Two, and three.

So we're in the MgT, about to down Mr. Big Dude (was his name Kael'Thas? that's the name of our server-maybe that's not it). TripleB is explaining the fight, I'm wishing I had practiced kiting a bit more, and then Dammy busts into the room with that look. The look that says "I've had the child for hours now AND I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE". Turns out the Orclette had been up and crying for awhile. So I left right before the big boss. /cry. Sorry Cass, TripleB, Doozie, and Graim. I know that any one of you would've done the same if it were your kid, but still, I don't like to leave like that. There seems to be a pattern to these wake-ups of Orclette's. Around 11 she'll notice that mommy's not around and start whimpering, which turns into full-out crying when Dammy does not produce me immediately. This continues on until he finally calls me for help, at which point the Orclette gets really paranoid about me leaving her. That mean...

Stale: I simply pointed Wulfa at the S2 gear. For a better idea of starting pvp gear try: http://www.locksucks.com/2008/07/l2pvp-gearing-up/ http://www.locksucks.com/2008/07/l2pvp-resilience/ He'll have more to come later. As you'll see a large portion of your starting gear is the same regardless of class... either: S2 or the rep gear you can get at honored. Since all of this gear is class specific you just get the rep/honor and walk in and buy your gear ding! instant resiliance. But make sure you get the fear breaking trinket FIRST. Wulfa was asking me which battle ground she should play. My thought was AV as she needs the marks for her S2 xbow and honestly AV seems to be the closest to PVE. So here is my ultra n00b guide to AV-Alliance: You start at the yellow circle. If the match is in progress already take the time to pull up your map and see where your team-mates are. Then run to them and do what your class does to help others. As a hunter you are amazing defense. You have...

Yay for another blog to read: http://www.tinythoughts.com/wow/ She's been added to my reader now. Although someone... could have posted about her earlier so I didn't have to go back and read through the PA archives :P. Not that I'm lazily accusing people right before I go home... I'd never do that.

So I'm late to the party but Phaelie's regen math is awesome. Just awesome. In other news... when work is slow I get bored out of my skull. I've tried reading up on Robert Sedgewick's Algorithms in C++ but well my job doesn't use almost any of what he talks about and we don't use C++ so its a bit heavy for reading while work is slow. I need a quiet room and a huge pad of paper. I've already printed off a list of pvp gear for Wulfa so that she knows which battle grounds she'll need to do to get marks/honor for S2 stuff. I've spent a lot of time repeating work Phaelia has already done....and then went and read her blog in more depth(last time these posts posted I wasn't a druid)....she's done a lot more than I have and I'm not going to repeat anymore work. I'm caught up on my cases at work...I keep checking just incase. I'm not comfortable writing my exploritory new home emails while at work. I have 120 blogs/comics I'm subsc...

I'm comparing "Living Spirit" to "Dreamstate". And wondering which one gives me more juice. Lets pretend I have 323 int and 372 spirit. I just made these numbers up but they seemed appropriate for a new resto druid in greens. Before 2.4 regen(level 70) seems to be based on this: 5 * square root of int * spirit * .009327 Dreamstate gives me 32.3 mp5 and mp5SR. Living spirit gives me 46.76 mp5sr and 14mp5. At this point it takes 26.51 spirit to get me 1 mp5. I'm a druid I imagine I'll be inside the 5sr all of the time. ................................. long slow time ................................. spirit/(5 * square root of int * spirit * .009327)*.15*.30 = mp5 gain using living spirit. For the mp5 gained per point of spirit from Living Spirit to be equal to the mp5 gained per point of intellect from Dreamstate you will need to have 2270.654 intellect. Something that will not happen at level 70. So my end ruling? For mp5 I'll want a dreamstate ...

What do you do when you can't call someone because you accidently took their cellphone with you to work? You blog and hope they check their email.

So I was minding my own business, questing in Blade's Edge, when this thing dropped. I finished killing the second dude that had decided he didn't like me and inspected the thing. It was a depleted badge. My first impulse was to label it "vendor trash", but I immediately thought better of that, since there are quite a few cool things I don't know about being 70 and the drops that happen. So I asked my fellow guildies, and the response was something like this: "I'll give you 500! err, how much would you want for it?" me: "Umm, what is it again?" "The Badge of Tenacity!" me: "!!!! Are you serious?!" Yeppers, the Badge of Tenacity dropped for me. Now, it was on BRK's shopping list for getting geared for Kara without running instances, so I was planning on equipping it. I'm still gonna equip it. But I had second thoughts because the first thing anyone said after I excitedly told them what had dropped was "You...

Someone keeps making me want to play a warrior The Orclette had cake. She wasn't very enthused. However, the phone her Great Grandma got her rocked her world. Sigh aka. Moonsongdown aka her ungle(ugly uncle) isn't very enthused but we dont' care because annoying him is joy. And Orclette repeatedly mashing the play the sing-a-song-about-phone-calls button brings me joy. Wulfa did kara. Me and Ishvi had this long drawn out discussion about paladin tanking. I've concluded he might have a clue what he's doing. Which is a scary new thing. Oh and he went and got uncrushable after telling me yesterday that he wasn't. I was all prepped to argue with him about it too. He claims he told me yesterday he was but hadn't been for kara...but I think we all know he's younger than me and thus not as trustworthy about things. We got linked! I'm jazzed. I got to 44 on my druid. My new 2nd highest ever toon. I ranted and raved about how I want to play a le...

I went to Kara I went to Kara I went to Kara I went to Kara! Not that I'm excited about it or anything. I deny that the entire afternoon before the event butterflies took over my stomach and wreaked havoc. I will also deny that by the time we got to Midnight and Attumen I was beginning to hyperventilate and that my hands were shaking so badly I could barely manipulate my mouse & keyboard. I will 'fess up to making a few noob huntard mistakes, however. Dammy wrote my pet attack/hunter's mark macro and it worked fine outside of Kara but inside it wasn't working, so 50% of the run absolutely no hunter's mark on anything. And you know what? I can't remember what other hunter mistakes I made. They were there, however. So after Attumen I began to settle down a bit, although I was still extremely paranoid that THE ENTIRE RAID WOULD DIE A HORRIBLE AND PAINFUL DEATH because of me. So I was being extra cautious. Moroes was fun-and this brings me to a question. Trappin...

We had roughly 1 million pictures. Half of which were too blurry to see anything. But here are my favorite three.
