Time Zones

Jan12

Spent some time NOT getting into Tol Barad farming Jasmine while waiting for the raid.  We got Magmaw down again after 3 tries, and the mage weapon dropped again and a tank piece, I think it was. It was not-cloth at any rate.  The weapon was accidently DE’d, much to Lladins chagrin I am sure. I had this happen at Onyxia one too, like a year ago, they “forgot” they had a mage with them and DE’d that Netherwind Crown, but the GMs did restore it.

I tank healed this again, but it doesn’t feel very tankish when I have aoe heals going off too.

Next is some Omnitrom Defense System thing, all ‘council’ like and stuff. Blizzard, seriously, jazz up the golem models a little bit.

Anyway like the first boss we wipe repeatedly but make progress each time, and at the last attempt we get it to around 30%, I believe.  I seem to be the only one that has to leave, at midnight, but yeah, I have to be up at 6 am.

Herb Gathering

Jan12

Spent most of today herbing. It looks like they fixed Deepholm and Twilight Highlands a bit, because I was able to collect 3 stacks of Twilight Jasmine and Heartblossom, where previously getting 12 each was hours and hours of work. I am going to wait until the reduce the amount of herbs needed before making any more flasks, however.

I also used up, or sold my old Wrath herbs, and transfered herbs I get too many of, like Cinderbloom and Stormvine, to my old herb bag. I suppose I could just sell them, but I’m going to focus on providing raid flasks so I’m going to save everything.

Quest fixed

Jan12

Yesterday I heard the problem quest was fixed, and it was, and I completed it today, yay!

I half assed mined while fishing and farming for Volatiles to make my cloth, then created a pair of epic pants for my mage. I may not be raiding right away but I like questing on this character more than on the priest, who I like raiding on more.

Boxers

Jan9

Started my Barad dailies and ran into Stout and finished them together. I die a lot less, when I’m with someone. Those mobs can be really hard.

Later I get in a mostly guild run of Vortex and get a new heroic necklace, and pants. Woo! I went with Aster, Darth, Linden.

I get in a win of Tol Barad, then I run battlegrounds with Pauldie on his warlock, Nilv, Jan, and Lladin. We also form a 5v5 team and do a few matches until it gets too late.

A few of the matches were against a frost mage, and FOUR shaman, with only 2 people playing live. How that is even allowed, to have 1 person clearly botting 3 other accounts, is beyond me. Apparently it’s ok. It really pissed me off to even see that though.

Rathrak, the Poisonous Mind

Jan9

Got pretty lucky on the last LFR and Gorgor went with me on his priest, won Ring of the Riven on Hagara, then won Rathrak, the Poisonous Mind from Madness. Apparently it sort of sucks, hard. It has a poison proc rather than haste/crit hit/haste or some other things, and it rarely triggers and when it does the damage is meh. I tried it on end time and it only accounting for 2% of my damage, or around 90k. For some reason I didn’t have an off hand to use with it either so ended up buying a pvp one.
