Mana Burn

Aug19

For some reason Bbqtwilight was harrassing people in Goldshire, and I caught her in the middle of hearthing out.

Yesterday was sort of rough on RBGs.  Pomstar, who leads Pwnography, runs rbgs on a regular basis with varying degrees of success depending on who goes.  Anyway he was looking for healers so I said I’d go, and found myself in a 3rd group of 4 total.  He said we were making two group, but he was the only one leading so after cherry picking his own team and asking someone to lead the second one, they went off to start doing battles while the rest of us were kind of hung out to dry.  Vagisil (with the funny A) lead the second group after another hour or so, and we got Gilneas but did terrible and lost.  It took SO long to get going (near an hour and a half total at least) that I had to go at that point.

Later on I logged in and got a group with Peejay, but the flag carrier and I were running around together alone, and every time 5-7 of the enemy came and pounded me into the dirt.  We lost that too.

At night I ran rbgs with guild, and got Jan invited part way through.  We lost… 2-3, I think, and won 4.  My rating is up to 1475 so I have the Master Sergent title now.  I also picked up the helm and it looks BA’d enough to display.

The funny thing is, one of the battles was an AB and we ran into a Pwnography group.  The names I recognized were Healcrit, Badbadnyc,  Bloodylyfe (something like that) and Sieban.  Wasn’t impressed with any of them.  And by impressed I mean, did they put enough pressure on me that I had to focus on my own survival to the point I couldn’t heal anyone else, or were they injuring my  raid mates enough that I had to use my CDs.  Neither of those things happened and I just danced around the flag spamming holy nova, and fearing as it came up, and mana burned Healcrit.

Old dungeon blues cost too much

Aug17

TB can be pretty sometimes.

Today I was on my shaman trying to get enough honor, to covert to JP, to get my t11 set.  I have robe, pants, and gloves at this point, and VP boots.  I am curious though, why the old dungeon blues cost as much as the epics.

During one WSG battle when I jokingly said I would if we WON when someone said “tits or gtfo” I ended up making real id friends with Octavious from Hellscream. We managed to get into the same AV by queuing in a real id party together at the same time.  I mean, I don’t think the party mattered but it worked.

Later on we had, which had to be without a doubt, the WORST Tol Barad battle I’ve ever been in.  I started out on my shaman and ran to ICG, where I remained solo nearly the entire time while it turned.  Then horde flooded in and took it back.  I switched to my priest, and it just got even worse from there.  We had people staying as ghosts and doing nothing but walking around, we had rogues staying in stealth and merely watching while I took a beat down trying to find someone to heal.  We had people die and stay dead the entire time, then we had seriously about half the raid, just leave.  Horde had probably 5-8 people at every single base, we had maybe 15 people total, with only 5 trying to attack.  We went a good 15 mins at 0/3.

Knowing it was hopeless, and finding no one to heal to help even get to a base, I stayed near the bridge while a hunter and Yomomma tried to kill me.  I ended up catching Yomomma in a fear near the rocks and threw him down.

Where he stayed the remainder of the battle.

After it ended I hopped down there to see him nearly kill a DK, but I grabbed him with another MC and tossed him into the water, barely saving the alliance person.  We both dropped down and he sapped the DK all the way back to the Alliance camp, where he again tried to kill the dk.  But, I was annoying and yanked another MC and walked him to the guards, where he died.

It’s all in good fun I assure you.

Reading Mail

Aug12

I like how you actually appear to read, well, a map/mail, at the mailbox now.

Last night I ran Rbgs with the guild, and I sort of lost track but I think we lost 3 won 3, and I earned the Corporal and Sergeant title.  Everyone but me and Energizer had 0 rating though, and we were going against teams with anywhere from 200 to 1700 rating. Not that it matters much.

This morning I was asked by Retsy, a ret pally, to do some 2’s.  My requests to do 2’s has gone up quite a bit since I got this staff. I also did a few 2’s with Karma the other day but the first one we lost because I forgot to change specs and was in holy, the second was taking so long we just quit, then we got a fast one on a double dps team. I’m at cap but I did it anyway.

Then today while doing dailies this paladin started spam laughing and pointing at me, then started teabagging my feet, since I wasn’t dead.

Not sure what that was about, I don’t recognize the name.

All the Rogues

Aug11

Stood in town today and my staff and I must be turning heads. Rayslayz came by, and presumably inspected me, and asked if I wanted to do 2’s with his rogue. I said I couldn’t right now, but I’d rather not go through that unpleasantness again. I know I can fight with a rogue since Karma and I did so well, and I don’t need someone blaming everything on me.

My raid frames were acting up again in TB and it would not allow me to click certain people. Balaah is a rogue I run into a lot, who tries to direct the TB battles sometimes, and he was dying to a DK outside the walls of icg. I ran up to him and tried to bubble and…. he died. Because my frames refused to select him. I apologized to him about that later and in typical rogue fashion he was cool with it and appreciated being watched by healers. Oh I will have all the rogues on his server in my palm, oh I will XD

Tharus

Aug9

Being a big mouth in TB has its advantages I guess, been talking to Howlurr (rogue) more, and Tharus, a dwarf paladin who has it out for Ladiesman constantly.

Last night ran some bgs with Carlyshay and Meps, won 3 lost 2, was fun. Neither have much pvp gear since they just hit 85, though I got to tease Meps for fighting a paladin for like 5 mins, behind a wall on a ledge outside of the Twin Peaks base. Asked if he was making out with the pally or what. XD

So, servers down, and bored, reading arenajunkies.com. I had been curious how it seemed like other priests were able to get off mana burn much faster than me. Then it occurred to me with herbalism I get that lifebloom haste boost and I’ll macro it with mana burn. I had it on divine hymn I think but I haven’t been asked to go disc in pve in ages.
