Heya guys!!  SO!!  How are you doing?  ;)   Heh.  Life is…twitchy.  Yeah, sounds weird right?  I know!  Sometimes life throws you a curve ball.  And sometimes it serves it to you straight up.  But when you were expecting a curve ball, and got it straight.  Sometimes it’s worse than getting the curve ball.  Because then you really WERE expecting something else.  Ha!

In my life I have a million things that I want to get done.  My head is racing a million times a minute!!  And of course I don’t have nearly enough time to tackle everything.  Same for you guys too I’m sure!!  So that is part of why I backed off of blogging some.  Simply put, never enough time to ever do everything I want to do.  It’s weird.  I didn’t used to be like this.  I used to always have TONS of time.  But life through me a straight pitch.  And now I’ve got a million things that I want to get done.

 

Sarth 3 Drake

Yeah, that’s right!!  PIMP SLAPPED THAT HO!!!  Heroic: The Twilight Zone!!  Finally!!  Been like 4 weeks now or more that SK has been doing this fight and I finally stopped missing it!!  Woot!!

2 out of 3 of those items are now mine!!!  Bwahahaha!!!  Yeeahhh Booiiii!!!!

Picked up the 22 slot Dragon Hide Bag with an epic roll of 26!!  That’s right!!  Epic rolling skills!!  Heh, it did help that almost all of the guild have previously beaten me who knows how many times, and like only 5 other people rolled.  >.<  But shhhh…

I also picked up my T7.5 Gloves tonight as well.  That only leaves 2 items left to complete my set.  Darkmoon Card: Greatness and Valorous Scourgeborne Battleplate.  Then I’ll basically have the last of my “wishlist” for T7 content.

 

Power Leveling

So the other night we were in Deadmines and just…I like this picture!!  :D

Good times, lol!!  It got interesting later on when we went into SM, rofl.  So my friend got tied up doing a corpse run.  I missed some mobs, and she got agro…  >.<  Whoops!!  Well I decided it’s be a bright idea to go pull the entire zone of SM Undead.  And I literally mean, *ALL* of it!!

WoW told me to “F” off!!  OMFG, lol!!  When I got them all back to the entrance where my friend was waiting I dropped DnD and was about to Pest out a disease…  ROFL, no shot!!  My screen locked up, and stayed locked up.  I have no idea how many mobs were there, but OMFG it was ludicrous!!  So yeah, don’t try to pull an entire zone.  WoW will DC you, causing you to die, rofl.  I probably would have lived through them all, had the game not kicked me, lmao.

 

Blood Disease-less Spec

Right…so people have been going nuts over this spec, bugging me online, etc.  Keep your pants on people!! :P

I took this into Sarth25 man 3 Drake tonight to try to get an initial feel for it.  I did ok with it.  Considering I have not been to a Sarth 3 Drake in over a month, and it was my first time with the spec ever, I was happy.  Did about 4100 DPS, when the highest was 4500 I think for my guild on that run.  Did like number 7?  I kept on firing off PS/IT out of pure habit though…  >.<  And made a few mistakes.  I know I could have done more actually.  But I got in some “air” time.  Which was good.

I’ll be rolling this one in Naxx25 tonight.  Get some practice in, etc.  And once that is done, I’ll get a post up for you guys with more info on this spec.

 

3.0.9 / 3.1 Patch

It’s hard for me to keep track sometimes with whom I tell what.  I forget when I’ve told a story or factoid to someone.  I try not to be as bad as some of my friends who will tell the same damn story 10 different times, but overall I do tend to repeat myself from time to time.  Ah well…

I told someone that basicaly if 3.0.9 patch released at all it would be a minor patch and barely even see the light of day on PTR.  And as the prophecy skills of SJ dictated, so it was!!  :P   Hehe.  3.1 is going to be hitting PTR soon guys.  These guys were already working on this before they ever started working on 3.0.8 release.  3.1 is Uludar.  The art, concept, encounter design, etc…was all already prepped to go.  They’ve more or less been doing tweaking and/or balancing while finishing itemization with the data that has been collected from all current raid encounters. 

But otherwise most of the work was well done before.  Now it’s balace time, final design, and class balance.  I would expect to see 3.1 hit PTR within a month from this day.  Possibly in as little as 2 weeks.  It’s now more of a question of when Blizzard decides they’re ready to let people test things, which is more likely going to be dependent on the Uludar encounter design team.  So expect movement soon!!

 

Friends in Need!!

If you missed my post on the 10th…

Coming Soon!! Yeah, yeah…I’m gonna post the Blood Disease-less details already!!

Some of you guys have left some nice comments there, on THAT post, about wishing my friend’s kid well.  I thank you.  Tons.  You have no idea.  In fact if you keep leaving comments THERE on THAT post, I plan on telling them to check it later on to see the wished you guys have given.

I’ve been thinking on this one for a while.  I’ve never put up ads, asked for money, etc…  But I’m *really* thinking about it this time.  You may see me relatively soon be putting up a donation link to PayPal or something for donations to help my friend out.

If you didn’t read that post, my friend’s kid has cancer and isn’t doing that great.  Even in the best of care, they don’t even have a 50% chance success rate of remission for their kid.  So don’t be surprised to see something up on my site relatively soon about this.

I don’t expect anyone to contribute.  I’d never expect or assume that of my readers.  But, if you decide to.  Even if it’s only a few bucks.  It’d be nice.

If you have ANY idea about who this person is, KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT.  And I mean it.

If you have ANY idea if there’d be any kind of complications with setting up a Pay Pal account to just send them money, due to tax reasons, etc, gimme a shout out please.  Don’t need to get my arse in trouble with the IRS.

Grats on the heroic! On the DM pic, it’s Death Knight dead art hehe. You might want to talk to a tax pro about the pay pal deal though, or just have your friend set up the link and have everything go to them directly.

Your computer locks up when you pull a whole zone? Must be your computer… I do it all the time. Cathedral is especially fun, because all you have to do is run in and aggro Mograine, and you automatically have the whole zone on you.

My fiance and I did that at 70 with his pally tank and that trinket that heals you a little when you block. He’d pop that and go back to full health almost instantly. There was a lot of loot that day.

I tried this spec out yesterday and did a heroic CoS timed run. Blowing all my cooldowns on the drake boss I pushed 4300 DPS and 4100 on meathook. I have to say I am very impressed, I am usually unholy and love it but this is a pretty cool spec to play with. Thanks for the post :) !

Jack, i tried looking for your post on your buddies child and couldnt find it.

I am normally not a very religious person, but, I will be praying for your friends child. I wish the little guy/gal well and hope things turn around for the family. That child has a lot to live for and its really sad that something so inicent has to endure that. I have 2 children of my own and I don’t know how I would react to that kind of situation so I won’t lie and say that I know how they feel. Again I will be praying for a medical turn around for the child. If you get the legal side of things taken care of with the paypal donations please post something.
