Svala Sorrowgrave

OH NOES! This is the first boss in Utgarde Pinnacle. This is also the most ANNOYING boss in the ENTIRE game! Why? I think SOMEONE had one too many cigs when she was a young Vrykul Bitch.

So when you enter the room, you see her and the Lich King talk for about SEVEN HOURS, all raspy goodness!

What is the POINT of this boss?

SHE IS TRUNYS BITCH!

That is if Truny isn't the one caught in her ritual of swords. Why you ask?

If Truny isn't the one caught in her Ritual of Swords, I can usually KILL her before she even finishes her ritual!

It's revenge I tell you! The time where we outgear her SO much that FINALLY we can destroy her singlehandedly!

It's bittersweet, to have to endure her melodic vocals then to BURN her down before she effectively does ANY damage to the party!

What usually happens is that the party burns her down to about 250k or 220k HP and she'll cast her Ritual (which takes WAY too long), she's only a few % from Decimation Limit, a few shadowbolts, pop Metamorphosis and Soulfire her down! AH Satisfaction!

Toravon the Something Something Frost Seeker?

Ok so this boss is like easy and like what the heck drops such good like gear?

Special Announcement: The Weekly Loot Pinatas now feature more Pinata-ey goodness!

Ok so this is what Toravon Seems to do:

He's Ice Type. He's weak on Fire. I am Fire Type!

He summons Orbs which fly around like the Mage's Frozen Orb spell in Diablo 2, dodge those, and kill them.

He will cast a raid-wide ice damage thinger. Stay alive.

Loot Loot Loot!

I think these bosses should drop EIGHT pieces of gears seriously so easy might as well.

Luckily NO Warlock items dropped that time I went in (Truny's first time) but a nice PVP cape did drop but again, if at least ONE other person rolls there is no way I will EVER win a roll unless they disconnected or decided they don't need the item so of course I rolled anyways and of course:

Warlock #1: 45
Warlock #2: 78
Warlock #3: 98 <- Oh crap
Warlock #4: 55 Yeah we had five warlocks that one time.
Some Caster: 34
Some Caster: 11 <- Still too high
Truny: -2895 <- Fail
Some Caster: 25
Some Caster: 88

So yeah, good times. Toravon is easy peasy sauce with competent peoples, of course so is everything else HA!

Truny the Warlock Doing Lots of Posts to Catch Up

Truny's Ridiculous Demands - Third Rendition

Oh man here we go again:

Truny has declared that the following changes be made to the Demonology Tree for Warlocks:

1) When Molten Core procs off of Corruption's damage, we glow orange, a swell of intense flames. This is purely cosmetic.

2) When Decimation Procs, we undergo 25% of the Demon transformation. (And if Molten Core procs throughout this, the quater-demon will glow orange).

All these changes save for addons and looking somewhere else.

3) If a mob is affected by Corruption, and its HP falls under 35% HP, Decimation will proc. This would probably have to be built into the talent. Then again its fair since why would you NOT proc decimation EVER? It's not like "Oh its not fair they get free Decimation when a mob is under 35%", but any smart warlock would be gauging WHICH mob would approach 35% first, and duly blast them with Incinerate or Shadowbolt? This one is iffy, but demanded nonetheless.

Hey while we're at it might as well give us EVEN more procs to look out for.

4) Burning Heart: Whenever your Incinerate hits for a critical hit, it increases your fire damage by 15% for 10 seconds.

5) Raging Soul: Whenever your Soulfire hits for a critical hit, you will automatically cast a free Incinerate for 100% crit at no cost, causing no global cooldown. NUMMY!

6) Rains of Hell: Whenever your Soulfire lands a critical hit three consecutive times (not including Raging Soul Incinerates), your next Rain of Fire is instant cast. Meaning your next rain of fire does ALL its damage in ONE cast, meaning its an instant attack unchanneled. NUMMY!

7) Demonic Fervor (Requires Felguard): When your health is taken to or below 20% you have a 33/66/100% chance to temporarily merge with your Felguard for 15 seconds, increasing armor by 1200%, immune to movement impairing effects, immune to critical attacks. You gain some unique Felguard techniques. This would be funny because even if incidental damage takes you down to 20% you might want to use this to "fortify" yourself for subsequent damage, OR you can always cancel it and continue to attack. It'll be tricky and slightly annoying.

