Mining for XP :)
I still dig it, I may level my new DK strictly with mining and incidental combat (leave me alone mob standing 20 feet from the mine you can't mine it anyways). Its fun just running around listening in guild chat and just enjoying the game again. I am pretty sure I am gonna transfer my Shammy over to be my feeder toon. He is still only 80 but I like playing him and I am pretty good at it so if I put in a little effort I might be a decent backup lol. Who needs cannon fodder "We Do, We Do!!" I only have one plan and thats to have fun, everything else is gravy boats.

Back in the game!
Well I logged back in setup my addons and created a couple new characters over on Grimms server. I am now a member of Eff the Ineffable. It seems like an awesome place to hang out, guild chat was busy without being annoying, everybody seemed pretty cool and there are some much more well known bloggers than me. I almost had a bit of a Fanboy moment when I heard who one of our guildies was, but I restrained myself. I was shocked someone in the guild besides Grimm had actually heard of me. First time in game someone I didn't know or contact first actually had heard of me. I have to admit that was kind of cool. So we will see how the return to the world (of warcraft) goes but for now fun is the rule, and tonight was pretty fun. I ran thorough the new Gnome starting area which is pretty well done if I must say, a little short compared to the newest races but you can't have everything lol. I am not quite ready to commit to transferring anything over but we'll see how it goes. So anyways, its good to be back

Who needs a life or My 8th 80

Its been a week or so but there she is. My only female toon over 19 lol. I will soon have an 80 of every class besides rogue (pshw we will speak of them no more) as my mage is 74. All you have to do is get layed off for a while and you too can have a boatload of 80's (not recommended). It took me quite a while to get my warrior to 80 as she was one of my first toons I created but it just never clicked with me until more recently and when a toon falls behind they don't get nearly as much attention as your main does. I have got her able to tank the easy heroics and run random on her every couple of days but with my Pally, Shammy, and Priest all very well geared they get the most attention and consideration for raid spots. I currently have no plans to push her into ubergeared territory. Most of my leveling will be put into my mage or my druid depending on what I feel like at the time. I also have my second hunter at 73 and my second alliance dk at 71 and my horde dk at 74 .I am getting a little burnt out on Northrend leveling honestly. There is a good variety and some fun quests but I hit the low to mid 70's and I just don't even want to login on those toons lol. Mostly I'll just do a random and maybe a daily or a quest or two while I wait and then switch. My horde dk has been on the bench for three months now as my friend and I that level together over there have not logged into them for a while. Tonight some more fun in ICC maybe we'll even kill Putricide(here's for hoping). Have fun out there everybody!

