Unholy is awesome.

Being around tons and tons of death knights has given me the opportunity to really sit down and learn my class. While I'm no where near 80 (61 atm), I feel like I am getting a good grasp of this Hero Class. The only time I have lost in a fight was when I was jumped by 3 Unholy Death Knights. So far, I have been able to kill almost everyone I engage with, and I even have been able to kill several when I start at below 50% hp.

So far, fighting other death knights has been easy...now I have to see how I do against other classes. My friend and I (he was 60, and I was 59), camped a 70 feral druid and ALMOST killed a 70 Ret Paly...can anyone say OP?

Hordes of Death Knights

I love new phasing thing that Blizzard implemented...lag is down to a minimum, and there weren't thousands upon thousands of DKs in the starting area. Right now, I'm leveling as Blood, but I think I'm going to switch Unholy...I'm a fan of raising the dead :D. I don't want to be at work right now...but I know that I need money (I've spent a little too much money this month :P). Okay, no more slacking...2 more hours until more WotLK >.<...

WoW

leveling a paly while waiting for WotLK for DK...

End of an era...

So, I sold my account...but I bought a new account! And I've been using the Recruit-a-Friend thing and its pretty cool. I'm working on a paly right now level 34 I think. I'm also leveling another shaman, and I have a 57 priest. I'm not sure what I'm going to do when WotLK comes out in terms of what class I'm going to play. I'm really looking forward to the shaman talents but I don't know when I'll have a shaman up and running. Plus, I've grown to like humans in their disproportional glory, and I like the ret paly stuff. And I'm still thinking about the Death Knight. So, in the mean time I'm slowly progressing and hopefully will have a good idea of what I want to accomplish with WotLK comes out.

until further notice...

this blog is going to be on hold...school has started, and I haven't really been focusing much on WoW. Plus, I sold my old account. Right now, I have a 56 BE priest and an 18 human Paly. I'm really waitin' on WotLK to rear it's ugly head so I can have more motivation to play...until then, I'm outy

Ground Breaking Improvement

I continue to learn and implement new abilities for SC IV. I use my custom characters, but my main style right now is Yun-Seong, and my alt is Seong Mi-na.

Yun-Seong is nice; he is a complete departure from my old favorite, Mitsurugi. He isn't as powerful hit for hit, but I find it is easier to string combos with Yun than it is with Rugi. Plus, the Dragon Sword totally completes my custom character's outfit. I don't really like his critical finish, but to be honest, we don't get to see it that much anyway so it's no biggie. I really just started getting familiar and had my first training session with Yun last night, and I am really liking his fighting style. I believe it is traditional Chinese sword fighting.

That's all for now, time to get back to work.

Soul Caliber IV

...is awesome.

So is Spore...can't wait for that to come out.

In an interview by a spokesperson of Vivendi games, the release date of WotLK was said to be in the 2nd half of 2008. And since the game files include a Brewfest Kodo, I'm thinkin Oct/Nov.

I'm going...

to level my rogue today.

Oh, damn it.

I have about ~32000 Honor to grind to get rid of my non-epic armor. Then comes the rings, neck, and back. Oy, and arenas were terrible last night. I don't know what to say other than we have a lot of work. Shit, I have a lot of work to do...no more afking bg's it's time to learn all my shit so I don't forget I have it.

- Remember to equip/unequip my shield
- Don't switch targets so much -- just pick one and blow it the fuck up
- Coordinate cyclone's better
- Remember to throw down totems after they have been destroyed
- Save shocks for heals/spellcasts
- Remember my abilities!
- Get better gear

Honestly, this may be noobish but whatever, I forget that I have some abilities...I finally got over that hump with my rogue, but now I need to get over it with my shammy (who ironically has less abilities than my rogue). I'm not going to lie, I do miss the utilities and survivability I had with Raelan, but I'm determined to figure out shamans. Eventually, Raelan will be 70...and then 80...I haven't decided which one I will level first...but it's definitely going to be Horde.

