You know how after you've gotten all your gear, having ran X dungeon so many times, you never feel the urge to go back..ever? It's kind of like the end-game rut, but not end game? Yeah, think TOC 5 woman *shudder*
Remember when Truny was running Heroic Halls of Reflection like it was going out of style all for Shriveled Heart? Oh the amount of search engine results this blog got for that one item, well HA here's another entry for it LMAO!
I just remembered that Turny also picked up Midnight Sun yesterday and what other offhand is better for it than the easily (UH HUH) obtainable Shriveled Heart?? Yes I get to heal for a purpose again! I purchased the ilvl200 Handbook of Obscure Remedies to fill in for it, since the dagger itself is 120 spellpower stronger than Perdition, but without many other stats, but that's okay!

Brewfest! and Updates..
It's a sad week, I realized Truny missed the Pirate Day thing, hence she won't have the achievement for the violet thing next year. However, I did do the annoying little brewfest events and got her the Brewmaster title. I'm still running the daily Coren Direbrew Keg Lotto everyday on all the four characters that are 80, usually this takes 20 minutes total.
Log in. Queue, kill. Leave group log out and switch.
So far I have got two of those Tankard of Thingers, maybe I will save them for Shinjen my shaman, if she ever goes enhance and needed tankards? Who knows, they are only worth 80G on the auction house now.
What else has been new lately? Nothing. I've been randomly playing my other toons on and off, hrmmm, this is what happened over the span of about...2 hours.
Truby the paladin went from 48 to 50.
Paladins are the crazy shit and are so OP right now. Yeah I'm talking about retribution. Even though it is faster, like insta-queue faster to get into a dungeon as a tank I am still queuing as RETLOL just cause it's so OMFGDIE!
But the cooldowns are really weird, and if one mob dies and everything is on cooldown, and when I switch to another mob I have to right click to begin attacking which is SUPER annoying so I put the auto-attack button back on my bar, along with divine wrath vengeance holy hand of righteous hammer whatever the hell all these abilities are.
I think I could have prevented a group wipe if I could fuggin' tell the effen difference between all the freakin different shields paladins have, oh wait do I have divine shield, or wait is that power word shield oh no wait wrong class, oh shit why does cleanse have the same icon as renew, oh crap where's the ability called "PALLY BUBBLE" what the hell is the REAL name for that anyways? What's with all the text after all these abilities like I can't use it within 30 seconds of some holy avenging something and not during some other righteous something or other wtf wtf?? I just wanted to use that thing you know that some people have cast on me before where I went completely immune to everything for 3 minutes and the paladin suicided do I even have that yet? Can I cast that thing bound to my '9' key on other people?
Why was I even trying to be helpful I should just stick to: Consecrate, hammer thing that when you hit you get hp back, crusader strike, use exorcism if that yellow icon has procced, which I *think* is the exact same icon as prayer of mending, then use the thing that procs when the mob is at 20% or below I think its' called Hammer of DIE NOW! I watch that like a hawk, like kill shot! And of course that shield looking ability that taunts and does damage when stuff is at low health. But who cares if you taunted paladins don't die!
And buffing other people. Fuck off! Go buff yourself, we're not doing heroic icc we don't really NEED to. Everything can get kings cause its the only one I recognize and its bound to my '8' key. I give myself the hand one.
Ok what else, oh yes then I make sure my Seal of Red One is on, and not all the other seals which are scattered all around my keybinds. The red one procs all sorts of crazy damage.
Druny the Mage is 25, from 24...
Playing at 25 means you will go out of goddamn mana every single fuckin' pull. I respecced to fire, because almost NO ONE is fire nowadays except for this one amazing mage I saw while on my paladin who pulled 530 dps at level 50 by using all these aoes, he seriously had like 10 aoes going on!
But at 25, I should have reset my expectations.
Flamestrike, Blizzard, OOM. Shit. And stuff is still alive! Do I still use frostbolt if fire specced? I spent an entire rfk just trying to see what the optimal rotation was. Yes at 25 and already worrying about this stuff. It wasn't fun.
