375 Tailoring

Woot! I hit 375 tailoring last night and now I am broke. Thanks to a number of people for helping out with Shadowcloth so I could make my Frozen Shadoweave robe. My gear is a little better now and I have started pushing my +spell hit so I can keep from resisting on mobs higher level than me. I believe that I am sitting just over 5% so I am going to work on a few more gems and try to push it higher. I have found fighting bosses that they resist a lot of my spells which causes me to use more mana than I should.

And according to TJ all teh cool kids are at the bottom of the damage meter with leather jackets, holey jeans, smokin and drinking, but I dont have a leather jacket. How about an old Carhart jacket and jeans that were too long that I just walked teh hem out of. Of course I will still be smokin and drinkin like a good rebelious lock does.

Less QQ

I have friend that reads my blog, but hardly ever comments on my writings, that wants me to post something new. "I'm Bored, write something." WTF? What am I his personal story teller? I dont think so. Write your own blog so I can not post comments to it. Whatever dude.

No, no, I'm just playing. I recently posted that I had apped to a new guild. I got in and have already jumped balls deep into raiding with them. They are not hard core by anymeans, which is good cause I don't have the time to be hardcore, but they don't fuck around when it comes to raiding. 3 nights a week are for progression and the 4th day is optional. We have just started SSC and have Gruul on farm. We went into Mag on Sunday and pwned his as on our 5th attempt. It feels good to be learning new encounters now. I don't mind the wipes and the new boss fights. I think it makes it all worth it when you get it down and take down a new boss.

I need to get better gear. I am not happy being on the bottom of the DPS. I know I should do way better, but time and money are a big factor. I dont have the time to pick up new items yet cause of the points system and I dont have the money to get the last point in tailoring so I can finish off my set. I need to work on getting my +hit raiting up cause I miss alot. I know that will definatley boost my dps.

SO Nick, I posted something for you to read. SO QUIT YER BITCHIN! You should post something if your so bored. I can give you my account info if you want so you can post too.

The Wall

My guild has hit a wall. We can clear all of Kara in roughly 2 days of raiding and don't seem to progress passed that. We do Gruul's on the weekends, but I can't ever make it due to RL plans. I know that we have downed HKM, but that is it. There are a few problems that exist that are keeping us from ever going passed Gruul.

First, our guild is way too casual to really put the time in to push passed or see new content. We have 2 to 3 kara groups running a week, but we have trouble filling the groups some times or for the whole clear. The groups tend to stick with each other and we don't switch out week to week. I dont mind that but we aren't letting people get geared up cause some groups do better than others. At this rate it will take us a year to gear everyone up in Kara gear. No good.

Second, For a long time after the GM quit the game, we had no GM as that what was voted on. The members decided to just have CL officers to run the guild. Ok I guess that is fine but it goes on the saying of too many chiefs and not enough indians. All of our officers were good, but didnt really have a backbone. We had a really good officer that was really trying to push the guild to see new things but the other officers just kinda blew it off like it wasn't important. The other officers wouldn't back him, so not everyone was in agreement. Not good.

Third, we are getting way to repetive, wich goes back to the other points. The game is getting boring and when you speak to officers and they say that they are bored and are going to take a break, you know that they see it too. We recently made a change to the guild, and now have a GM. What really pissed me off was that it was only open to the current officers and didnt like the idea of anyone being able to run for the position and have the whole guild vote on it. Oh and that they want to change the GM every 6 months. I have no clue what that is. Is that supposed to make the guild better? I dont really think it is going to work, since there were only 2 officers that wanted the GM position.

I think what it came down to was they are scared that someone like me or the best officers we had becoming GM and really whiping the guild into shape. They know that we wouldn't be afraid to tell it like it is, or /gkick someone. We recently lost that best officers cause he called someone out and all the other officers were too scared to back him and ridiculed him for calling the douche bag out.

So I think we have hit the wall and topped out on our progression. I have apped to a new guild that seems to be doing well. They getting a late start, but they pushing along. I have friend that got in there and said it was the cat's ass. Hopefully tonight I will go on a recruitment run and get an invite to the guild. Cross your fingers!

Tier 4 Gloves

Got my Tier 4 Gloves last night in Kara! We cleared through Curator and did an attempt on Nightbane, but didnt down him due to bugged out elite mob showed up and started killing the raid. We decided to call due to it getting late.

oh and I hate being little red riding hood.

New Mount

Fiery Warhorse's Reins

Got the mount off of Attumen Last night. I had to beat a 94 and a 96 roll, got it with a 97!

Hax dice FTW

Update

Well it has been a while since I have posted anything WoW related to my character progression, so here we go:

I have found more time now to be more active in WoW and have been getting invited to more raids lately, actually I dont think I had a choice on the invite. Cause you see, I'm that good that everyone wants me in their raid group, no not really, but yeah. I have gotten 1 drop and it was only a slight upgrade. I will just add it to the list of epics I equip now. No big deal. The big deal is that we have officially put Kara on farm status since we took down Nethersprite last night.

Nethersprite is a fun fight only if people can grab the damn green beam like no body's business, but if the hesitate or loose it, it heals Nethersprite for 1% total healther every second. The nice thing is that when the tank grabs the red beam, all aggro goes to the tank, and that means the DPS can go all out. I was in rotation with the blue beam and it was nice to see drain life ticking for over 1.2k a tick as the debuff started stacking. With raid buffs, I am only at about 800+ spell damage so to see those kind of numbers from a drain life was awesome. I didnt top the damage meter on this fight, but I was second to the mage that was in roation with me in the blue beam. But she killed me on the damage meter. She had about 10% more damage done than I did.

I also was able to afford my epic flyer. I started on my netherdrake dailies and hit honored in about 3 days. So now I have more than enough dailies to hit my 10 max a day. The nice thing is that after drop the 5.2k on the epic flyer, I am now over 1k gold in only about a week worth of dailies and selling one Jewelcrafting pattern on the AH. The nice thing about have so many dailies is that now I get to pick and choose the easiest ones that return the most gold.

I copied 2 premade characters over to the PTR last night, a warlock, and a hunter. OMG let me tell you how cool the warlock gear is. First the set bonus is nice, It grants your dots on periodic damage to heal you for 70hp per tick. That is very nice for raiding. Between that and my siphon life I should have no problems staying alive in most fights. Second the animation of the helm or shoulders, can't tell wich one, is awesome. Periodically a set of bat wings will come out and start flapping. It looks so cool. I haven't had a chance to try out the hunter, as I don't really know too much about them, the highest hunter alt I have is like 24. We got on so late last night that we didnt have a chance to view any of the content, but I think tonight we are going to try to get a group together and try it out. We also tried out the new voice chat with in WoW. It was really choppy and if you dont have the main volume turned up, it is kinda hard to hear the other people speaking. I don't think our guild will give up vent, but it will make pugging a lot easier now, cause most people will not have an excuse to not have voice chat.

Hmm...Well I think that pretty much wraps it up for my update.

New Blog

I have decided to start a new blog that is strictly about my life and leave this blog to WoW like I had previously intended it to be.
