You have a solid case

Nov30

This afternoon I run a WSG and we win, 3/3 and I earn 153 honor, 57 HK’s, no killing blows.

Next one, WSG, a win, 93 honor there though, 2 killing blows, 2 deaths, 37 HKs.  3/3 flags again.  We spent some time camping their graveyard and I have a little convo with this gnome:

191ocyla

Then I queue up for WG and wait 14 mins for it to pop. I get in and we have 6 people that gradually increased to about 11.  We got the relic room door down to about half and then lost.  I was unable to build anything more than a cata even though I killed 2 horde npcs, and assisted killing 2 horde players.  Also the problem we ran into,  when we were knocking down the inner doors, something like 8 guards spawned, so 8 of them plus 11 horde players outnumbered us on foot trying to defend the sieges.  Still it was quite close.  The vehicles really do need more armor since we have this giant battleground for like 10 people these days.

Having a healer like myself also, again, is quite obviously a huge advantage.  This does you no good in vehicles, however.  I hate to say it but I am starting to not like queuing for WG.  If the sides were balanced at a full raid group per full raid group, that would be ok.  But fighting 5 to 5 people makes it impossible to both defend towers, while defending vehicles or driving vehicles  and killing the enemy on foot.  It’s not fun, any more, without enough people to defend towers, try to break towers, take workshops, defend vehicles, etc.

I also picked up the 264 pvp bracers and finally used those to replace the 245 Royal Moonshroud bracers I’ve been using since the day I hit 80 and the 245 pvp bracers I was using.

I queue up for a dungeon, and the lines are still rather long and I have to wait over 5 minutes.  I know all the dps are like, QQ more with their 20 minute waits, but usually healers are much faster.

I get PoS with a tank who says he is new to tanking and not geared, and I lost him at Garfrost and lose the warlock when he stands in the poison nova on the second boss.  I DC when my stupid computer shuts down on the ramp but they seem to survive that.   I then lose the tank on the ice ramp because he gets out of my range and loses health very fast, constantly. I almost lose him again on Tyrannus when he blips down to 10% health in like a second, but somehow manage to outheal it. We finish, yay. Frustrating.

I get WSG as the random BG, again. Someone says to control mid but then everyone runs around like usual, leaving the horde to destroy me and the 2 people trying to control mid. We lose.  30 honor.  0 killing blows, 10 deaths, 14 hk’s.  Moonfire spam, is bullshit.

Next is Arathi, and we lose, 34 honor. I go to bed.

Dance of Joy

Nov6

Back in Mirror Lake Orchard I start talking to the Cultists trying to find missing family members.  I tell I talk to Cultist Wyman and tell him his family is worried and wants him to come back to Stormwind. He refuses stating he’s on the path to ascension.  Maybe they are serving Kool aid?

I’m having trouble locating some Cultists so I /target them and use Mind Vision to look around. Here’s me using it on Kaima. I’m in the back upper right.

Kaima doesn’t wish to return either. There is another cultist just outside the house that Lethelyn was in. She at least has the grace to burst into tears over the fight she had with her family over the cult. Back to Stormwind Keep Anton says there is nothing we can do to convince the cultists otherwise, and says that Cho’Gall is in charge of the cult, and it has to be Twilight’s Hammer. I don’t recall that particular lore. This explains all the devices all over town though, if I got some many other people did too and not all undercover. I find a device and it spawns a storm mob!

The Stormwind Guards just watch me kill it though and do not help. After I kill 5 I return to Anton and he worries that people will abandon the Light for promises of power and immortality. Now I get to speak to the King, prrrrow. Waiting for people to move so I can take a shot takes a while.

Wait, what? I get a party?

And now we are so happy, we do the Dance of Joy!

Cultists

Sep8

I log in today and start doing the cult quests in Stormwind, then catch a WG battle.  I use the trick I noticed in other battles to take down guns in a spot where they cannot hit me.  We lose however, which is sad because horde was barely putting up any resistance.

I then finish my quests, and the nice thing about doing them late is there is no one around blocking the activity.

and this, this was just my usual poor timing of a screenshot XD  Apparently if you are still wearing the Cultist gear here it gets automatically removed at this point.

I run my fishing daily and make out like a bandit earning a Sealed Vial of Poison for another easy quest turn in, and a Brilliant Stormjewel plus 7 gold. That quest involved going into the sewers and turning in something for 14 gold 80 silver.  Though it would be funny if there was a chance to drop the poison and kill yourself.  Maybe.

I run my cooking daily and collect my carrots in the forest, cook them up with the Chilled Meats and turn it in for spices and my 9g.

I run WG and end up protecting a tower, taking like 3 minutes just to kill a priest, then killed one catapult before a god damn shaman hops out and destroys me.  There is no point, NONE, in trying to kill one with tenacity unless you have 5 other people.  It’s like killing a tank that can heal while nuking. We win this time however.

Later, since I have nothing else to do, I run some BGs and get Arathi.  We lose though I learn that rogues can sap me even with Ice Barrier up.  That seems wrong, I mean, I though the damage would knock them out of stealth but it doesn’t appear to.  Before and after this I chatter idly in guild wondering if the crabby mage will strike up a conversation but they do not.

I run Isle of Conquest and hang out protecting the Glaive against a few horde and fondly give them a /pat.  I like the glaive vehicles quite a bit. We win that one.

I couldn’t manage to get the weekly on either char this week so I guess I’ll just have to skip it this time.  This char has maxed out JP anyway.  I am seriously considering a name change on this character however, since too many other people have names starting with Silver.
