Yeah, that's why I never got into raiding. I personally hate PvE(for the most part, anyway) and with all the 40-mans out there, all I see my friends do is spend their time in instances. Sure, you get nice equipment, but you practically lose your soul. That's why I can't wait for 1.10. I don't mind doing smaller instances/quests to get gear. It's about time Blizz catered to the solo or non-raiding gamers. "We're not gonna tell you how to play, but do it this way. Oh and please respec..." I think I better walk away before I get suckered back in.

I have a 43 mage, 41 hunter, 38 paladin, 33 priest, 25 warlock, 24 warrior, 21 druid... on bloodscalp, I also have a 18 druid and a 20 shammy, a 12 warrior, and some other characters spread around the servers.

I think it's time I do /account cancel. Maybe I'll come back around burning legion. Leveling up is a lot more fun.

Seriously, like 3 weeks ago, I had all the gear I wanted. My rogue was nasty and powerful. Then I looked at by belt, when on thottbot and looked for a replacement. Same with my leggings, and my shoulders. Then I saw nice gloves. But if I replace my gloves, I need to replace my bracer and armor, because I would lose my batskin set bonus. Then I got bloodfang hood. Well, that can't fly, I need more of that, and some nightslayer for good measure. Then I got brutality blade, I need a new off hand. I looked at which ones I could get. Then it hit me. I'm gonna do this all over again once I get my completed set, because 2 patches from now, there wil be gear that will be slightly better and that will require 2 months of playing per piece. I don't like that anymore. It scares me that I have been playing WoW for over 1 year and that while I did get satisfaction playing it, it was always replaced by "oh fuck, now I need this."

And then what?

Battlegrounds, defending the gold mine with my 37 hunter. Put down ice trap, throw flare, sit pet by flag. Stand on the front of the mine, with a bit of a vantage point. See mage come down. Start aimshot. Trap rogue at flag. Crit mage. Concussive shot, auto shot Mage down. Hunter mark Rogue. Aim shot at rogue. Send pet on rogue. Serpent sting rogue. Arcane shot rogue. Rogue down. Put trap, stealth pet, Start flare, shadowmeld. Wait.

Don't feel bad, no one mentionned my Iron Mix competition remix... Except... it sucked... and your tracks never did... (well, the ones I heard anyway, I guess anyone could have their bad days...) ... THEM BASTARDS!

Yeah, that I am. Switched to it for the benefit of the raid. That, and I'm getting my stunlock down good. The extra subtlety skills are nice too. I used to be combat, though, so I know what you mean. But even as a combat rogue, the warriors with epic two-handers and mortal strike and whatnot...ugh. Just...scary. "You dodge. Warrior overpowers you for OMGWTFBBQ! You proceed to die a horrible death." I hate them. If I see a PvP geared warrior with a weapon that does not shine, I walk away. If it has any form of enchant on it, I go for it, cheap shot him, start AR and blade fury, and I basically do as many attacks as possible to get my crippling poison on him. If I dodge before I parry, I start sprint, run through him, and get out of range ASAP, if I parry before I dodge, I disarm him, hit him a bit more, then expose armor him, gouge him, restealth, and cheap shot him again, at that moment, if he has no healing, he is getting scared. A warrior with 2000 armor less is an easy target. I have +13 to hit, so I never miss with special attacks, he needs to parry or dodge. Again, I unleash on him, and at that point, with the exposed armor, and the easy 5 point evisc (1 point from expose armor due to rentless strike or the other one before it...) 1 from gouge, 2 from CS, 1 from SS during the SS, he ends up having another 2000 damage less on his life. At that point, I make sure he is disarmed again, and I just try to do as much damage as possible. I took down a warlord with this strategy.

I fancy myself as a warrior killer. Let me guess Shinji, you are a hemo rogue? Anyway, I only have 3 epics: Bloodfang Hood, Brutality Blade, and Darkmoon Card Heroism.

I see PvP as a good alternative to getting better gear. But yeah, 40 man raids get boring quickly, especially as a rogue. 3 minutes of battle and 10 minutes of discussing loot/strategy/why we wiped.

Well, to their credits, it was RL friends, but a WoW thing. Some of my friends are in another guild (basically we used to be in the same guild, then it brok up, I took a 2 month break, and when I returned they were in this other guild, which at that point did not need rogues.), and that guild actually had no rogues available for BWL. Ya know, in my defense, no one minded when the leaders ran MC or Ony with other guild "to get experience and to know how to do it," I figured they could easily get a replacement (rogues in a guild is rarelly the needed class), and I did ask if it was a problem before even stating what the offer was. Meh, I can't figure how they are gonna react when that stray core hound is not brought back to the pack by a rogue who doesn't really care about durability. Not saying they won't be doing as well as they were, but I'm saying that I invested a lot in that guild, and that this kind of investment (getting AB groups running, instance runs going, and doing a lot of stuff for the guild) is gonna be missed by them. But, no point dwelling on the past, I might just take this as a chance to take a break from WoW and do other stuff.

