I went to 10man Ulduar with Twelve tonight. We were just clearing up to the keepers for the leet hardmode group to finish off tomorrow. All good with me, I don't mind getting saved.. haven't even done 10man for weeks.

As soon as I accepted the invite I went to adjust my UI for raid & realised I hadn't tested it with a vehicle yet. o_o I've had problems with vehicle bars not showing up in the past. So I ran to Icecrown and jumped on one of the harpoon guns. Badness. No harpoon abilities on my bars. However the abilities worked when I pressed number keys.

So I flew over to Ulduar, thinking "oh god please put me on something easy". I'd driven all the vehicles, and had been a demolisher gunner in the past. So I know what abilities are there, it was just a matter of remembering which went to which key.. mostly I was just hoping I wouldn't have to do anything complicated like loading myself up to be shot to the boss or anything (which I've only done once before). Luckily I was given the very easy job of siege gunner, which is the only one I hadn't done before. It was easy enough to figure out where my abilities were with some experimentation.

We got Leviathan down after a couple of wipes (left some towers up). Then continued to Razorscale. It was here that I decided that I fucken hate Grid. I don't know if it was just the way I had it set up, but not being able to see my bubbles/renews/PoMs etc on peoples' bars was incredibly annoying, also those tiny little boxes? No thankyou. I switched back to HealBot after the fight.

Overall I was pretty disappointed with my heals. I just didn't get into that smooth healing zone, I was a bit all over the place and my cooldowns felt slightly off or something. Could either be the new UI, the brand new computer I'm using that I haven't raided on before, the fact that I haven't raided in a while, the fact that I was raiding with Twelve, or the cold I have that is making me feel like my head's stuffed with cotton wool - I don't know. :P In any case I need to stop watching heal metres when I'm disc. Or get that recount addon that shows disc contributions.

It was interesting, seeing the little differences between Twelve's strats and TF's strats. Some of the strategies we used were in order to go for achievements (of which I got a few :D). Kiting Kologarn's eyebeams was.. an experience (never did that with TF). lol :P Overall it was a pretty fun raid. :) Now I must go tweak my UI some more (i.e. get rid of Grid & replace it with Pitbull raidframes).