Oh, and there is speculation that WotLK will be out this Oct. or Nov. Why? Because in the WotLK files there is the Brewfest Kodo model, a model that Blizzard said they were going to implement during the next Brewfest (which is in either Oct. or Nov.) Plus, each season only lasts a few months (except for Season 3 which was awkwardly long) and S4's number might be called come this Oct/Nov. At any rate, WotLK will be welcomed (at least for me), and I'm excited for the new mobility my Shaman will have. And, for Lore lovers, I can't wait to summon my wolves. Also, does anyone else think that the Rogue talents are a bit OP?

Arena

I want to find a 3s and 5s team...but then again, I need to my greens/blues replaced first I suppose.

Deathfrost is nice, whenever I looked for the debuff, it was always there.


I need to get my other ax.

Viability Chart

Courtesy of Push of Dark Iron...this shows the viability for shamans in Arena PvP (lol)

Global Cooldown...

..owns me.

I need to pay more attention..fuck.

Changes...

Okay, so I am putting my rogue on hold and playing my shaman. Until I can come up with a better title, the one that I'm using right now will have to do. Hopefully this'll be my last change...I'm sick of it.

Mages

frost mages suck.

I dueled my friend yesterday and got owned. i got him down to 432 the second time we fought, but I still consider it as ownage because he didn't use his water elemental. I'm going to QQ a little more...

Okay, I'm done.

I really want to get my weapons to try out mongoose/deathfrost. I've talked to a couple shammys that I've seen using that combination, and they said it's amazing. Deathfrost proc's very frequently and the slow effect (which can't be dispelled) is crucial when an earth shock is needed and someone is running away.

Y'know, I really want to do Kara so I can get my badge totem...but at the same time, I want to level my rogue and get him to 70. Gah, I need to just pick one and go with it...I don't know if I have the time, or the patience, to gear up 2 people right now. I barely have enough time to do one. Summer is the worst time for me to play, it seems. I find myself wanting to hang out with friends and go out as opposed to sitting and playing WoW...is that a bad thing? At least there is one thing that is nice...when my friends play WoW. At least then, I am able to play while hanging out with them! Isn't that nice? Yes, indeed it is.

Anyway, last night we all got together and played Monopoly and Life. I have to say it was a really fun time lol. I didn't expect it to be this fun, but I underestimated the power of the board game. I lost in Life (lol) but I managed to do okay in Monopoly. At one point, I was the top man, but one decision lead to my downfall. I had acquired 3 properties, which gave me a monopoly, and I had the money to build a hotel on one of them. I was going to build a hotel on the one that was worth the most just in case someone landed on it. HOWEVER, i STUPIDLY decided against that to save money in case I landed on enemy territory (which would cost me over 1k)...I say this was a STUPID decision because 3 people landed on that property..IN A ROW. I would have been able to collect over 3k in cash, and quite possibly knock out the most powerful player. But alas, I could not see into the future and that decision lead to my bankruptcy.

I'm hungry...is it lunch time yet?

Arena/PvP work

I need to get both of my s2 weapons before the weekend is up...I really REALLY wished that they made a slow offhand for s2 instead making me get 2 mainhands (27,000 honor as opposed to 36,000) they should have just added it into the game...is it really that hard? Merciless gladiator's chopper...there I did all the work already! Oh well, anyway, I was just thinking about things I needed to do:

- Don't just rush from Stormstrike to Earthshock when fighting a healer
- Figure out the totem placements for arenas that would maximize their effects
- Remember to throw down Wrath of Air totem for my healer
- Use stoneclaw totem against pets to alleviate pressure for my partner
- Don't put the same totem down twice (sometimes I forget if I have a totem down...but Blizzard helped us by putting indicator's under our portrait frame)
- Learn how to kill a frost mage w/o being able to purge off Ice Armor (if it's even possible anymore)
- Complete Kara to get my epic totem
- Get s2 weapons!

