Two, and three.

We're off for vacationing! Blogging should be sparse until monday 3/31/08. In the meantime I leave you with this idea I had for WotLK shaman talents and totems: Totemic Revenge[Elemental] When attacked and destroyed your totems do 100%/200% of the mana cost to create them as Nature damage against the person destroying them. Spirit Totems[Enhancement] This spell allows the next totem you create to be catagorized as a Spirit Totem. Allowing you to have 5 totems up at a time. Mercy of Life Totem(Water)[Restoration] This totem lasts 2 min or until its charge is used up. The first person who drops below 30% of their health within the radius of this totem will recieve an autocrit max rank healing wave at no mana cost to you. Talents and +healing apply. Chains of Earth(Earth) This totem binds the first hostile that enters its radius. Once bound they cannot leave the radius of the totem for 20 seconds or until the totem is destroyed. Trinkets do not work on this totem as totems are easily ...

I guess that's a milestone of some sort. Read Dammy's post below as I'm posting over him. The big news today is: I'm 51! Dinged last night killing massive amounts of turtles. You see, I'm on a mission. A mission to get 56 Turtle Scales, 42 Worn Dragonscales, and 60 Scorpid Scales. Oh, and also 8 Hearts of Fire and 4 Core of Earth thingies. These mats will make all the mail armor in my leatherworking repertoire plus a Helm of Fire, which I think I want for me. So, what's the best place to get these? I know Tanaris for the Scorpid Scales and Hinterlands for the Turtles (before I knew I'd want them I put 60-80 Turtle Scales on auction 'cause they sell so well). I've gotten some worn dragonscale from the Swamp of Sorrows but they drop very, very infrequently and I usually get green dragonscale instead. Heart of Fire I'm think the Searing Gorge. Core of Earth no clue. So if any of you guys know a better place to grind let me know. That...

Its sort of hard to see. But it is sorted by healing done. We were behind by 150-300 points most of the match. The Alliance had 1840 when we had 1740. Tremor? Owns. Magma? fun for a lark. Healing without being seen? awesome. Dying to 10000 alliance when you are seen? Not so awesome. The match turned when I put on my shield and went pure healer. Not sure if the timing suggests anything but yeah. Yay for the 140~+ healing I get from my AP.

Although we Green Poxers had many successes last night in the WC today we are not celebrating. We are in mourning. Why Wulfa? you ask? It's Elips. He has left us. I know, I know, my gentle readers. You want to know why. You start to ask questions. "Was it you, Wulfa? Did you tell him he was smelly one too many times? Or maybe it was Abuto-did she backstab him? Did Raaksi put his totems too close for comfort? Or maybe Trif-naw, it wasn't Trif. He's cutie-itchy butt. Why? why did he leave?" It wasn't for any of those reasons. In fact his reasoning was rather boorish. You see, somehow Elips had captured the fancy of a VERY attractive Blood Elf lady. And in the interest of keeping her love for him alive (haha, 'cause he's not. alive.) he decided that he needed to spend more time with her. Very wise, if you ask me. Don't know what she sees in him, smelly as he is, but who can tame the heart? So he is currently wooing his ladylove and cannot, alas, run f...

In a party. A warrior tank. These guys love WF totems. All tanks love totems but there is more love from a warrior for WF then from a druid for GoA. If I was resto... I think paladins would love Mana Tide just as much. Melee DPS. I'm at my best the more people I have swinging pain-sticks around me. Hello rogues/warriors/paladins/enh shammies. Someone to heal... don't really care who. All of you healers bring a lot of nice to the table. In gear. Str! Attack Power! Agility! Crit stuff! Stamina! Right now in pre-BC gear thats all you got...and thats what I want in that order. Too bad that STR seems to be reserved for those plate people who hate me. Slow Axes/Maces/Fists. The slower the better. Those level 60 PvP 2.9 axes make me drool. In a guild. Much like a party I'm looking for a guild full of people who blossom near me and my totems and my unleashed rage. This means you Warriors! Rogues! I want a guild heavy on the melee, light on the blasty. Then I'll be contributing ...

