You Stupid Quest

Yeah I'm talking about YOU, you stupid quest!

1. A Worthy Weapon. Ok first of all why am I getting the same three blades everyday? Can't you just call the keeper of the blade and KEEP IT WITH YOU? And also, screw that I am not flying to ANOTHER ZONE and FLY BACK because a) I am too lazy to manually fly there and navigate and fly back, but if I want to afk and do it.. b) I am too cheap to pay the flight master TWICE to get your stupid sword. Stupid argent tournament.

2. All Things in Good Time. If you pop into Ahn'kahet Old Kingdom and someone shares this quest. How do we turn the quest in? When you're done you pop back out to the place you started which is definitely NOT in Dragonblight. Do I want to fly ALL the way to Dragonblight just to turn in a quest for a stupid 23 gold? No! The only character who *MIGHT* do this is Truny because her stupid tailoring weave cooldowns all require you to fly ALL THE EFFING way to Dragonblight, in three effing locations to make three pieces of stupid cloth. Though the instance entrance is so far away I usually hearth back after I finish my last piece of cloth. And if reading the patch notes are correct, soon we won't even have to MOVE or go anywhere to make these cloth cooldowns, prices for sure will come down once Frozo the Renowned moves in as well. Yeah I'm talking about YOU crafted ilvl264 welfare items!

3. Any quest that involves gathering random ingredients or items. Ok, eff you I am too busy questing to gather materials for you, stupid NPC get it yourself! Maybe for 120 Emblems of Frost we can hire an Unbound Scourge Slave to do quests for us while we do other quests, they would quest in real time, but save all this annoyance.

4. Any quest that involves killing a certain number of monsters. The mobs respawn, it is hopeless this endless duelling, let us succumb to our defeat. Besides, I'm too busy questing to go and commit MURDER for you! The exception to this are killing Vrykul giants, they are nummy.

5. Any quest that involves "go speak with NPC" at "some other location". Why? We all know THESE quests don't give a lot of gold and why don't you move your lazy ass and speak to them yourselves and have them CALL me when they are ready?

6. Any quest that involves using some item to do something to a static object via poking/probing/scraping/skinning/mining/scalping/scanning/shooting/spraying/doping/etc. If I were you I wouldn't trust me to do this I have shaky flimsy weak caster arms and will probably just ruin everything.

7. Any quest that involves going into some vehicle and I have to shoot things down. Ok have you played Bayonetta? If we had to take down an army of Angels while driving 150MPH on a motorcycle on the interstate, then we'll discuss options. (Though that stage is too long)

8. Any quest that involves obtaining an item and combining it with another item via clicking on it because it says Use: Combine with blah. Ok first of all when I loot the item I am too lazy to check where it went into my bag and I am also too lazy to click on it again to combine it.

9. Any quest where completing them only involves speaking to the same NPC and clicking "Complete". What the hell that wasn't a quest!

Truny the Warlock's Loot Drama: Shriveled Heart

Remember two days ago when Truny ran Heroic Halls of Reflection and saw the Shriveled Heart drop? And remember how the healer and a dps pally rolled on it and the healer won and I was like "ok next time it is"?

Well, after an excellent run yesterday, our tank held aggro like a champion, we cleared the fourth wave of scary scourage in the Run Away event and I was thinking "ok this is it", and TADA!



(This is just from Wowarmory, I have "real" pics on my laptop)

It actually looks like a swirly frothing Orange Sorbet. I think the actual Shriveled Heart is stored inside this noise-maker.


With this last upgrade it puts my final unbuffed stats at:

Bonus Damage: 2525
Hit Rating: 347
Crit Chance: 28.3%
Haste Rating: 569


I will need to move my talents away from Improved Corruption into Supression to make up for Hit so I don't miss during the VoA Weekly Lottos (though the last run we did I didn't miss with JUST 16% ish hit)

I will also be trying for 760 raw haste (+240 from the Spellgem for 1000!!!!)

Truny the Warlock

ALTS ALTS ALTS: Which One Now?

Klupty the Death Knight: Level 80. Frost (DW DPS) and Frost (DW Tanking)

Quick Note: I know he's level 80 but he's very poorly geared for both of his specs, POORLY GEARED! I don't know, playing a DK is like watching what button lights up and hitting it if the button you pressed before was: Obliterate, or if there was a proc, or if you need free Blood Runes. WTF?

