I've been trying to finish Reg Halls Of Reflection on my warlock

He doesn't have good enough gear to get in heroic according to lfg so I was trying to do it on regular to finish the quest chain. I got in a group we killed the first 2 bosses easily enough and the shield didn't drop so of course the tank bailed so he could re-queue. a couple of us waited 10 minutes or so, but when we didn't get anyone it fell apart. So I re-queued. I got the same tank with a whole different group. Blow through the first 2 bosses, no shield, he drops group again. Now this time I was with a very patient group. Everyone waited 35 minutes and we didn't get another tank, so everyone said thanks but I've got other things to do. I really appreciated that and they were great we talked about a bunch of stuff while we were waiting, they were a great group. I understand why the tank did it. but I would just like to put this out there. Its only another 10 minutes max, you really could help out everyone else and maybe get some good karma points for yourself towards getting the shield to drop.

It's not that easy to gear up your alts.

Well it is but trying to do the heroic grind on some of my alts just makes me not want to play. I did a little math and to get the 4 piece t9 and the triumph helm it would take you 59 heroic dungeons to get that done. I can barely do one or two before I start losing my marbles I've done them all so many times. Normally this leads me to playing my alts but now that they are all in Northrend its more of the same dungeons I've run so many times I just can't do them anymore and quests I've done 5 or 6 times that don't interest me right now. I have 4 71-76 alts I don't really feel like playing much and 8 80's 3 who don't really need gear and 5 that need so much it gets frustrating thinking about grinding out more. So yes epics may be falling from the sky but just because they are doesn't make getting them really that fast or very much fun. I almost feel like I should start an arena team like I did in BC but I haven't been doing any pvp so I don't have any pvp gear and thinking about grinding for it well see above lol. I do miss bg's a little bit so maybe I will do a little pvp and see if that feels more fun.

I'm a little mad at Blizzard

They taunted me with the Frigid Frostling. I got it on my Druid on my old server the first day of the holiday. I just play him because he's one of my favorite toons and I have an insane amount of fun being a boomkin. I didn't transfer him because I still wanted to have one decently geared toon over there to be able to run stuff with a few of my friends who still have toons there. So anyway got the frigid frostling first day, and then proceeded to run it on my main everyday for the rest of the holiday (except for this weekend as I was out of town visiting friends and attending a wedding, and had a great time). Of course no luck. I also missed a day when Blizzard had our server down for 24 hours (thanks for doing that during a holiday, grrr). Now I am not crazy pet collector or anything but I have spent a good amount of time collecting them and have 57 pets (some of you probably think that is crazy, but trust me I know someone who is upset there is not an achievement for 125 pets). I was collecting pets before the had the cool pet tab and had a bag with a bunch of pets in it and carried some of my favorites with me all the time. I even used to have a thing where I would bring out mini-wing when were having a hard time because it almost always brought us good luck. So nothing game breaking by any means but it is a cool pet and I was just disappointed that I couldn't get it this year. I will more than likely still be playing next year but hey you never know(TOR could have a mighty pull).

I hate Heroic Halls of Reflection

I know strong words right. That place just gets my hackles all in an uproar. the trash is just vicious and there is not even a second to think before the next group spawns. I am basically ratcheted up for 10 waves of brain frying pressure. Now I really like tanking and having a challenge is all well and good but that place just...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Sorry I just had to get that out. I don't know what it is exactly that gets me but it seems like something goes wrong at just the wrong time every time I'm there. Somethings on cooldown or somebody pulls ag before I can get them, and if they get by me anybody else can easily be 1-2 shotted and consecrate doesn't do enough when they simply run on it for a second. Then that stupid hunter will disengage out and start shooting my healer and the mage will see someone and not come to the corner and will sit back there and blast away. Alright I don't even want to think about it anymore

Beer is good

Beer is good
and stuff!!

By a band called Psychostick. Its a good one. I needed that. OK I'm better now. I am starting to enjoy some of the more challenging aspects of the new heroics. I have even started using some CC here and there to smooth out the process a bit here and there. I know that they listen now because all you could here about was the death of CC from the blogosphere for the last year so what did they do for these dungeons basically force-feed CC down our throats, casters all spread out around the room, there's no way I can gather up all those groups for my party to fast twitch their AOE button and smack-down the bad guys(Trust me I tried it wasn't pretty). That's all I guess I just needed to get that out of my system.

What does Blizzard have against fun?

/Rant incoming
Ok I wasn't going to make a big stink out of some of these things but adding them up has made me a little irked. First why did they make the War Mammoth a regular mount, I loved having it as a siege vehicle and the first thing I did when I got it was jump out of the sewers of Dalaran to the ground with passengers on to freak them out and not die. This was not some huge game changing maneuver but it makes the mount less special to me because of that. Also I know that the more ghoulish aspects of Death Knights was making them OP in PVP and Arena but taking away the ability to turn into a ghoul when you die, I thought was a class defining roles. If you wanted to balance it make it so you can't use it in Arenas but don't just dump it because some people complained about it. Also turning into a ghoul after you die was pretty epic and one of the more fun parts of being a Death Knight. Then hotfixing pallies with this ninja nerf to Exorcism for PVP, I mean come on yes we do alot of burst damage but once the bubble is gone we are mincemeat. Pallies rely on burst to stay viable in PVP if you take away the burst you take away the viability unless your going to make some major changes to give more throughput and damage over time to our other abilities or added abilities because without exorcism we have 3 melee attacks (judgements, Crusader Strike, Divine Storm) and one aoe spell (consecration) that's not alot of options or variety. Yes I know there is a post about this nerf and they are looking into what to do but that doesn't mean I can't bring it up its my rant. I also miss the old warlock talent that was in the place of nemesis. I don't remember if it was called nemesis I don't play my lock a ton. It use to give you a buff that increased your shadow damage now it just reduces cooldowns. Buffs fun, cooldown reductions meh. alright that's all

Please don't put points in Sacred Cleansing

This is a Rant! Please do not put points in Sacred Cleansing!! I am by no means an expert Holy Paladin but please for the love of all things Holy (get it) do not put points in Sacred Cleansing. It might be the worst talent of any build of any spec of any class in the game. A 3/10 chance to give a 3/10 chance to resist a debuff. Ughhh!! This is completely worthless in PVE and not even really worth it in PVP although somewhat defensible in that aspect of the game. So please if you read this and know someone who doesn't now better let them know they are making the rest of us "want to eat a bee" (I stole that quote from Ferraro of Paladin Schmaladin). Thank you /end rant

Instance server not available????

If you have read my blog before you may know we are not a large guild. We do not have 10 80's yet with which to run 10mans. :( So we run dungeons (usually on normal). Well this bit about instance full or instance not available is pretty ridiculous, especially with all the dungeon based requirements for the Lunar festival. I am really getting disappointed in Blizzard at this point. I play WOW so I don't have to go out and spend money, I know the economy is bad but l2buynewservers.

My friend and I did manage to fish up Lurker though (hahaha he hit us hard). Levitate on others ftw!
