So I met this one rogue…

Feb5

Yesterday I ran into that LadÎesman rogue and he started the blowing a kiss thing again, so we traded that back and forth for a while. I decided to hop on my horde after the battle just to send a note that I was impressed with his playing at the battles and he said it was nothing personal that he goes for healers first, and that it was fun. I agreed and said I expected anyone with sense to kill healers first. And for some reason he sent me 2 ruined embersilk scraps. Too bad you can’t loot bodies in TB like you could in WG, and get funny grey items like Broken I WIN button, crystallized tears, etc. I liked that little touch.

Tonight we ran BWD again and wiped right away a few times on Aramedes when Darth wasn’t doing, whatever needed to be done. The funny thing is, the time we got it he was dead like the entire battle, then dropped a hint that someone killed him with fire, rather than doing what the rest of us do and get OUT of the fire.

Then we tried the Chimaera again and several times got him down to between 160k and 800k health. I kid you got. SO CLOSE. Clearly, a disc priest doesn’t fly here. We called it without getting it because it was late, but I am positive we’ll get it tonight. We got it almost down at least 5 times.

Deepholm

Finished up the chain of Deepholm quests, and ran the dailies for Therazane.

Ran TB twice today as attacking and did not take it.  During one of the battles, a worgen named Shíggles starts carrying on about how TB is so easy to take, I say it’s not, in raid, and they decide to take the convo to pm’s.  Basically we’re in agreement that you need a coordinated group of people, preferably on voice comm, to take TB.  What I disagree on is that is it NOT EASY.  It’s not easy because even amounts of people have uneven jobs.  The defenders with 50 people need to only keep one base.  The attackers with 50 people (for example) have to take and keep THREE BASES.  That, is not easy.  Add to the fact that you are running around with people who may not be in pvp gear, probably not with the ideal amount of healers, with various people attempting to lead, and other lack of communication, it is NOT EASY.

But to me, bringing 50+ people that work well together, in itself, is not considered “easy”.  They then ask if I’ve heard of Rogue’s Vent, which no I have not.  Rather than telling me what that is they keep expressing shock and awe that I haven’t heard of it. I couldn’t find a thing on it, and they gave me the wrong url for it 3 times, only then could I locate anything about it.  I was willing to go into vent and speak about this more, but shortly after I kept saying their vent link didn’t work, they asked me to stop pming them and I said fine.

I mean, if it takes that much coordination and everyone in a vent server, I’ll do it.  But that, people, is not easy.

Afking for Honor

Jan26

Ran the TB dailies with Janusz today, though we only had it for a short time today before losing it again. Since I’m honor capped I bought new boots, bracers, and belt.

During some battlegrounds, a person kept shouting to report a person, which means to report them being afk. I watched the rogue standing there in one instance, fading in and out of stealth, and moving occasionally, and pointed out that reporting player afk doesn’t work if they are a bot doing things to make them not really afk. It stinks a person can do that and you cannot kick them out though, and they still get honor for doing nothing.

We try the Bastion of Twilight, but it’s not working out and after 10:30 I have to go.

Kissing rogues is probably a bad idea

Jan19

Ran TB and won it, and I didn’t die the entire battle, and killed many horde.  The next two battles I didn’t get in at all though.

I went back to herbing in Twilight Highlands, after deciding to stick to only making a few flasks and selling the other herbs for income.   I need my transmute living elements for cloth for my mage, and farming enough herbs to make all flasks nets me no money at all for raid repairs and such.  I am going to focus on making the spirit and int flasks and sell the others.

Speaking of flask making, I made 5 Flowing Water and 5 draconic mind and not a single one proc’d.  UGH.  The Steelskin ones proc a few times though.

I catch a TB battle with Nilvana later in the afternoon, and on my way to defend a tower I run into a rogue named [url=http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/whisperwind/lad%C3%AEesman/advanced]Ladîesman[/url], yes with the character like that.  I’ve seen him many times in WG too. For some reason the alliance that were there all ran off and I was left to deal with the blood elf rogue myself, and I killed him and blew a kiss at the bones.  At 20% health I go to run off but he’s back already, saps me and kills me. Bleh.

Later I run into him again at Slagworks

and he shakes off dying at least twice by doing whatever rogue trickery they do to throw off my dots and vanish.  But, apparently I’ve made a fan.

We successfully defend, and it was quite a fun battle.

Later we run Baradin’s Hold and get it in the first try, unlike that other night where things went so bad.  A very nice pvp trinket drops, and Leonz says he’ll give it to me if he wins, which he does, and he gives it to me.  So of course this means free strength flasks, which fortunately come from herbs that I have an easier time finding than others.  I also make him an Embersilk bag on my mage and mail it off.

Since the raid tonight did not go down, we form up with Maice, me, Seanjohn, Darth, Stout and run a heroic, and get Deadmines.  That goes fine, though nothing dropped I could use.  I really need to do these daily as I am still only at around 770 valor points.

5 man Dungeons use to be Hard

Jan17

Today I try again for Throne of the Tides on heroic, and we wipe on trash, wipe on the first boss. This time I did not die last, so it didn’t bug. Then we wipe again. And again. The problem seems to be the dps, with the warlock at 9k, and the DK at 6k, and the mage at 5. The tank gives them a talking to at that point. The DK gets a smart mouth about standing in the spouts too. We wipe again. 43g in repairs. The next time we get it though the DK did die. We get down the next boss, but I lose track of the amounts of times I die in this dungeon. We kicked the DK for “terrible dps”, plus the bad attitude. We do get it finished though nothing I need dropped.

I go and take a look at the valor point priest stuff, and ugly, ugly. Can’t I just keep my blues? Way prettier. I have 2000 honor I have nothing else to do with also so I pick up my shoulders, even though I don’t need a 5 piece set.

After that annoying dungeon I run IoC and we win, then Battle of Gilneas. At one point I saw someone pick up our flag, and without running across the room out to the doorway. Anyway we lose that one. We lose TB too, with people screaming in frustration in raid about how bad alliance is. I really don’t think some people understand just how hard it is to win, at prime time though.

At night I run a 3v3 with Pauldie on his warlock and Janusz, and me on shadow. The rights go pretty fast, overall. I’m not looking to do anything but the minimum right now since I’m still mostly geared for healing. I get the World Wide Winner achievement.