Nakah's Revival

This past weekend I spent doing arenas/bg with my shaman, Nakah (no, I haven't quit my rogue). I find that it is much more difficult to survive because of the lack of all the CD's that the rogues have, but I love a challenge. Being in the terrible gear that I am in + not playing my shaman in months and playing with a partner that has 0 arena experience, ending with a 19-19 record in 2s gave us hope for a bright future. I was pleasantly surprised really enjoyed the experience. My partner is a dreamstate druid so our comp is probably the best for enh shamans. We played a variety of comps ranging from ret paly/war to your cookie cutter druid/war. Many of the games we lost were extremely close and, to be honest, we shouldn't have lost. I feel that if our gear was better, we would have easily won. We started at 1382 and brought it up to 1401. I know that starting low pairs us with teams of equal rating, but like I said, there were about 6 or 7 games that were so close that if I feel if we had better gear (if I didn't use a green OH and had enchants...) we would have definitely won.

I find that I have the most trouble killing paladins because of Flash of Light. I'm able to draw a bubble very early in the game, and I'm able to burst him down very low...but I have difficulty finishing them off. Spamming of flash of light is difficult to stop because earth shock cd is 6 sec. I think we're going to try and use cyclone in this situation as an interupt that's the only thing I can think of that could help. We had a really hard time against rogue teams because the rogue would lock down my partner, and since we lack in the gear department, he gets eaten alive.

I really want to try enh shaman/frost mage/resto druid in 3s. I heard that it does very well, and the only comp that gives it trouble is the dreaded RMP.

I don't know what to say about my choices of who I want to play and when. I thought that enhancement was dead, and I only wanted to play my shaman if he was going to be viable. I realize that I probably should have just transferred him over instead of rerolling...but I've made mistakes in the past. I do plan on getting my rogue to 70 because he's FUCKING 68...I enjoy the challenge of playing a class that's seen as "gimp" and "teh sux0rs". LOL I just thought of something...it's like Asians and sports: we're seen as frail, weak, and not viable in that arena. That belief, the singular belief that we aren't good enough is what drove me to prove people wrong. Well, what are we waiting for? Let's rock.

Farewell to Arms...

I am retiring my Arms War (Adynn) for now...maybe WotLK will bring a revival?

My shammy

So my druid friend has no partner to play with, and I kind of feel bad. I think I may transfer Nakah over and respec him back to enh and play resto druid/enh shammy. My priest friend told me that they have lost to resto druid/enh shaman before so I think I may try it. I am going to be doing mage/rogue with my mage friend (unless he's replaced me :P) when I hit 70 with Raelan and get geared. Transferring my shaman over will just give me a little break from the monotonous leveling (2 more levels >< which I hope to attain by this weekend) and allow me to help my friend get some points.

I just don't know if I have the money for it.

2 more levels...

what? can't you read the title?

i'm almost there, just gotta get home in 1 piece and finish it off!

call me a noob...

but I sometimes forget I have certain abilities on my rogue...this will change once I switch into real PvP mode when I hit 70 (hopefully) otherwise I'll suck lol.

clarification

shut the fuck up. 

WoW

My leveling progress has sped up a bit now that the weekend is over. I have more time to play since everyone is doing their own thing during the week. I'm still 66, but I have a shit ton of quests to knock out, so hopefully I'll be 67 by tonight, and hopefully I can get at least 1/2 to 68 tomorrow (bowling league ftl). I still need to do Durnholde so that should give me some good exp too. I started power-leveling my engineering last night when I got a headache from leveling. I'm at 202 right now, and I think I'll stop there for now and concentrate more on leveling. Although, I really do want my helm.

I feel so close to being done leveling >< I just need to find the motivation to finish strong.

