Are you new?

We ran ToT last night and got down the first 2 bosses easily enough but lost people repeatedly right around the tanks were getting frozen. Over and over. I’m not sure we’ll get that fight any time soon. I did win a thunderforged back piece at least.

We had a druid, Katrinka, with us who seemed to be doing fine. Dor continues to act like the mechanics are news we haven’t heard about before. The new mage, Fownd I think was the name, has left already. We don’t even know why. Seemed like a nice guy and had offered us use of a mumble server.

Stealthed Heals

Being a stealthed healer, is terribly fun. I’m sure it would be better if I was feral, but gosh. IoC is the CTA this past weekend, and Alliance has something like a 99% win rate. So far the following tactics have not grown old and made me laugh a number of times.

Out of the gates run down to the quarry, cap flag. Stealth, stand on the prow as far back as possible, ready to slip off the second someone gets too close. Watch horde arrive, let them cap. Some will run right off, wait for them to get out of viewing distance, defend. Watch them run back, switch locations, they recap. They leave. Recap. Laugh some more.

Some people cap and stand around for a bit, but if my experience in bgs is any indication, no one has the ability to stay and defend for more than a few minutes in random bgs. 1 min tops is all they can stand and they run off and let me recap.

One poor rogue tonight capped it, ran off, I defended. He came back, I let him capture and waited for him to leave, recapped. He came back again, recapped, stood around a while, left, I recapped, moved locations to the back, etc. He had to go back and forth like 4x. love it! I never get caught either; they never see me.

Girl Trouble?

I found out Ladiesman is back to playing, only when “someone” wants though. Someone is a “she” and a “friend” so I’m probably looking at another loss of a gaming friend over that. I also haven’t heard from Rinni since the ‘omg yer playing with a a female’ skype incident. Sigh. Such drama for no reason.

PVP Raging

Been terribly mouthy in pvp lately. Had a AB the other day where a warrior was screaming at people at LM “all of you there and not one can cap the flag?” I told him to STFU he’s not there he doesn’t know the situation. Maybe it’s being AOE’d constantly, then what do you do? Oh right you can’t cap it, can you?

“STFU stupid noob, you don’t even have any kbs!” he retorts.

“That’s because I’m heals, MORON” I said. We went back and forth a bit and someone said to “take the high road” because we’ll never see each other again. Wut? No. I’ll pass on that high road. I don’t care if I’ll ever seen you again, you smack talk… I reply. Sure it’s easy to ignore some asshole but why? Then they get their way. FUCK THAT.

I did arena with Shockblocker on Friday and got cap, feels good to do that again. We lost a few times to a disc priest/mage set where the mage must have poly’d me like 100000 times. Also got WTFbursted down by a warrior and hunter, I think it was. Should have taken SW death glyph and probably mind control for the priest/mage. I’m not sure. When I ran with Jan (disc/feral) back when MC was baseline and I had mana burn, we could never get down that comp either. I’d mc the priest into a fear into another mc and just when the mage was about to die, I was out of options and they got healed again. I dunno. I’ll try those talents next time though.

Got dreadfully moody today when Annibelle asked if anyone wanted to help kill 2 horde on Isle of Thunder. I said yes, sec, switching since I was on my druid. I popped on my priest, started flying over and whispered to invite me. He did not and by the time I hit the camp portal he said he had killed them. It bothers me when people ask for help then finish whatever activity it was and I wasted my time switching and traveling. Then he logged and switched chars. I let him know I was annoyed.
