healing RFC

I logged on half-heartedly to EU WOW late this fine Sunday morning while waiting for my wife to wait and thought I'd have a final go at getting a group together for my priest's expedition into RFC.

To illustrate my mood at the time I've been regretting pouring time into EU WOW for a multitude of reasons. The "english" servers seem heavily populated by Scandanavian players speaking their own language(s). On a low population this server this causes some issues with getting groups, especially for lower level dungeons as most of the population is level 70 anyway.

I'm becoming keen to both play other MMPORGs. Warhammer Online looks especially interesting, although I'll probably do the same thing I did with AoC (that particular wait and see proved wise). EVE Online also intrigues me.

I'm very keen to do more away more things away from the computer as having both my work and free time spent in the same (cyber)space strikes me as unhealthy.

I log-in and see 3 other people looking for a RFC group. One is a warrior and another a mage. We form a group with another warrior and a paladin. (The Paladin later flaked out and we were joined just before Tar by a rogue). Now the 2nd warrior was fail, but not completely so. He just seemed to stand around for a long time before joining fights. The Tank and the mage were awesome. The mage's CC was excellent. The tank generated enough threat to keep ahead of the mage's dps. He chain-pulled well. The moment I got attacked he would taunt the offending mob onto him. All around awesome-sauce. I didn't believe PUGs could be this competent.

Jergosh dropped Robe of Evocation and I won the roll vs the mage, but while a nice upgrade the real prize was finding the proverbial diamonds in the dogshit of PUGing.
