Amen! The ...<i>Wiping is part of learning new content</i><br /><br />Amen! The funny thing I've noticed is that—when you're actually <em>learning</em> a new fight, like, really seeing it for the first time, wiping is actually kind of <em>fun</em> in a perverse way. Oh, nobody likes to have to run back and repair and reset and rebuff and all that, but the sheer energy of facing a new encounter, and trying your best to keep balance when it all goes wrong—that's a blast! Some of our most fun moments in raid have come from failing miserably on encounters we had no idea how to tackle.<br /><br />Wiping is a lot <em>less</em> fun when you're trying to grind away at some "approved strategy" where everyone has to be in thus-and-such spot at such-and-such time, doing some well-known and well-understood thing. A wipe when you're doing that is just plain frustrating—you're not learning something new, you're just refining your dance steps. Sure, it's still nice to get better, but it's nothing like the excitement of real progression.<br /><br /><i>Stick to your true self, and do what you do best.</i><br /><br />That's the best advice! :)Larahttp://rootbranch.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296072451123411896.post-63649505421557567432010-07-23T13:54:17.147+02:002010-07-23T13:54:17.147+02:00And you hit the nail on the head...see I thank the...And you hit the nail on the head...see I thank the designers on my knees that they come up with those fights time and time again ;)Sweetcherriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03904742253394231819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296072451123411896.post-52870430981589903032010-07-23T13:51:30.451+02:002010-07-23T13:51:30.451+02:00Amen!

I catch on quickly to what I'm supposed to do, but I just can't commit to a solid block of time on a certain toon.<br /><br />But I admire those who do, and that don't give up after wipes that make you want to physically injure the designers that thought up those fights.Bloodshrikehttp://aboyandhisdeathrays.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
