I play WoW a fair bit, got numerous alts by my first love is my DK on Terokkar. I hate the term "hero" class though.

I'm specc'd unholy / frost (THE way to go for DPS) and tank now and again in blood. I'm in a social guild and we're trying to crack BPC in ICC - our Warlock keeps dying as he keeps ballsing up on the Dark Nebuli.

I will come back at Cata, but other than the news races little excites me about it. I have been playing Allods (Russian free to play game) and it's a BLASTY! Love the Arisen race. Also, I am waiting for Guild Wars 2 and Star Wars The Old Republic. Not sure how long I will even play wow after Cata comes next feb (or there abouts), with SWTOR in mayish, and GW2 sometime next year I may have to uninstall WoW altogether... which wouldn't break my heart.

I might get the Star Wars game, not sure yet.

DK mechanics are rough in beta or so I'm told, a lot more waiting on GCDs etc. And they've removed bone shield from unholy. Gyah.

However, T10 is meant to be upgradable, so my frosties haven't gone completely to waste.

Well since Melanie did I figured I'd show off my girls:

Thegirls.jpg

and they are

Row 1 - Petite (80 Warlock), Statuesque (80 Hunter), Rubenesque (55 Paladin)

Row 2 - Voluptuous (73 DK), Petitepriest (31 Priest), Pine (31 Druid)

Petite is my pride and joy toon since that was the toon I started with. She's been through race changes, faction changes. She gets all the cool mounts, all the cool pets, and all the cool "this item begins a quest". (working on Loremaster)

Statuesque is my #2 child. She has lots of cool stuff, being a Gnomish Engineer, and is my second pride and joy since she and I went from 1-80. :)

The Paladin I'm kinda half-heartedly levelling because her professions are maxed out until she hits 65.

Voluptuous is my new bank toon because I'm kinda bored playing a DK so she herbs and JCs and holds stuff.

Petitepriest (original name, eh?) is my new found love since I'm dungeon crawling with her strictly as a healer. :)

Pine is... I dunno. I'd love Balance more if she didn't always have mana issues! Once I'm /oom then I switch to cat form and do lousy dps.

Please note: I don't tank. It scares me. I've done some leveling as a healer on the pally and priest but for the most part I'm a dps girl. :)

(I don't like showing helms, either)

Tanking is wicked. I fell into it by mistake boosting my partner and guildies. I now tank ICC when required, and things in there hit very hard.

Ive got Cata Beta, and DKs are awesome in it, Unholy / Frost is in it's last days, unfortunately; all the good stuff is now in higher tiers. Long live Unholy / Blood! (God, it's like going bank to a levelling DK with a reaping build...)

I really have not played WOW for awhile since school started back up for me, honestly I do not know how much I will even play when the expansion comes out. Here are some pics of my two main characters though (first one was my main when I first started to play, the second is my Shaman which is now my main, both are healers (instant Queue's and more fun to play imo! :P )

I started my first main (Night Elf Warrior) as a tank (even level'd that character a tank, ugh!) and yes you do get asked a lot into instance and raids but it does get very tedious after awhile. If anything goes wrong in a raid the blame is usually pointed at the tank or healing, my main is a Healer now but I'd rather do healing any day compared to Tanking.

Yes, tanks usually get the blame, even when it's the DPS going off on a limb and causing a massive pull. Plus most baby DKs love using Death Grip on everything, not quiet realising that while shiney Ebon Hold armour is quiet nice; being hit by an elite 3 levels above you usually kills the fun.

Cata special edition preordered, oh yes.

This week we're doing an ICC 25 Heroic Run for The Light of Dawn title. For snitchzels and all that.

My guild is taking a break right now from normal Raids so I have not been in a Guild raid for awhile, PUG's for ICC 25 are just horrible for the most part, the only Heroic we do is just the ship mostly. We tried others but most people are just either not geared enough or has and clue what-so-ever on what to do. Plus after one or two wipes people leave and don't want to try. So really I gave up on doing anything anymore for raiding and I just will wait for the expansion to come out which looks like Dec 7'th.

Cata is confirmed for 7/7/12. I'm out of holiday time this year so might have to stockup on the energy drinks that week.

I do hate the fact that people want to progress, then can't be bothered to put the effort in; or they quit at 4/12 without saying a word. You wipe, you deal with it, gold isn't that hard to make.

