Sometimes I wish that I could go back to Pre-BC with the knowledge I have now about my class. I was very lucky in many senses of the word. I got into a guild that started raiding about when I hit 60, made up of mostly people who had never raided before, and as such we all learned together what raiding was about. But still, when I look back on those times, as much fun as they were, it still pains me to remember how little of a clue about my class I had.
In fact it wasn’t until Gruul that I was even aware of the concept of a shot rotation and clipping auto shots. The improvement to my dps just from knowing that, not even studying shot rotations or spamming macros improved my dps by crazy amounts. To have had that knowledge in MC…well it wouldn’t have given us more time, (Four months after we started ZG, BC came out.) but perhaps we would’ve gotten a little farther.
I was lucky to get in on a guild like this at the ground floor, and support it all the way to Illidan like I’ve been able to. Of course there are very few people from the original guild anymore, but it still feels just as friendly as it did back then. And I’m glad I’ve learned as much as I have, though this is in no way the end.