Not me. Dammerung. I may have mentioned this before but I'm constantly bombarded with "Can I have 15-20 gold?" To be fair, D provides me with approximately 1/3 of my auctionables so he does have a right to ask for the money .... but it's my money. I'm in charge of it. (Sheesh I'm a cranky little bugger in the morning. Sorry for the Scrooge in me comin out like that ......) And I don't spend frivolously. Most of the time. Until last night. And it wasn't really frivolous. You see, there was a Bag of Many Hides on sale. For half of the usual asking price. So I bought it (I had discussed this with D earlier). For 30 gold! More than I have ever spent on myself before! And then I equipped it and there was soooooooooooo much room. Very exciting. And 'cause I'm so good with AH flipping (not really, just moderately successful but I have a big ego-think Perry from Scrubs) we're within 2 gold of remaking the money I spent. But that's NOT what I ...

And for my third post today I'm deffinitly changing the layout of the blog. I want something a little brighter. Also I've been playing around with httml tags.. like "&nsbp". The problem is that once I finish editing the post and lining everything up(which takes a LONG time using that tag) if I try to go back into it after publishing it removes the tags and replaces them with blanks...which when I republish after my changes will be deleted. I want my spaces to stay dang it! Thank you. ------------------------------------- Edited to say that "[pre][/pre]" worked. Also http://twoandahalforcs.wordpress.com Go there and tell me what you think! I'm pondering the wordpress stuff again.

I played a round of AB last night as a small test to give me an idea of what I'll be using. And I wrote a dear-abby letter to one of the Grandmasters of pvp and pvpblogging. The results? A deep and abiding shame that I had not been using Tremor totem. A new look at purge, and a rework of my pvp hotkey bar. Here is what the bar will look like(the lower ability is shift modified): 1 2 3 LHW Purge ES HW Purge(Focus) ES(Focus) 4 5 6(Z) LS Flame Shock Set Focus GW Frost Shock Target Focus 7(F) 8(G) 9(X) Chain Heal Two Hander WF Totem Chain Light Frost Shock Grounding 0(MMUP) -(MMD) =(MM Click) Tremor Mana Flametongue Totem Earthbind PR Totem Magma So I have 1-9 accessable easily by my left...

*reads Matticus' comment the way it was intended* /quietly converts the meaning into something else all together. /responds indignant! Womanly SHAMMY? I don't think so! The Shammy is a MANLY shammy! Full spiders and puppy dog tails and stuff! Don't get him confused with that hunter chick! She smells like flowers and girly hunter stuff. He smells manly! Like a half dead kodo in a sewage pipe! Rawr totems and axes! In your face growling! GRRR... priests. Can't even tell which Orc wears loincloth in the family. Now excuse me I need to go ask if I can have my allowance. /flexes in a manly way! ------------------------------------------------------ p.s. thanks for something to post about.... it was a slow brain day.

The Plan! A while back Megan left me a comment or replied to one of mine on her blog saying that level 49 was a good level for Enh . Shaman PvP . Based on this and the fact that I'm a -little- worn out from leveling 3 times in the last three nights I've played Dammerung . I plan to stop and farm me up an axe or two . I've looked and as far as I can see these axes are -amazing- for an enh shaman. 2.9 speed. High dps .... yummy. Also Thottbot doesn't show any major upgrades from them for at least 5 levels. Which is also nice. The curious. So I wondered whether a 2 hander would be better for PvP than dual wielding. Seeing as I will probably be jousting a lot anyways as a melee person would it be worth it to equip a big 2 hander and pray for a WF - Proc ? Or should I stick with my dual axes and their +6% hit? Both would get unleashed rage and flurry. The gear. My gear is highly lacking in Stm at the moment which if I was planning on staying 49 for any longer than it t...

BBB, bless him summed up my thoughts on WoW in this awesome eyeopener . My wife and I play WoW because we find it fun to play together. *I* play wow because it saves me money I would spend constantly on the next new thing. I remember very clearly my first experiance with a 'short' game. Beyond Good and Evil came out and had the option of playing in spanish. At the time I very badly wanted to play a game in a different language so that I would start to learn that language. Me and my brother picked it up and started it. 8 hours later we were done...and immensly frustrated. The game ended so quickly. Other games had as well but this was the first one I had ever finished in one day.(Normally the 8hours is 3 weekday nights.) WoW and other MMORPG's are amazing in that they have seemingly endless content, huge worlds full of story, and they cut my game bill from 30-60$ a month to 13.99 or what ever the three month rate is. Go read BBB's article he makes this point more ...
