Darkest / Oromist

Jul20

Ran a TB today and we won.  And.. I swear Ladiesman has cloned himself or something.  I had a rogue named Darkëst (blood elf) keeping me on lock down and vanishing like he does at slags, then after the battle another BE rogue named Entergy was messing with me just outside the center area, vanishing, sapping me and then just doing nothing, somehow totally avoiding my aoe’s then sapping me instantly after.  I was amused by this and played along, not trying to damage them and just rotated my cd’s to survive, wasn’t that hard, feared them, MC’d a bit, etc.  I like playing with rogues!  XD

After that I wanted to try to pound out my CP for the week so a little reluctantly picked up another group with Pomstar.  The last time I ran with them, we got 2000 to 0 capped in Gilneas.  But I don’t feel like doing much else.  We stood around for some 30 mins trying to put together a group.

Alright I saw Almasi with the new draenei hairstyle, at least I think it’s new, and I stole it! On both draenei!

But, to be fair, it looks similar to my dwarfs hair in Lineage 2, and I loved that hairstyle.

Ran two dungeons today, and man trash took so long on some encounters I nearly fell asleep while healing.  I don’t feel like doing any troll dungeons for a while so I’m doing regulars, but I end up carrying people in low gear.  It hasn’t been too bad but it often is as bad as raid healing.

A lot of people were looking for healers for RBGs  today, and unfortunately I picked the wrong group,  We had a 10 year old who kept asking what the strategy was before we entered anything, an idiot who couldn’t connect to the server, couldn’t change channels in vent, etc, and we lost Gilneas, which some people hated for some reason, by 2000.. to ZERO.  Yes, we had zero resources.  I logged out after that.  Half the group was supposed to stay at LH with me, I only had 2 people, we some how had 4 people mark themselves as healers, and no one was peeling the shadow priest who keep mcing me over and over. I mean after I realized no one knew what they were doing I just broke LoS, but damn.   I honestly don’t know what the problem is with Gilneas either, seriously, what? It’s just like Arathi to me.

I love Tol Barad

Did some herb farming, first in a while, did my Firelands dailies, shaman’s JC dailies, etc. Ran an EPIC TB today, omg. Ran to WV which was the last base we needed, ran right up to the flag where at least 15 horde were standing, feared, divine hymn’d, threw around my normal heals, feared, DID NOT DIE, and we took it. Left that base, harassed by a DK the entire time, ran back to the center questing area, then turned around and killed a low health paladin who started attacking me too. Freaking, EPIC.

Got picked up for a BH by Nish, who is in Void now. We one shotted that but I again lost the roll on the spell pen necklace, and leather dropped. Ugh. Got an offer from him on a raiding spot in that guild but I already have one. He was pleasant enough though I know he rages sometimes. I forgot to get the TB victory quest though, and Ladiesman has been running on his warlock, which isn’t nearly as fun as the rogue.

Been a bit curious about guild banks lately. In Bloodbathed since I was an officer, I had mostly full rights to the bank, could move, take out anything except money, don’t believe I could rename tabs though. That bank normally kept around 271k in it, but there were fights about keeping repairs on a lot. That bank was mostly full of not so useful stuff, and rarely did anyone contribute to it. Most of the tabs were mostly full and just, messy. I had guild repairs pretty much all the time.

Victory or whatevers bank had around 70k in it, I could see all tabs, and was highly organized and full of raid-useful items. I did not have guild repairs on either char when I was there.

Action Nine News had about 107k in it, and was just as messy at the BB bank, and I was blocked from 3 tabs. I do not have guild repairs as a raider.

I hate crafting for dumb people

I’ve been running bgs a lot lately, and I’ve been on a win TEAR, no matter what character I’m on. I don’t know what someone did, but I only lost 1 in about 10 battles so far today.

So, what is up with people being cheap, pushy and rude when they ask you to link a profession? I may have mentioned that spat I had with Darthedwards a few months back, when he basically wanted me to provide him tailored 359 pants, and wanted me to supply my own mats, all free to him. Is that worth it to me? No. We’d have to be pretty good friends for that, and such friends, don’t cheap skate like that.

My story today is from a level 25 rogue named Sneakykillz who wanted me to make him a Glyph of Backstab, he said he will buy the mats. First he asked me to invite him. Why he couldn’t, I dunno. Then he asked me to come to him. Normally this would be a sign to just /ignore because it’s going to be a waste of my time, but occasionally I put up with obnoxious people to see what they will pull. I followed them to the inscription trainer, and they said they could not buy midnight inks. Then told me to follow them to the AH. They did not find any inks on there, so said they would pay 9 gold for the glyph and “is that fair?”. I pointed out that the glyphs were going for 59g on the AH. They replied “god I dnt have tht much and tht is bc ppl are greedy” then said “yes or no”. I pointed out that ink requires farming or buying of herbs, then milling them. But, for kicks I said I would check if I had any ink. They replied that, nevermind, they can just get someone ELSE to do it. Then I called them a pushy ass rogue and no I didn’t have any of those inks. Some people. Yeah lemme make something for you, someone I do not know, with my own mats, and take a huge loss on it. Why would I do that?

Action Nine News

So in the last few days I tried the new  BH raid, Occu’thar.  We had a good group, and although it took us like 5 tries to get it down, everyone was working well together to figure it out.  I always feel watching and reading about the raids is all good but you still have to do it and work together.

Then I joined up with Action Nine News to be on their raid team that goes Fri/Sat 8 to 12.  Those hours work well for me, and 2 days a week raiding I like too.

We tried this guy, Lord Rhyolith, but did not get him.  But, spending an entire night wiping, on new content, is nothing new.  Cauldrons were always set out, fish feast, and everyone was back in and ready to pull again within 1-2 mins after each wipe.

I ran arena with Leonz and although disc/ret pally is just not a good comp in general, we got enough points, combined with my arena points, for me to get my new shoulders.  And after that raid last night I ran TB and ran into Rayzo.

We had a little joke at Slags when everyone left us there, and I said “we got this” then clarified to mean that “by got this I mean, we’ll both get it in the ass in a few minutes” then being a typical rogue, he joked and said it would be just me because he’d vanish and leave my ass there.  Rogues ah, love them.  He didn’t though, and when 20 horde rolled in and kicked out ass he died too, but claimed it was only because he was DoT’d and didn’t have cloak up.  Suuure. But I have a new rogue fan, it looks like, so I’m happy.
