The Queue: Where’s the Curve?
Oh, that’s right, it’s behind me!
I could finally line up with my raid team to get Ahead of the Curve for the Jailer. It turns out that having a job that isn’t the usual 9-5 can make it hard to make a raid sometimes! How rude!!
It also turns out that when you can get your whole raid through the first phase without anyone falling into a hole, or getting mind-controlled by the Jailer — it gets a lot easier to do the next two phases, who knew! Armed with this new knowledge I’m sure that we’ll be a Race to World First contender in no time.
While I start practicing my victory speech, it’s time for — The Queue.
The Queue: Surprise weekend!
Surprise weekend in that there were a ton of surprise announcements over the weekend, not possibly better surprise couple of days off work to go and relax.
Overwatch 2 gets a release date and they confirmed the Junker Queen. Which is a character that I’ve been hoping would be rad since they teased her back in the Junkrat video. Still holding out hope for our good friend Jetpack Cat though.
Diablo 4 also got that sweet Necromancer confirmation and some more details. When I played it back at BlizzCon 2019 it felt really solid. The Necromancer is probably the only class that could make me waver in my Druid choice though. I’m going have some tough decisions when it eventually comes out.
While I make a giant spreadsheet of pros and cons about Druids and Necromancers, it’s time for — The Queue.
The Queue: Summer vibes
I know that it’s not actually Summer yet, but I’ve gotta make sure that I’m ready to hit the beach at a moment’s notice!

The Queue: What sound does a large hammer make?
It’s a mystery for sure.
While I try and figure it out, it’s time for — The Queue.
Sepulcher of the First Ones will allow cross-realm Mythic raiding in patch 9.2.5

[Definitely remember to write something better than this block of placeholder text, maybe something about ducks? People seem to really like ducks]

Dunegorger Kraulok is back from the dead this week along with your chance at a cute alpaca mount
The Queue: Let us begin
I’ve finally got some Mythic kills under my belt this tier! Between real-life being busy, and not raiding on Mother’s day this was my first chance to get in with the team for the big show. Thankfully, we got Vigilant Guardian and Skolex down with little issue!
That worm hurts! I don’t feel like I’m a very squishy tank, but Skolex was chewing through my armor like a worm going through an apple.
After we cleared the two bosses that my guild had killed before, we had a little time for Dausegne progression. She must be able to see the future or something because man did she have our number. Although she couldn’t seem to see us cheesing her Staggering Barrage thankfully. Did you know that you can force it to choose someone if they’re the only one in the raid that doesn’t have the debuff from it? That meant that we could pile the whole raid into one, and then have someone with an immunity stay out to take the second. Creative!
While I work harder on not getting hit by too many mechanics at once, it’s time for — The Queue.
The Queue: Busy weekend
I had such a busy weekend in real-life that I need a second weekend to recover! (Please don’t send me to the Bad Place)
I feel like my poor Druid has been so neglected at this point that it’s probably covered in a bunch of spider webs and dust. Also when it stands up a swarm of bats has been nesting in its fur and they fly off into the night. Just classic cartoon nonsense y’know?
Of course, I am a Venthyr Druid so those bats might be unrelated…
While I try and win the lottery so I can have more peaceful weekends, it’s time for — The Queue
The Queue: Zug Zug
I hope that nobody throws a boot at this poor Peon. Everyone deserves to have a nice nap! Man, what a way to make a living.
Speaking of naps…
While I try and find a good comfy spot to snooze, it’s time for — The Queue!
