Test

Disregard this meaningless post I am just testing.... Oh and I started playing WoW again.... soooo... as soon as I get off my lazy bum I will start gibbering here again...

Riot

Ok... so here is the thing. If you do not read Ratshag then you are just missing out on so much that "wow-life" has to offer. That guy is pure genius. Stop reading my mediocre blog and go over there right now. If you think some of the gibberish I write is amusing, go... go now. He blows me away. I want to do "guest posts" like he does, but then Team Ratshag would "hire" a lawyer and take me down :)

Seriously, that guy cracks me up.

I mean come on, go look at this.... Crazy Post!

New Warlock Gear

Ok so here is my latest thoughtimofication......

Warlocks have "affliction" gear... Warlocks have "destruction" gear.... Where is the cool Master Demonology Gear. I would settle for a "Blue" of the Summoner set. Or a "Blue" Demonologist set. Something that gives my pet a bonus. Maybe give my felguard an armor of threat boost so he has a little staying power in a "raid" or "5 man" setting. I am not saying making him over-powered, he needs no more dps, just more staying power. This set would have no real effect on pvp/BG/Arena play as he would not hit harder, just stay longer and what person kills my pet while ignoring me?

Perhaps he could gain more of my stamina, he gets a buff from my armor like a feral druid/moonkin does from his. Maybe just a flat bonus that scales with level? Who knows... anyone have any thoughts on this. I know there are locks out there that stop by here every now and then as I have seen you :P

Still fishing...

I hit 201 last night. I am sadly losing a fishing race to some dirty tree as he was 341 when I logged off. I know I am going to lose unless he gets distracted or the winter season takes all his leaves and he is too modest to depart from his home. A man can hope, no?

I feel like I have to set myself up on a schedule. So many minutes to fish... so many minutes to farm primals for cloth every three days.... so many minutes to do dailies for gold and rep... so many minutes for random gibberish to my guildmates (have to keep them amused.) I think my guild rank should be trash talker or something.

Anyway, new link on the side there, fellow guildmate... if you stop by here, the few of you that do, pop over there and give him some encouragement :)

Creative Fishing...

For some strange reason I have it stuck in my head that in WotLK fishing is going to be a "needed" skill. I just "know" that the Tuskarr are going to view fishing as a kind of rep. I do not know why... but that is just the crazy way that my mind works.

I have some thoughts on how blizzard needs to improve the awe inspiring mindnumbingly painful chore that is leveling one's fishing....

Warlocks should be able to target a single fish in a lake and Curse that sucker. I am talking about putting a SoC on one of those little fish, standing back and watching the all float up and the skill point rise. How about letting an Engineer chuck a stick of dynamite in there and seeing a smaller similar effect?

Just some thoughts...

New Content

Well my guild was supposed to go into Kara last night to get some solid tries on Shade and Illhoof. However, we lacked our paladin tank and both of our locks were a no show. That is the bad news. No progress last night.

We decided that it was about time we had some good quality wipes in ZA. So that is what we did, ports were opened, we sprinted through IF and hopped on birds to EPL. Made the run and 1 hour after the decision we were buffed and pulling. We wiped twice on trash, those bears hurt you know. And we wiped quite a few times on the boss and his minions. All and all good times were had by all.

Healing in ZA is a beast. I am used to Kara healing. I know what I have to do, when I have to do it, and how hard something will or will not hit my tanks. I also am used to two certain tanks that I am always assigned too, and I know what they can take so I can decide fol spam or timed “big heals.”

In ZA last night we had two new tanks for me. They are more or less new to the guild, but their gear was not bad. Normally we would not try something like this, but we just wanted to see it and get a feel for it. The tanks were not “used” to us and were less geared than our tanks. They also were not really working together, although that is not really a fault, as I said they are new.

We had 4 solid attempts on the Bear boss and every time his cleave was our downfall. The tanks were not working together, that comes with time, and so the cleave was only hitting one of them. The bear boss cleaves one person… the one person is dead.

Fun though. New content is always fun…

Account Wide WoW content..

There are those of us in the WoW community that have multiple high level toons. These may be multiple 70s or maybe just lots of 40+. I myself have a lot of low level (20s) and 4 high level toons. I have two high level toons on both sides of the faction "fence". I have met people that have a lot more than me. They can probably relate to this particular issue more than I.

Rep Grind...

Having to rep grind the same rep that you recently just farmed on a different toon sucks. I think maybe blizzard some sort of compensation for multiple toons. Perhaps give us 50% rep of our "main" on all alts. I would rather have 100% rep of my "main" but 50% seems fair. How about a skill like fishing... I have 250 fishing at least on 3 different toons now.... That was painful. I am not sure why I did it, but I did...

I have heard, read, or dreamed that in WotLK that fishing may have an impact on the "walrus people" faction. I do not know if this is true, but I would rather have the skill now and not need it then get there and think... "Crap.. look at that cool stuff that I can not get now..."
