Onehitdan

Dec23

Oh gosh, I’ve been behind in updates.  I will get the pictures up after I write this all down.

First I have me in showing off my winter gear to Stout!

Then in Tol Barad I am unfortunately surrounded by flagged Horde who are childishly spitting on me and making rude remarks and such.

To stop the abuse I use one of those neat Lifegiving Seeds and turn into a bush, which they cannot target so the spitting stops.  XD

When the battle starts I run around and find Janusz, and I have to account for him running around in stealth a lot by making it not as obvious I’m traveling with someone.

We win that one, but I don’t think it’s quite as fun as WG.  I spent a lot of time in the swamp hogging up all the Whiptail, which I sell on the AH for 400g A STACK.  Of course the next day, the stack prices are greatly reduced, which is the way of the market.  Still I made at like 2k off of that, which is good because I spent a lot of money getting the last 10 points for my mages tailoring.

That night I form up with Stout and Lladin and we attempt to do Heroic Deadmines.   The first tank is a bear that I can barely keep alive spamming the balls out of Greater Heal, Penance and shields.  He drops after the first boss.

The second bear tank gets in, pulls a whole room and there is no outhealing that and we all die.  He says he thought it was regular Deadmines and I “seriously?”‘d that and Lladin made similar unbelieving comments and the tank left.

Then we got a warrior named Onehitdan and I am able to use the stupid efficient Heal quite a bit.  And people need to shut up and stop telling me to use that heal, when I clearly know it won’t work.  I am well versed in estimating incoming damage and speed vs strength/ power, and speed of my own heals from Lineage 2.   If a tank goes from 90% to 70 to 50 in the matter of seconds, I have to use my 2.3 second Greater Heal to heal for 20-30k if Penance is down or if more heals are needed.  A 2.3 seconds 5-10k heal is not going to cut it.  In both cases with the bear tanks I needed spam Gheals just to keep them from dying.  A lower powered heal of the same speed, wouldn’t have worked.  So dps? Be QUIET.

On the third boss we wiped about 3 times, and I wasn’t in the mood so I said I had to go.  I ended up running 2-3 bgs with Jan where we get this compliment.

the thanks in the picture was to me for healing that person when they were almost dead, from atop the ledge in this room.

Binding heal use to be bogus

Dec6

Today I started out in WG farming for herbs, and hit the queue as it first opened and queued for it. However when the time ticked down I was thrown out to just outside the area. Well at least that wasn’t back to SW. This is quite bogus though, almost never being able to get into WG. I did not get in at all, and horde took WG.

Later I came back in and queued for it, while key binding another spot for Binding Heal. Now I just have to “learn” where it is so I don’t have to think about it when I need it. I get in on WG and we have 16 people in the raid. I said in raid I didn’t think we’d get it because the horde is traveling in their usual packs breaking up vehicles, but even though I died many times, we do capture it! I then humbly retract my statement and note what an awesome job that was.

I also /thank a shadow priest by the name of Nynaeeve who stopped to help me kill 2 horde that were chasing me.

That night I go BGing with Janusz at Arathi Basin and it’s all wins. And he rolls in kitty form, I like kitties, it’s all good XD

Wintergrasp

Dec5

I log in and transmute a gem, then queue up for an in progress WG and get in.  We have 26 mins to go, and I appear to be talking to myself in general asking for vehicles locations; the only  person talking is me, saying where the vehicles are.  Sigh.

We do win, despite this jerk saying the same thing over and over.  I reported him.

My internet is being flakey, so I do not get in until around 9.  I get invited straight away to an Algalon the Observer fight and I figure why not.  I survive the first wipe but not the second but still, pretty cool looking fight.

201ocyla

After two attempts people leave and we give up.

After that 4 of us queue up for BGs, but I am still losing internet connection constantly so I have to give up for the night.

Wasn’t I just on another continent?

Dec4

So I found out today, if you try to sneak into WG, since I never, ever get called in any more, like now, and it throws you out, you go back to fucking STORMWIND.  It’s like um? Could you at least put me back on the continent I was on?

I was running around Eastern Plaguelands when I queued up for pvp with Janusz and some people, and half way through the AB battle for no reason I get thrown back to Eastern Plaguelands. WTH?  Then it shows I have the deserter buff. RAGE!

While I’m waiting out THAT bullshit I check out Light’s Hope Chapel which has been upgraded and Tirion has a statue up now.

197ocyla
So in the meantime I pick up a quest from the Chapel area and take one of those double person rockets off!

198ocyla

By the time that flight it up we queue again and get EotS and win! 141 honor and I only died once.

Next WSG, no death, 84 honor, win! 3/3 flags

Then AV, win, 117 honor.

Next Strand, 103 honor! Wee.  Nilvana joined up during AV and it’s fun running with groups of people, though I tend to focus more on them rather than random people, obviously.

Just Stop

Dec2

I try out my damage disc spec in a battleground, and we win, I get 142 honor but I am not finding a good balance between healing and dpsing.  I decide to set up my second spec to pick up the more pvp related disc talents instead.

I queue for a Strand and we get destroyed in like 4 mins flat.  Well at least it was quick.  Then I queue again, hit the button to go in, but get throws from the middle of the Trade District to the Cathedral Square.   Weird.

Next one, IoC, loss.

Then Strand and a win, 93 honor.  And I’m fairly certain, that this was about me.

192ocyla

Log into another IoC and we’re losing, like as I log in.  Horde already has the gates down, like 20 players inside, and it’s over. 32 honor.  I still don’t understand how I got 3 honor that one BG.

Next one, AB, loss, 21 honor. We’re playing like idiots like usual.

I then queue up for a dungeon and getone where the druid can’t stop saying lesbians.  I said something about being less obvious about being 12 years old and it stopped.
