war stories

although i was utterly ineffective in ab, there were some good moments in wsg...

once i actually ran the flag back and got a cap. man, being prot is actually kinda cool for pvp. generally i don't get to kill anything, but i can act as a tank of sorts... rushing in and wasting unsuspecting players' time as they try and whittle me down. improved shield bash is awesome cuz i can silence damn mages running around aoe'ing. 5s stun is also uber. oh and the rogues... i was really mean to one and popped shield wall, and then put up shield block and everything else... he was hitting me for 4-15. ^_^ but yeah, running the flag back and being able to take a beating is pretty awesome.

damn druids and wsg. they get to be uber flag carrying tanks if they want to or virtually snare immune cat rockets. plus heals, their own snares and moonfire. ok, so i threw in moonfire for no reason, but still.

another time we were on our last cap and i noticed no one was at our base, so i went and hid in the little cubby by the flag. sure enough, some pally came by to snatch the flag and my uber tanking skills delayed him for like a minute until finally a hunter showed up and we finished him off ftw. seriously though, staying alive for more than 5 seconds is awesome. my priest gets no such love. -_-

priest: (can_kill_target) ? (victoly : (fearWorked ? dieIn15seconds : dieIn5seconds))
warrior: (can_kill_target) ? ( victoly : (buddiesShowUpInAMinute ? victoly : doh))

yatta!!!

ahh the gulch... i return with one goal... stupid tokens...


i see my skillz have not improved...


but i strive for victory!


at long last, i have saved enuf! i require a new vehicle!


GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

1 AB && 11 WSG trinkets away...

jyaaaan!

well, so i wanted to add the labels list thingy to the side bar and to do that i needed to upgrade the template to the latest and greatest. in so doing the old changes to the blog template were lost, however i tried to put them back as best i could.

if anything's missing, go ahead and add it back or lemme know. you can look at the old template in the template tab i think.

in other news, i have enuf g for my mount! now i just need to pvp for some tokens. think ima get a red horse. gyohoho

Adventures in Outland

Yes ... the outlands are great fun. Just a few pics from the adventures ...

Yes ... I now have Nightfall AND Backlash which means 4% chance for an insta shadow bolt on a Drain Life or Corruption tick and a 25% chance insta shadow bolt on getting hit by the enemy. I had some great encounters against allies trying to killing me and having backlash and nightfall proc at the same time. This lead to a huge chain of insta cast nastiness: Conflagrate + Nightfall Shadow Bolt + Backlash Shadow Bolt + Shadowburn + Death Coil ... they never knew what hit em ...

Me GUSTA La Armería (Dame mas Armería)

Hola from Peru, and Muchos Grácias a Meef para keeping me updatado en los happenings. I would be going through la withdrawal de WoW right now, were it not for his frequent updates (and the abundance of Coca Tea in this beautiful country).

However, I'm disappointado to inform you that my attempts to stalk you all via the armory have been foiled by a massive language barrier:



Though I did at one point receive a "Cinco" in AP Spanish, that was a long time ago, and my vocab never included stuff like "Aguante" (Stamina) and "Escarcha" (Frost¿). I suppose I'll have to wait til I get back to properly check y'all out.

BTW, I'm about a half hour outside of Machu Piichu, and not only is the internet cafe I'm using to write this ALSO a Chifa (Chinese Restaurant), but they have Vista on every machine. Just weird.

my helm kicks your helm's ass

yepyep, got me a mining helm. it's uber.


check me... uhh pick these flowers... -_-


this was my final hfp quest! wooooo! so long stupid red boringness!!!



ralax, lemme know if ya need me to finish this one, basically same as killing those giants (except this one has a huge knockback). gyooohohoho! meef has now surpassed my priest!

bffffft

so last nite i made my first voyage to bf with meef... and tanked for the first time ^^;;


so yeah, things were going fine... until mutant jellyfish man... broggok is he? blegh. shoulda read up on the encounters more. first time we wiped on the last group of guys... restarted... then we got a group and 2 guys bugged out!!! we couldn't target them! it was utter crap. we figured it might have been because the shaman dropped his totems too close to the unopened gate... poop.

so we wipe a little more, the mage logs -- but to get his 67 priest! so now we're running with 2 shadow priests... and... we wipe again. -_- i woulda quit earlier except the perseverance of the group was refreshing. finally, on our second attempt with the higher lvl priest, we downed the bastard... and got a gun... poooo

well, thankfully after that cockblock we were able to finish the zone off


yay tanking trinkets!


in other news, wholy hell, look at the awesome buff you get *when you gather* dreamingglory!


so awesome. just gotta find more spawn points...

finally... gralax has an awesome hat.

newbers

>6k hp!!! now i just need to up all my other tanking stats. heh.

anyone want to run to the brd bar sometime? i want to turn in this damn quest. haha

Dreadsteed ... argh

This is a bit of a pain to get now ... but hopefully it will be easy if I get a little help here are the mats I need:

• 10 Elixirs of Shadow Power (J do you have the recipe? If not I'll buy it for you and the mats)
• 35 black dragon scales (Is one of us a skinner?)
• 6 Large Brilliant Shards (I'll take care of this)
• 25 Dark Iron Ore
• 3 Arcanite Bars
• Some time to do some instances and quests ...

Hoo boy this is gonna be a trip ...

wowemon

Re: Mysterious unhatched egg?

Detridinn: What am i suppose to do with this thing am i suppose to hatch it if so how if not and if its for a quest what one and also if its for cooking what do i need please help me!

Ningen: After you take 5000 steps with the egg in your backpack, it will hatch into a Togepi.

