2.0!

Downloaded the patch last night. Server was still down when I tried to log on before I left for work. Having a crazy day at work and it looks like I will be here late, so I skipped lunch to check out the new 2.0 Rogue Talents and played around with a few specs. Also avoiding the mall. Am going 41 points into Sub tree for now, before we start raiding again when BC hits the shelves. Have two possible dagger builds for later; one of them is a 30/26/5 Seal Fate dagger build that I might try, the other would be 15/41/5 Combat build. I’ve never raided as an SF rogue before. One thing for sure, I need a main hand sword before BC.

The priest hits 60

Been semi-raiding again. Got the priest (Qcumbie) to 60 at long last, motivated by a bunch of ZG loots that I got defaulted at 58.. including epic robes! Respecced to healbot. Dead broke. Now for attunements and whatnot, but have been a bit lazy. Seem to be the only active rogue in the guild at the moment after leaving Thundermare and going back to WDK, so have been mainly on her. Need to save money for Christmas and New Years’ so putting some money towards my WoW account fees is a great idea. Was bored with the game for awhile so I let my account lapse when I was in Australia. Previous guild was falling apart (internal conflict) so our raids have been quite shitty. From getting to Twin Emps to not even being able to take Nefarian down, partly due to core players taking a break before Burning Crusade releases. Guess I will never get my Bloodfang Chest at this rate. Back to 20mans, including Onyxia, which was really fun because there was no room for errors. On first try we 17-manned Ony to 1%.. bit of a WTF situation at the end, but fun :) Better than spending Sat night partying I suppose.. don’t use that against me!

6/8 Bloodfang

Finally got my Bloodfang Pants off Ragnaros last night. Had a stable 300ms connection until I zoned in. Then it just kept screwing up. I don’t know if thats a Blizz problem or a Streamyx problem but it was immensely frustrating. On the same Streamyx connection I would be getting different latencies when I reconnect to the server. Didn’t feel like I deserved it at all last night, but I have been waiting three months for it.. having been a smart arse and passed on the first drop, and then a mistake with loot distro on the second drop left me running more MCs than I need to. I even had the ZG enchant ready for a month now. I actually enjoy MC runs but not when people scrub it up and we wipe unnecessarily. Two more pieces till I’m done with Tier 2. I wonder what the gap would be like till we get access to Tier 2.5.. probably a long while more. We’re only up to Princess Huhuran in AQ40 at the moment. So much for Naxxramas :(

Post 1.19

Finally got a chance to try my new build out in BWL. Been missing a few raids in the past two weeks, and since 1.12 I’ve only PvPed (not too terribly). So far it’s been quite fun. 2 points in SoH (sub tree) plus the 5 pc Bloodfang set bonus gives me an extra 20% + 25% threat reduction bonus from Feint (Rank 5). More energy into backstabbing! And full points in WEx gives me approximately 3% raid DPS increase.. with the other standard combat dagger talents.. thats about as PvE as I get, really.. more later when I get to try out this build further.

Battlegroup 9

I never realised PvP was this much fun.. until I jumped into a guild raid! OMG! It’s nice getting heals for one.. Time to respec hee hee

Hello, World!

Decided to upgrade my MacBook Pro order to the 2.0 after waiting ages for 1.8 stock, and then I got it almost immediately. Tinkering with it now and attempting to mirror it to my work machine settings. I have to admit, I can’t wait to test out the graphics card.. heh. THANK GOD WOW IS A UNIVERSAL BINARY APP.. I <3 Blizzard~!