Do I use scorch? It's "Improved", but its so weak! Or do I use fireball? which takes like 2 minutes to cast? Pyroblast? That takes 20 minutes to cast, and isn't THAT much stronger?
Druny can stay at 25 for a bit longer.
Shinjen the Shaman went from 18-23
I have always thought the idea of a shaman was excellent, great, delicious. What spell is more awesomer than chain lightning?
I actually bought the wrong BOA stuff for her. I got her the SP Leather, and then later I realized OH SHIT Shamans wear mail, oh well she used to wear the cloth set so yeah ok bye.
Healing as a shaman pre level 20 is a joke. Why? Because the only spell you get is HEALING WAVE. Yes the big heal. Why do we start with the big heals?
Good thing one shadowfang keep run got Shinjen to 20. The pulls were like this:
Tank gets mobs, I'd have to start casting BEFORE he pulls or else the 52 second cast time of Healing Wave won't make it and he'll die. Luckily it refillls half his HP.
Once she hit 20 and got LESSER Healing Wave things started to be more "normal", and less mana intensive. Along with healing stream totem.
Oh yeah, totems. What the hell? Why are there SO many earth totems? Stoneskin, stoneclaw, strength of earth, strength of skin, grounding, tremor, Earthbind, earthskin, say what?
I was pretending to be an optimal shaman and wanted to use the optimal totem on each pull, but our party DIED because by the time I read and understood the functionability of each and every ground totem everyone had already died and the mobs were running to me!
After that I just clicked on whatever totem I used last, one of the yellow ones.
Runy the Rogue....didn't change.
I had a lot of fun pvp'ing with Runy. Last year. In the 50s bracket, where subtlety attacks could one shot casters, annoying the hell out of them!
Outlands was okay, I'm not sure how I managed to get him to 70.
Then I went to Northrend.
Some of the initial quests are: Go kill a wolf.
Ok.
Engage combat. Miss miss miss hit hit hit hit hit hit 5 combo points. Eviscerate. 1k. My own hp is at half. Hit hit hit hit miss miss miss. Stun. Bandage. Hit hit hit hit hit. Battle over. One wolf down.
WHAT?
So I should use evasion on every pull?
No no calm down, rogues are for the stealths. Ok so I go Subtlety mode. Ambush. 2k crit. Oh crap its not dead. Hit hit hit hit hit hit miss miss miss miss miss miss. Forget it!
Being a dps whore, running the random dungeons was no fun either. Other than Killing spree, I'm just spamming two buttons. Which is no fun as half the time they don't land!
Runy can stay 70 for another year, that was a fun 15 minutes.
Husbrus the Priest is still 73.
I did TWO quests upon arriving in Northland, since Husbrus is shadowspec, I found her MUCH more efficient and ABLE to do quests than say, my ROGUE. 3 GCDs mobs are dead, rather than the 20 or so GCDs for the rogue. After that it took too much effort to walk from Warsong hold to the shore, so I just started healing and healing and healing. So that'll be the story for her, heal to 80.
Turny the Druid can Lifetap. This was not part of that 2 hours of alt-fun.
I just logged on to queue for Coren Direbrew, because he has free frosts, and its faster than running an entire dungeon for those frosts, yeah I'm getting lazy usually I'd do both for 4 but...meh we don't need that stuff anymore right?
So I logged in at my usual spot by the bank, and the person I had inadvertantly clicked on had my old guild member targetted. I decided to visit. I was invited to the group, and I thought they were doing the weekly, instead we ended up doing ICC 10, clearing 10 bosses easily (except a couple shots at Green Dragon Heals Thing) as a PUG.
Turny picked up a nice Lifetap Upgrade, which I put on the same button as Truny's lifetap. Also, is the buff in the raid at its max now? Cause everyone had 30K+ health? How could anyone die to begin with??
Ok goodbye.

How Classy of You to Join Us
(At an upscale men's clothing store in Hong Kong. Note that Klupty and Momo were the only two in the store, along with the single employee who was helping us try on various pieces. In comes this couple. They proceed to randomly choose items from all over the store, making a big deal out of choosing a lot.)
Husband: "Yeah these look nice, I'll take it", as he grabs an assortment of plain dress shirts. (They are about $1,200-$2,000 HKD each for reference.)