Ok that's enough ridiculousness for one day!

Aggrolicious Warlocks

Who knew that the Demonology spec could also draw aggro pretty fast with just one ability: Shadowbolt. (Let's not even mention Soulfire yet)

Here's a scenario:

Tank: "Ok let's do this!" They pull a group of mobs and I wait to attack the one they are targetting. Corruption, Immolate (If it's a High HP Mob), Shadow Bolt Spam until I see things proc left and right.

12k crit, nice. Threat 25%. 13k crit, nice. 55% threat "say what?", 11k crit, wow three in a row 85% threat, dots are ticking 90% threat *PAUSE*

There are two things I can do at this point.

1. Continue to attack because sometimes I am just too brain-dead or lazy to MOVE my mouse ALL the way over to my Soul Shatter button, or I am too lazy to stop pushing my buttons.

Result: 100% threat, mob is on me. Usually I am Decimating by now spamming Soulfire, it should be dead within 2 Soulfires. If it's a caster, I am good, if it's a melee type I can either: Soul Shatter NOW, or Go into Demonform and take some hits and use my Death Coil.

2. Soul Shatter. Only to regain threat on the next attack.

Result: 100% threat, mob is on me. Usually I am Decimating by now spamming Soulfire, it should be dead within 2 Soulfires. If it's a caster, I am good, if it's a melee type I can either: Soul Shatter is not an option so I go into Demonform and take some hits and use my Death Coil to self-heal.

Soulfire. I love this ability, it fires off a GIANT tumbling mass of brimstone surrounded by the Fires of Hell which goes "KAPOWBOOMKABOOM" when it lands on the mob every time it hits ..if you use your imagination!

You see, back in the Destruction days, the spell priority stayed the same and there weren't ANY procs or abilities to look out for, you'd just cast the SAME spells in the SAME manner from 100-0% regardless, if your threat went too high it was because of back to back crits or the tank got killed.

Now for Demonology, I only like to Metamorphasize during boss fights since....I am too lazy, trash die too fast, and I like to "save it" for role-play purposes to exaggerate the "now's the time mutha fu*kaaaaaaaas"...( T_T...)....and.......yeah...so..

Pulling aggro during THIS part of the fight is actually quite entertaining. I'd pop the Crit Trinket I found a while ago which increases crit by 900 then decays by 20% during Decimation and see those Soulfires have their fun. Sometimes I'm too lazy to pop the trinket since that button is too far away from my mouse to click.

If at this point of the battle everyone is thinking "Ok we got this, let's cool off a bit" the Demons are thinking "DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

Aggro: 40% -- 65% -- 100% -- BOSS SMASH. Now we play the Luck Game, who dies first? I teleport back and continue Soulfire Spamming while the boss is running towards me...sometimes I die, sometimes the boss dies, all in fun and games!

Death Knight Ass-Hattery

Take it as a social experiment or being completely random trying to mess with other people anonymously.

Say what? Yesterday, Klupty and DK friend embarked on a Death-Tard mission where we'd try to play as horribad as we could on our Death Knight while being equipped in all Spell Power gear or all cloth or all...everything with no strength.

I should have taken a screenshot of the two of them in their beautiful flowing Northrend Green Robes.

We queued as 2 DPS as that is the traditional role you would see Death Knights acting up. Ten minutes later our party is teleported into Heroic Nexus. Here is the party composition:

Tank: Pally, 5400 gear score 2.6k+ dps
Warlock: 5000+ gear score 3k+ dps
Shaman Heals: 3100+ gear score, mainly heroic blues and high level quest blues.
Klupty: 2000 Gearscore, all cloth and leather and mail, all spell power and spirit
DK Friend: 2000 Gearscore, all cloth and leather and mail, all spell power and spirit

We fell to incidental damage on the first Frozen Commander boss but our damage was actually VERY good considering all the cloth we had on, over 600-900 dps! If one were to judge correctly we weren't randomly pressing buttons (too randomly).

