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.

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.

Vash’jir

So continuing from yesterday, I had an Ahune group with my priest where we wiped once after still not getting him down on the 3rd phase, then a second attempt where on the 4th he was at 40% and regenning. Left that one, got another and got it.

then picked up again on the Thrall quest where a giant version of him is being beaten up by doubts again.

and this one showed up where he’s wishing he could make peace.  Well, if that happens, who will I get to kill? I mean, someone needs killing.

466ocyla

Then it was off to the earth version of this where I was nice and left the horde alone.  This one you got to travel underground again like another quest out here that I can’t quite recall.

Then we’re off to Firelands where Thrall is on fire and you have to defend Aggra’s totems.  I joined up with two mages and killed a bunch of horde, and nearly died to a warrior, but other alliance helped peel him off me.  I’ve been getting a beat down by warriors quite a bit in fact, ran into THREE in TB that teamed up and killed me, and one persistent, difficult one by the name of Isenguard gave me a real hard time.  Was impressed honestly.

and, we saved Thrall and he proposes to his woman. Aww?  Meh orcs.

Anyway, I know this guy is a blue dragon and all,  but why can’t the human males look this decent, instead of retarded cave men?

Hyjal Quests

Today Firelands hit, and yay, fun!  So first from yesterday I got a 359 ring from a Croc in TB

460ocyla

Yes, screenie and it happened.

Secondly I am glad I did all the Hyjal quests so I could see the new firelands stuff.  I’m still not sure I’m into being friends with Horde like Thrall. I mean ok yeah he’s cool, but if I’m gonna be giggly with anyone it’s gonna be Blood Elves mmmkay?

461ocyla

So some bad assed twilight people show up, and kick Thralls ass or something.  Almost feels like playing one of those guys would be fun.  But if Deathwing destroys the world, then what? Just hanging out on an empty white screen?

After that I was transported by this guy

462ocyla

across Uldum in a tornado, which I thought was rather epic looking

463ocyla

and was dropped at this place where you have to save Thrall, or something.

464ocyla

But I saw something more interesting which was horde, including Zukk and Ukko all flagged.  I tried to throw Ukko off a ledge and ended up helping kill him, , but got killed when he blew me off the edge way into Fatigues-ville.  Came back later and MC’d at least one person off the side and got so preoccupied messing with horde that I haven’t finished that spot yet.  Ladiesman reminded me that TB was on and they were missing me, so I went to that and helped win it.  A new BH raid is out but I didn’t have time to try it.

On the way past the bridge I ran into a horde hunter who I feared, then grabbed with a MC still on his bike, and threw him off the cliff near the bridge.  /flex!  Gosh I never have fraps running for epic junk like that.  I heard there was pvp back at the Hyjal spot so I went back and MC’d an annoying arcane mage off a tree, where they were AB spamming people. Stupid mages.  I died to him and a shaman though since no one else was helping.

Ended up in vent with the team 3 from my old guild took on to discuss some stuff, and they asked me if my mage would like to raid sometimes, I said sure.  I guess the old guild wants to start doing 25m? It’s like uh really? We couldn’t even put together 2 10m teams.  Well, ok.

My Bones

As I understand it, Turnizzle, who was also an officer, quit the guild as well as another person, probably the guy who server transferred.   I know Turn was ticked about not doing heroics that last time because we were missing one person.

Anyway ran a few TB’s today only because Ladiesman was there.  One time we lost, the next time we won, when he came as alliance.  I was allowed to free cast my ass off behind a column in ICG with only token attempts to kill me, and I was defended very well by alliance the entire time too. That was a good win.

Afterwards I got in 2 kills by doing my usual guard trick.   We must have really confused that bbqtwilight warlock since we were both standing around flagged, outside of the guards, not killing each other.  My alliance card, it’s gone, you can hear it being ripped in the wind already.  He did kill me at least once, though.  Today I learned, by him being sassy and saying my skeleton was cute, that draenei skeletons do indeed have a tail bone, and horns.  That’s attention to detail for ya XD
