I’m thankful for Wow

We’re not going to family’s house for T-day.. the last few years we’ve invited friends over and had a veritable feast. Every year we make way too much food. This year we decided to do a “just us” Thanksgiving.

Original plan: eat cereal, play Wow…
Pro: This plan had simplicity. It was easy to understand. I didn’t spend all day cooking in the kitchen. It had the added bonus of possibly allowing me to get closer to 80.
Con: No turkey, No leftovers. I like turkey sandwiches. It didn’t feel very celebratory.

A question of light

Mulling this over.. I think I like/dislike zones based in part on the quality of their light.

Howling Fjord: 90% love it. Bright summer day.. love it. The burning part in the middle.. loved it less.
Dragon Blight: 90% hate it. Ever overcast winter day. Every once in a while I wonder into a [...]

HEAL ME!

I think West Kingdom is facing a healing shortage. I’m not panicked about it.. I’m sure we’ll get through it.. but I’m concerned. Times are tough all over.

Our main Holy Priest pulled her main out of the guild to go raid with more hardcore guild.
Our only Resto Shaman has instead leveled a Warrior tank.
One of our priest is leveling a Boomkin. I don’t know if she plans to stay boomkin.
Another Holy Priest is leveling her warlock (which could partially be my fault).
On of our Resto Druids finally took this opportunity to go back to playing his Mage main.
Another Resto Druid is leveling a Death Knight.

A long while back I changed my Warlock to be my main and stopped focusing on my Holy Paladin. The Paladin is still there but I’m still feeling kind of kicked in the kidneys when I play her.. so she’s still stuck at 70.

Thank god for Persephany (Holy priest) and Leadpally(Holy Paladin). If it wasn’t for them we’d be totally healerless.

Affliction scribbles: Minor rotation note

Very quick note.. I’m currently spec’d hybrid Siphon Life/Felguard.. but I miss my true affliction roots. I stumbled upon a little tidbit.

Things of note.. only lasts 12 seconds.. so you can’t use haunt to easily get two stack. If you’re 5/5 then a two stack adds 10% damage to your dots.. and reduces hots [...]

“ZOMG! Players are OP, nerf players”

I’m starting to not like this. Well ok… leveling has been ok but not exactly challenging. I’ve been distracted the last few days and haven’t really done much in the way of leveling.. but really I want to talk about instances.

So far I’ve done Utgarde Keep, The Nexus, Azjol-Nerub, and Ahn’kahet: The Old Kingdom. The only one that was even slightly challenging was The Nexus.. and that was only because the pugged tank did not understand tank kiting. Even then, we ended up killing the last boss when the Ret Pally picked her up.

Daily Grind

Daily Quest

Do your dailies!
But I’m leveling
That’s no excuse!! Do your dailies!

Yesterday, while I was 72 I did 4 dailies, they each gave me ~10g and 20k xp. Yes. 20k.
This morning at level 73 I did the Isle dailies. The quests from the first two buildings gave 8.5k per quest. The quests from the last building and the inn gave 12.5k xp each. I think I got 1/4 of a level.

Warlock pre-Naxx Gear

I have made my first cut of a pre-Naxx gear set. Oddly, it doesn’t look too hard to acquire.

Most of my pieces are pretty good already. I just need to fiddle a few pieces [...]

Fear the wrath of Neelshok!!

It turns out I’m totally out of practice with leveling. I keep getting full bags.. or noticing that I’m running out of shards (I’ve resolved to use Spellstones and Soulstone myself constantly). And what’s the deal with picking up 8 different kinds of food? My bags over floweth with 1-2 pieces of “stuff you eat”. I’m a warlock FFS.. I can’t remember the last time I ate anything.. well except for Blackened Basilisk. Speaking of which.. I’m so totally eating basilisk while I level. I have 3 stacks in the bank.. that should last me until … 74 or so.

Lootranks + Warlock DPS Spreadsheet = ZOMGASM

First you take Leulier’s WoW Warlock DPS Spreadsheet and you fiddle with it until it matches your items/spec.

Then you goto Loot Rank and you enter those values in for the rankings.

Then you twiddle through the items and see what you can find. Nibuca’s Lootranks for Warlocks

Asshattery, Beaurocracy and Cheesedickery: The ABCs of Guilds

We started off simply. In the beginning the only guild rule was “No Drama”. It was simple. Anything that happened in the guild.. you could look at it and say “does this cause drama?” If the answer was yes.. the don’t do it.

Then we grew. We got more people into the [...]
