Guild stuffs.

Experienced my first 'raid' ever. I enjoyed it. Granted this was about as low stress as you can get. We had 10 people(6 level 37-55) and (4 level 17-23) and we cleared RFK. Whee. Mail helmet(12agi/12str), polearm(16agi), agi dagger, stm dagger, and some awesome shoulders(something or other mantle) dropped for us. Even only gaining 10 xp per mob I still gained about 2.5-3k xp. Which at level 19(Serayamuij) is awesomely. Mostly it was just a guild event. We(Wulfa, myself and my brother) went along more as a "participate in anyway possible) than an actual help. Because we said we wanted to come the downgraded from mauridin?(the instance in desolace) to RFK. Still we all enjoyed it and the only person to die in the instance was the level 23 mage who kept trying to pull EVERYTHING in an attempt to speed us up. He died..4 maybe 5 times. Yay for fun guilds. Rogue is level 10. Priest is on hold. Dammerung played a lot last night but after 3 deaths to me trying t...

The real post.

There will be a post from me! later today. Just busy working on something to do something when something else happens at work. This post is simply a place holder and will go away when my post really happens. /cheer TJ is taking over BRK from the inside... She's an executive icky now! Any day now I expect it to become BigRedPonytail.com and feature cool videos on how to annoy your sister and work at the same time. /slide back to productivity. ---------------Fake Break before real post.---------------------- Dammerung has been getting pretty upset with me recently. Seems I spend all my time playing with Serayamuij, and Muij, and Xinfoo and none of it spending time properly getting him xp. I mean I helped 'Wulfa get her 400 million scorpid bits for some orc in the badlands. And I tried to save this poor goblin lass in Desolace from the Centaur camps just north of that troll village where the bats drop you off... but she kept getting too many centaur involved and wouldn't slo...

The killin' duo

Guess who we played last night? 'Wulfa and Dammy! I was sooo excited to finally be using ALL the hunter powers I had grown so accustomed to. We were in Tanaris, getting scorpid scales for my leatherworking quest. They don't skin off of the icky scorpids very much, so we spent quite a bit of time wandering all over the area looking for more scorpids. I've almost got all that I need but still need a few more. Dammy had been worried that his shaman didn't mesh well with my hunter. My pet tanks, I can heal her, and I'm fairly powerful meself. So I don't need need anybody. But last night was awesome. Poor Susan doesn't have dash yet (pure laziness on my part) so Dammy would frequently get to the mob before she did, his windfury/stormstrike thingy would kick in, I'd maybe get off a shot, and the poor thing was dead. On to the next one. We could have easily taken on 4-5 mobs at once, but Tanaris is rather sparse and its mob population spread apart m...

Killin's my game, Hunter's the name

I'm a hunter. I've toyed with other classes and so far I've succeeded in getting them past 10 once (that would be Gryphaen, my druid). I love the companionship of your pet, the ability to name them (I love naming things). I love being able to solo almost anything. I love the BeastMaster I've become, the bundle of claw and bite that is my Susan, near indestructable. I love the independence being a hunter brings. I like ranged weapons. -break for RL nap with Orclette. By the by, if you've never taken a nap with your little one I highly recommend it. Waking up with orclette pawing at your hair and smiling for you, waiting for you to wake up, is priceless.- Return to why I play my class. Have I mentioned bestial wrath? ice traps? all the cool shots? And that's just up to 44. I've no idea of what happens after that lvl. I think also I like hunters because of my early love for the tales of Arthur, Robin Hood, and in general swords, crossbows, and horse...

Posting out of sequence.

Copied from Kestrel because I'm too lazy to do my own linkage:P Over at Blog Azeroth , Siha of Banana Shoulders suggested we (the Blog Azeroth community) all write on a common topic. To get the ball rolling, she proposed "What do you enjoy about the class you play the most?" Hmm. I enjoy Astral Recall the most. That and reincarnation cut down on so much travel time. It makes life sweet and happy. I like being able to ress people with Ancestral Spirit and sic' my void walker on them while Corruption and Curse of Agony tick their health down. Power Word: Shield is simply awesome and Renew makes healing easy. Oh and WINDFURY ala STORMSTRIKE is heaven, well at least when I have my seals up and can follow it up with a well timed Judgement. Oh, bother. This is exactly the problem. Which class do I play the most? Sure Shaman is my highest level ever(41). But I've pushed 3 warlock characters to 18-19 and spent lots of time in BG with them. And at least one ...

Very long but at least its organized.

My "Secret" was going to be a level 30 disc priest that I was planning on unveiling in about a week or nine. Dammerung is still being played on Mon-Thursday, but Serayamuij is not. Muij took her place about 10 seconds after he hit level 5. I have a few things I'm going to try and remember to touch on: 1) The party roles talk with Beowulfa. 2) Priests leveling up. My experiances and my goals. 3) Disc Talents. Unbreakable Will or Wand Specialization. 4) Disc Talents. What to take when you can't take everything. ----------------------------------------------------- Okay topic #1. I know a little tiny itty bit about being a tank from reading blogs, and tanking in FFXI at one point. So when I heard about someone's Druid I decided I wanted to heal her and we were going to 'practice' tanking certain things much like you practice kiting or ice trapping as a hunter. So I requested that she try to -always- pull 2-3 mobs at once, so she can practice tanking multiple ...

On butts

"Saying you have a squishy butt isn't funny? What if I say it's your bear butt that's squishy? Is that funny?" "No, Dammy, it's not." This is an example of the massive teasing I've been subjected to since my druid attained bear form. I wasn't going to mention her 'cause I didn't think she'd make it this far but I got to lvl 10 and thought what the heck, I'd go ahead, get bear form, see what it's like to play a tank. But backtrack to when I was getting bear form. I traveled to Moonglade, followed the yellow question mark, was told to go find the big bear spirit. I jog myself over ('cause really, until lvl 20 you can't say that your character runs ) and notice that there's a lvl 33 NE druid following me. He's not bothering me so no big deal. I talk to the big bear, get told to go somewhere else, and start jogging back. The NE asks if he can tag along. I blinked, sat for a moment trying to figure out w...
