Holiday Character
So I am going away on holiday and to get away from instancing and stuff I have created a new character on a new server. It is a Druid (my first ever one) and it is on the Alliance side. This shall be fun. It is just when I get bored on my holiday I can level instead of grinding dailies then being asked to tank some random instance. Have you ever done this?

Long time no see friend
So what has happened. I have been doing the new Hyjal dailies on my warrior, yet to miss a day. Yay. I chose Druid of the Talons because of Thisalee Crow (<3).  There was a bugged quest called Into The Fire and I made a ticket about it. The GM replied me saying we know about this and you can try walking round the left corpse hopping! Seems to be fixed now thankfully.  But the best...

Patch 4.2 talk
If you don’t want to know what happens just don’t read… . . . . Anyway whoever voices Aggra in patch 4.2 is just hot. Thrall and Aggra are just so romantic. What I don’t like is  (I play on a PvE server) morons who put their PvP on and stand in front/on top of the quest giver. Grinds my gears.

Doing Nexus and...
I was doing Nexus on Paladin (tanking ftw) and I was stuck in a group with one of these impatient types. Before the stone boss in Nexus there are mobs that run around him and come down, so I waited. Genius Hunter over there decided to pull them and with them came the boss. Needless to say we wiped. He didn’t do it again for the rest of the rest of the dungeon. Lesson learned old fruity.

DPSing
So on my Warrior I decided to do my first ever Heroic as a DPS, now I was pushing out 10k-11k DPS. Numbers that really don’t matter to me. However I was stuck with a tank whos sole intention was to piss off everyone in the group. He (or she?) kept saying “omg why is the DPS so low” or “You guys are really s###” you get the point.  At this stage I was having enough...

mimsie asked: Well if you want a PvP server I'd recommend either The Maelstrom (this is where the EU tumblr guild is) or the one I'm on which is Sylvanas. Sylvanas is high population, and a lot of top guilds play/used to play there (if you’ve heard of Method, they used to play on Sylvanas until they moved. The Maelstrom is medium population and you'd have people to play with, as...

Want to roll an Undead Warlock
mimsie: shockaholic: But can’t think a server :( I play on EU so you know tell me one!  What kind of server did you want? PvE? PvP? RP? And population? High? Medium? Low? :) (I would have replied or written in your ask box but it seems you have neither enabled :P just a heads up)  Hah, forgot that! Oh Medium/High my warrior is on a low server and it is dreadful :(.

Update!
The guild didn’t quite work out as planned. Oh well back on the tank anyway. Tanked Zul’Aman (did it for the first time since 70!). Apart from the 3rd boss it went very smoothly. Got two pieces of l00t (helm + pants).  Also been watching all patch trailers that Blizzard have released. What is your fav? Mine is the 2.1 (Black Temple).

Indecisive.
My characters: 85 Shaman (non-playable), 85 Mage (non-playable), 85 Rogue (sorta alt), 85 Warrior (main - tank). Now my Warrior Tank is going to be on a new server (brand spanking (;) ) new). So I am thinking what character I should make (and level) to compensate it. Was thinking between a Shaman and a Hunter. So I am letting it you Tumblr people who actually read my shiz. Have a good day.

./wave A bit about me
I notice that I have 14 followers. Didn’t know that many people are interested in my mundaneness. Here is some irl information.

day 05 — your favorite classic instance?
I have many! Dire Maul, Deadmines, Molten Core. But if I had to pick one it would Blackrock Depths. I adore that place and its complexity. Wailing Caverns is tremendous fun as well.

Was doing Grim Batol
So I was doing Grim Batol via the LFG. Group was brilliant, very interesting people who actually spoke(!). Group was comprised of me (Warrior tank), Holydin, Enh. Shaman, Fury Warrior and a Death Knight. The punchline? See below. The drops were all/mostly cloth…

Hunter Faci--I mean, Racials!
slashwho: I’ve been meaning to make some mini guides (role-specific tips for raids, trash guide, stable guide, etc) for awhile, but I’ve been really busy with other stuff (*gasp* what? a life?) lately. So thanks to a lovely anon, here’s a mini guide to which racial bonuses you have to choose from, and why looking pretty should count towards DPS. Read More

That Jason Mraz song
Its called I’m Yours. Just because it contains the word “Divine Intervention” a Paladin comes into my mind.  Every single time the song is played on the radio. Strange I know but…

Decided to level my Paloldin.
Gonna make a tank. I enjoy tanking. Its fun. PEW PEW. My warrior tank is immense fun. However its not a server I like very much apart from the guildies and as such I don’t want to move. So I have a Paladin on my first ever server (75 at the mo) and Ill move him to a new server to tank. Reasons why I hate my warrior’s server? - Poor Horde to Alliance ratio, I believe it is 15:1 (and...

Quite a few but there was this one guy (won’t name him) a Hunter who would need on every single item drop in our guild. Eventually after a few warnings I had to do what I don’t like to do. Boot him.

DPS who
slashwho: shockaholic: Did a PuG today with my Warrior tank. There was a mage who just kept DPSing either before I pulled a mob or whilst I was charging towards it. It got very frustrating but we managed to finish the instance.  Anyone else have hellish experiences with morons like this? We have a saying for this… “You spank em, you tank em.” I said that once … and then I got...

As a tank/healer
I healed mainly through Burning Crusade and Lich King. Since Cataclysm came out I have preferred to tank, because well healing can be boring (but I am leveling a priest so who knows!!).  What I want to voice my opinion is on the vanity pets for tanks. As a tank I think this is an absolutely moronic idea by Blizzard. Just leave it as is. DPS have an important role to play and please don’t...

How do you log out?
When you want to switch characters do you: A) Type /camp B) Click esc - > Log out C) Other? Just interested because some people I spoke to still do the Escape -> Log out which is more time consuming!

My 'Silly' Character Names
So sometimes people question the names of my World of Warcraft characters. How dare they! A brief explanation. Firstly, I suck at making names. My imagination is that of an ant that is 5000 years old. So here are some (not all!) of my characters from 2005 onwards. My mage is named after me (my real name). That took great skill and imagination. My Shaman (Shockaholic) was created when Burning...

Tank-Tank
Tanked Grim Batol on the Warrior. Normal of course, still don’t think I am ready for heroics. As far as gear goes I do have 2 shiny purples! The Blacksmithing Belt + shield.  But what I wanted to post most about is that there was a discussion where people were talking about old stuff in WoW. Now, personally, I find this to usually end up in “OMG I am an old player so I am instantly...
