Two, and three.

Yay for guilds. This is the first time ever that I've been part of one and I already see the many benefits to being in one. Guild members are passing along cool shinies, helping with quests, making armor or other stuff for guild members, etc. This will not come as a shock to those of you who have played video games or rpg's before but i am relatively new to the gaming world. Up until recently I did not know that a hunter's pet could learn Claw, Bite, and Dash. Is that sufficient to show my newbyness? Anyway, I have now posted as requested by my orcish hubby and have forgotten to pretend through my writing that I am also an orc. I look like an orc, all shortish and stockyish rather than long and leanish like the elves. Next time I'll try and talk like one. Beowulfa. Edited-by-the-ugly-orc: (when she says she recently learned about bite dash and claw... let me give some perspective: She had already leveled 2 hunters to 38 and 35 and another to 21 and tons of lev...

Wow. The first two 'rounds' of every fight I own. Lots of boom. Hopefully it dies before round 3 though. Thats when my damage drops, mostly due to my mana all going away. This is how all my fights from level 11 to level 12 went: 1) Target mob and start melee autoswing attack(mob is about 25yds? away at this point) 2) Toss up stoneskin(mob is level 13+)... Toss up str+totem(mob is level 12 or less) 3) If I don't forget cast lighting shield. If I do then cast lighting strikespellthingy. 4) Do whatever 3 did not do. 4.5) Cast fire instacast spell. 5) Toss up fire totem that repeatedly blasts the mob. 6) If racial fury skill is up use it. 7) End round 1. 8) Watch all those things hit the mob a 2nd time. 8.5) If have mana cast earth instacast spell. 9) End round 2. 10) If mob is not dead then at this point my lightning balls are gone, my mana is tappedish, and I've lost about 1/2 my hps. Ideas to fix this before playing next: 1) GET A FREAKIN SHIELD.... I swear I canno...

Yeah I'm not a bow wielding, animal feeding, nature lover. So excuse my ignorance. But what is this "kill command" I keep seeing hunter guides talking about.

Now I'm not opposed to a good warchant. And I absolutely love Bryan Boru's March when Beowulfa plays it on her warpipes. But seriously, I don't listen to music. Heck when I'm out fishin' off Durotar's coast... there is no noise other than the ticking of some imaginary clock. I can't even hear the noise a voodootroll makes when I bop it with my rockstick. So I've compiled my own list of things I like to hear that have nothing to do with the music I don't get to listen to. Orclette's laugh. Orclette's burp. A ticking clock in an otherwise soundless room. Three blind gnomes. Good food frying in a pan. The thunk of a dart hitting the dartboard. Keys on a keyboard as someone is typing not to fast, not to slow but just right. Beowulfa's laugh. Birds. A cat purring. A rotating fan on a hot day, with an engine running in the distance. The squeak/creak of a hammock hung on a chain as you swing back and forth. The sound of a tennis/baseball/golf...

Level 9.1 now. Yay...this time it wasn't the orclette's agro bustin chops method that slowed me down. Instead of getting smarter and bigger as fast as I can... I did this \/ Fishing 48 Cooking64 Tailoring19 Skinning 58?(i can't remember how much but it was between 40 and 60.) Also that smexy green lady with the tight leather shirt that bounces when she's filling trolls with sharp pointy death managed to slaughter enough tigers and raptors to get to 10 and qualify herself for a pet. Not yet sure what she'll get but hopefully it will be something suitably orcish....like a raptor. Well I'm going to stop for now. Think green and mean. mfd. Edited: I also managed to get myself some spiffy level 2ish pants pulled right outa the water in a box. Who puts pants in a box? This is obviously some Troll's idea of a good idea. "YAARR I BE TROOOOLL. I NO WEAR PANTS. MAYBE I SHOULD PUT THEM IN A BOX. OH NOES MY PANTS ARE IN A BOX. WHAT SHOULD I DO? I WILL THR...