However, Doing Festergut/ Rotface with a 25 PUG last week was a complete epic fail. Most people were doing 3-4K DPS (uh oh). You can imagine my lack of surprise when DBM came up with "30 seconds until enrage".

If any of you decided to stop playing WoW until the next expansion (12/07/10) I really really recommend you log in and download the latest patch. It's a huge patch and every class got tinkered with. Talent trees were redone. Certain attributes (like spell power) were eliminated. Umm, there were *A LOT* of changes that took place this past Tuesday. Caster DPS got a huge buff. Melee got a huge nerf. People are crying left and right about how Blizzard ruined Ret pallies and tanking and DK tanking spec is now blood instead of frost and rogues got the shaft because of the change to poisons and...

Yeah, I think if you plan to continue playing WoW but temporarily stepped away, I suggest you step back and get your characters situated and in order so there are no surprises when you log in again.

p.s. there's a bug that allows druids to fly in the old world.

Did a guild run HC dungeon run with me tanking and failed 5 times before completing it. I had forgotten to set up my new glyphs, now they're sorted, I'm in utter love with tanking as a DK. It's a breeze. DK DPS seems to be better now, we had a Frost DK in blues out damaging our GMs fully Sanctified Geared Hunter. Warriors have gone down the pan, bit of a shame really.

I had the debate about Ret Pallys last night as lots of guild members are up in arms about being "shafted" and have reported a massive loss of DPS (finding it hard to break even 2K DPS). To prove them wrong, I respecc'd my partners Pally, set up the bars and did a few "stress test" HCs to see if they have actually been "nerfed".

Result?

Not at all "shafted". Pulling a min of 5k single target is simple. The Pallys aren't speaking to me yet, they need more time to play it, rather than complaining about changes they've yet to adapt to. Ret Pallys are awesome, and mages have become super - frost and fire seem to be jumping all over arcane. (Fire will be raid spec in 4.0.3+)

Seriously guys, 4.0.1 is the best thing to happen to WoW for aeons. ICC excluded of course.

That's all fine and dandy but I'm getting one-shot by rogues. :(

I hear mages and warlocks are getting nerfed because Blizzard screwed some things up. I'm hoping rogues are included or that's all that is going to be in the battlegrounds. Hopefully hunters will get a little love.

The low level exp has been turned up, I guess. My balance druid was 31 yesterday. She's now 39. :)

I'm not really sure what's wrong with Ret paladins. My dps at 72 is about the same as it was. Survivability is the same while I was out questing. I like the new auras that trigger certain spells to light up and do extra damage.

I also had enough honor points after the conversion to buy 3 pieces of Wrathful gladiator gear for my hunter. Now I have the full set. Doesn't help at all but at least I look good!

Usually Festergut or Rotface is where most PUG's break up after one or two wipes, Festergut is a VERY highly dependent on DPS and Heals, it really is a DPS race (and 3-4k DPS simply just wont do it). Healers though have to be up on their game as well, also people either don't know or pay attention to the Spores. RotFace is on the other hand not a DPS race but people just do not know how to do this Boss fight which causes wipes and frustration, hence people leave. I only been up to Lich King once with a few tries but really I don't see getting the title before the expansion comes out. I am still getting used to the changes on both my Paladin and Shaman which so far have been interesting so I can only assume that it will be more so after the expansion.

Too true, I've paid many a repair bill for people not pulling baby oozlings out to the OT. Going ne worse, people breaking up on Lady D as they didn't know what they were doing, and seeing a DK stand in what is essentially DnD is hilarious. On LK fights, people just love to stand in Defile or Shadowtraps and wonder why they die. While I have the KS title, The Light of Dawn is STILL eluding me. Round two this weekend, I have ample energy drinks and my character has a massive batch of flasks.

It will be mine before Cata. Please?

Gee, I've only seen the Blood Wing once and the Frost Wing once. Had a shot at the LK due to a guild run needing a few more so I learned the mechanics of that one. My current guild can't seem to get past Putricide. I'm thinking of leaving for a better guild, actually.