:)

Anyone wanna level me quickly to 70? I'll pay :)

Gankness

I respec'd in order to get shadowstep. I know combat is best for leveling blah blah, but to be honest, I have no problems killing multiple mobs. I take out 3-4 easy; they just can't hit me. Anyway, back to my entry, the past few times people have attempted to gank me my reflex for "live on to fight another day" kicked in, and I ran. However, since I got shadowstep, I decided that Raelan would no longer flee from a battle unless my opponent was 67-70 (however, I did manage to stunlock a recently 70'd warlock to death).

A dwarven warrior (63) tried to kill me when I was leveling in Zangarmarsh yesterday. He charged at me after I had finished off a mob, after I had just sat down, after I had just started eating *sigh*. So, I built up combo points and KS'd him, and then continued to Hemo his ass. I let loose a 5 pt rupture, and then timed a gouge so that I could get some space and kite him. When the rupture ran out, I blinded him and bandaged right next to him (I'm an ass I know), and to show the hopelessness of his situation, I did a /mourn as I finished bandaging and restealthed. I despise people who try to gank me...so if I know I'm going to win...I try make them understand the mistake that they made. :)

After he res'd, he mounted up and tried to run. I sapped him and watched a pat aggro him. Then, I helped out the pat by bringing him down to about 50%, vanished...but he managed to not die and slip away (I should have finished him, I know).

He came back later with another warrior (62) and attempted to kill me again. However, this time I was on an escort quest and had no reason to engage them. I distracted one, sapped the other, and then stealth+sprint to victory...watching them dismount to try and find me was hilarious. They ran around in circles spamming demoralizing shout and such as, what seemed to be, an escortless npc walked by. N00bs.

New name, new (same) game

I changed the name of my rogue to Raelan.

Hopefully this new name will bring me faster leveling? No? Am I asking/hoping for too much?

Still 61...

So my rogue is still 61...but I finally got some instance runs in! I think I have about 1/3 left before I hit 62...I really don't understand how my druid friend leveled so quickly to 63. Oh well, I heard he has a guide, maybe that's it...yes..that's it. Even with a guide though, I never would have thought that the efficiency would increase by this much...it's kind of ridiculous actually...unless my sense of time is off completely, and there really isn't that much of a difference. At any rate, doing instances yesterday was pretty badass. I can solo some of the mobs :). I love having so much CC...as a warrior, I've always been lacking in the crowd control department, and now that I have lots of it, I love it. Sap, blind, gouge, kick, arcane torrent (tyvm BE racial!), cheap shot, kidney shot, vanish, cheap shot 2, kidney shot 2...+ preparation, and it all starts over. Amazing, isn't it?

So, I'm thinking of renaming my rogue Raelan. I like it, do you like it? I like it.

Also, I must say that I am spoiled. I say this because last night, in my last BF run, I was grouped with a bunch of morons. Even though we finished it and only completely wiped once, these guys weren't very good. I sometimes forget the quality of players that my friends are. I sometimes forget that there are people out there that aren't good at WoW. And I sometimes forget that my friends are awesome. So, to all my friends in the WoW world, thank you for being you. :)

You know what really grinds my gears...

I'm trying to get into Hellfire Ramps because instance grinding will help speed up my leveling process, and you know I see? 5 rogues LFG...wtf?! I know that there are more dpsers than there are tanks/healers but still...I mean, come on! 5 god damn rogues all looking for the same instance? Shit man...unfortunately, I was unable to get a group for Ramps...so it took me a shit load of time to get to 61...


LFG RAMPS!

Wiggle...?

So I'm debating on whether or not I want to change my name. What do you think? Should I keep Wigglemon? or should I change it? I have the money, so that's not an issue, and I know that I would have to change my blog, but that's not a real problem neither...I just don't know if I want to change. I like the name; I just don't want to feel like I'm copying my friend. I was always about making real names in the past (Adynn and Nakah), and I think that is finally catching up to me. Oh well, I'll think about it.

Amazing trick shot

The link provided is an amazing trick shot done by Norm Duke. I don't understand...it blows my mind!!!!!

---------------------------

After reading my xanga...a wave of emotions crashed into my brain. Ranging from nostalgia to sorrow to regret, I have decided to never read my xanga again...

