Ding32!

Druids aren't the only ones that hibernate. I'd been hibernatin for a few weeks while my cousin Zujoo grew up. But now I'm back. I picked up an awesome hammer that gave me ~23dps, 11str, 4stm and a 2.5 attack speed. My wonderful guildie Darkkon called his cousin(alt) and had it crafted just for me. And I'm using this new axe!... new stuff all around. I think +48 str, +54agi, and 13.69% crit is pretty good for my season. I also found a great shield off of a night elf druid guarding their crappy treasure north of the Stonetalon MOuntains. Oh I didn't mention that? Yeah some lazy blood elf with a grudge against night elves told me to kill Ordanus(he's a centaur night elf.. you know 4 legs, normal torso) and she would reward me. Her reward was telling me that the night elves had this 'awesome' treasure trove in the north west. Yeah right... it just had a ring, some bleh heavy mail gear, and a shirt that was okay. I'm still wearing the shirt.

A little shiny yellow thing . . .

Bah! The little yellow dots drive me nuts! There is a new addition to the Dammerung clan. His name is Arthes, which I have been told is very similar to the name of the really bad guy who did some really bad thing in the WOW lore. This was not intentional, I just wanted him to have a name similar to Arthur, legendary king and knight. Arthes is a hulking Draenei paladin who's having fun bashing and hammering things. He decided to pick up herb-garthering, which brings me to the main point: I hate the little yellow dots! Yes, it means there's an herb waiting for me to pick up. Yes, more herbs=good things. But I find myself following the dots no matter where I was headed or where the little dot is located. So I end up in the most out-of-the-way places. I can't stop-it's like the color red to a bull. Bah again! It's like BBB with his trees. Just one more! Sorry, after this I'll stop. Really! Dammy made a Draenei hunter, a little dainty thing called Kylii

A post!

So Beowulfa recieved the Burning Crusade as one of her many christmas presents. As a side note, she also recieved a picture of a chick with a pet lion. Sort of like Angharad. Anyways, we're poking Drenai characters in a "ooo that would be cool" kind of way. Since it was her birthday present and all... and if the characters were not BElf or Spacegoat then it wouldn't be using the present! So we're going to at least get them to 10. And BElf's are too... pretty in an ugly way. I don'ts like them. She doesn't like them(much?). I said Spacegoat. She quickly created a male drenai priest(this morning). We talked about it at lunch and she's going to make a paladin instead, I think. I slightly warned her off of priest because I've heard they solo about as well as a warrior heals. I'm.... undecided. We have warrior, paladin, mage, priest, shaman, hunter. I've been told I need to be something tankish. So mage and priest are gone. I'm definin

How life rolls

I currently have the following key bindings: 1 = The really fast mana inefficiant healing spell highest current rank 2 = Lightning bolt highest current rank 3 = Earth Shock highest current rank 4 = Lightning shield HCR 5 = Flame Shock HCR Middle Mouse Roll up = Mana Stream Totem Middle Mouse Roll down = Macro: /cast bloodfury(orc racial) /cast Strength of Earth Totem HCR Middle mouse click = The fire totem that shoots bolts of fire for low damage at mobs. Shift-M-Mouse roll down = Ghost wolf(1sec cast) Shift-M-Mouse roll up = Healing Wave HCR My current fighting style goes something like this: 1) Cast lightning bolt at mob 2) Throw down mana and SoE totem, for elites use the recast icon of bloodfury to know when my totems wear off. 3) Mob gets in melee range, begin beating. 4) Save earth shock for runners or for mob spell casters 5) Use key binding = "1" if needbe 6) If I a haven't used ES and I don't need a heal and my lightning shield is down then recast.

The difference between RP and XP.(RAMBLE)

Before I start. Let me say this: Windfury windfury how I love thee, you make me so happy, windfury! When you crit, I start to cry, tears of joy pour from my eyes! Windfury Windfury how I love thee, you make me so happy, Windfury! Okay, now that that painful example of why orcs are not named Byron or Tennyson is out of the way, I can get on to my main subject. I love the way Shaman characters look. I love the idea of the totems, the mail, the crit based combat, the extra hits. I mean I'm a combination of the bard in FFXI and a barbarian from dnd. Huge axe, aoe buffs with 2 min durations. I love the idea that I'm a wandering diplomat between us(races with skin) and them(the elemental races). I even love the playstyle(WINDFURY) again. Reincarnation was always my favorite WCIII hero ability, doing 600+ damage in 1 white swing at level 30... its only happened once but when it happens you stop EVERYTHING and think... did I really just do that? This is what I mean about RP. I mean thi

Merry Christmas!

'Twas the morning of Christmas, when all through the house, The children were active, disturbing a mouse. The stockings, all hung by the chimney with care, Gave ample proof that Saint Nick had been there. The children all jumped with glee from their beds And pounded our door, as we lifted our heads. And Mother, who was rather irritable said, "It's four in the morning, now get back to bed!" Then Mama in her gown and I in my cap, Settled to bed for a four hour nap. At eight that same morning, there arose such a clatter, I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter. Away from my bed, I jumped like a flash, It had come from the kitchen, and there I did dash. The tree was alight, the candles did wink And the light from the kitchen caused me to blink. Then what to my wondering eyes should appear, Then my children looked guilty, and close to tears. My daughter, Molly, so lively and quick Gave a gulp of her throat and a lick of her lips And with these two gestures she began

Who got me into Wow . . .

That would be Dammy . He brought out the inner nerd in me. Before I met him I would have described myself as athletic, bookwormish (it wasn't me that read through that dictionary for fun), and so NOT a gamer. Then Dammy and I met one fateful day in a bookstore and my doom was sealed. He started asking me to try various games to see if there was one we could play together. I was on a roll, not liking any of them, when he introduced me to WOW. I was instantly hooked by the character creation screen. I started playing around with a dwarf, finally settled on a warrior. I called her Adalwolfa . (I created a priest while Dammy wasn't around and promptly got her killed and have since avoided the healer types.) I look back and sigh about how much I didn't know about WOW and about gaming lingo. I still have to ask for translations as I'm reading through guild/general/trade chat. But I'm officially a nerd/geek/ whatever you call the gaming type. I was at my wo

Christmas christmas so far away.

Waiting on christmas is slow and boring. A thought I had while waiting. Imagine if you are a new raider, and you guys just down [X] mob and all the plate wearing people rejoice as this awesome plate item drops. You are just happy to be here and not doing anything so you scroll over to click on pass and BLAM your daughter reaches forwards and taps your mouse button and GAH YOU ROLLED NEED! Oh crap you win the roll. So here you are... a new raider and you've just accidently NINJA'd on an awesome rare epic amazing item you can't use.(In this example you are a Shaman). So in my mind, the Shaman goes like this: "oh crap guys... oh crap oh crap.... I didn't mean to... what do I have to do to pay for that.. how can I make up taking something that is rare and hard to get?" Shaman offers to pay all plate repair bills, and forfeits all DKP or other similair gear point systems. Anyways... my silly morning daydreams aside, what measures does your g
