OMG How Hard Is It?!?!

Really, if it lights you on fire stay out of it.

If it gives you a lovely god-like buff get into it.

If it looks like the person next to you has eaten 14 day old shrimp and is projectile vomiting then move away!

Seriously, guildies, how hard is it to be where you are supposed to be when you are supposed to be there? And, if you can drop the evil-whatever-it-is by ice-blocking, cloaking, bubbling but you KNOW deep in your heart that it will kill the healer next to you....why do you do it?

Rotfacefesterfuck is a prime example (and yes, I know I've merged the two into one....it doesn't matter for this conversation) of being where you need to be and doing what you need to do when you need to do it....what's the term I'm looking for...oh yeah, raid awareness!

If 24 other lives (and your GM's sanity) depend on you either running in, running out, or staying put why not just do it and quit telling me that it was the tank-mom-healer-lag-dog-GF/BF-neighbor-imp that lives under you desk's fault? Grow a pair, own up if you failed and do better! Really, these new ICC bosses should be dead by now and we should be tormenting ourselves with the rest of the high end guilds on the Professor by now. After analyzing what happened it boils down to one simple thing (and no it's not gear) and that is raid awareness.

Raid awareness is why Yogg still lives and why we spend very little time beating out heads against the TOC 25 hard modes. Raid awareness is why we actually, and embarassingly, wiped on Anub 25 regular today. Raid awareness is what keeps me up nights, on my alts, and eating way too many Hot Tamales. I am, quite frankly, lacking faith. I need to see that the same people that can one-shot damn near anything when they puts their minds to it can all come in in the same frame of mind at least four nights a week. Hell, I'd settle for three nights a week on progression content and let you wipe your faces off screwing around on TOC if that's what it took (although, I'd probably bring an alt or find a reason to sit out for that).

The DPS is there. The heals are there. The tanks are there. Now we just need to figure out which pocket you left your raid awareness in....
