Now that I've finished Pride of Kul Tiras, I can say that I really hate Kathrine Proudmoore.


I have had zero luck getting a group together for Tol Dagor for some reason.

I used LFD. Took awhile, but I got it done.

Back to shampooing the carpets.
That sounds taxing.

I am starting to think that the next thread should be something about "Facing backwards from target. Send help!"

Not really, I was doing world quests at the time. I want a Dark Iron Warrior soon. I might do a paladin on Twisting Nether or ED.

I have named a good chunk, if not most of the HCTs in one way or the other. That one sounds good.
Just resubbed. Trying out the expansion. Figured I'd drop in and say hello to everyone!

Hi Lazy.

Anyone else notice that some of the new WoW commercials have Metalica's For Whom the Bell Tolls as it's soundtrack?

Hey there Whim!

I have not, I actually haven't seen the commercials.

They're up on YouTube as adds for me. I usually get them on my phone while driving.
I think that I need to use the ignore feature on the forums more. It's actually now more used than I ever have in game.

Who's bothering you?

Admittedly, I've only used the ignore feature on the forums like, once or twice?

In game is about the same. Think I'm lucky.

Nobody really. So far, it's mostly Bepples, this Yankee druid nobody likes, wispers, and a few random trolls.
Took 20 hours to get this far.

Frostbolt/Ice Lance, Frostbolt/Ice Lance, Frostbolt/Ice Lance, Flurry proc, Frostbolt/Ice Lance, Frostbolt/Ice Lance, Frostbolt/Ice Lance.

For 18 of those 20 so far.

Basically done. Not engaging game play by any means. Definitely not worth rewarding them with $60 to skip to BfA or just max level for sure.

I prefer Fire and Arcane to Frost personally. That said, you are farther than I am on your Mage. I'm at 29 since I want to his a BG or two before 30.
Arcane has always been thematically boring for me.

Fire is: hard cast 4.4 sec Pyro, Fire Blast, instant Pyro proc and then Fireballs until the mob is dead (if it isn't already). Or just stand there and let melee kill themselves on Flame Armor.

TLDR both ways is brutally slow with no variation at all despite new talents/abilities.

Dynamic gameplay gated behind 119 levels plus specific stat gear.

Or to put it differently: 10-20 second combat "rotations" are not fun looking at ~60 hours and 10,000 mob kills single target only. Particularly when these boil down to rarely varying 2 button spam for 10's of hours.

Want to flip that around? Level 15 BM = Right Click mob, click Kill Command then let all passive damage sources delete the target 2 to 3 times as fast while you watch Netflix lol.

I could see that. It's that bad for me, but I can see that.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.

On the other hand, if you don't watch out they will eat or drink themselves to death!
It does get tiring to see people inflate certain abilities just to favor one spec or the other.

I'm also ready to start getting used to 15 mile days again. I only took nine days off!
Man... the hate LW gets makes my skin crawl. I don't want to play a mage. I wanna be a Rifleman. Hell, once they make a better blue hood (the WoD one is VERY lackluster for xmog), I'll have the perfect getup.

I'm so close to ignoring the Nelf that shant be named in case they search themselves and inflate their pompous ego.

I mean, I don't mind too much using a pet when soloing (hell master's call in Warmode is a must), but is it too much to ask for a bit of utility? Also MM pets are hella squishy. I keep a constant mend pet tick rolling and regardless of spec, if there's 3+ mobs they just keel over.

Edit: Just realized I had forgotten to xmog my pants before bed and now I'll look like a goober until I can get home and fix that.
If you mean Wyspers, then yeah I've already put him on ignore. He didn't like me calling Aspect of the Eagle a gimmick and ended up with telling me to post on my main because he couldn't come up with anything beyond his personal playstyle.

As for LW I hate personally, but I don't want my personal choice to make you or other use yours if you don't want to. It needs to be a choice, damage vs. utility and the choice should be close enough that it doesn't matter. I mean, I have no problem doing with out one in dungeons or raids from time to time, but not kicked for having or not having a pet. If I wanted to go without a pet I'd play my Rogue or level my Warrior.