Detridinn: wtf ppl im serious what am i suppose to do

Raheven: Its actually a Netherdrake egg... These things are worth like 3000g on the AHs of some servers...

Ningen: Once you have Togepi, you just have to use it regularly in fights. Once it becomes content with its trainer, it will evolve into Togetic!

Congratulations on your new Pokemon!

Mom: Togetic sucks.

Ningen:
Your the kind of player who runs around with a Charizard and 4 Dragonites, right?

Go diaf you PokevPoke scrub.

Siebzehn, Säugling

Hit 70 on Sunday after some crazy questing, but I was too lazy to post until now. I also picked up my epic riding mount; I felt like the only level 70 without one, so I felt like I had to get one. Of course, now I'm the only lv 70 without a flying mount, so I'll be saving my pennies for that now... sigh.

I also did a total revamp of my UI and addons. Cut my memory usage down by almost half, and it looks pretty slick. I'll add some screenshots when I get home.

So... Meef and Dwight still both need a Ramparts run. You guys wanna set something up for tonight or maybe Sunday? I'll probably be massively hungover Sunday, so an instance 10 levels below me will be about my speed.

NOTE: Also I was bored at work so I put labels on the last 50 posts of our blog or so. Yeah...

Update?

Hey everyone, I haven't seen anyone online or anything and was just wondering how everyone's doing. I haven't played a whole lot, but I did get my epic 60 mount, (kodos ftw!) and am now a hair away from 63. I know Bendyr has been leveling like crazy and is probably already 70 or some crap now, but yeah, what's up, BBQ?

I'm back!

I know I've been absent for a while, but I'm back baby! Expect to see me online more often, usually in the evenings from 10pm - 1am.

I did some leveling this week and I'm up to 56 1/2 from 54! Hopefully I'll hit 57 by Monday.

In terms of my status:

• I switched up my talent build from an Affliction build to a Burst Damage Destruction build.
• My tailoring is at 297 ... so I'm very close to using all of Bendyr's spare netherweave. If you need anything let me know.
• My enchanting is a bit weak ... it's in the mid 270s ... so if you have spare items ... send em my way!

Man, it feels good to play again. Oh yeah, I'm also friendly with Argent Dawn AND the Furbolgs ... w00t!

We've Upgraded!

Thanks to our former captain, Julius, we have been able to upgrade! Blogger is out of Beta! Anyhoo, it seems like while I've managed to get the hang of avoiding Fel Reavers, the lovely Alliance has taken to flying around on their uber mounts then swooping down and ganking us Horde folk.

Also, I'm nearly 62 still without doing a full run of Ramparts. Frickin' PUGs... but the good news is that I'm almost ready to pick up my mount upgrade and all my greens are now on par with a lot of the old 60 blue gear. Whoop whoop!

On a side note, I'll be playing even less than I have been due to art school starting. Eh, so it goes.

zomg bc

zounds, it's like playing a whole new game. can't believe i'm lvling my priest again.

frikkin fel reavers... not the one that killed me today, but still...
soooo yeah, i made a blelf priest. name is nayuki
finnnnally got to frikking shattrath or however it's spelled. aldor for me i guess.
it's khadgar! (my priest in on the khadgar server) ... <_<>_> ^_^;
now if i can just buy one of these frikkin birds...

gads, i think ima need a vegathon this weekend so i can get meef up to speed. my priest is only 25% to 61 ><

tuesday!!!

bc is in the mail... should be here on tuesday at the latest! gyarrrr

BC Sweetness

So I was able to get a semi-PUG into the Hellfire Ramparts last night, and now I'm almost level 61!. The bad news is my PUG was unable to defeat the final boss (who has a ridiculous fire AOE that we were not prepared for. The good news is I got crazy XP, rep, and some nice gear. I picked up the Shadowrend Longblade (pictured right), which is a disgustingly sick upgrade for me. I'm now at over 900 AP, which is amazing. Unfortunately, I think I'm gonna have to respec combat, so my AP will take a small hit, but still, this is a niice sword for me.

I've almost replaced all my gear, through light questing and one HFR run. The only items left are my Gloves, Neck, Boots and Rings (and once I get into a group that can beat the last boss of HFR, I'll get some nice Blue replacement boots).

Questing is pretty brutal in the Outlands, with both Alliance and Horde camping every spawn mob and node in sight, but the instance is very nice, and not that hard (until the end).

It's cold out tonight...

Good luck to anyone who is currently out doing the pre-release event of the Burning Crusade. My lazy ass is waiting until after work tomorrow. For the BBQ!

Amusement

So battlegrounds are a fine way to entertain yourself while waiting for the patch, but you know what pastime I really enjoy? Vigilante justice.

Mojito was complaining about a level 50 Hunter corpse camper in Shimmering Flats on /guild, so I fired up my Gadgetzan Transporter to help out. On my way to Shimmering Flats , I ran into "Jollygood", the aforementioned camper heading back to Gadgetzan. I was able to kill him twice before he got in the walls of Gadgetzan, but once there, the guards' nets were stopping me from playing with him. So, I decided to try out some of my new Subtlety talents. Specifically, I found that "Improved Sap" and "Cloak of Shadows" allow you to Chain-Sap pretty much anyone you want. The Cloak of Shadows gives you a 90% chance to avoid flares.



Hehe... this kept me entertained for about 15 minutes, even after Mojito had to log off himself. At one point the Hunter was able to mount, but I just waited 'til he stopped at the mailbox and sapped him on his mount. Good, good stuff.

So- if you guys ever need some Alliance justice, just send up the Bend-signal. I'll be there.