Weird update. I got "das boot" from the MBoM. Apparently, they didn't enjoy me concidering doing stuff with real life friends instead of with them. Coupled with me rolling on stuff they said "everyone roll" and winning it, and other interesting condradiction, I figured I must just have pissed someone in the guild council and they had to justify their decision. Which doesn't really make sense because if they didn't want me, they could just have kicked me. Oh well, guess I wasn't made to be with them. In a sense, they were a bit annoying. Some of them complained that when I joined, I organised a lot of runs to go to places where I wanted stuff and stopped organising them after I had what I wanted. Go figure, I'm not the only one who needs UBRS, and frankly, the last time I organised a blood run, it turned out that only one of the people interested needed it. Oh well, guess I'll fly solo for a bit.

Upgrade tier 0 armors. This will make a lot of people happy.

Last night was good as well. I got brutality blade. Part of me wants to keep going in MC to help with my new gear, and part of me tells me I should stay away to let others gear up...

Hmmm... BWL... I think I'll have to ask someone some questions regarding BWL...

That's always a good feeling, ain't it? Update from Bloodscalp, the MBoM Report: Enter the Dragon Sunday, we went for our first ever Onyxia run. While some of us, in other guilds or on past characters, had fought and/or downed her, it was the first time for us as a guild going there, and that was a big thing. We started off on the wrong foot. First mob pull, our tank dies because of a healer SNAFU. We res him, rebuff, and clear the way to ony. We all buff, get our stuff ready and we go in. The tank charges, he promptly drops to about 25% health, gets a lay on hand, and we get moving. He brings her down to 95%, and the rest of the raid slowly gets in. We go through phase one very fast. Due to some need to get used to that kind of boss, some problems did occure. She punted the tank, then turned to follow him, and I ended up flying towards eggs following a tail swipe. Hatchlings were killed and we went back on killing the dragon. Begin phase 2. It was the fourth time I saw phase two. For many, it was the first time. We spread around, with all rogues and the feral druid right under her, unleashing a flurry of unadultareted DPS. Obviously, the locks and hunters actually took care of the lion's share of the damage at that point, but I had fun following a target, my camera pointed up, while avoiding clumping up when I was running towards her. She was a lot more mobile than I remembered her during phase 2. The whelps were taken care of perfectly by our two whelp teams, the damage was delt to the giant dragon, and the beast could soon no longer fly. At that moment, I was in unknown territory. I had seen phase three as a passing moment before, as I laid dead waiting for the rest of the group to die, so what I actually knew of that part was that: 1 lots of fire, 2 very dangerous, 3 most spirits are released at that moment. Being alive and healthy actually surprised me, but hey, we had none but one or two casualties at that moment. I drank my second greater fire resistance potion, looked around me, and waited for the call. It came, and we charged. Actually, the game became charge and fear. Onyxia is one of these battles that do feel epic. No insult to the other bosses, but the onyxia battle has some drama in it. Details in the landscape like cracks on the floor now become life or death information as lava starts spewing out of them. There is this sense of urgency, this feeling that Onyxia is afraid. I know she cannot be, but the whole moment where the lava comes up, the fear is triggered, and the damage is poured on just feels that she fears defeat. Phase 3 however did not go flawlessly. Lava flows and fear can bring anyone down if they did not have the time to heal. I had used only one bandage and 2 fire protection potions prior to that. I used another major healing potion, and 4 bandages during phase three. We had some close calls, like the main healer dying, getting battle rezed, and dying again. Our main tank got dangerously close to dying, and Onyxia was getting unpredictable and changed target two or three times. During one of these moments, an unlucky fear pushed someone in the eggs. 6 whelps popped around one of our healers. At least, that what I saw. I broke my bandaging. Started my cooldowns (which I had barely gotten back from phase 2) and charged at the whelps. I was not alone, and the 6 whelps were but a memory soon. Saving a healer has it's perks, as it seems I no longer needed bandaging when the whelps died. Onyxia was now at 15%. We had around 6 casualties. We started giving her more love. Love that came in the form of sinister strikes, arcane shots, backstabs, and various other moves that I could not begin to name. She was down at 10%, we had around 8 casualties. We would not know any others. We pushed it in overdrive. I drank thistle tea that by any standards would be foul because of how long it stagnated in my backpack, just so I could pour on more damage. I regreted not having more ways to make onyxia scream, but I knew that when I could not strike her, someone else was doing it. And that when I was not critting, someone else was doing it. Soon, she had only one percent health left. That 1 percent was the shortest and the longest moment of the whole fight. Shortest because the beast dropped without any more protest. The longest because it took us, I can only attest to the last three months but I will speak for the guild (hopefully they will not hold it against me), that 1% took about a year. It took countless UBRS run. It took countless jailbreaks. It took 4 hours of my saturday to get some people to jailbreak and through it. That 1% took a year to each of the members of the raid. That's 40 years worth of work, all condensed in 1%. She dropped. A quel'serar was forged in her blood. Her head was removed and handed to our tank, which by all means deserved a lot more. A king's ransom was looted from her, which, after taxes and being divided rounded up to about 4 golds per person. With my 56 silver repair bill, I feel this has been a very profitable moment in my day if I don't count my potion, arcanum of resilience, and other various investments done that very same day. As you all know, the head dropped. The 18 slotter backpack dropped. It was randomly distributed and ended up in my possession. Sandals of the insurgent dropped, as did some plate gauntlets that give +10 defense. Now comes the purple loot. She dropped Eskandar's collar. It went to a very deserving rogue, although at this point, I believe anyone deserved what dropped and probably more... Judgement Crown went to a paladin. And now, linking back to what I originally quoted, some of you may guess what else dropped. Bloodfang Hood replaced my very loved Shadowcraft helm. You most likely do not know this, but Shadowcraft helm was my first upgrade ever in the MBoM. The very night I got accepted in the guild, I tagged along for a Scholo run, where SC helm dropped. There is some sentimental value right there. Sorry for making this long a post, but I could not share our victory in any shorter means, as it would have seemed like I did not care about the fight, just the rewards. I am very grateful for all I have gotten, but somehow, this morning, I care a lot more about the road travelled to get up to this point. Although, to be honnest, I think it looks wicked cool and I just wish people could see that I am proud and happy to have it, but that in no way I want to rub it in people's faces, I just want to share my happiness with all of you.