Gear Prospects: Real super slow. I have a feeling one of the toons listed below is going to hit 80 and outgear Klupty.

Runy the Rogue: Level 64. Subtlety and Combat specced.

Quick Note: I find the rogue a much more interesting melee class as a Death Knight, perhaps of my inclination towards the stealthy versus dumb. You have all your stunlocks available, you can vanish from battle and you can Run For Your Life really fast!

Levelling Prospects: I will occasionally log into Runy and run a maximum of TWO random dungeons, he will hit 80, though very very slowly. I do predict he will be the next one to hit 80.

Truby the Paladin: Level 47. Protection and Retribution specced.

Quick Note: Paladins are invincible and OP. Tanking, I don't die. Tanking is fun except when I feel like I am running out of MANA?? WTF MANA?? I do have that "if I get healed I get MP" mumbo jumbo but...MANA?? Retribution is awfully strong for its level too but again its a melee class and grouping at this level is hit and miss. Only if I need entertainment.

Levelling Prospects: Truby will most likely hit 80 after Runy does so unless something dramatic happens and I suddenly feel like going Holy.

Husbrus the Priest: Level 24. Shadow Specced.

Quick Note: Ok I almost want to go holy/disc to level and just heal my goddamn way to maybe level 70 and then pick up Shadow DPS again this is lame with no lifetap! I've always like using the "Fwong" holy word shield.

Levelling Prospects: Probably really slow unless I really want to just heal the hell through to 70.

Druny the Mage: Level 17 almost 18. Frost Specced.

Quick Note: Frostbolt is nice and quick and goes "plop" when it lands and Flamestrike is really fun to cast because I know how much it hurts!

Levelling Prospects: Will probably be taken priority over the prest since a mage has a lot of potential.

Shinjen the Shaman: Level 14 Shaman. Enhancement Specced.

Quick Note: Just so I can have my own bloodlust? Maybe make a healer? Try out chain-lightning and its chain-y-awesomeness? Oh noes that's all three trees!? Right now I am stuck somewhere in Durotar, everytime I log in I'll see my character and then get discouraged then log off.

Levelling Prospects: I don't know, unless I manage to log in for more than 15 seconds but a Shaman does look fun klunking things on the head with a mace.

Bruny the Warrior: Level 17 Warrior. Fury Specced.

Quick Note: Warriors sure level fast with heirloom gear, crusader enchanted swords and crazy dash and slash and stomp and smash and KABOOM!

Levelling Prospects: Bruny has been in some random dungeons and ended up tanking most of them and I probably won't mind Warrior Tanking since my Main Healer practically grew up with a warrior tank, didn't heal any other type of tank until the end of burning crusade. For sure after the Rogue, maybe after the Shaman and at the same time as the Mage?

What If: You Were Your Own 5-man Dungeon Group?

For simplicity's sake let's restrict this to level 80 heroics. If one of your toons' has dual-spec, then they can count as TWO separate characters.

Here is my most likely 5-man composition:

Tank: Turny the Bear
Healer: Turny the Restless Tree
DPS: Truny the Warlock
DPS: Turby the Hunter
DPS: Klupty the Jewelcraft Slave Death Knight

It is quite obvious that in this group, the Death Knight is getting carried by the rest of the party members. He can barely break 3k dps, has no hit rating, and is still wearing some gnarly quest blues.

This would be the ultimate AoE team. Mangle and Swipe. Wild Growth. Seed of Corruption and Rain of Fire, Volley and Multi-shot. Howling Blasts. Heck, the Warlock and Hunter can sustain such high DPS that I might just let the DK go onto auto-walk-follow and just tag along for emblems and drops.

I tend to have this thought in the back of my head because sometimes just SOMETIMES I think "damn if only that crappy dps was my own hunter then we'd be much quicker" or "why is that dumb healer standing still, if it was Turny..."

KTHXBAI

Why I Chose Feral Tanking

Because I don't have to fuckin' waste time gearing up to hit the fuckin' Defense Cap!

Bear tanks are automatically crit-immune. It's only a matter of getting your dodge and stamina higher than the sky and you're good to go!

Turny the Restless Tree