On my warlock, most of the gear I have equipped was acquired from being in another guild on another realm. I transferred to an EST realm and really haven't done much as far as progression goes. They're not that talkative, either. :(

My guild is a social / levelling guild and we started raiding ICC for a joke. I'm now "pugging" with a group of people who I've ran the place many times with, so it's become an out of guild raid team, of sorts; as our one has gone down the pan - GMs had a baby, T-Heal has met a girl, 1xDPS and his partner R-Heal AWOL. The current crop we have coming up in the guild aren't going to cut it at the moment, all we ask is go to Tankspot; watch the first 4 and we'll take it from there step by step. We did an alt run for the ICC 10 Virgins and couldn't get past Marrowgar due to people standing in flames, being hit by cleave (We can't carry 5 people and please dont stand next to me if I'm tanking, Marrowgar will one shot you) and so on. We are going to try another alt run next week and fingers crossed people listen this time, like we all had to do at one point.

PP can be a bit of a pain to be fair, most people seem not to take the adds down fast enough. I'm not a hardcore raider by any means, but I am really digging it and my guilds general lack of direction and apathy with the approaching Cataclysm makes me think it might be time to move on soon. I'd probably misses the banter as there are some good people there, plus my partner is in it and might shave my hair off if I do leave. Argh, Baldy Knight.

I sound like I dont have a life!

I am SSSOOO done with Pugging ICC, last Saturday I was in a 25Man PUG and actually at first it was going really well, and we made it past the first Wing with no issues. However, a few people left and we had to get one new tank and healer. So we were waiting and about 10-15 minutes into our wait, the raid leader said he had to go and said Thanks for coming?!?!?!?! after that people just started to leave in groves. So really I was saved to an instance with just one wing down? ugh frustrating...I really hate doing ICC now since most PUG's are getting more and more like this, at least for me it is.

Yeah 4.0.1 is loads of fun, as a level 48 assassination rogue I got a 5 point Eviserate crit on a allaince priest in Ab for over 3k. Well the priest only had 2400 health so you can guess what happened ;) Horde ftw.

Hmmmm warcraft eh, used to be totally addicted having played almost from day one right up to nearly a year ago.

My main was a blood elf female priest, holy spec, yup i was the one at the back healing folx while they had fun, getting moaned at when they died.

Remember so many times people who had never healed before saying "where was the healing" and thinking to myself "do you want to try it sometime matey".

Also had lvl 70 rogue, 70 warlock, 70 Death knight, 70 mage, 70 paladin, i did say i was addicted :P

The flexiblity with the new raid lock system seems to be working quite nicely.

But I'll give you a laugh:

Sindy 25man HC.

100K left.

Wipe.

I actually laughed at my laptop. (Not quite as much my partner when the LK one shotted me in DPS for 80K..)

LK 25man HC? Some moron stood in Defile. Several times. GYAHGYAHGYAHGYAH.

Roll on Cata!

      That was just one reference that came up.  I originally saw it somewhere else.  Technically, he did call for the eradication of "transgenderism".  But it would be hard to get rid of that (whatever it is) with us still here.     Yeah, later, when he got called out on it.   I don't really see how you can say this.  Sure he doesn't know what he's talking about, but the damage is real.   I will bend over backwards to give someone the benefit of the doubt.  But at some point…. I'm just not as limber any more.   They can say what they want, but actions speak louder than words, and when I see what is happening in red states it is obvious.  They do want to get rid of us.  I'm tired of pretending they don't.

      Thank for the birthday wishes, everyone!!!   It started great...and then I was rear-ended at a highway construction site this morning. I'm OK. The woman who hit me was shaken - was going fast enough to deploy her air bags. I was at dead stop. Her car had to be towed away. My truck too a hit to the tailgate and the bumper. It seems OK otherwise but I'll know tomorrow when they do the appraisal.   UGH!   Happy Birthday to Me!! :-)

      "How did it go yesterday? Any trouble in Millville?" He shook his head. "Your biscuits and gravy are great." "Mama's recipe. She taught this girl to COOK." "Uh-huh.  Well, it rained the whole time.  We did the ground breaking in pouring rain.  Your friend, the former head of manufacturing, is now on the Board.  It looks like sunshine down there, he told me, with the missile plant starting up and they re-hired all the people they fired.  Millville Products is as it was.  And the Chinese money is still coming.  That was just an ugly rumor.  Gibson quit, but you knew that." "Missile plant, huh.  Yeah.  Gibson and I may go into business.  But I have been thinking-" "Yeah.  It's been declassified.  I can tell you they made missiles for Navy ships and planes during World War 2. It was shut down after Vietnam.  Several other supporting companies are moving in - paint, electronics assembly, a few others - that support missile production." "Okay."

      https://www.digitaltransgenderarchive.net/col/cj82k733h   I am now dissatisfied with the thread title because it seems to exclude Catholics and maybe others .  I am not sure what to change it to, so I will fuss over THAT now.