Yeah he's a bluecow but his thread is crazy relavent. I've been trying to work out how to specc my enh shammy and here we go a guide. A well written guide. Bluecow shammy's are like mages I guess... all smart and bookish and stuff. They probably don't even drink. But wow boy do they write. Good thing I spent my level 6 talent point in learning to read. When I grow up I wanna be just like -him- except different and more like me and more greenish and with bigger teeth and tougher(cus orcs just are) and obviously more smexy, cus orc wife likes my tight tailess butt. Ooo its almost 5pm. Time to gear up and draw some Orclette agro.

This druid wrote a song/poem about a lock that didn't get the gloves he/she wanted. I had just finished reading about this OTHER lock(who now must hate me) and somehow got them confused in my mind. Turns out TJ isn't a gnome.... she's a human... I think... I believe I have unrefutable evidence here . Of course I'm a shaman so what do I know. I mean us shaman... we drink 'special drinks' that let us see elementals and talk to them. AND WE DO WHAT THEY SAY. We're not exactly mages here. Learnin? WARRIORS have more learnin. At least they don't obey things you can only see while drunk. mfd. Yay for slow days at work.

I wish shoulder plates were toggleable like helmets and capes. All these poor level 70's with shoulders so tall that no one can see their face unless they are flying directly over head. This morning I woke up and expressed my shock that someone had ACTUALLY READ what I wrote. My younger brother(a female blood elf hunter) said sarcasticly "They are BLOGGERS. This is what they do." I suppose. But my inner 10 year old is still estatic that someone on the interweb noticed me. Bags!... Bags! How I hate not having bags. Yer out killin the boarpigs and the pinkskins and the scorpids....and you kill like HALF of one and you have no more space. I swapped to this server because my youngest brother(a female blood elf paladin) wanted to play with some friends of ours who already have an established guild. BUT WHERE ARE THE BAGS? I feel like a pirate without rum. I did find a bag off of a wild icky near that cave where all us wittle orclings start at, but then my wife stopped killing...

Okay so I guess I knew that eventually someone -might- come along and read one of my posts. But ijustcreatedthisbloganhourago andoneoftheblogsIreadregularlyhasfoundme andwillshortlybecastingfear I am just not specced for this. I don't have shadow resistance and there is no way in God's Brown Barrens that I can out run someone who probably has an epic mount and 100,000 times the mana I do. ......... Btw. Nice site update. It is a lot prettier. You know who you are.

I was on my way to bed when I suddenly realized that 90% of the places I would currently link are videogame or webcomic related. Now this isn't a bad thing. Nosiree I'm not saying that. But it disturbs me? It unsettles me. I like my WoW. I like my spacemercenaries. But I don't want to just be that. I also like my Kipling and my Snark hunting. I like my hymns and I like worship. I like my history. BUT. I don't do any of those things on the web. The internet, a large tool for so many people, is purely a place of leisure for me. Maybe this blog will help change that. I am a procrastinator pure and simple. But right now... an hour after my usual bedtime I have the odd hope that if I steadily and consistantly blog, then I will want to design my own website. And if I design my own website, then I will want to learn pearl, .net, and other PC based langauges. Heck I might even slowly slide towards starting my own business... or at least going back to college to f...

Hello to all new reader types! If there are any :P My name is D--------. I currently play an Orc Shaman in World of Warcraft. My wife also plays an Orc(as always hunter). Our little half orc isn't quite yet crawling so for her to be playing anything would be a stretch. But she is an attention hog so she'll probably play a warrior.... she's already good at holding agro. Why shaman? Well... I needed to be hybrid because well... it fits my play style. I like to be able to heal a fellow if they need it but I -way- prefer to melee dps. But what about Paladin you say? Let me tell you: Yes your dear little platewearing undead hating psychopaths can almost not be killed...and wow yes they do have nice buffs for all the little people around you but... who likes not doing damage? Not I. Yeah yeah I know that some retrib paladins will tell me they do damage....but I played one to 32 and just can't do that anymore. If you haven't noticed by now I have a bad habit of using a ser...