But, will that last?

Life

After this past weekend I have come to realize the impossibility of playing WoW in the summer. My goal this weekend was to hit 60 ( I was 55 ), however I failed to reach my goal. Saturday I was able to maintain my progress, but Sunday is when everything kind of went south. Saturday I hit 58, and after Sunday, I am still 58. Sunday I went bowling from 10-130, then I ate lunch and took a nap, and then I got a couple calls to hang out (so I did) and when I finally got home it was 10. I played for about 10-1145 and then I started getting ganked out the ass. I was super frustrated and upset, but before I threw my computer out of the window, I took two deep breaths and shut it down.

Even though I didn't reach my goal, I'm still very happy with my weekend. Spending time with friends and family really beats the hell out of WoW (lolz so sry). I really do pitty those people who spend countless hours each day just sitting in front of the computer playing this game. I wonder whether or not they truly have friends, or if they just make themselves believe they do to feel better. I know that when school starts, I tend to have more time to play because I don't usually go out during the week. It seems like, at least for me, that I am much much busier during the summer than I am during the school year. I have work, my gf, my friends, bowling, basketball, football, and then WoW. When I get home from work, I usually receive two or three calls to go hang out. Sure I would love to play more, but RL social interaction > WoW. What is nice, though, is when your friends also play WoW. So, whenever I go to a certain friend's house, I try to get some play time in.

When school starts, I will be playing much more than I am now. I'm actually kind of looking forward to it, because I do miss the game, and I still want to hit 70 before I die. I'm going to play as much as I can, but, in the mean time, my life has put WoW in queue.

PvPness

I ventured out into the 3v3 world last night, and I have to say, it was pretty fun. Although we didn't do well (9 wins 13 losses), it was a good experience. Our team make up was resto druid, shadowstep rogue, ms warrior (me). And I'm going chalk up our poor play to my inexperience in 3s and the fact that our gear was "terribad". Our resto druid was using a mixture of s1/s2 feral gear + vindicator's (still feral), and the rogue could have been 2-shot by his hunter main. My gear was decent...I guess, I have Stormherald and 3 blues + 1 green, everything else is purple (s1/s3 and vindicator's). Anyway, it was definitely an interesting experience.

We started off pretty bad, but I think we ended up evening out our last few games. We found that the rogue and I could not be on the same target because our healer would just get eaten alive. So, what we ended up doing was having me on one of the dpsers (lowest armored) and having the rogue lock down and pressure their healer. Fen, our resto druid, would CC the other player (usually a warrior but really it didn't matter), and we would go from there. Once we had that set up going, I would say we broke even.

Things I need to work on:

- saving rage for bursting

- timing my intimidating shout w/ other CC

- protecting my healer when he is trying to run away

- not using sunder armor as much (2s is different than 3s unfortunately)

(will think about more)

On another note, WIGGLEMON INSTANT LVL 70 PLZ K THX!

55 and counting...almost the Outlands ><

--------------------------------

I wonder how this opener would work against a mage...
Premed => CS => Expose Armor => vanish => prep => premed => garrote => hemo => KS

I realize that at one point during that time the mage will blink...so that's why I was saving the KS towards the end to take advantage of the CD. Also, if I had to, I could throw in a Shadowstep to close the distance if the mage managed to get away. Or, I could even use CoS so I can resist some of his shit. Or, I could switch out Expose Armor with Rupture. Anyway, just a thought.

I could also do the:
premed => garrote => rupture (w/o breaking sap) => run away and restealth

That would do a nice bit of damage and also allow me to get away, restealth and reopen with all my cooldowns minus 1.

As you can see, I really want to hit 70 lol...I really want to start pvping.

