Meanwhile, in WoW Legion Beta, there's apparently a world boss named "Nidhogg" and a bonus objective thing called "The Brood of Nidhogg" or something like that (so I've heard; I'm not on the beta).
Just saying.

Ah, Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak, how I have not at all missed you.
Trying to level my Bard, and got in here. Fun fun.
Tanks that don't pick up all the mobs are fun.
Today I was that jerk DPS that takes enmity. The tank was ignoring all but one enemy per pull, so I stole enmity off the healer so he wouldn't die. Every pull. Bard tank best tank?
No, seriously, I hate Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak. It never goes well. Never. I have been in Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak many many many times. It never goes well.
While Brayflox is kind of the big jump in difficulty for healers, I think Toto-Rak is the same thing for tanks :|

Is The Vault always this bad for healers?
The Vault is torturous to me. I got it this morning as my leveling roulette (I really wish there was a separate roulette for Heavensward dungeons, because I like to queue into leveling roulette to help newbies...).
Oh my goodness is it awful. I can't tell if I'm just not a good healer, or if I'm not getting good groups, or if it's bad luck, or maybe Astrologians are bad in the dungeon? I don't know: all I know is that something always goes horribly wrong every single time I do this one.
Take this morning's run, for example.
Ser Adelphel:
1st Wipe: I get boxed in by the exploding bubbles + I have the ground AoE under me. I die, everyone dies.
2nd Wipe: We were doing absolutely wonderfully, and then the tank gets disconnected.
3rd time, we cleared it.
Ser Grinnaux:
No wipes, but a couple deaths and overall trouble. I remember when I went in here the first time I thought this fight was very easy and rather inconsequential. Not this time. I think it was a combination of not-high-enough DPS and unfortunate tank positioning. We ended up having barely any safe areas left from portals, and the boss was kind of positioned at a weird angle, so personally, I always got knocked back in a direction I wasn't expecting, typically straight into a portal. I think I ended up with like 5 stacks of the debuff by the end? While the first time I did this fight I had none by the end. Lost a DPS twice I think to a similar issue.
Ser Charibert:
1 wipe. Absolutely my fault. My computer decided it wanted to open the chat box instead of move, so I ended up getting hit by a triple combination of the ground AoE, horses, and the chain thing.
Beat it the second time, barely.
First time I did the dungeon we wiped on Ser Charibert about 3 times I think.
As a more positive, I witnessed a miracle yesterday in The Aery. Last night I was doing roulette trying to get to level 57, and I was put in as a fill-in healer for a friendly group in The Aery. They were on Nidhogg, with 18 minutes or so remaining. We wiped a couple times. Mostly due to Sable Price.
Last try, very few minutes remaining. The two DPS die to something or other. I get caught in Sable Price. Only the tank remaining. Tank is on a tiny sliver of HP. I warp back to the start because I knew the tank was about to die. And, nope! Somehow, SOMEHOW the tank managed to kill Nidhogg with only a sliver of HP left. It was a miracle.
As a side note, the more I go into dungeons with Bards, the more I want to play a Bard. Their animations are so nice :x

I am extremely proud of myself right now
Last time I played FFXIV, I got nervous about fighting Ravana and quit playing for a month or two.
I came back yesterday and brushed up on my healing a bit, and today I just beat Ravana!
The fight went decently, I think. We wiped once. I think that one was partly my fault. I didn't realize I was the one with the purple circle around me so I was trying to run away from it, and...well, I was the one with the circle and it got me and someone else killed! So, that was one healer down, and then the tank fell off the cliff, and, yeah.
Second time around went fine. We had a couple deaths, but nothing that couldn't be revived, except for two people, who fell off the cliff early on.
Not only did I beat Ravana, but I also just did Sohm Al as well! Got to say, I really, really liked Sohm Al. It wasn't too healing intensive, which was rather nice. The last fight was fun running around. The second fight got a little rough at one point because I was targeted with every single one of the attacks where he slows the slimes, but I managed to heal myself up between each one, so it was okay. The first fight was absolutely trivial. The trash before it was harder. Fun fights.
I'm feeling really good right now, since I have never done real content while it's still rather current before. I mean, in WoW I'm level 100 but I've never done any dungeons or anything. It's nice to be doing dungeons in a game I'm comfortable with (as in, FFXIV). I can't see myself getting a static and doing Alexander or anything just yet, but dungeons are nice.

I love my FFXIV character so much
I can't help it but take screenshots of her all the time! I think she came out so well! I just wish she looked okay in other hairstyles besides this one, because currently she looks pretty awful in any other ones.

So, I got Overwatch
I'm too scared to really play, so I'm just doing the practice vs. AI thing.
Just out of curiosity, is there any difference between Practice vs. AI and Play vs. AI? I thought I had read that Practice vs. AI had you on a team with AI too, but these are definitely real people I'm playing with unless they have really, really good, unheard of AI that can mimic human conversation perfectly in voice chat.
Anyway, I'm really attached to Lucio's play style. It's fun. I like Hanzo a bit too. I really, really wanted to like Mercy and Widowmaker, but I just don't think they're for me. I'll probably give Mercy another shot though; I like support. I also want to learn a tank so someone else can play support if they want. I'm leaning towards D.Va, but I don't know. I don't really like the tanks. None of the offense characters appeal to me at all. Symmetra is interesting, but I don't feel competent with her.
Sooo, I guess for now I'll just stick with Lucio and Hanzo.
If you play with someone named Cardboard then that's probably me!
Wait, it's 12:30?! I thought my clock said 11:30! Whoops! Off to sleep with me!
