2 Trinkets 1 Night

Aug21

I did flex tonight with Time Lords and wow.  I got TWO trinkets tonight.  Prismatic Prison of Pride (say that 3 times… ) and Nazgrim’s Burnished Insignia.  What with my love of trinkets and all, this is some crazy, insane, luck!

I also have a 2 piece T… 15? or whatever it is now.

PVE healing still bores me to tears though.  What do you mean, nothing is trying to directly kill me, what gives? No arrows in the ass, no rogue shadow-stepping me, nothing?

There are technically rogues in that wing but it’s not the same.

I orginally wanted to dps on Ocyla for this raid, but like most everything, no one ever wants to heal.  But that’s ok because TWO TRINKETS!! Time to work on some VP!

 

Oh and shamans seems a little ridiculous when Healing Stream Totem is their #2 heal.  Really? Geez.

Battle Kitty Button Bloat

Aug19

I geared out my feral spec in full prideful (4th set so far this season, ugh!) and I’m trying to learn the rotation.  The problem I’m having currently is massive button bloat.

Usually I work a class around what I spam hit, what I use on a proc, what I use while moving, have to use while stopped, hit often but not too much, hit infrequently etc but currently that doesn’t seem to work with a druid.  It seems like it’s lots of buttons that are hit not all the time but rather often.  I haven’t figured out a system yet.

And this is coming from a resto druid who totally shifts into kitty form, stealths, pounces, mains, mangles, rakes, etc.  It’s like all that plus 30 more things.  I’m having a hard time.

Found out Deterrence, that annoying Alliance hunter, renamed to Predator – Kaelt’has and got them added to btags.  Also added an alliance monk who also has a mage (Zenira – Echo Isles).  Finally, I’m meeting good Alliance pvpers.

Wellp. Alliance and dead frogs

Aug12

Playing either solo queue, or with a group as Alliance has not changed that I recall when I first started tearing my hair out about it some years back.  It’s still pretty horrible with probably a good 60% if not more in losses.  Or in this game, a tie.

I think the game knows I’m working on a feral set, so has granted me nothing but crushing losses the last 3 days, and even a loss or two in AV.   The other players in a losing EotS were screaming that it was the healers fault, but sorting by damage and seeing the top 10 players all be horde, well ok.

 

In other news, Deadfrog is now a GNOME and on Emerald Dream! huh!  We shall evil priest the world together!

NERF FERAL

Aug7

That druid in WG, ugh.  Otnealy.  I can’t kill him, just can’t.  I heard almost nothing can kill a good feral and I see why.  I got him down to perhaps 20% and he just healed to full like he had a LoH.  Ugh.  Frustrating.

Did some raids tonight with Time Lords and picked up the heroic mace from the Lich King, it’ll look nice with a mostly white set. WoWScrnShot_080714_094015

 

Also spend some time in Darkshire, since someone was spamming attacks like crazy.  Ended up killing Adacel, that warlock a couple of times, then a rogue showed up.  I believe I died once, got them a few more times with some other alliance.  But then Dedd, who was also in Evil Heart, showed up on his mage and thrashed me pretty good.

Later we moved out to Westfall in Moonbrook and a monk joined.  Apparently it was a “kill Coquette party” as they called it and called me a traitor.  I went in vent to talk a bit though.  Ocyla, my priest, who I was playing has never been horde so there’s no traitoring going on exactly.   I grouped with 2 other ally and we beat them in a fair 3v3 but, as Alliance do, they left soon after.  I was left with me vs 3 and commented “and that’s how you get ants”.

It was overall a pretty busy day for wpvp.  I killed Eklipz, that awful rogue in Hellfire, and he came back with a DK, and a warlock, and tried to kill me while I was mostly afk in the air a bunch of times.  Busy busy day!

 

Well fine then /hairflip

Aug4

So, I had agreed with Leorick from Of Hells Design to a 9:30 run tonight for the 6 Challenge Modes I need to finish for the transmog set.  Only…

Looks promising right?  (sarcasm)  I msg’d him, since you know, as a raider I get ready ahead of time.  I got “I told you it would be after the Garrosh kill, so if you can wait 20 minutes…”.  No, we agreed on 9:30, I don’t sit around and wait to pay someone 60k for something I healed myself over a year ago.  Thanks.  /HAIRFLIP!

Plus I watched their live stream last run and he crashed on the last boss in one of the instance so I’m not feeling it. Just not.  On top of all that by 10pm they were still in SoO raiding and 3 of the people in the group weren’t online.