      I'm on the ballot being mailed tomorrow for an open US Rep seat.  I have both an honorable discharge and an other than honorable discharge.  I told the Navy that I was smoking pot every day right after Y2K.  I told them that while I was in the Navy, I substituted alcohol for marijuana and that the alcohol was making me violently sick.  After 5+ years of that, I said enough is enough and I went back to smoking pot.  I got better and I felt like the quality of my work was improving.   I certainly wasn't the perfect military member, but I excelled at my job and earned a promotion in boot camp.  They drug tested our unit several times after I told them I was smoking pot and I may have never tested positive.  I was opening smoking pot in the Navy for 3 or 4 months before they decided to kick me out.  At my captain's mast, the captain tried to shame me by saying I looked bad in uniform and that I was a disgrace, but all my evaluations said that I looked great in uniform.  I took great pride in looking good in my dress blues and whites.  Sure, I had grown my hair out a little bit (you know, it's not like I became trans in my 50's all the sudden) and I was enjoying some green anodized eye glasses :)   I think that people get very emotional about these kinds of issues when they should be concentrating more on engineering things and work performance.  I think we should take the lead and talk about our professional lives more instead of focusing on this type of politics.  That's a great document and I saved the PDF to my hard drive.  I think we should have more respect for the production that China is doing instead of concentrating on raising a military defense against them.  I personally disliked the hazing rituals in the Navy and think our military would be better off with being more accepting and intelligent.

      My snarky comment of the morning is that Trump may be the first president sworn into office from a jail cell.  He can't keep his mouth under control.  It's likely he may be serving time for contempt for violating gag orders in January if he keeps it up, and the judges are more than happy to slap fines and imprisonment on him.

      For one thing, this is Rolling Stone, who is convinced that the right is evil and writes articles from that perspective.   For another, he did not call out for eradication.  His answer was lousy, I did not like it, it was ambiguous, but he denied being for eradication of transgender people.   I still don't know what transgenderism is, but I see it as distinct from transgender people.   Conservative TG people need to become politically active and actively dialog and engage with these people..  Dang it.
    • Vidanjali
      Here's some inspiration. Wheels within wheels.   
    • Lydia_R
      Yes, totally.  That's a great story about your math history @Vidanjali!  Wow!   People tend to forget or are not aware of grads instead of degrees and radians, but that is becoming a big deal to me in the idea of coding a trigonometric function.  If you set your calculator to grads and then do the sin of 33.33, it comes up with .4999, you know, pi/6.  The significance here is that by dividing pi/2 (radians) into 100 units (grads) instead of 90 units (degrees), you are now in a base 10 space.  And when we are dealing with decimals (in base 10), and trying to convert them back to ratios, then notating our angles in the base 10 system of gradients seems like it is the key to coding the trigonometric function.   Then again, this has all kind of been a revelation to me the last couple days.  It's fun to combine math with code and I'm looking forward to writing some algorithms around this.  My last job was coding software for a healthcare company and there was no math involved in that and that was a depressing part of that job.  The long hours of that job kind of created a spiritual backlog of wanting to do some math work and I think that energy is busting out right now.

      Went out to get the mail.  I was thinking that I only have dysphoria when I am dressed like a guy as I walked out there, looselimbed and feeling femme.   Get with the program, girl, says I. I am supposed to be dysphoric when I am wearing women's clothing, not the other way around.  In the past I have worn women's clothing like this and after a while said I guess I really don't have GD, switched to male clothing until I gave it up, miserable, and went back.   Dreaming of a nice skirt-suit set.  Looked at them on Amazon.  And a peasant skirt with a nice lacy top.  And a denim skirt, worn with tights, boots and a turtleneck.  A girl can dream.
