Logged in and saw that WG was already in progress so ran and queued up for it.  Other than an annoying Tauren shaman standing on the inner west wall blasting people, it wasn’t very eventful and we spent another round grinding horde into their own camp.  I forgot to equip my pvp gear but I still didn’t die at all the entire time!

I then get in a Vault of Archavon (VOA) 10 man group and it takes forever to find a second healer.  Then a tank drops and we have to wait another 10 minutes or so for another. Nothing cloth drops, at all.

VOA 25 I’d rather not talk about but basically a warrior decides to take on trash mobs, I get flattened by a rogue mob and die, and the group basically wipes.  We then try to go again short 1 healer and wipe half the group again.  We fail miserably at the Frost boss, about 6 people leave, we regroup and get him down.  Nothing cloth drops.  We also do the fire boss and again, nothing cloth drops. It took me a full hour or so to do these 2, I was kind of pissed. The frost mage crows that she had 7600 dps, mostly by not ever switching to the Frozen Orbs, adding yet another mage to my list of mages that suck.  I haven’t found a pleasant one yet anyway.

I then queue for my dungeon daily and get Violet Hold (VH) and we do ok. I get the Dehydration achievement from the water boss.

It is difficult to heal and hide the interface at the same time XD

Second boss is the fire dog, who is the model for the pet that comes with purchasing an authenticator.

We down the angry blue dragon with no trouble at all.  I get my frost badges, and win disenchant rolls on both pieces of armor (my rolls are hax all around) and log shortly after.

I stop being a jerk, sometimes

Decided to pop on my mage and go out mining, though I did my fishing daily first, which launched the poison and recipe quests as well, lucky day!

When I go to turn in my fishing quest, I see a male blood elf PRIEST, probably the first one I’ve ever seen.  I must have made it obvious that I was looking at them because they wave to me, so I wave back and blow a kiss.

While I’m out mining I notice that when Orgims Hammer and the Skybreaker pass each other, they fire back and forth.

I spent some time killing their NPCs.

I run out of MP trying to kill this guy though, tried it three times and I’d run out of mp both times with about 10% hp left. Bummer.  I wonder if this guy is named after the Davos in the Song of Ice and Fire books since he’s on a boat and all.

I stop being a jerk, since no horde are coming to defend, and head back to mining.  Afterwards I head back to Dal, clean up some bags and realize I have TWO full bags just of old gear.  Eeesh.  I need to do something about that.  I smelt the saronite to send to Ocyla to transmute, then queue up for WG. It tells me to wait. Sigh.  I do not get in.

I then head to Stormwind to check out the new gear vendors. Yes, this stuff is way better than my epic gear is now.  Too bad it requires level 85. Damn.  Going back to wearing blues will be humbling.

I put in for a Character Recustomization to have my name changed to Elleria, which took me like 4 days to come up with since everything else I could think of was already taken.

I run WSG and we lose, I end up with 7 killing blows, 41 HK’s and 49 whole honor. I also get the Not In My House achievement.

Later I run WG and, I’m sorry, but what the fuck?  The horde gets like 5 vehicles in the first 5 minutes, rolls through the keep and wins it in under 7 minutes.  How the hell do they get vehicles so fast?  And I’m not talking catas, they had a demo rolling out within the first 3 mins of it starting, HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?  They had 2 sieges and another demo (because I broke the first) within 2 mins of that.  When we’re attacking in WG I can’t rank up fast enough to get anything but a cata.

Of course since there were no alliance at the keep other than 1 other and myself, who knows, it may have been a bunch of horde alts farming HK’s.  I’m mad.  We only had 6 people this raid, at prime time, that’s sad.  I logged out pretty ticked.

Glad I have fishing on one character

I log in and do my Dalaran fishing daily, then head to SW and made 5g, then 10g porting people.  All I really have to do is stand around and people ask.  I am not asking for tips, they are just doing it.

I go run the new Stormwind cooking daily, A Fisherman’s Feast and lucky for me I already have fishing.

7 gold 40 silver, Alliance rep and a chefs award. I pick up the new flight paths at Goldshire and Eastvale Logging Camp, then see WG is up and queue for it. I get in with 2 minutes to spare and still able to help kill a siege on our steps, several horde, then solo a hunter, unfortunately needing to pop mirrors and finish him off.

Disarmed

Sep13

I log in and say hello to Brd, and do my fishing daily which is Disarmed again.  I also fish up a Rusty Prison Key which I use in this chest in the water

I open the chest and receive Chain Gain Leggings (Blizzard, have I told you I love you recently?), Potion of Wild Magic, Pungent Seal Whey, Crude Eating Utensils, and Water Soaked Letter. Here is the letter, for fun

I waited for it to respawn since I had 2 of these keys and this time earned a Prison Manifest, Potion of Speed, Water Soaked Letter, and Crude Eating Utensils again and another bottle of moonshine.

I get in a WG battle and start out as Arcane, but my survivability and skill flexibility makes me unhappy and I switch back to frost.  I do a lot of Ice Lance spamming since it allows me to run, SPAMMING IT, to catch up to sieges and continue to do damage while still moving.

I die at least twice to a horde be paladin named Xiv around Sunken but unfortunately most of that was due to video lag, running into horde before they faded in on my screen.  Oh well.  I get him back later on a few times, as well as another BD paladin named Safety. I blow kisses both times.

They only manage to breach east and we win when the towers go down near the end. Unfortunately for the attackers, low numbers means you either have everyone in a vehicle with no on foot defenders, or you have a few vehicles with defenders, which can still be taken out fairly easily.  You need a sizable force to properly defend a vehicle since you have to shut down people like me willing to suicide just to break it up.

Oh you healers

Sep12

I get in on a guild run, my old one, with the mage and we get down Rotface. Putricide is another story however and it feels like we’re back in May when this shit first started coming out and no one knew what to do. We wipe when our warlock, who is forever making mistakes, bombs a group of us with the orange slime and I die.

On the way back a healer DC’s and doesn’t come back so we’re basically ruined for the night. We try to go to Blood Prince but wipe on trash (though I blink, run and inviz and survive) and we call it. Well, that was fun. One boss.

I do my fishing daily and call it a night.
