Love is in the air!

Lovely holiday! Hearts over everyones head as you ride your turtle through Orgimmar. Ok maybe I just do that, mocking people on my turtle. THIS YEAR they added two new acheivements and give you a little taste for some goblin love.

You can see a few of the goblin models when you turn into them but you can stop to dance or any of that jazz cause it just keeps you trucking along with an auto run. It still felt pretty cool to be a tiny goblin which makes me even more excited for the next expansion. I was pretty I think!

The pretty much added in a boss like with brewfest but this time it’s hanging out in shadowfang keep. [Tough love] and [Dangerous Love] are the two new achievements. By killing the boss you have a chance to get [Big Love Rocket] Of course with a very low drop rate. This is totally not an innuendo….

I tend to be lucky with WoW related things. I have a turtle and I won a free bag from mtn dew when they had their game fuel thing so I might just get it! :D We’ll see. Good luck to feeling the love!

From Healer to DPS

It’s hard to stop caring about everyone else in your raid. I’ll be the first to assist on killing a blood beast when it’s asked on vent. Even if I’m having to run across the room. I’m trying to break myself of it. No, it’s not productive for the DPS to be running around the room and not well, DPSing.
So, in 10-mans where I am not chasing things around, I’m #1, sometimes I’m #2 if the hunter isn’t shooting random shit here and there.

However, friends still calling me the scrubby rogue, or the shitty rogue. They are teasing, but seriously- c’mon. 2 weeks actually raiding and I’m beating everyone else. Cut it out, jerks.

I’m still trying to get into the mindset of a shitty DPSer. Ya know, where they just kill stuff and don’t give a shit what everyone else is doing. lol.

I die a lot. They made a comment in raid, and Dre (our now 3rd tank, DK) was there on his old rogue. (Which everyone glorifies for some reason.) So I said on vent, “Oh c’mon, You know how many times I rez’d Dre?!” Dre laughed. I used to rez him all the time in Uldaur!! He was dead every other pull! That guy had to have insane repair bills.

Speaking of repair bills, apparently I’m not “technically raiding” even though I’ve been there. So I don’t get guild repairs. Well was I the only healer that gave a crap about the dpsers? Cuz I die a lot. And it will be stupid shit I am dieing to. I’ll have 20% hp for a minute!! So I’m paying my own repairs, I wouldn’t complain if I wasn’t spending 200g a night!

Ugh.

Rogue’n it up

So, how am I doing as a rogue? Pretty damn good- I’d like to think. I’ve learned I must dual spec. First I tried combat, but really- I hate dealing with my spreadsheet and if I have enough armor pen. One piece of gear change and it will tell me to gem AP. Umm… No. I spent 500g on the Arm Pen gems in only HALF of my gear, I’m not changing it all out again then back next week.

So I went Mutilation. Let me tell you- bigger numbers with mutilate. I still had to regem all my stuff, but at least this way one piece of gear and my gems wont effect my dps that much.

So back to dual spec, last night I discovered that I need to have combat for fights like… Valithria Dreamwalker. There is just too many mobs, dieing too fast for me to rev up my mutilate damage. So… KILLING SPREE!! RAWR. Towards the end of the fight I started popping up to the top 10, it was better than last.

Anyways, sometimes I’m top 8, sometimes… I’m 12th. The one on the left is from VoA, the one on the right is from the Valithria fight, both as mutilate. Lol, pally tank beating me. /cry I had to change it. So during break I ran to org with a portal from my lovely blood elf mage buddy, Ferrishyn, and dual speced asap.

So, I’m still learning- but I’m getting there! My gear is getting pretty fricking SICK!!! Check me out in the side bar. —–>

(or here)

And…

I got raped by princes. It was a fun event. We did down them though. I think they were tweeked to hard. Like patch day, Saurfang was on hard mode. So maybe they were too. (btw we downed him on hard. :) )

Ridiculous loot dumpstering.

So I went into 25 ICC for the first time in two weeks. :) ON MY ROGUE! So I got stuff! LOTS OF STUFF. OMG it was ridiculous. I’m the only rogue- so, leather is mines. lol.

Cultists Bloodsoaked Spaulders
Ikfirus’s Sack of Wonder
Toskk’s Maximized Wristguards
Frostbitten Fur Boots
Rib Spreader

and I got my badge trinket: Herkuml War Token.

Also tonight on 25, Saurfang was stuck on Heroic. Apparently we were one of the few to get past him tonight. lol. Too bad he didnt drop heroic loot!

Getting there! :D

I got to go to 10-man ICC last night. Yes, even with my green trinket and blue boots. lol. I went with my normal run’s alts. We wiped on rotface a lot, but we got festergut down! And I got the Gutbuster! No more untz untzin with my axes. :\

Also! I was pleasantly surprised that I was In the top three DPS slots on attempts. Sometimes #1, sometimes #3. And that’s against a mage and another rogue. :D Oh man, I cannot wait till I have more gear.

I totally loved it. Not having to watch people’s hp. Just getting to wail on a boss. Well on Saurfang I had to help the lock down the blood beast, KIDNEY SHOT! So my deeps was pretty low on that, as I’d have to pause and chase a beast. lol.

But it was hella fun! And I love being able to see the traps. However, they don’t appear so easily. Sometimes they aren’t there, then BAM you turn around and it spawned. We got called the worst rogues ever for not finding traps. I laughed.

However, ipinch should gimme his tricks midfight. >.>

Oh.. and here’s some lumberjacks.

YAY axes!

