Old dungeon blues cost too much

TB can be pretty sometimes.

Today I was on my shaman trying to get enough honor, to covert to JP, to get my t11 set.  I have robe, pants, and gloves at this point, and VP boots.  I am curious though, why the old dungeon blues cost as much as the epics.

During one WSG battle when I jokingly said I would if we WON when someone said “tits or gtfo” I ended up making real id friends with Octavious from Hellscream. We managed to get into the same AV by queuing in a real id party together at the same time.  I mean, I don’t think the party mattered but it worked.

Later on we had, which had to be without a doubt, the WORST Tol Barad battle I’ve ever been in.  I started out on my shaman and ran to ICG, where I remained solo nearly the entire time while it turned.  Then horde flooded in and took it back.  I switched to my priest, and it just got even worse from there.  We had people staying as ghosts and doing nothing but walking around, we had rogues staying in stealth and merely watching while I took a beat down trying to find someone to heal.  We had people die and stay dead the entire time, then we had seriously about half the raid, just leave.  Horde had probably 5-8 people at every single base, we had maybe 15 people total, with only 5 trying to attack.  We went a good 15 mins at 0/3.

Knowing it was hopeless, and finding no one to heal to help even get to a base, I stayed near the bridge while a hunter and Yomomma tried to kill me.  I ended up catching Yomomma in a fear near the rocks and threw him down.

Where he stayed the remainder of the battle.

After it ended I hopped down there to see him nearly kill a DK, but I grabbed him with another MC and tossed him into the water, barely saving the alliance person.  We both dropped down and he sapped the DK all the way back to the Alliance camp, where he again tried to kill the dk.  But, I was annoying and yanked another MC and walked him to the guards, where he died.

It’s all in good fun I assure you.

All the Rogues

Stood in town today and my staff and I must be turning heads. Rayslayz came by, and presumably inspected me, and asked if I wanted to do 2’s with his rogue. I said I couldn’t right now, but I’d rather not go through that unpleasantness again. I know I can fight with a rogue since Karma and I did so well, and I don’t need someone blaming everything on me.

My raid frames were acting up again in TB and it would not allow me to click certain people. Balaah is a rogue I run into a lot, who tries to direct the TB battles sometimes, and he was dying to a DK outside the walls of icg. I ran up to him and tried to bubble and…. he died. Because my frames refused to select him. I apologized to him about that later and in typical rogue fashion he was cool with it and appreciated being watched by healers. Oh I will have all the rogues on his server in my palm, oh I will XD

Tharus

Being a big mouth in TB has its advantages I guess, been talking to Howlurr (rogue) more, and Tharus, a dwarf paladin who has it out for Ladiesman constantly.

Last night ran some bgs with Carlyshay and Meps, won 3 lost 2, was fun. Neither have much pvp gear since they just hit 85, though I got to tease Meps for fighting a paladin for like 5 mins, behind a wall on a ledge outside of the Twin Peaks base. Asked if he was making out with the pally or what. XD

So, servers down, and bored, reading arenajunkies.com. I had been curious how it seemed like other priests were able to get off mana burn much faster than me. Then it occurred to me with herbalism I get that lifebloom haste boost and I’ll macro it with mana burn. I had it on divine hymn I think but I haven’t been asked to go disc in pve in ages.

Leyara is kind of a jerk

Finished another 125 world tree marks and got a little quest line about Leyara, who is kind of a jerk.  I do so love these force field ball things though, that should totally be a player skill.

I mean why not right, mages ended up with Taldaram fire orb.  This was a little fight but pretty cool, with summoned tornados and everything.

I end up with Leyara’s amulet which turns me into her, for 5 mins, with a 1 hour cd.  And being transported to TB, cancels it btw.

Had at least one winning TB today, but had one where we didn’t get Slags the ENTIRE TIME because horde had almost their whole raid there. After that I switched to my horde, and Zukk must have remembered me and waved, and we talked about pvp a bit.  He said he’s making a tank set for running the flag in WSG/TP, and that might be good to know since I’ve seen him in a RBG once so far.

Also today, a rogue named Shmnfriend asked if I would do 3’s with him.  I checked his armory and saw with a bit of horror that he was on a 3’s team with Soulprince as the captain. Yeah, not doing that. I asked them about it but they said no they were teamed with a warrior.  Definitely NOT doing arena with Soulprince anyway.

Darkest / Oromist

Ran a TB today and we won.  And.. I swear Ladiesman has cloned himself or something.  I had a rogue named Darkëst (blood elf) keeping me on lock down and vanishing like he does at slags, then after the battle another BE rogue named Entergy was messing with me just outside the center area, vanishing, sapping me and then just doing nothing, somehow totally avoiding my aoe’s then sapping me instantly after.  I was amused by this and played along, not trying to damage them and just rotated my cd’s to survive, wasn’t that hard, feared them, MC’d a bit, etc.  I like playing with rogues!  XD

After that I wanted to try to pound out my CP for the week so a little reluctantly picked up another group with Pomstar.  The last time I ran with them, we got 2000 to 0 capped in Gilneas.  But I don’t feel like doing much else.  We stood around for some 30 mins trying to put together a group.