Ttttteam Make-up

I never realized how much team make-up effects arena pvp. I don't know why I never thought about it...but I guess I wanted to believe that skill can offset team make up (at least in the lower bracket). However, I seem to lack one of the key ingredients for that forumla, skill. I suppose I'm not good enough to make up for the shitty-ness of paly/war make-up now. I suppose that I definitely was not good enough to compete in a feral druid/ms warrior combo...which is why I've been leveling my rogue. I suppose that I will truly find my answer if I get my rogue to 70 beore WotLK and do mage/rogue arena with my friend. However, there is something in the near future that could test my abilities.

My feral druid friend has sold his soul and switched to resto. He isn't very well geared (for resto, that is) but that's okay. I figure if I can do relatively well with druid/war combo, then I won't have to end my life because of my suckiness.

Oh, and that's if he will do arenas with me :D I <3.

WOW I HATE YOU BLOG FOR DELETING THE SECOND HALF OF MY POST AFTER I POSTED IT AND YOU GAVE ME AN ERROR AND DIDNT LET ME RETRIEVE MY POST BUT INSTEAD JUST DELETED SHIT I HATE YOU!

Distract FTW

Okay, so, I managed to do something that I'm assuming very few rogues have ever done, since everyone says "you can't do it" or "if you ever consider it you're a noob". Well, call me a noob, but I managed to pull it off. So, what am I talking about?

Distraction
I was in an AB the other day, and as I was cleaning up 2 alliance bitches, I saw a frost mage riding towards me. I was at about 20% hp, so I thought to myself...Fuck, this sucks (I was at 0 deaths). So, I finished up the kill and proceeded to eat + stealth for a little time hoping to gain a little hp back. The mage ran towards my general direction, spamming AE of course, and when he got too close, I got up and started moving. Well, I opened up on him with cheap shot, and he blinked, so I sprinted and KS him...yada yada yada, and then I got frozen in place. He walked just out of my melee range (walked because he had crippling poison on) and then frost nova'd me to make sure that I would stay put. Now, here's the good part. He turned around (after walking a little bit more) and began casting frostbolt. Since I was on cooldown, I had to act quickly so I decided to try something "new"...I hit distract and made his bitch ass turn around, canceling his cast. I realize that that was probably not the smartest thing to do...since I could have stealthed, but he would have known where I was..and well I was on cooldown, okay? Anyway, that's beside the point. The point is, the mage dropped combat in the few seconds between the frost nova and the frost bolt. So, to all you non-believers, this shit does work...it just takes great reaction and timing...and I guess a little luck. BUT, I will agree that it is probably not something you want to rely on.

Oh, and I killed the mage...in case you were wondering...poor alliance...poor mage :( . 3 down for the Wiggle monster!!! ...fucking extreme.

- so I made the font smaller, do you like it? I like it...

Imp Expose Armerrrr?

*while I am leveling a Horde rogue atm, I have a 70 allie rogue (for those of you who will try to discredit me based on time of play)*

I have been doing some research on talent builds for rogues, and I think I have an idea of my what my final build will be. I know the cookie cutter build for everyone right now is either combat or mutilate, but I enjoy the benefits of subtlety. First of all, I don't like how combat plays, so I prefer to stay away from it. Secondly, mutilate is fun, but I truly enjoy the mobility of a subtlety rogue. I don't know why people hate on subt so much nowadays, because I still think it's a go-to build. Mutilate allows for the most dps output (with envenom and posions and all), but did I mention that I like the mobility of subt? The combat tree carries Imp Sprint which allows for the complete removal of movement impairing effects (which is cool) but I don't believe its a MUST HAVE talent.

Anyway, the reason for this entry is to talk about Expose Armor. 2 pts in this talent allows for a 50% increase in armor reduction. Sunder armor, fully stacked, reduces armor by 2600 and, from what I've read and experienced, is a must-use ability for warriors in arenas. Expose armor (without the talent) reduces armor by 2050, but with the talent, it reduces armor by 3075. In full season 3, a priest has ~2722 armor, a mage has ~3170, and a lock has ~2615. With an understanding of class and gear, we can rip through the opposition very quickly. However, there is no reason to always put the full 5 pts in for an Expose Armor with the talent. Imp EA will allow rogues to reduce more armor for less CP which translates into less time. With less time and energy spent applying combo points, I can use what I've saved to burst some more. When the clothies are down to 0, or close to 0 armor, dps will increase noticeably.

