#i probably look an absolute mess while healing hm apex

[vespertine-legacy]

Some fun moments from last night while progging Apex...

Vi, sometime around like... 4th pull: [surreptitiously drops legacy bank] rest of the raid: whatcha doin’ there, Vi? Vi: oh, nothin... just... you know... grabbing my gear... rest of the raid: VI???? me, who has healed Vi naked through two bosses without letting her die: pffft, gear just slows you down Vi: Right??? Pol (other healer): Doubt

On the pull where we tried having Frenzy also run for stims during voltinator “because Apex doesn’t move during voltinator anyway”

Ash: oh that’s not good (because Apex moved while Frenzy was out of position and started dropping acid puddles in Very Bad Spots) me: [throwing hots on Ash, Princess, Frenzy, and myself, popping a defensive and hydraulics, and running through the acid puddle to get back into position] it’s fine Ash and Princess: [go the long way to get back into position to avoid the acid puddles] Ash: oh no, oh no, oh no Princess’s HP: [plummeting] me: it’s fine

I don’t remember when this exchange happened but:

me: [with tears streaming down my face from too many pulls without blinking] can someone please remind me to blink at like, any point during this fight? because when it starts getting hairy, I don’t, and this fight is entirely too long for that Princess: OH MY GOD, SAME

Anyway, on our last pull, we got him down to like 25% and then the entire server lagged so hard that Apex just straight up froze for all of us but Frenzy for like 10 straight seconds, so Frenzy was just like “voltinator,” expecting us to, you know, do our jobs for voltinator, but no one could do anything, so Frenzy was like “um, voltinator,” with a little more feeling, but we still couldn’t do anything, and then he insta-killed us.

#swtor #november plays swtor #how none of us noticed that vi was not geared for that many pulls? #but also the off tank honestly doesn't really need gear during apex???? #i probably look an absolute mess while healing hm apex #tears and eventually snot seriously just STREAMING down my face #that fight is so damn long #and i can't take the time to blink #but pol and i are getting into a really good rhythm on the fight and getting to where we can keep everyone pretty well up the entire time #pol made a comment last night about me pulling better numbers than him on most of the pulls #and like... it was the first time i did #but i would dang sure hope i start pulling higher numbers than him #since he's having to run the flares #which makes him have down time on his heals #and i only have to run for stims once #(also blah blah i know numbers don't make the healer blah blah) #(but we're also progging hm mono) #(and i can't get a handle on the mechanics in there) #(so his effective numbers are about twice as high as my raw numbers) #(which hurts) #(both my feelings and the raid's ability to stay alive whoops)