I'll check Allakhazam. Thanks. (I'll check Thottbot, too, if my first wields nothing. Don't get your panties in a bunch.) Anything with +agility. Each point of agility is an additional 2 attack power, and each 14 AP is another 1 Ranged DPS. Seriously, I go in AH, I check the usable item thing, go in the weapon section and I write agility. I also look for either Tiger or Monkey.

Level 60 Shaman + Level 60 Warrior defending the Gold Mine Flag.

I still have fond memories of Darnassus, stealthing up to Malenar, and having to take care of him and a grellkin at the same time. Or when I had to fight an elite elemental in a small cave. Just a level 9 elite. But such a challenge. I had to calculate my pulls, and to get him down as fast as possible. Heck, I got that heart pounding feeling back in MC. Trying to distract Garr and his minions to keep them in one spot. Stealthing up to a MC boss is always something that will get my heart racing. Also, last night, we did a 10 man attunment run for MC. I actually killed the elemental patrols by myself, while waiting for others. Another challenge for my character. We did the attunment thing in under 20 minutes.

That's always a good feeling, ain't it? Yeah, it is.

Technically, we got the 4 bosses down in our second run, we just had 5 days between mag and gehenas. What impresses me is that we did all 4 bosses in less than 3 hours, that our only wipe was due to a technical error (tank 4 was on tank 3's target on a dog patch) and that we killed lucifron when we were aiming for a dog patch. Also, we only had 3 warlocks for the Garr fight so we killed 5 adds instead of 4 before Garr, who went down quickly. Also, it was my first time not dying except on the wipe. On a sadder note, I lost the roll on NS leggings. But I now have the lead in DKP. And soon, we will be downing Onyxia.

Yesterday we did MC up to garr with only one wipe due to a very bad dog pull in the lucifron room. Third time in the instance as a guild, and we got the first 4 bosses down.

hello i am new on the internet and i wondered if you could give me a hint or two about how i could be better on the intermet i was also wondering how you remixed and if there were any hot girls who wanted to meet someone finally i was wondering also what games you like i like sonic the hedgehog because he is the fastest thing alive and because he is blue which is my favourite color

Another big step was accomplished by the Merry Band of Misfits: Our first master looter error... Errr... Gehenas and Garr down. Nothing new on my side, I rolled a 28 on nightslayer gloves, but I don't really mind since right now I'm wearing a missmatched set + batskin set, and the gloves would have broken what I have. I currently have the lead in the sword rogue DKP, so brutality will be mine sooner than later. We were told by two of the top players on bloodscalp that if we wanted, we could get to Domo easily. Only thing we really miss is fire resist on our tanks. I think I may have joined one of the most interesting guilds on this server. Not only did we not mind trying Baron Geddon (that is knowing that we were almost certainly wiping at least once), but we are filled with really nice people. One of our warriors won the drillborer disk, off of Garr, sadly, the masterlooter made a slight mistake and gave it to another warrior who had rolled on it. GMs were contacted and I still don't know how it'll be resolved, but the warrior who had won the disk said one thing that I really found classy: "Errors happen." He was not pissed, in fact, the leader was a lot more angry at himself than the warrior was. Hopefully, it'll be resolved by the GM, but if it isn't, the warrior won't mind, and the guild will hive him the next warrior drop, no rolling or anything.