Updated rollcall: My toons or Critting you with a Walloftext
Okay, so on to the real toons.
Mistrk: My tank, my original toon, the one who gets the majority of my attention. He is ready to kill Deathbringer Saurfang, my gear is right where I want it. the number of upgrades I am really looking for is very small, just the necklace off of Marrowgar, the bracers from the
aforementioned roadblock and just getting the 95 frost emblems for my next piece of t10 and farming primordial saronite on my other toons to craft the boots(1 down 4 to go). I have worked really hard to get to where I am with him now and I can't honestly think of an encounter I couldn't tank if given the chance.
Youbetcha: Formerly Surething on Nath my shammy is getting decently geared pushing some solid 3k+ dps for an alt, and is also a lot of fun, Lava burst crits can put a smile on your face when they go for 12k, he is my primary primordial saronite farmer right now since he is my only other 80 on Alleria but hopefully that won't be for too much longer.
Iamthetick: Version 2.0(I know fail on originality but I just like then name and I was sure I wasn't going to transfer the other one so) He is now level 70, I have started working him through Northrend but its going slower than I would like because I am really tired of leveling through Northrend. randoms help but at the low 70's you are stuck doing UK over and over again, ughh.
Lilangrydude: My DK is 71 and I am slowly leveling him as my second tank(third if you count warriorbabri, but she's on hiatus right now, lol). He is also my JC so I do get that daily done every day, he already has three epic patterns so that is going well. I am enjoying tanking with him right now because its pretty easy and most people appreciate seeing a good DK tank because they are the primary bad tank out there. Not that they are all bad it just seems more bad tank situations turn out to be DK's who just want a faster queue time but don't really know what they are doing.
Rootandnuke: My druid is moving fast (heirloom gear is crazy at the lower levels, 5 levels in a day is easy without really trying. Honestly I just like druids, they offer so many different options they just are fun. I only really enjoy being a boomkin though so hopefully I can get to that level quickly and get to the point where I am not oom all the time.
Septicktank: The only other toons I play at all are on Bloodscalp. I don't put a ton of time in over there but occasionally my friend Tom and I will level our High level horde toons together. we are both 74 and really looking forward to finishing the Wrathgate questline from the Horde perspective. My DK over here is purely damage as my friend has a warrior tank. makes for clearing content ultra quick with both of us.
Ibeatarse: My 44 horde hunter is an anomaly I wanted to level a horde toon and I am a big fan of hunters so he is a lot of fun. One thing about playing him though is I don't know where anything is on the hordeside so its way slower leveling. I go in spurts with him, but eventually he'll get leveled up because I am crazy.
Well thats the 14 toons I have put any real effort into. I have 40 created toons between 10 servers most of the others range from 1 to 10 as bank alts or toons to check out other servers. A couple are for when my other servers are down but that is a lot more rare than it used to be. Thinking about it the realms are way more stable then they used to be a couple years ago, looking at it I have a 14 on a server that used to up when Nath was down. I totally forgot about him. Its interesting to really look at all the toons you have out there when you have crazy altitis like I do.
Well that was extensive and a good look back. We are taking a shot at the roadblock tonight. I watched a couple videos to see some strategy's and so hopefully there will be a post tomorrow of our awesome victory (Yes and SS or it didn't happen lol).

My WOW year in review
January: I had only been 80 a short time and I was still running the regular instances to help gear up for heroics (right, who does that anymore, lol). I had my one 80 and was running with some of my friends who were still leveling up their toons to 80. Mostly January was me running regular Halls of Lightning and not getting the defense trinket.
February: I finally got that stupid trinket on my 16th try of Halls of Lightning that was probably the highlight of my month. I started running heroics with some guildies and worked on leveling a bunch of my alts (who now mostly sit on my old server abandoned). I was also deciding what my dual-specs were going to be for my toons.
March: This month was a really weird one for me as my account got hacked and that was an awesome experience, I also joined up with some friends to do the Arena Tournament which was actually alot of fun. Other than that I just leveled alts as my guild wasn't really doing much
April: The Corsairs finally stepped into a raid as a guild even if it was to 9man Voa and Sarth but at least it was something. We also started working on Naxx a little bit and got through Spider Wing and I thought we were on our way to start raiding, finally.
May: We mostly spent May wiping on Heigan. He was our nemesis and not being able to consistently down him was the beginning of the end of our raiding team. We did finally bring in a ringer to get us through Heigan but it was the beginning of the end. I also got layed off at the end of the month.
June, July, August: I'm lumping these together as I didn't really do much during this time but level my alts. We tried Gluth a couple of times as a guild but couldn't get him and a few people just decided they didn't want to raid anymore, or at least that's what it seemed like. I was layed off all summer so I basically just searched for jobs and played WOW when I could. A group of my guildies at the time had started leveling up horde toons on a different server and so our guild never seemed to have anybody on.
September: This was my triumphant return to blogging and working. The Brewfest event was going on so we killed ol' Coren Direbrew til I couldn't stand it anymore. I debated dual-speccing my priest Holy/Disc which I did and worked out well. This is also when I found out you can't skin low level rabbits anymore. I am still very perturbed by this.
October: My new beginning, as I joined my new guild. I was raiding, for real, I finally saw the inside of Ulduar and ToC. I learned alot and started having fun in game again and have been making a ton of new friends. We downed Sarth +1 a couple of times. We cleared through Naxx in record time a couple of times. Our most frustrating fight was Ignis because we trying to find a strategy that worked for us.
Novemeber: This was a month of learning new encounters as we failed on Malygos a couple of nights but had a victory over Onyxia on a different night so at least we keep working together and having fun while doing it. I also got my 6th 80 (mostly thanks to a summer of being layed off much easier to level alts in short amounts of time).
December: Its been a blur mostly with the holidays and seeing old friends and the new LFD giving me so many emblems they burn a hole in my pocket. We had a interesting first go against a overpowered Marrowgar and made even more progress through Ulduar. We did have on failboat night on Ony but you can't win them all. I even missed last nights run because a friend of mine from California was in town this week and it was the only night we were going to be able to hang out at all. I should be sporting my 4piece t9 for tanking tonight so maybe we'll see what we can do and kill some more raid bosses. I have also been running with a friend of mine on a different server and we have been running horde as of now we have 2 72 toons working on Northrend and being really tired of UK it seems to come up alot in LFD at level 71.
So there you have it another glorious wall of text from yours truly. I am so looking forward to the new year and having a lot more fun in game and meeting even more friends and writing more blog posts to entertain and amuse.

