In regard to two posts ago.

(This one)

Lady Vashj -

Thanks for rolling over and dying. So glad to have my main *and* my alt have your vial. And fishsticks.

I'd like your belt, by the way. Mind dropping it?

Lots of love,
Me

Count Chocula Anetheron -

Thanks for dropping your staff. I love it muchly. It matches my outfit.

Keep dying,
Me

Al'ar -

I like my side of fried chicken to go with my Kael'thas dinner. Too bad we haven't killed him yet.

Extra Crispy Style,
Me

Void Reaver -

I'm sorry I haven't called. Things have been busy. Tai really wants to see you but I've been making her play with Kael. I'll see if I can't convince the raiders to pop in and say hi to you.

XOXO,
Me


And now for some new letters...

Kael'thas (or, The Thas) -

You are a tough motherfucker! We're so close to killing you though. We just need to get our shit together through Phase 3. It is the weak spot. Alternatively, you could just surrender your damn vial. Need the title please kthx.

Frustrated,
Me

Archimonde -

When The Thas goes down... consider yourself On Notice.

Eagerly awaiting the moment,
Me

Officially, our guilds are 6/6 SSC, 3/4 TK, 4/5 Hyjal, 3/9 BT. I'm happy to say that I feel like Dusk's gear has gotten flippin' ridiculous. I can't wait to get more T6 for her. :3

On Friday, I should be getting my beta invite for WotLK. I am incredibly excited. Go go Gnomish Death Knight! XD

I am planning on playing Alliance during the beta so that I can see the Alliance-side quests in Outland and in Northrend. My only high-level Alliance character is 61 and I don't have the patience to play her.)

Once I gain access, I plan on using this blog for documentation of my time playing with the DK class, and what I learn about the new druid and hunter talents. Probably paladin as well--he's 66 now, shouldn't be too hard to get him to at least 67, hopefully 68, before I copy him over.

Anayway, look forward to it!

Welfare Attunement.

So, 2.4. 3/4 TK and 5/6 SSC still, but 3/5 Hyjal. And we one shot Mags (who is now immortalized as Bagtheridon). :)

I have mixed feelings on the attunement drop. Overall though, I'm glad to go to Mount Hyjal (and Black Temple, if only to get our asses handed to us). Not only do I get to induldge my inner lore whore, but I get to do new content, and that is always awesome.

Speaking of new content, the dailies for the Shattered Sun Offensive win x 1000. I finally got my guildie paid back for the gold loan for my epic flying skill and have money to spare. I am so happy.

With the defeat of Magtheridon, I scored the T4 chestpiece, and thusly, a complete set of T4. This makes me very happy. Also, the title! Dusk is now a Champion of the Naaru. :D

Not much else to add for right now, so here are a few notes to various bosses:

Lady Vashj-

Stop being such a bitch to kill. We want fishsticks. And your vial.

Also, re: Naj'entus- maybe you should send him a fruit basket or something. He's doing a lot of killing in your name. You should be more thankful. Maybe then he'd stop being such a bastard to kill.

No love,
Me

Anetheron-

Drop your goddamn staff. No, seriously. Do it twice, even, so I can get it on the second Suicide.

Terribly vexed,
Me

Al'ar-

Why the fuck did they buff you? Why. The. Fuck. You are already hard enough to kill as it is. Also, your adds are stupid. And so are you. Nah-ner-nah-ner-boo-boo.

Made of epic fail,
Me

Loot--er, Void Reaver-

I'm sort of wondering why they buffed you, too. Fighting you is definitely more challenging now (for everyone ranged). I do feel the need to say, however...

IT DOESN'T MAKE A BIT OF DIFFERENCE, GUYS. THE BALLS ARE INERT.

So glad she's melee,
Me

Shadow Council is made of fail.

Well, those poor bastards that did Vashj on Sunday got booted after try number two--SC went down like a sack of shit. The server itself came back up after a few minutes, but no one could access their character lists. WEAK SAUCE, BLIZZ.

Anyway, I ended up not getting invited--our raid leader stacked the group heavily in ranged for the first few gos. Maybe I'll get to go tonight, but we'll see.

Oh hell.

Okay, first of February. Hello, blog.

The guild conglomeration has made a lot of progess in the past two months. We are 5/6 in SSC, which is amazing to even be able to say. We did 5/6 all on Tuesday night, actually. 4.5 hours.

Here's a few newsworthy things in the world of WoW:

First, this makes me happy. Even if it's just a minor victory, it is some sort of victory against gold farmers. Rargh.

Second, Druids are getting a buff to Lacerate in 2.4. "The Feral bears will be seeing an improvement with Lacerate dealing additional damage based on your attack power. (from the class forums)" This is really awesome because a) druids get retarded awesome attack power from their weapons and b) Lacerate is a primary tool in threat-building. (My rotation: Mangle, Lacerate until the 6 sec cooldown on Mangle is up, repeat... it gets the job done.)

The other changes being made for 2.4, like warlocks *finally* being able to summon people into instances, sound like they are further streamlining the game experience. I am glad of it. In that particular instance, the last thing I like to do is wait around for someone to get to the goddamn instance so *then* we can summon them.

/end news tidbits

I feel like a dickhead because I have yet to mention my second 70 in this blog. Taidiriel, or Tai, is a blood elf hunter. I am having a blast playing her. I've been putting her through some Kara runs and so she is getting some epixx (see: Sunfury Bow of the Phoenix!). I've gone Gruul's a few times with her as well, in the hope that I will get the T4 pieces, since the place is pretty much on farm status now. No such luck yet, but we'll see what happens.

Expect to see some screenshots later on, as well as some pictures of the awesome Figure Print I got of Dusk. And it occurs to me I haven't mentioned my acquisition of the WoW Laptop from Dell. Well, there you go. I can has glorious laptop, with which a "golden ticket" for Figure Prints came. Awesome sauce.

Back to work.

I'm still here!

We're winding down on raiding a little for the holidays, but I just want it to be known that we finally downed The Lurker Below. Screenshots to follow.

Also, more phat lootz have been acquired, including the Wildfury Greatstaff from SSC. It is so much love. :D

Expect more after the holidays have passed. Merry Christmas!

Hydross down.

10/28/2007.


I scored Living Root of the Wildheart from him. Also, last week we one-shotted Void Reaver and I got Fel Reaver's Piston. I'm the only character from our guild to get something from both TK: The Eye and SSC right now. I am excited. :)

Something really neat I found out for Fel Reaver's Piston--the HoT effect that occurs from a direct heal can occur from a heal via Improved Leader of the Pack. I've found it's really useful for soloing and for raiding (depending on the situation) to top off my health.

As far as healing goes, however, it's not so great for resto--direct heals do not include HoTs (though the initial cast of Regrowth *does* count). But the 16 mana per 5 seconds is pretty nice.

Holy crap.

Wow, it's been a while since I posted. Many things have happened in the past month in the world of WoW. I am eagerly anticipating patch 2.3.

In the world of Duskflower, things have changed a little bit. Our guilds started running Gruul's on Tuesdays before Karazhan. We can get a full clear in about 45 minutes. Then we split off to do our Kara runs. Last Tuesday, Dusk *finally* got her Tier 4 shoulders, so that makes three pieces of the T4 set. Also, on Saturday, Dusk got Terestian's Stranglestaff, which was another "it's about time" drop.

On Sundays, in place of Gruul's, we have been experimenting in Tempest Keep: The Eye and in Serpentshrine Cavern. Yesterday was our third go (I think) in TK and we actually managed to bring down Void Reaver. It was pretty amazing.



There's more to talk about, but I don't have the time at the moment. Class calls.