So, I was sitting around afking mostly last night during raid time. Why? Because I am not invited to ICC 25, till I feel my DPS is competitive enough. Anyways- I’m chilling while making dinner. They decide they don’t have the DPS for their remaining attempts on Blood Queen and wanna go work on ToC and Togc Anu’arak. And asked if anyone wanted to come fill slots. I bite.

So I get to go in, no one needs anything of course- lol. So I got two axes and a necklace! :D Hellscream Slicer and Blood Fury. So now I’m all raving rogue! UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ!!

I also got two trophies so my gloves are t9 and 1/2! And then my shoulders will be as well. :D I’m up to 4k deeps in 5-mans too! :D YAY ME!!

ALSO!!! I finally got my trinket from Heroic Forge of Souls. :D LEETSAUCE. Now to go farm toc for that trinket and all I need is some boots before I’m all purpley.

Class shift…

So as people have read- I burnt out on my druid. I burnt out on healing.

I read an article recently from the Official WoW magazine about how healers aren’t the same kind of gamers as the rest of the raid. They’re “meta gamers”. Basically it said- healers play the game to watch a grid of boxes and don’t pay so much attention to everything else.

This I believe, many healers don’t even read boss strats. We really don’t need to know every little function the boss does like say- the tank. Healers don’t get to see the whole fight, they sit behind their grid clicking boxes- mostly.

Well I’m not a meta-gamer. I can play one for a long time, and I have for… five years now on and off.

I started this game as a healer. I have little stints here and there where I play a DPS but mostly, I’ve been a healer. However, I don’t like doing it as much anymore. I don’t get that much satisfaction from watching colored boxes all night.

I’ve played a warlock in vanilla wow, when I first got bored with healing, and then a hunter for pvping. In BC I made my ret paladin- and he’s way to sexy for his own pants, while raiding BT on my Priest. When Wrath came out, the sexy stud ended up my first 80 because I couldn’t stand leveling my priest. So he saw Naxx first, but of course- I went back to healing on my priest and druid because it’s what’s needed. I mostly do it to see content. Maybe I don’t even enjoy it, but I do it because it’s needed. And as my GM said- you can’t enjoy the game that way. Play what makes you happy.

Well now I’m on my rogue- and I absolutely love it. I’m not so much a meta-gamer anymore. I get to experience the fight. Run from whirlwinds, get out of boss cleaves, don’t stand in boss piss. All those things that make a raid encounter- a raid encounter.

So… I’m gearing up. And this blog will likely have A LOT more rogue- and a lot less druid.

This made me lulz:

Chillax yo.

Okay, so I went on anti-depressants for a couple reasons. And since then- pugs are totally tolerable. And I haven’t yelled at my computer screen in half a week! WOW! Infact, my new line is ” S’okay. :) ” and “Hey that’s not nice.“

I’ve noticed, a lot of people on WoW are totally wound up tight too. Like, there is no reason to yell at PuGs for shooting the wrong mob. Seriously. Just say, “Hey kill this instead.”

We had this tank today that was just CAP LOCKS friendly and wanted to call Effin morons and stuff. Really?

All in all, zoloft and playing a DPS class have made the game fun for me again and not so stressful. :P

ALSO… I drew my rogue- He’s hella sexy. MMMMN trolls. Course I’m not done yet, but I wanted to share what I have so far.

LOL!

I’m ignoring Matt Damon.

Lol I checked my ignore list and found that. XD

Icecrown quests…

So I have never really done ALL of Icecrown Quests. I’ve probably only done about 60% of them. I usually leave after I get 80. One reason being- I really hate quests.

Well I’m leveling a rogue, he’s 79 atm, and I plan on him being 80 today. Why am I leveling a rogue? Because I’m burnt out on healing and tired of healing meters being jerks. Also, I’m on a much needed break from raid after having a meltdown over it. :P

So I’m questing on my rogue and actually doing some stuff I haven’t seen yet. Like the one with the creepy ghost boy who sends you to fight illidan with Arthas and gives you rewards that aren’t super great. Yeah that one.

I also found a HILARIOUS quest chain that I was just giggling about all night.

So he wants me to get a disguise. Apparently this hat is all I need to fool the Acolytes. :D So then I must find Fordring. Where the eff is he? I fly all over trying to find him, he’s a hard dude to find! And he doesn’t have any kind of marker on the map either. Why can’t I find him?
Well wtf, no one told me I needed the robe and shoulders too! Wtf guys. Now I’m the looser who doesn’t fit in!! Fine whatever, I’ll just go along with the plan. So far- no one has noticed me.

So we walk in to go and try and eaves drop on whats going on up in har. Of course… we don’t really fit in. Everyone else is sitting. Here we are standing. C’mon Fordring.

Well apparently all the Acolytes are really stupid. They don’t catch on. What’s even more amusing to me, is the fact I’m the only troll in the building wearing a freaking HORDE TABARD. Nope, evil Acolytes still don’t catch on. They are too busy being evil… and idiots.

-No way dude, it’s not gang related, I just like the colors.
-Oh. I see. Yeah, word to yo modda.

So we listen to the evil sermon of evil, and then who shows up?! OMG it’s ARTHAS!

He is not so easily fooled.

And then some little Fordring-Arthas lovefest babble goes on and sexy Koltira Deathweaver (yes I have a thing for this dead guy) and his buddies show up to help us escape whiel Arthas just stands there and stares at us- supposedly stunned.

Needless to say, I was giggling about this quest event all night.

Love is in the air!