Altitis in full swing

Back in Northrend
Wednesday, January 7, 2009
Weekend Update (on Wednesday ha)
Mistrk: Level 80 Paladin Tank. Currently sitting in Shatt doing the fishing dailies for the achievement 2/5 done. Ready to run whenever we have a group of 80's but noone ever seems to be on their 80's
Chowyunfat: 76 Druid Boomkin. Headed to Sholazar Basin with Gracus my friends Arms warrior. We are burning through stuff real fast, we can pretty much do any group quest with just the 2 of us, but I spend alot of time out of moonkin form healing :(
Newguy: 74 Discipline Priest. Will be leveling with Lafrentz finishing up Dragonblight and moving into Zul' Drak, I'm skipping Grizzly and ZD with Chow, just Grizzly with Newguy. (I just don't like droprate quests and Grizzly Hills is full of them, so for all the cool quests that are over there I get frustrated by all the droprate ones so just skipping it all together)
Septictank: 65 Unholy DeathKnight. About halfway through Zangarmarsh will probably just go straight to Nagrand from there running with Miaka my friends DK, you may have noticed a trend in that I am running them all with someone well its just faster, quests get done quicker stuff dies faster and its more fun when you run with your friends not to mention the amount of ganking is far less when theres 2 of you to deal with.
Warriorbarbi: 63 Arms Warrior. She's my solo project when I am the only one on and running I'm usually leveling my warrior. Just getting her started in Zanger. Having alot of fun with her don't know if she's destined for tanking or not.
Surething: 20 Elemental Shaman. My inscriptionist and am learning I like being an elemental shaman lightning bolts are fun, Still tooling around in Azuremyst for a little while probably will send him to Redridge and Duskwood
Happymadison: 40 Frost Mage. My poor mage so much fun and really liking the heavy frost talents but she sits in Ironforge as my auctioneer. I will probably be moving her back out to finish Theramore quests soon, need to level her so I can make gems
Psychostick: 50 Demon Warlock. He is ready to go, I was turning in some left over quests and getting ready to send him out when I got pulled into a group run for something else, plaguelands ahoy. I'm sure he will get in some runs soon because we have a whole group of alts sitting at 50 so that will help him get out there too
Iamthetick: 72 BM Hunter. I know, what is he doing way down here, and after all that talk about how excited I was about them and all of the OP that is currently going on well I just don't have the hunter itch right now, I got all my new pets and have leveled some Engineering and Alchemy but I am content with him right now, I like him where he is and he can run with all the low levels in dungeons as they level. I am sure the itch will come back soon :)
I'll probably turn Booyarogue into my bank/auctioneer just because I have no plans to level her anytime soon
Well thats the rollcall I have really let my horde toons slide since the expac came out, oh well maybe some day right