Wife: "How about these ties", holding up a random bunch of ties, green, brown, pink.
Husband: "Yeah, just get them all"
(This goes on for a good ten minutes until they are ready to pay)
Employee: "Sir would you like to try those on, we have a no return policy here."
Husband: "No, whatever I'll just bring them home and worry about it then, I'm a really busy man you know!", he proclaims loudly.
Wife: "Hey what about these shirts? The colors are so nice!", she's looking at the pile near the register.
Husband: "Yeah throw some of those on too". (They were the slim cuts and he was probably 180+ lbs)
Employee: "Thank you your total will be $32,240.00"
Couple: *Pays and leaves in a flourish*
Us: *Standing in shock and horror*
Employee: "Haha don't worry, I know probably only those ties would have fit him, I hate people like that, let him waste his money!"
P.S. OOPS I posted this in the wrong blog LMAO completely not WoW related but whatever enjoy!

DING 70
Mechanar, Botanica, Murmur, Bird Trinket Man bang bang bang bang DING 70!
At 70, priests learn Mass Dispel: fun times.
A few levels ago, Husbrus also got to play with Prayer of Mending. SO THATS WHAT THAT IS! It's kinda fun seeing it bounce around randomly saving people's asses. It's sort of RNGish, sort of even though I sometimes just recast it on the tank, but...it's dingable.
Now it's either BC Heroics (YAY) or the typical Worthland..err...wrathcrown...what's the ice thing expansion stuff called again LMAO....lich king dungeons! Boring! Maybe I should cap husbrus at 70 and just keep BC Heroics. Yes yes.

Husbrus Say What?
Dun dun dun it's been decided Truny's next project is to fund Husbrus all the way to 80!
Who is Husbrus Again?
My priest! I've been healing as a discipline priest on Husbrus and she is already 61 as we speak!
Oh the fun times traversing through RLFG (or whatever that group random thinger is called).
We're had our good-but-are-asshole tanks. We've had our bad-just-looking-to-wipe-everyone-tanks. However most tanks nowadays are competent, along with most DPS......it's really really weird and boring!
I don't know, but I think I like discipling healing more than I like restoration druid healing...I think.
I think I am so used to Power Word Shield, cause you just set it and forget it (well not really, I watch for it to disappear, and watch DoTimer for Weakened Soul to fade), I still cast Renew because of the inner druid in me, though I think this spell is used by Holy Priests more??
Then there's Holy nova! I can heal and damage at the same time OMFG! And I can jump around like a crazy while doing so! Double points!
The use of flash heal is...meh still iffy it's.....too slow! With the talent Borrowed Time, it takes 1.1 seconds to cast WTF?
Though I do miss swiftmend and wildgrowth, it's obvious those used to spamming wild growth for no goddamn reason will spam Holy Nova for no goddamn reason as well!
I'm straying off topic again, as usual.
Hitting level 60 also means a new spell: Penance.
Penance is so cool.
It's so strong. 1.7k healing crits per FWOP = ~5-6K potential heals, 3k minimum all for roughly the same mana cost as flash heal!
Talented, the cooldown is 8 seconds, much more accessible than swiftmend!
Oh I have a question. This stresses me out. Why do priests have so many effing heals?
Heal, Lesser Heal, Greater Heal, Flash Heal.
What the hell is just "Heal", and "Lesser Heal", why do they still have these spells..don't they go something like this:
Heal: Heal 500 for 300 mana 2 seconds.
Lesser Heal: Heal 100 for 200 mana 1.5 seconds
Greater Heal: Heal 2000 for 400 mana 2.5 seconds
Flash Heal: Heal 1000 for 200 mana 1.5 seconds. WTF this just made the first two spells obsolete WTF WTF??
Why does the game start us off with the most useless healing spells? Think starting off with HEALING TOUCH as a druid (LOLOLOLOLOL)
But yeah, Penance is cool. Dot dot dot.
My plan is to obtain the "dungeon" set for casters and socket 'em with epic gems, since Klupty had dozens and dozens of rubies laying around for when Truny used to upgrade her equipment like it was raining 'em back in the ICC gear days.
