Presumptions.

By
Ever since my druid hit outlands I have been ignoring theory crafting. This wasn't a conscious decision just something that sort of happened. So whether or not a class was getting shinies in the expansion wasn't something I really knew about.

Thanks to BRK and WI's Rossi I had heard about the shiny new Hunter toys and Prot warrior awesome. Also I had picked up that Ret Pallies were getting their day in the sun, and that pallies in general seemed to be happy.

Rogues? Who knows, I don't play one currently, and none of my family members play one as their main.

Mages? All I know is that they always seem to be worried about how much better Warlocks are. Also I saw at least one person list of a full damage chart and the mage was on the bottom. This lead me to think they were getting nerfed.

Warlocks? Corruption is now instant cast without talents. I didn't pay attention to anything elese.

Shaman? Enhancement is moving further towards hunter gear, a move that makes me sad as I like STR as a stat. Also I keep hearing things like "you'll want spell damage and to use flametongue". I hate flametongue. The rest of the class, no clue.

Druids? I liked everything I saw. I'm even excited that they are getting feral nerfed because that means they were awesome. Druids are my alliance class no matter how much I hate them some days.

Deathkniggits? Looking fowards to blood spec, unholy looks dumb.

===============================================================
So then I talked a bit with Unbound last night while playing my new rogue on the mac without a mouse(Orclette had the mouse and was having a ball with it).

Unbound told me how awesome Ice mages seem right now, and that fire looked great as well.

Unbound also explained why Resto shaman was looking amazing right now. Although he did bemoan Ele and Enh.

Which led me to think, it seems really easy to get a general idea that only one or two classes are getting buffed in Wrath and that the rest suck. And I wonder if that general idea is actually entirely wrong. I'm not saying that Marksmen hunters aren't going to be wishing they were another spec, but when you start focusing on what you DON'T have, you can miss a lot of shinies that you do have.

I had presumed that mages sucked in wrath because -noone- I read has posted anything about ANY mage shinies.

I had presumed that resto shaman were hurting because I saw that enh and ele didn't look exciting.

I had presumed that pallies were boring because... oh wait they are. It's mostly Ishvi's fault not though Grai, don't worry he'll reroll and then you guys will be cool again.



P.S. Noobed you need to write up a big huge post on why Mages rock right now.

INSANITY. Day 2.

By
My thoughts on the Plyometric Cardio Circuit? My floor has never looked so appealing. And I never thought I'd be one of the "yellers." In exercise lingo (not another lingo!:) that means you yell when things get hard. Oh bother. Another pun. Anyway, Shaun T's Basketball Drills had me yelling. And grunting as good as those humongo body builders do. And as good as Tim the Tool Man Taylor:) Damm's thoughts were that he didn't push as hard as he could've BUT this time he was standing at the end of the workout. And as soon as he actually sat down he couldn't get back up:) We aren't going to change what we eat yet. We were already ingesting good-for-you foods. According to the caloric needs calculater Damm should be eating around 3,000 calories working out 6 days a week and I should be at 2,400. I'm already at 2,000-2,200 because I'm still the main food source of the Little Man. Not sure where Damm falls on the calorie count. Anyway, not upping ou...

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

Pedestels

By
Me and someone had an interesting conversation yesterday. Prompting this short question post: Who do you put on a pedestel? Who do you look down on? Don't answer either of these please. I don't really want to know. I just did a personal inventory and realized there are an awful lot of people that I either elevate or disparage for reasons that are not really valid reasons. I know there are people I've thought horrible things about who were really just normal regular joes who were smart in other areas but inexperianced in the arena I knew them in. I know there are people I've thought of as amazing self assured genius specimens of physical perfection....who were really insecure, incompetant, losers who wanted more from life. Anways this is just serious thoughts from the Orc.