**Ranging from 12% (bear form druid) to 27% (clothie) Imp EA can increase a rogue's dps output dramatically. Also, the difference in dps increase between using EA and Imp EA is ~9% for clothies and rogues, 7% for hunters, 5% for shammies with a shield, 4.3% for plate + shield, and 4% for bear form druids which shows that the jump in DPS from EA to Imp EA is visibly noticeable.

Even though we all have our own styles of play, Imp EA should be taken seriously when spec'ing for arenas. Arena matches are lasting longer and longer and a way to stay in the game is EA. It allows for steady dps and does not sacrifice burst dps. Rogues can potentially be the most devastating class, but we must utilize all of our abilities to do so.

Arenas and pvp, etc.

Last night I did arenas with my paly partner, and it was excruciating. I don't know what the deal is but we went 4-7 (or 3-7 don't remember if we got one more game in). It was fucking stupid...we got matched with people in full s3 (or full s3 - shoulders). And then there was a team with a resto shammy in full s3 and a war in s3 - shoulders that wrecked us. The other players seem to just obliterate my paly. I don't know why...I thought paly's had amazing survival skills...but now that I think about it, this makes sense. This makes sense because I have an easier time killing palys than I do any other healing class (except priests cuz they so squishy!!!). I hate resto shammys and resto druids...my paly friend read on a forum that palys don't really do well in 2v2, and I also heard that paly/war doesn't do too well anymore. Even still, I know that we shouldn't have THIS MUCH trouble. I don't think we're bad players...I just don't know what the problem is. It is super frustrating, and it makes me want to just stop playing my war.

On another note, my rogue is coming along quite nicely. Wigglemon is level 48 (with rested past 49) and is a shit ton of fun. I have been doing AB to get marks so I can get an epic raptor at 60, and I love it. I'm not twinked, my spec is hybrid for pvp and leveling, and I still manage to be top of the dps charts. And it's not like I'm grouped with scrubs neither. I topped the chart in a bg with 4 twink rogues, 3 twink shammys, and 2 twink wars. I think there was a twink lock but I'm not sure. It's fucking awesome. So far only people who beat me easily are locks (just wait till I hit 70) and hunters. This gives me hope because I manage to defend a flag from 3 allies by utilizing the CC that I have and killing the sinlged out player. I love it. I love sap. I love blind. I love evasion. I love gouge. I love distract. I love vanish. And I LOVE preparation.

Anyways, I'm thinkin that I might just take a break from my war because I'm super frustrated. I can't wait till my rogue hits 70 (hopefully before WotLK) so I can do arenas with my frost mage friend. Oh well, now that my compy is fixed playing is much less stressful. I don't feel like killing myself every time that I log into WoW. It's amazing.

My last 2...

AB games have been disastrous...they have been so bad that I had to leave midway because I couldn't stand the suck. Horde are supposed to win! wtf man, wtf! *sigh* I need 22 more AB marks for my epic mount (no stupid epic chocobo for me, I want the raptor) but it seems like these 22 marks can either come extremely quickly, or slowly 1 at a time.

frustration frustration frustration

So, the question is: should I just level? or do I continue to farm marks? OH shit, I need to get my mining up too...god damnit.

PwR LvL 70 k Thx Bai!

so no one is in the office again...it's quite disturbing how quiet this building can be...it's really, really weird. But I can't complain because I just chill/do some work/watch videos. I love having a nice computer at my  disposal bahahahaha.

Anyway, I've been watching a lot of mage/rogue pvp videos, and they really make me want to get my rogue to 70...like, get there instantly. Unfortunately for me, I'm only level 45. A friend of mine has a 70 mage and the idea was to get my rogue to 70, and we'd do arenas with the mage/rogue combo. At this rate I don't know how much arena-ing we'll be doing. I know WotLK is still in the alpha, but I still gotta get 70 AND get some gear b4 I try doing arenas. I wish Wigglemon would already be 70 >.<.

