times to be exact. Best try 21%. It’s hard, but doesn’t feel as terrible as Ovi’nax did.

I’ve been slowly working on some alts via Timewalking and, to no one’s surprise, scaling is ultra-broken. If you have a 70 in not-terrible but at-launch 370ish gear you will simply be destroyed by the bosses whereas a 3x or 1x tank will hardly notice any hits.

Sunday saw us breeze through boss 1-4, then 3 wipes on Ky’veza, and on to Ovi’nax (again). Five wipes with 21% being the best try of the night.

Tuesday had us down one healer and getting a replacement (our top DPS…), 4 healers, 2 tanks, 7 DPS is a weird combo but Ovi’nax died on the fifth pull of the night. 50 wipes, 1 kill – for boss 5 or 6 out of 8 – yikes.

We continued on to the Silken court and wiped ten times, but already got to stage 3 a couple times, best try at 16% – not bad!

Unfortunately that one week I did M+ wasn’t continuing, also due to lack of time. My Warrior is at iLvl 617 now and there are not many upgrades from the Heroic raid, hardly any good ones at all.

But I already have 3 Horde chars at 80, and two more at 7x, maybe this week I’ll have some time for Timewalking and other leveling things again. Only class missing at 80 is the Evoker now (ugh) and I have two Warriors, and missing an Alliance Mage.

Oh wow, progress!

Sunday had us kill Ky’veza on the third pull already, so that was five bosses on one night, and two wipes on Ovi’nax.

Tuesday was just Ovi’nax wipes, 12 to be exact, with 8% and 14% being the most promising. I think we’re close to 40 wipes on total already, not our greatest strength it seems.

Week 7 saw us go Heroic only for the first time, 4th pull on Rasha’nan and a couple of tries on Ovi’nax. Tuesday we went into the Timewalking Raid and ran out of time for the last boss, so everyone had to catch up solo in LFR for the achievement.

Week 8 was four oneshots and then 16 wipes on Ovi’nax.

In Week 9 we decided to change to Nexus Princess and on the 20th pull it worked. 5/8 Heroic now.

I took advantage of the Timewalking dungeons and got a Disc Priest and Brewmaster Monk from 70 to 80, a Prot Warr from 74 to 78 and a Prot Paladin from 70 to 75. So that’s only the Evoker missing now for all classes to 80. (and then also a second Paladin and Warrior…)

Week 5 wasn’t great. OK, Sunday we cleared Normal and then Ulgrax on Heroic but my damage was abysmal. On Tuesday we killed Boss 2 (4 wipes) and 3 (1 wipe) but wiped on number 4 for another 5 times, best was 24% and overall it just wasn’t great.

Then the big patch came and everyone was annoyed about respecs and stuff. And I stopped the Rogue experiment and switched back to Fury Warrior.

The next Sunday was better, we used the skip on normal (so 4 bosses, but we did Nexus-Princess extra for a trinket), wiped on the Court twice as is tradition, then oneshot Ulgrax and Horror on 3rd try.
Today we got Sikran on 3rd try, Rasha’nan for the first time on 8th try and then 4 not great tries on Ovi’nax. But it’s progress nevertheless, and a 2nd Heroic slot from raiding in the Great Vault… but 4 T8 Delves are still better, which is weird.

No M+ again.

Sunday didn’t work out too great, only got 6 down on Normal, then wiped for a bit on Silken Court. Tuesday was a lot better, oneshot Silken Court, then Ansurek on 2nd pull. Oneshot Hc Ulgrax, then Horror on 3rd pull that night (13th overall), Sikran on 2nd pull (overall), then a couple tries on Rasha’nan.

I keep dying and I’m not happy playing Rogue. Today I continued passing on all drops and will probably switch to Warrior next week, with a clear conscience of not having grabbed stuff off of people.

Overall I played a lot less this week, barely got my last Delves in on Tuesday evening after the raid.

No big news, Sunday was a bit weird, damage seemed way up, but we had 17 in raid instead of 13 so timings felt weird, maybe a scaling issue. Killed 7 bosses despite 3 people on their first raid. On Tuesday, down to 14 again – Queen felt very easy, then one wipe on Ulgrax and 10 wipes on Terror. That one seems kinda hard, so no new boss this week. My damage seems to be improving, slowly and on some tries, but I’m still not happy – the add phase on Terror feels horrible.

The Delves weekly plus event was a bit of a chore this week, I did 22 T8 Delves on 6 chars, and 3 T5 and 8 T1, so 7 chars in total will get something in the Great Vault from this.
