Heroic Flop

We attempted our first heroic tonight. We went with Ramparts even though that isn't considered the easiest. We figured it was small enough it would be a good start. We appeared poised to have an interesting problem, especially for our little guild - we thought we'd have too many 70s on. Some folks would have to sit out. We had our pally tank, pally healer, my hunter, a new 70 hunter, and lock on. Our shadow priest, mage, and normal raiding hunter were all expected on as well. In fact, our hunter even said "start without me if you have to, but I'll be on around 9:00 and would love to participate." Well, we never saw any of them. Kind of disappointing considering we were trying our first attempt at a heroic. Well, it was a pretty strong failure. The 2 mobs nearest the entrance were pulled and the pally tank falls before the first mob. The pets are able to tank enough to let us finish it off. Then we do the solo pull of the pat on the bridge. Pally tank drops again. We do the pull around the corner and we lost 1 or 2 on that one. I believe all but 2 pulls resulted in a death on our side. Those guys hit amazingly hard, but we have to figure it out. There aren't tons of gear upgrades available to most of us now in normal instances, so the gear isn't getting tons better. We must learn to CC better, dps better, heal better ... basically do everything better if we expect to start running heroics with some regularity. I was very disappointed.

Since the heroic was a bust, I went out and fished up my
Weather-Beaten Journal. So that nifty new tracking menu on the minimap has Find Fish in it. I can spot schools of fish on the minimap like other resources.

At least the night wasn't a total waste.