The tank and warlock left after the first boss was downed, without saying anything however. The healer remained behind for a bit and tried to give us some advice on the proper gearing required for heroics, which was a very nice gesture.

We requeued and the new party came in and we silently finished the instance. Oh so silently no one seemed to mind or notice that two death knights had on cloth or didn't want to be rude or were confused or...what? Did they know it was a dud? A coincidence two death knights from our server were just randomly crazy?

Perhaps! What did we want to see? Maybe someone freaking out and making a big commotion and then leaving. Nope, all silence. Not even a "why the fu*k are you guys in cloth gear?", or "Nice damage..". Is it that hard to get a group that can type nowadays?

So next time you see someone performing HORRIBLY or geared TOTALLY off, maybe...just maybe they're trying to mess with you!

On a side note to Mr 1,300 dps in Halls of Reflection, how did you get in?

Klupty the Ass Hat DK

Like a Moth to a Flame

I am on a mission. This involves (some heavy touching yeah -sorry Lady Gaga) getting Truny the Warlock to become my best geared character!

I did the quest to get the very nice Quel'delar Lens of the Mind sword for her this weekend, sporting at 657 spellpower this sword is just awesomeness upgrade from Seethe. Poor Seethe, I spent so much time bitching about it not dropping, abandon the game and come back and upgrade it away. Sigh oh well, I've never actually SEEN the Sunwell so standing in the middle of it was kinda cool!

So before setting foot into Ice Crown Citadel Truny would like to be fairly upgraded in most of her equipment slots. I know it isn't necessary but I just like to be "appropriate" by Kluptomania standards.

Her Offhand Item is the Heroic Emblem Ward of the Violet Citadel. Since Shrivelled Heart is so accessible Truny has been running H HoR every day for a chance to get it, and also her belt and shoes are T8 equivalent, that's a no no gotta get it up to T9 at least.

ANYWAYS, yesterday in Halls of Reflection during one of the spirit waves I was dutifully corrupting and shadowbolting and decimating to my (shrivelled) heart's content when I guess what happened was every single positive buff and proc were active and one of my Soulfire's landed a 31.8k Crit!

I didn't have time to screenshot it since it just popped out of nowhere, and seeing 20k+ crits were so happenstance anyways I didn't have the same "OMG" reaction to these huge numbers anymore. I still remember when 4k was a BIG deal! (It still is!)

That's Crazy Sauce! I am thinking it must have been one of the mobs which I accidentally put Curse of Elements onto when I was about to hit my Soulfire button (they are beside each other in 5 man dungeons) and Molten Core, Lightweave Embroidery, Now is the Time, all procced and crit at the max possible amount?

I shall try to reproduce this again since Truny is in the limelight of playtime until all her upgrades are achieved RAWR.

Truny the WHOA

Truny the Warlock Returns - Demonology

Truny has returned after an almost two month break!

From what I remember, the new changes to Demonologist Warlocks had already taken place but Truny didn't really check them out.

It's good!

A) Truny gets to use her favourite pet, the Felguard. Blagroon, the one who could dash cleave and save the squishy butts of the party!

B) Requirements for more awareness! MORE awareness! See, first we have to debuff things with our Improved Shadowbolt. Then we must make sure Corruption is always ticking since we are going to be fishing for Molten Core procs. What are those? Well Molten Core increases the damage and crit/speed for Incinerates or Soulfires. (Some may want to fire off Shadowbolts and only use Incinerate when Molten Core procs but I would rather see Incinerate).

C) Decimation. Remember when we had to go Shadow Bolt, Soulfire, Shadowbolt Soulfire. NOT ANYMORE! Now we can go Soulfire Soulfire Soulfire Soulfire and it looks something like this when you get a critting streak and various gear procs:

21,546 18,233 24,621! 9.264 (darn) 20,513 ...eep!

Remember to jump into Demon form and activate any trinkets when you see the first Decimation Proc, it's the magical buff that starts with a 9 second count. Also, remember to refresh Corruption to fish for Molten Core buffs to the Soulfires, and also to throw in a Shadowbolt to get the 5% extra crit!

This new system has a nice "Ok fuckers let's do this!" feel once you see Decimation it's all over!

Truny KABOOM!
