400 Achieved!

Ahh what's this blog without the occasional loot raging?

So one of my goals was to hit a PVE ilvl of 400 or higher before the end of this expansion, and today and last week's bounty had hit the spot!

Despite still having a 378 offhand, the Vagaries of Time that everyone seems to have is my druid's new toy, a significant spellpower upgrade from my 397 Visage. However, maces suck. Transmogs for maces lack in beautifulness. Anyways.

Hagara proved to be a Bountiful Bitch, as she dropped both the pretty heroic T13 red shoulders (love those red stones), and a Girdle of the Grotesque.

Ultimately I gained about 400 spellpower and 1% mastery. Also I got lucky on Spine (working on heroic now) and got lucky with the passive 880 spirit trinket which allowed me to transmog out around 900 spirit into pure throughput via mastery. (I found 3,200 spirit was plenty comfortable).

I know everyone and their rainbow shitting cats are have been 8/8 HM for half a year now, but I'm just glad we manged to get 6/8 (as of 06/25/2012) to be doing something "current" while it is still "current". Sort of.

I need a red-offhand!

Destroying Ends and Stuff

Wow it's been a while since my last post. It's been a busy month with exams and job transitions abound.

Wow Updates!

Hmm, my druid is now 5/8 HM and almost breaking the 400 ilvl barrier. This is great, because I do not intend to quest on my druid come MOP, he can start healing fresh off the boat to Pandaland. I would have to say that despite being drop-dead-boring on regular mode, heroic mode encounters actually keep me on my feet, and awake, and looking at my screen....sometimes.

I now have four toons with the oh so special "Destroyer's End" title. In order of acquisition: my hunter, druid, ....wait for it ..... rogue......and then...warrior!

Yeah! I haven't touched my warlock for several months and her progression goes as far as 5/8 regular mode DS. I could just use her for one run to get her street cred upped, but screw that shit. Having previewed the feel of warlock in MOP, continuing to play in our current state is just a waste of time.

What has this world come to? Where my MELEE toons are more fun, and have progressed more than my once main character? My arms warrior has a really good feel to him, his attacks feel hefty and smashy. On the other hand, my assassination rogue is quite fun, despite juggling dot uptime, slice n dice uptime, and also maximizing my envenoms, it feels very "right", unlike a warlock. (Though if combat and sub had a specialized dot, then all hell would break loose cause everyone would want to use it).

But yeah, I have lost track of what I was talking about again so goodbye.
