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

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.

http://relentlessthoughts.blogspot.com/

Not sure how often I will update it, I guess when I have thoughts on my mind. So if you are intersted check me out! I will atleast try to be interesting as possible.

Working for the Government is GREAT

Can you sense the sarcasm in my voice?

I had a trip planned since March to go to San Jose to visit a friend of mine on Wed. I had purchased the tickets in April and put my leave on the books at that time. Well I get told yesterday that I was not able to take my leave due to the upgrade training that I have to complete and take my End of Course test next week. Usually this would not be a big deal, but I was really looking forward to this trip. I had already dropped the cash on the tickets, and my friend was on the ball with pleanty of stuff to do. Now working for the government can have its perks, let me tell you how great it is to flash a military ID and reap the benefits that people throw your way, but it really blows when they tell you that you can't take leave because they felt like it. And no they will not reimburse me for my tickets that I bought 4 months ago. Meh, I can't wait till april when I become a civilan again.

Music or No Music?

Do you listen to any music when you play WoW? Do you listen to the in-game music, or just nothing at all? Do you have some much going on in Vent that you cant concentrate on anything else?

I personally like to load up my Sirius internet radio and listen to Octane 20 and play WoW. At first I had trouble have the music and Vent going at the same time that I couldnt hear or concentrate on what was being said by the Raid Leader. Now I can't play with out it. Even if I am only logging on to check my mail, I have to the music in the background. I don't turn the game sound completely off, I just turn it down.

So tell me, what do you like going on in your background when you load up WoW?

Judo Chop!

Last weekend I went to a friends birthday party and was having a great time, until, JUDO CHOP right to the fucking throat. Well it was more of a punch, but none the less, it was to my throat! WTF!?! Ok so We were all just chillin around the pool, drinking and talking and having fun sliding down the giganormous inflatable water slide that my friend rented for his party, when out of the blue, this chick I'm dating punches me in the fucking throat. Now at this point I was inhibriated and so was she. I was just sitting there as a couple of my friends were talking about different types of beer and the tastes, when she walked up to me and lashed out at me. I have no clue wtf I did or why she even punched me. Well needless to say, I fucking went off on her. You know how there is always some time of drama that goes on at parties, especially when there are 50 drunk people running around, well I managed to be the drama at the party. Loads of F bombs and WTF's and You punched me in the fucking throat with her just stading there saying, "No I didn't" Well I guess she had enough of the tounge lashing, cause that is all I could do, it's not like I could punch her back, and she calls me a liar and says I'm going to bed. Liar? WTF? Where in teh hell did that come from? I followed her inside to find out wtf she was talking about and couldn't get anything out of her. The next day she wakes up and knows she is pissed at me for something but can't remember why. So later on in the day she calls me and says, "Why am I mad at you?" OMG TYPICAL FUCKING WOMAN! I'm mad at you and don't know why, but I know I should be. Give me a break. So I told her she punched me in the throat and I went off on her. "I didn't punch you in the throat." Um, Ya you did. "Oh, I'm sorry" Well thanks but my throat still hurts fucker.

The moral of the story is always protect yourself, cause you never know when a ninja will come from the bushes and Judo Chop you right in the throat. And if you are a female and reading this, dont be mad at someone if you cant remember why, cause 9 times out of 10, you were in teh wrong cause you just puched your ol'man in the throat.

Response to Questions.

I received a couple of questions and Im going to answer them here:

Kat said...
You asked for question. So here are the immediate ones that come to mind…- How do you find out about the daily quests? Is there a research site you use? Everything I read talks about them like you should already know and just refers to them as “Dailies”. - Do you like your affliction spec DoTs now that some time has passed? How different is it from how you use to play?- In instances do you have your minion at your side at all times or do you send your minion in to dps?- What Curse do you use primarily in instances?Remember you asked. =P

Dailies; Dailies started after the last major patch. I believe, but I could be wrong, (I dont really remember) but the first quest starts in the middle of Shat next to the Flight Master. This quest will take you to Skettis. Skettis is in the mountains to the south east of the Flight Master in Terrorkar Forrest. Start those quests there. Once you get to a point it will take you to Blades edge mountains and will be able to start doing quests there. As of now I have 5 dailies that I can do, 1 left in Skettis, and 4 in BEM.

My play style; I originally leveled 1-60 as affliction spec'd. I like many aspects about this spec. Siphon life and Nightfall are my 2 favorites. There is nothing like a dot that does damage to your mob and heals you at the same time. Plus it will cause Nightfall to proc and will give you an instant shadow bolt. Once patch 2.0 came out I respec'd to Demonology. The fel guard was a force to be reckoned with. He was awesome. I leveled 60-70 as Deomonology and loved it. I got such a boost in spell damage and with my fel guard I could take on just about anything. Most group quest that were suggested 3 or less I could solo. I stayed as this spec for a long time after hitting 70. I would use my fel guard as an off tank in instances. with health funnel and healers that were willing to heal my pet, we had an off tank that could handle his business. When he wasnt off tanking, I would leave him next to me and use him to help protect the squishies in the group when they would pull aggro. I would leave intercept turned on so I could use him to stop the mob in his tracks and give the tank a chance to regain aggro.
Once we hit Kara, I was asked to respec to affliction, as it was a more viable raid spec. I had more dots and would last way longer for the boss fights. For the trash I would use, Curse of Shadows, ( I spec'd imp CoS) Immolate, Siphon Life, and Corruption. Once dots were applied, I would just shadow bolt till dead. Boss fights I would use the same dots but would add in Unstable affliction. I know this is more of a PvP dot, but that extra dot really helps out alot. I always use my imp now for the stamina buff, and I rarely use anything else. Even when soloing, I can usually take the hits from mobs that i dont need to have a tanking pet handle the hits for me. Plus if the shit hits the fan I just fear and life drain.
Now alot of people will say that apply all of those dots on trash mobs are not needed an will gimp my damage on the damage meters. But I try to weave my dots so I don't pull aggro and that I can take advantage of the cool downs. I will start off with CoS, and then will go into either unstable affliction, or Immolate. I go to these dots next as they have a 1.5 sec cast time. As soon as I finish casting, I go straight to siphon life, then corruption. I have found that this usually means the fasting casting of my dots.
I still dont have the gear to be deadly in my spec. If I was pimped out, I would be able to pull aggro with just allowing my dots to tick, with out even firing a single shadow bolt. I would spec back to demonolgy as right now I dont raid very much anymore, but when I do raid, I know that I can last through any boss fight, and rarely have to drink.

I think I answered all your questions, If I left something out let me know, I will try to address them.
