Brain Pet

Yesterday, ran every TB battle I could and did the dailies. I partied with a paladin to do a few of the pvp dailies, and they switched to a rogue character they had, and told me they do this every day on 3 characters. That shamed me into running them at least once.

I ran into Leonz during at least one of these too.

Later on in the AH I run across this really nasty, pulsing brain hunter pet.  Ewww.

and though I do get in on it late, I do some of the ICC 10 run and get several achievements.

Rogues are slippery

Today I log in to do 2’s and get in a TB battle, which we actually win! Couldn’t believe it.  Of course someone said the horde probably want to run TB on their Alliance alts, which.. would be lame.  Still, we got it.

Afterward we form up for BH and get that boss the first try. No cloth drops though.

Later I get on the next battle, and run in flagged just in time to get the win though, and run into my Ladiesman rogue, but the Alliance around me aren’t helping out so I die. To wear off the pvp flag I go stand in a group of these Alliance guards…

and as a horde runs past I stun them, and they run in to their deaths as they try to kill me.  Those TB guards, are no joke.  I know, they wreck my junk when I do the same thing on the Horde side.  However,  I had to laugh! Then twice my rogue “friend” runs in, once gets killed by the guards, and another time has to bail over the edge to get away from some alliance.  The third time I watch from my ring of guards, while he heads closer to the Alliance camp and stand flagged, on a rock looking down on our camp.  I forget to take a screenshot but since I am not flagged I just watch him on his motorcycle.  It must be a rogue thing, since Stout has the same one.  I had half a mind to stun with a Chastise and levitate down to my camp, but I figure I’d behave myself for once.

So! Tonight we did get Chimaeron

then went off to the last boss in this place

We also went on to kill Halfus, Valiona and Theralion in Bastion of Twilight.

I get a new pair of bracers too (Bracers of the Bronze Flight), so very happy, was wearing pvp bracers for a long while ><

So I met this one rogue…

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.

Assholes in full effect

Hit TB to do the dailies, and man, the asshole were in full effect today.  I call out if anyone wants to group for the dailies, no takers.  I run up to kill Largo and there’s already a stack of people waiting.  I invite the alliance standing around, and miss the spawn 3x as the horde get to it first.  A flagged horde shaman, by the name Ukku I believe, who I see a lot in pvp comes up and I kill them.  They come right back and blast me off the tower, and throwing levitate throws me so far out in the water I hit Fatigue and it takes a good 30 seconds of running back to clear it.  Fing shamans.  By then my party had all ditched me.

Back up in the tower I invite a shaman named Jenesis, a paladin, and another person.  While I’m waiting on like, the 6th spawn on this mob, a dwarf hunter I did not see takes it from us, and when I /say GOD DAMN IT they say something about people being assholes and how I should have invited them. DICK.   I did not see the damn obscured SMALL DWARF behind the giant Draenei paladin I had invited.  I reply “I did not see you little dwarf” but he assholes down the stairs.

The other players ditch after that and I asked Jenesis if they wanted to continue the rest of the quests, and they do.

We get to talking about raids, arena, pvp, etc and I end up making a friend. They say they have a rogue main and their husband plays a paladin.  My two favorite classes!
