Why Has the Light Forsaken Me?

I don’t understand it.  I just don’t understand it.  Over the years, I’ve formed a connection with the priest class, coddling my girls, learning how the class was played, and then adapting when those rules changed.  I’ve studied, applied, practiced, and learned to love my class of preference.  My adoration of this class has gone far enough that I have over the years leveled some five priests to sixty and beyond.  On the Feathermoon US roleplaying server I have three priests alone, each with a different tree specialization so that I can further better understand the class.

And yet, I feel as if I haven’t done enough for the Light.

The Eye of Divinity: used with both The Eye of Shadow and the Splinter of Nordrassil to forge the Balance of Shadow and Light, the epic priest staff Benediction.1  I’ve long since called this my “white whale” since I have never managed to acquire this item.  In the time when Molten Core was end-game raiding, The Eye was promised to other priests within the raid.  When I was in a later raid, we never saw it drop.  And recently, my luck with rolls on this item has been nothing short of abysmal.

This evening I had the opportunity to return to Molten Core yet again in my quest to acquire The Eye.  We originally started out with two priests: myself and one other, a Shadow priest.  Within the hour and a half it took to down bosses and douse the appropriate runes, she had left and no other priest had filled her place.  I found out later that this was intentional, because the raid leader had learned of my plight and was eager to aid me in my quest to acquire my heart’s desire.

We battled Majordomo Executus and his cohorts, using all of the powers we possessed.  Afterward, we stood over their bodies and eagerly eyed the cache that Ragnaros’s minion had left behind in his harried flight.  And what, when we open the chest, do our eyes feast upon?

The Ancient Petrified Leaf.

Seriously.

It is always a shame when you lose the roll on an epic item but hey, whatcha gonna do? I lost many rolls which I had seen drop repeatedly. It is my unfortunate luck sometimes.

Grobblebobble.

Good luck on future raids. The patch shall be a new experience for us to dink around with in raids and such.

Can I have the leaf please?

…please?

No Leaf for you! >=O

Pike: Had you been there, it would have been yours! I believe that we had to force it on one of the two hunters who hadn’t gotten it before. Worse, the Mature Black Sinew dropped afterward during the Onyxia kill and our raid of nine didn’t include a single hunter.

Do some retro raiding and get that quest done! It’s a lot of fun and it used to be the sign of a damned fine hunter who could complete it solo — without his guild buffing him or clearing the mobs around the demons so that he could kite it without any problems. Being 70 makes it much easier, but I’d still consider it a hunter rite of passage!
