My story ..so you can see why I love games

Blizzhax — Wed, 09/03/2008 - 19:18

Ok.  First.

Yes, I am in a wheelchair... (Broken neck at C4,5,6) and yes I bring it up a lot.  (mostly jokes and such.. if you can't laugh.. you're dead)

..and scene

1996 - I am about to turn 16 this year and finally passed my drivers test after taking classes and writing 70 pages of notes (crazy huh, but at least it was still free.. now kids pay like $150+)

July 13th - I just turned 16, and I was almost set to do whatever the hell I wanted, whenever the hell I wanted.  (I was so responsible that I washed my permit along with my blue jeans.. that put a halt on the plans as I was suppose to go get a new one)

July 26th - My friends want me to go hang out with them (most likely loitering at the local mall), but instead I decline and decide to hang out with my cousin (Chris - who susbsequently is now a douche bag, and stole shit from me when I was in the hospital because he thought I was dead).

Anyway, I decided to spend the day with my cousin because the plan was to go to Grand Haven (beach) and try to see if I could pick up a lady (joking.. but it would have been cool).

So he drives over to my house, my mom causes a ruckus about me leaving (something about me being grounded etc) but I left anyway (great idea.. I know =/ )  I hop in his broken down rusted out shit box and we are on our way.. (I had to ride in the backseat because his girlfriend was in the front.. balls).  I basically just chilled in the back seat waiting to get to the beach, but he told me that we had to stop and pickup a friend of his girlfriends (I'm assuming they were trying to set me up).

A warrior's pain

Gares of War — Wed, 09/03/2008 - 12:43

         So, I have been waiting for all of these "grand" changes to the warrior talent tress.  So far I have only been impressed with Fury, I find arms to be a lawl tree and, while I am sure they mean well, have done little to fix its many problems.  Protection was on a good road, but then they felt threatened by removal of the Blessing of Salvation (by their own whims) they are too busy trying increase damage and threat, thatour rage mechanic will suffer the SAME ridiculous problems it faced in the first expansion.

         This is just a rant, I may try to fix it up and place it in a less trolled aspect of the forums.

ARMS

It was originally a pvp tree with some 2 hander emphasis.  I fear Blizzard has no idea what they want to have in this tree.  I still think rend is useless and nany attempt to give us a useful bleed buff effect in tier one has been rejected I believe 5 times.

For what the second tier is worth, I feel it is alright, I find it odd that it lacks any form of dps buff and it is for grinding and tanking.

 Tier 3 is fine.  I still think overpower and rend synergy needs work. 

One of the most sorry switches was the removal of stalwart defender (Rage gained from parry and blocks) and the addition in the arms try of Justified killing.  Come now, how many times do you parry in arenas or pvp, furthermore, in a PVE setting, you will be killed if you tank (unless you are Gares).  I find a tanking rage buff in arms to be ridiculous.

Tier 5 is fine.  Mace with armor reduction defeated its use in pvp.  I find that to be counter intuitive, but the change may be useful for the pvp gear wearers you fight.

Switching Toons for Wrath

Atar — Wed, 09/03/2008 - 08:21

Since I've been back at work these past two weeks I've done an insane amount of research on all the classes and specs that will be introduced in WotLK.   All these changes are going to take a lot of getting used too, but I really think everyone in DF is capable of grasping the new class mechanics swiftly.

As of right now I'm not sure if I want raid as a Feral Druid anymore for Wrath.  I'm not 100% on that conclusion, but I'm really thinking about.  I've really focused on the Priest and Shaman talents as of late.  All three trees look amazing to me for both classes. 

Point blank...I love to heal.  I think healing takes a huge passion and it takes a lot of skill to be an amazing healer.  I'm still doing research on both Priests and Shaman at the moment to see the how well they'll perform in WotLK.

Also, I've really really been looking into Shadow Priests.  One of the things that draws me to them for Wrath is that there aren't a HUGE amounts of changes as far as play style and I like that.  I've always thought playing a shadow priest, although low on the dps meters, was extremely fun.  The constant casting of DIFFERENT spells and you're not spamming just one or two buttons.  I've been leveling a second priest on my spare time lately to go shadow for WotLK.  I'm not sure if it'll be my main or not.  We'll see when that day comes.

 

BTW...this was my first blog EVER

Horde alts on Thrall

Adwarflol — Tue, 09/02/2008 - 15:15

Me and the other A's are rolling Horde alts on Thrall, it's because I found out my IRL friend plays there. If anyone is interested in rolling a horde alt just say so, we'll probably not get past lvl 30ish honestly <_<. I have a BE mage Socialcrab, I'll post the other char names a bit later.