Warrior HELP!

I was looking for some help with pvping on my war today...and all I find is -- PAY $30 AND YOU COULD BE BEAST! -- or -- $55 AND OBLITERATE EVERYONE!!

what happened to the people that wrote out shit just cuz they wanted to do it? I see rogue and mage guides..i'm sorry, i mean FREE mage and rogue guides all over the internet, but when it comes to warriors I have to shell out cash. The only pvp help site that I could find was made by Murth, a prot pvper. He apparantly gets into the upper 1900 while being prot which is funny as shit, but that does not help me at all when it comes to arms. Oh, and another thing, the "FREE" guides that I do find seem to be written for someone who has never ever touched an MMO before. It's frustrating because I know what "MS" means...I know what "hamstring" does...and I know wtf "zerker stance" is...jesus I just want some fucking help! Anything other than "hamstring more ftw". <-- nice. Epic Fail.

-------------

On another note, I'm at work, and no one is in the office. Slack off central! j/k I finished up all the work that I was given so I'm technically not slacking off. Anyways, I played my friend last night in Brawl. He said he was undefeated amongst his group of friends (which are my friends too, i just don't hang out with them that much), and I wanted to put that to the test. I was interested because I'm always looking for new people to brawl with. I love my regular brawlers, but new people are always refreshing. Anyhoo, we played the first game, Marth (me) vs. Fox (him) *with items* and my friend won with 2 lives to spare. I told him that "real skill" = no items haha so we changed it up.

The second game (Marth vs. Fox again) was much much closer. I ended up winning with 1 life...but I should have had 2. I wanted to finish him off when he was trying to get back onto the ledge, and since i forgot to change my profile, tap jump owned me. I didnt have my 2nd jump and i fell to my death. He died too, but it was an epic fail on my part because our lives went to 1-1.

3rd game wasn't even close. It was Lucario(me) vs. Kirby(him) and i 3-stocked him *5-total*. He said that he hadn't played kirby in awhile, and I could see the rusty-ness. His timing was off, and I capitalized on almost every mistake.

He has potential to be a good brawl player, he just needs to settle himself down. He gets a little frantic (i think its cuz he uses the wii-mote and nunchuck) and loses control. Honestly, I have more respect for his Fox playing than his Kirby playing -- but that may be cuz he hadnt played in awhile. Also, he doesn't really know much about the other characters and knowing the other move-sets is extremely crucial.

So...

So after reading my friends blog for the past year (Grumbledon) I decided that I, too, shall make a blog. Yes I gave in, and yes this will be mostly about gaming...but I figure that this should be  fun. I don't expect many people to read it...except for the people that actually know that I have this, and I like that. Frankly, xanga wasn't cuttin for me...and since I haven't updated my xangur in like 4 years....yeah a change was definitely needed.

Anyways, more to come...I'm at work right now slacking off.

I'm really excited -- I finally fixed my computer! No more artifacts and shit flying around my screen. No more spikes coming through my head and connecting to the mountains! The AH in SW is now fixed in the right place (before the front part of it stood out so my war would walk through it...only to discover that the AH was just a few steps away. The intake on my ATI Radeon X1900 XT was covered by a layer of dust (about 3mm thick) which prevented the heatsink from properly cooling my vid card. Luckily, my vid card was able to shut itself off in the past (which was very annoying esp when trying to do arenas) but prevented any serious damage happening to the card. I still have to keep the case open and have an external fan cooling my system cuz its too fucking hot in my room and the stock fan/heatsink suck ass. I'm thinking about getting a new heat sink, an accelero s1 rev2 i think, and replacing the stock one. It's only $25 dollars, and it will help me a lot with performance.

*NOTE TO SELF*: GET 70!!!!!
