Oops, I did it again

I said I wouldn't do it. I was tired of doing it. I have 6 or 7 already. But I was weak, and the allure was too much. I created another hunter. In my defense I don't have a Blood Elf hunter and I thought it would be cool to have one. They have that mana tap thing that has come in handy once or twice. I came out of the starting area with more money than I have ever come out of a starting area with. I got her to lvl 8 with no problems (took me about an hour and a half) and, when Orclette started her second nap, got her to lvl 10 and did the pet training quest. Remembered that I had a talent point to spend so opened that up. Thought for a bit. I have 2 BM hunters and I think they rock, but do I want a third? Should I try Marksmanship? Survival? After a few more moments pondering I plunked my point into BM. It's just too good. I chose a lion-cat for my pet, an elder springpaw, to be exact. Trained her, and noticed that she already has claw, rank 2. Yippee! I hav...

A group is a loop with goop eating soup(Friday's Post).

I found a topic about groups. Which got me started thinking. I've never grouped with anyone other than wulfa and sib, and I've never raided. Which makes me an expert ;P on how groups and raids should be setup! Muahahahhaha. For the perfect group: Tank: Bear tank(I likes) Healer: Resto Shaman(Mostly for the dual totems) DPS: BM Hunter Utility/DPS: Enh Shaman Utility/DPS: Cat My idea for this is: Lots of melee dps around the mob(Pet/bear/cat/enh shaman). This means they get to share the windfury totem and gain benifits from the bear tanks fairie fire, and from the pets group attack buff(I don't know what it is called). Also not sure if fairie fire stacks but if it does then the cat tosses it too and whee off to the races. Also the crowded melee means that Resto shaman gets to spread lots of chain heals around. The only thing I don't like.... low on CC. If "moar CC PLS" then swap the cat for another hunter(SV or BM), or maybe a Demonology lock. (can rogue's ...

A'Wulfa Woe

I can't find the little tab that lets me change this to purple so I guess I'm stuck with boring black. But to 'Wulfa. I find that running around killing mobs, battling the Alliance, and carrying my 16-slot bags are just not enough physical exercise for this here orc mama. So I hit the weight room a few times during the week to hoist a few weights, run a few laps, all without my armor on, of course. It's also a great opportunity to show off just a wee bit, lifting weights that the old orcs who come at the same time (we're all trying to avoid the young male orcs. They're loud and stinky and like to walk around looking important between sets) could only lift in their heyday. But what with the Winter Festival and all we stayed up really late feasting and merrymaking several nights in a row so I didn't feel like going yesterday. Figured I'd go that night. So once Dammerung had finished fixing the problem those Tauren bankers had and assumed Orclette du...

At least its a post.

Work has been crazy. I've only been working as a programmer analyst for a year and a quarter now and I am continually frustrated about how tiring it is just sitting all day long. I feel so tired, and I haven't really done anything(physically). Too tired to play. I played for 20 min last night, and just stopped. I was so tired of staring at a screen. Work is both boring(waiting on files to be restored) and overwhelming(my first end of year where I'm actually involved). Beowulfa will be probably posting tomorrow and I will hopefully be back on friday.

2008

My first thought in this new year of 2008? My brother stole my t.v. I'm the insane morning person who gets up at the crack of dawn and that's what I discovered when I pattered into our living room. He's not awake yet and won't appreciate me coming down into his basement lair to find out where he took my t.v. I'm not sure my t.v. is worth going down into his bachelor hole for. It's all dark and creepy (it's a basement. I don't like basements). And the lucky duck is off today so he'll sleep til noon at least. Bah. He's one of those crazy people who actually stay up for New Year's Eve. I'm rather proud of myself-I think I was awake when the clock turned 12 a.m. We were soothing little Orclette back into sleep. She had a rather rough night-we went to a party and she was an angel until 9:30 p.m. at which point we retreated to a nice quiet bedroom where she fell asleep and I read a book (/gasp). I actually got halfway through it :) When Dammy f...

I need a vacation

Christmas vacation was nice. But I need another vacation to recover from that one. So does Wulfa. She's been haulin' butt to get to lvl 39 and now she has to stay there. Dammy wants to get a mount at the same time and he's only lvl 33. I understand. It would be hard to hear your mate crow about her new wolfie when you still have several lvl's to go before you get yours. But Dammy wants 500 gold by the time he reaches lvl 39. No problem, but exactly how am I supposed to contribute when I can't get any xp? Run Wailing Caverns over and over again. The greens that drop Zujoo can disenchant. Anything higher than that and he has a bit of trouble getting the soul dust etc. that sells so nicely on the AH. And the light leather does add up eventually. 120 light leathers=30medium leather=6 heavy leather=1 thick leather. But I decided that it would be better to just play an alt while Dammy catches up. So I rolled a Blood Elf paladin. She's pretty and dainty...

And ding! 33

Klaki stopped in yesterday to wish me and wulfa a happy new year and a merry belated Christmas. I was so stunned it took me like 5 min to figure out where I knew the name from. I had to scan my entire guild list first :P. Speaking of our guild things have livened up a bunch recently. I had started a practice of congratulating people who I recognize if their level was greater than the level I saw them last at. But Saturday R----- and I spent the whole morning chatting, and now we are both trying to help Beowulfa level her LW. She is at 228 now and I'm trying to focus on doing quests that involve killing skinnables. R------ is also trying to get people to use his jewelry and stuff. So I volunteered my fingers. I'm on a pvp server.. so I don't mind when the alliance come through and kill everything. Even when they kill of my quest mobs and my innkeeper and my flight master. But when Ally priests mindcontrol all of the city mobs and make them walk off the cliff...