My discipline spec and rotation
58/0/3
Discipline tree
Tier 1
Twin Disciplines: 5/5
Good for damage and healing good for everyone as far as I can tell
Tier 2
Improved Inner Fire: 3/3
Always good for leveling as more charges means its more set and forget but with the change to inner fire buffing spellpower you are going to want to have this buff on at all times and increasing it by 15% only makes it better
Improved Power Word: Fortitude: 2/2
I think this is the most powerful buff in the game honestly, and making it better only makes sense to help with our inherent squishieness
Tier 3
Meditation: 3/3
The real reason to spec discipline. almost all priests are going to go this far just for this 30% mana regen while casting, yes please!
Inner Focus: 1/1
Hmm, a free spell with 25% increase to crit yeah I'm taking that and using it every cooldown
Improved Power Word: Shield: 3/3
The true power of Discipline is in the power of your shields, you can kill most things without ever losing your bubble (even 2-3 mobs usually just means I have to cast buble twice) This is mandatory!! good for soloing and splash damage in instances
Tier 4
Mental Agility: 5/5
10% less mana for all instant cast spells (shield and renew staples of discipline)
Tier 5
Divine Spirit: 1/1
Was the talent behind the term "Divine spirit priest" a good buff for us with meditation, more spirit more mana regen, and a great buff for druids, warlocks, and arane mages
Improved Divine Spirit: 2/2
Making a good talent great, and even more so in Northrend, if its cloth it has spirit and if it has spirit it means 100% more spellpower, gotta have it!!
Mental Strength: 5/5
15% more Intellect, more mana, more crit, more regen all good things
Tier 6
Enlightenment: 5/5
More Stam, Spirit and Haste all good things take it and enjoy
Focused Power: 2/2
2 points 4% more damage and healing sounds good to me
Tier 7
Power Infusion: 1/1
Not as clear a buff as it used to be but I think its actually better overall, cast on yourself whenever its up and casters you group with will thank you everytime your nice enough to buff them with it.
Reflective Shield: 3/3
Just awesome for leveling they hit you almost half of the damage they would have done hits them instead, if you keep your shield up all the time this is a must have for leveling yeah for free damage
Tier 8
Rapture: 5/5
You heal you get mana back, you shield someone taking damage (including yourself) you get mana back your going to be doing those things anyway might as well get mana back while doing them
Tier 9
Divine Aegis: 3/3
More damage absorption is always a good thing and since tanks are putting out so much more threat from damage, This shouldn't hurt warriors and druids building rage and keeping aggro
Pain Suppression: 1/1
Someone pull ag from the tank who is much squishier pain suppression is the answer for all those warriors with no ag drop and ret pallies who's bubble always seems to be on cooldown or have forbearance. Also good if you happen to pull too many and can't bubble because of weakened soul
Grace: 2/2
Lets see so I heal the tank and he takes less damage and I heal better yeah that sounds good to me.
Tier 10
Borrowed Time: 5/5
So after I bubble someone I get to cast faster, and the more spellpower I get (which is my primary stat the more my shield absorbs for yes I think I will take that.
Tier 11
Penance: 1/1
The damage numbers may look a little lackluster but it is very effective and I use it almost every cooldown healing or soloing.
Shadow Tree
Tier 1
Spirit Tap: 3/3
You mean after I kill something I regen 50% of my mana while casting and it stacks with Meditation ok if you insist.
As I level the rest of my points will be spent in Holy, with Improved Renew and either 2 points in Holy Specialization so I can get Divine Fury, or 5 in Holy Specialization and 2 in Aspiration over in Discipline. I'm not sure yet.
On my spell rotation, its usually a pretty simple bubble, Holy Light, Penance, Shadow Word: Pain, Devouring Plague, Smite, Shadow Word: Death. If they are not ready for SW: Death at that point I usually just Mind Blast or Smite again. But with some decent gear and all the mana regen available I never worry about mana and stuff dies really quickly, I am usually looking at 10 seconds left of bubble when I loot.
Glyphs on the way to 80
As you only get major glyphs before 80 I recommend
Glyph of Power word: Shield
More free heals is awesome
Glyph of Renew
More powerful renew is better even if you have to cast it more often
For minors its really what you feel like but I recommend
Glyph of Levitate
Bag space!!
Glyph of Shadowfiend
Just in case
Glyph of Fortitude
Helpful on rebuffing and less downtime drinking
Your mileage may vary
Well thats about everything if you have any other questions or some suggestions please feel free!!
