Hawky!

I have a belf hunter! Her name is Kalesril, which means "Dragon of the Elves" in Drow.

Yes. Yes, I know. Bite me, I have a D&D supplement.

Anyways, I made Kal back at the start of BC, and left her to languish at level 12 for something along 2 years now. At the urging of the two super hunters of SoA, I decided to go revisit the old girl.

It's really fun, surprisingly. I really enjoy the hunter/pet relationship, so naturally I made her BM and started putting points towards making my dragonhawk awesome and smexy. Hawky is already pretty awesome and smexy though. Whooo's a gooood little impromptu 5man quest tank?

She's great fun to play, especially decked out in Hiemalis' heirloom, enchanted gear. Did you know you get Aspect of the Viper at level 20? And disengage!

I fall off cliffs a lot with disengage :D

Now, everything I've read suggests that I should go get a wolf pet, because wolves are filled with win and coated in winsauce and dragonhawks are cunning pets and thus jacks of all trades and masters of none.

But what, might I ask, is cuter than a red and gold dragonhawk? Nothing, that's right.



Magtheridan/Gruul's Lair next Sunday!

Troll Raids-There iz lots



Jindo the Hexxer is freaking ridiculous, I tell you. AAAH MIND CONTROLL AAAH. In other news, the Stars got Zul'aman today! It's so pretty-I like it much better than the other instances we've been in. No frog pets, sadly. We blew through it so fast with our twin leet hunters Morkerron and Taillie that we decided to head to Zul'gurub and clear it again!



I'm going to go eat ice cream now :D Pro tip--the elementium ore we got from Blackwing Lair sold for 4k on the AH, in case you ever do it.

On Shaman Tanking, Stories, and Randomness

Hiemalis hit 71, yay for everyone. Heroism is sexy. She's doing a nice 1.4k DPS on boss fights with her cooldowns. I think I'm going to tipetoe off the deep end and make her a shammy tank.

Yeah, you heard me. Be AFRAID.

Healing Northrend dungeons is interesting, and a LOT harder than I thought. I've only had 3 successful runs-2 in UK, 1 in Nexus. I'm starting to really like group/raid healing as opposed to MT healing. I imagine myself as running around and handing out bandaids. Heroic!

Liselle, my warrior, is 78 today, slowly creeping up on that dreaded time when I'll have to gear up the poor girl. Warrior tanking scares me--it's considerably harder than Bear.

The Stars have Kara tomorrow, we'll see how it goes. Sadly, our super hunters, Taillie and Morkerron, can't come D: Of course, the last time we did it we 4manned it...so anything is better than that. Outland Raider, here we come!

Eyowyn is 8 emblems away from a new trinket, woo-hoo! She'll finally break 5.5k gs! Her DPS is crazy as arcane, I tell you. I keep begging our resident druid for innervate so I can keep doing AB spam.

My writing contest entry is going well. I'm at about 5000 words, and I've decided to change it fairly significantly, yay editing. I have to think of a title soon...hmmm...

If you were to write a backstory for a vengeful, 200 year old draenei shaman, what title would you give it?

More Song Parodies!

I Tanked a Raid

This was never the way I planned, not my intention.
I got so brave, gear in hand, lost my discretion
It's not what I'm used to, just wanna try it out.
I'm curious for this, caught my attention.

[Chorus:]
I tanked a raid and I liked it,
the taste of my stoneblood flasks
I tanked a raid just to try it,
I hope my new guild don't mind it.
It felt so wrong,
it felt so right.
Don't mean I'm tanking tonight.
I tanked a raid and I liked it (I liked it).

No, I don't even know the boss, it doesn't matter.
It's an experimental raid, just feral nature.
It's not what good tanks do, not how they should behave.
My head gets so confused, hard to obey.

I tanked a raid and I liked it,
the taste of my stoneblood flasks
I tanked a raid just to try it,
I hope my new guild don't mind it.
It felt so wrong,
it felt so right.
Don't mean I'm tanking tonight.
I tanked a raid and I liked it (I liked it).

Us tanks we are so magical,
Armor, high health, invulnerable.
Hard to 1 hit, so healable.
Too good to deny it.
Ain't no big deal, it's pure skill.

I tanked a raid and I liked it,
the taste of my stoneblood flasks
I tanked a raid just to try it,
I hope my new guild don't mind it.
It felt so wrong,
it felt so right.
Don't mean I'm tanking tonight.
I tanked a raid and I liked it (I liked it).

Blizzard Has Gone Crazy

WTF, Blizzard? WTF?!

If you do not understand why I'm twitching furiously at my keyboard, reduced to streams of gibberish, go check out any major blogger.

Seriously,

WTF!

Edit: So now, if someone trolls you, you can stalk them! That will make the forums a better place!

The Stars of Azeroth take down Blackwing Lair



Who at Blizzard came up with the Supression Room? I think we should go to his house AND BURN IT.



I personally had to go through it 5 TIMES because certain morons kept AOEing when I said not to AOE! Battle rez FTW, people.


Slow motion running in the supression room.

The instance was awesome. The first and second bosses were my favorite--I was the controller for Razorgore. The burn for the second boss was crazy. Burning adrenaline FTL!


Nefarion goes down!

Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj next!

Weird

I just had some random BE DK named Kolvidor (something like that) whisper me as T'kela, asking me what she was like. When I demanded to know why he was whispering me, he said he'd tell me later and logged.

Huh.

Maybe he reads AoC?

Or maybe he's a stalker.

-THE ABOVE ARE RANDOM LATE-NIGHT THOUGHTS-
