Well I finally hit 375 tailoring last night. No surprise there. I managed to talk enough spiders into coughing up their silk to get my Shadoweave set as well. I have new sexy gems and feel good. I have a ways to go to include some chants on my new threads, but I feel good. Zero chants right now and I am sitting at just over 9100 hp, 8000 mana, and just under 900 shadow damage. Spell hit is only at 53, but I really have no Kara gear, so that will come as I improve.
I should be happy. At least very least I should be content. Nope. I just changed gears and now need to farm for 8 Primal Mights and hook up with a Blacksmith for Runed Eternium Blade. After that there are some BoP tailor patterns that I would like to have. I still need lots of rep. Bah… never ending story.
Not to mention that fact that I try to stay active in two guilds on two different servers with two different factions, on multiple toons? Is this a job? Feels like it. Oh well… I must love me some Warcraft, because I do not mind and I keep pouring myself into the game. I am not an “addict” if you will, as I make it a point to give my family my share of the time. I am a good husband, and a good father, at least I try my best to be.

Purples
I recently had my Warlock pick up tailoring for the 3rd time. I am sitting at 373 right now and should be able to finish it up tonight as long as those dirty spiders drop me about 4 - 6 more of their silk. I have AH farmed recently and as soon as I hit 375 will have my Shadoweave Set.
I have noticed this about my lock though as he climbed from 60 - 70 a little under a year ago. I never found a purple yet that I said, I must have it now, no doubt, this is a vast improvement. There were quite a few times where only becuase it was purple did I equip it. Perhaps I just look at my gear in a wierd manner, but there were times when I still think the green or blue that I got rid of was better than the purple I currently wear.
I remember a day around level 66 where I had almost 14000 hp, when I rocked eagle, stamina, and sorcerer gear. I can remember a time when my lock had over 1000 spell dmg. But somehow when my lock hit 70 all that changed. Right now I am about 9100 hp, 680 spell dmg, and lots of other "bells & whistles." I know I hit harder now, and I get far less "misses", but I still feel cheated at times. I want my "paper doll" to show an improvement. I want it to show my shadow dmg, not just my spell dmg. Perhaps if my spell hit and crit % were in a larger font and bold it would make me feel better...
Maybe I am just to hard to please... :)

Guilds
I apologize in advance this is a bah! what if post...
I want more guild options. For those of you that have been here before you are probably aware that I play both factions. I try and play them both on a rotational basis and for the most part my respective guilds are aware of this habit and happy with it. There are members of each guild that have even made a "gopher" toon to come look for me if they really need me, although that has rarely happened.
On alliance I am in a Kara guild. We have only been a guild maybe two - three months and we are making good progress. As of yet our only real hurdle is Moroes. When he goes down we can take it all the way to Shade. Shade will fall soon, if he did not already do so this week (Horde time). I am not sure but Moroes just does not like us lol. The best we have ever done was with 1 priest, and my healdin as the only healers. We had a feral druid that needed to combat res the priest, but we rocked.
On Horde I am in a casual guild. We have a couple of guilds that we fill in for, but for the most part we just enjoy the game at a relaxed pace. Lots of alts and lowbies.
Here is my problem. I like both styles of guild. I like the lack of pressure from horde side to always be ready to raid, or 5 man heroic. Being a healdin with decent gear gets me a lot of requests. I like the cool exp of new content and downing bosses too.
I want a way to be a member of multiple guilds at the same time. I am not sure how this would work, but I want it too none-the-less. Out of all my toons my lock is my favorite. However, he is still just shy of honored with Kara and is currently not raiding. I do not want to, and will not, leave my Horde guild, as I have a lot of friends there, but I do miss raiding with him.
Not sure what this post was other than a rant, but I have heard that a burden shared takes a load off.... so.. yea... I shared :)

Aspect of the Hare

Is that not so cool? I want her to do one for my lock, maybe my orc hunter... heck.... I want her to do one for all of my little toons. I need to find out if she has a fee and if she is willing. If you would like to check out her blog, link is on sidebar.
Totem
Ok... so here is the deal. I have been working on my healadin a lot lately. He has himself some pretty decent gear. He is just under 1300 bonus healing, about 190 mana regen, and a litte over 10k mana. Once I farm some more primal lifes I can even boost that by another almost 100 healing with two enchants. Not bad.. getting there...
Here is the thing... Totem... You heard me Totem. There is this quest in SMV that has you running around dropping this totem trying to capture spirits. Well... I kept the totem :) He has now become the running joke in the guild. He is the guild tank... He is the raid healer... He is main dps.... He is in essence a guild mascot. I start every battle with totem. Tank pulls, totem comes out, flash of light spam begins. Totem. Some guildies talk trash to him... they have completed the quest line and are now out of luck... Some guildies love him, pat him.... Some guildies have gone out of there way to get thier own "totem", no matter what it is, just something extra to bring out.

Too Long
Been a busy last couple of months for me, with family, work, and the holidays. I have not had much time on my hands for any posting, but things have calmed down now. If we can have no more interruptions then I can get back to my daily posting...
Winter Veil and the News Years events, read population.., were killing me lately. My latency was so bad at some points that when running around shat it was more like a slide show than a game. Not to mention Titan Panel has been letting me down. I think there must have been a minor "patch" recently as now my titan errors out too much to be usefull and crashes the game. I can not prove that it is in fact titan, but I know that I would turn it off after I got my titan error and it would work fine.... turn titan back on... crash... several times... uggg.....

On the road...
An update. I have had a few of you track me down and ask where I have been. Sorry to any that read my hermit ramblings, but I have been on the road, a last minute TDY trip and will be home soon.
I think I blew the jackals deal, oh well... I was there in spirit. I will post more as time warrants, take care all.
