Turby and Truny are Crit Whores

You know, whenever Kill Shot fires off those big crits...I feel like a Warlock. However, look at my weak-ass auto-shot. I reckon with a new gun *cough* this would go up by a few hundred which is quite significant actually! So in lieu of my last post saying the upgrade was marginal, it is not. Which means more loot buffet dining for Turby! It would mean having to use a gun (boo), and losing the err...1% damage bonus for being a troll for bows?

However, Truny can fire off multiple huge crits! I believe one was Conflagrate, as the bosses are immune to the movement slowing effect and the second one must be either Chaos Bolt or Incinerate (duhh!)

Ohh ohh here's a good example of the Poison from the Rogue boss! STAY THE HELL OUT OF IT!

Yeah so my toons are CRIT-WHORES, sue me. And guess which is the only instance I have been running lately? D=

Turby and Truny still Proving Their Worth in the Trial of Champions

Truny the Warlock on Sartharion's Bag

If you've ever walked up to a freshly murdered Dragon, you will be glad to find a perfectly tailored bag made out of their own skin. Who knew that Dragons were so resourceful, using their own body parts to carry things around?

Anyways, after a VERY fast Heroic Utgarde Keep and Utgarde Pinnacle run, our tank stated that he was going to start an Obsidian Sanctum 25 PUG and asked if we were interested.

I just then realized that Truny did not have the achievement for this place and agreed to join! Now compared to when Turby ran it, our group was insanely fast, consisting 50% Paladins and Death Knights. I don't even think we had to do the "jump into a portal and kill shit" thing. We just rolled over everything and downed Sartharion like nothing.

And there we go, Truny won the roll to a new bag to carry all her random junks.

What's in your bag?

I use my main backpack, for the most current items that I have. It is a LIFO process. (Last in First out).

Well, we have Sartharion's skin bag. A firestone for some critting. A soul stone which I did not have to use from the smooth run. A rune from some Icecrown quest I did not bother finishing. A lance for running H ToC, trash cloth worth 50 silver, some gears from some quest in Storm Peaks I am not bothering to finish anytime soon, Giant Eggs from doing the "collect 30 boomkin bloods" for the Warlock mount quest, and some torch from....somewhere..probably a quest I am not going to finish anytime soon.

The end.

WoW T9 Gear Set - A Review and Comments

To the left, we have a picture of the Warlock's T9 set-Horde side.


Take a look at it, carefully. Yeah, I bet you are loving the iron mask, and the steel shoulder plates! It looks like the bracers and chest-guard are reinforced with boiled leather as well.


I am excited, does this mean Warlocks finally get to wear Plate??? How would you make cloth stand up like that I wonder?




Now let's take a look at all the T9 sets:

Very interesting. If you can not see, starting from the top row left to right. Warrior, Paladin, DK, Rogue, Druid, Priest, mage, Warlock, Shaman, Hunter.




Notice how all the plate is the same model, all the leather is the same model, and same with the cloth and mail?

How creative! At least they did not use all browns!

I mean, the design IS pretty bad-ass but when you look at all of them, they all have the same theme: large-ish spaulders with a bad-ass type of helm!

Now I had seen these pics a while back and something had bugged me ever since and I just realized what it was.

ALL THESE PICES CAN REPLACE ONE ANOTHER.

Don't they all look like they could be plate? Every single item maybe other than the cloth robes could be used interchangeably! (Practically speaking what defense would a pair of CLOTH spaulders bring huh?)

NOW FOR THE ALLIANCE

WHAT HAPPENED??

The plate reminds me of the feeling I get when I walk by the Old Navy and wonder to myself "what the hell do they sell in there?" And what's with the three spot lights, god they are so bright!

The Rogue and Druid are OK save for the Bird-Beak noses. If I was a member of the Scourge I would be on the floor laughing if someone dressed as an oversized chicken were to attack me, no matter how savagely.

Clothies. Oh. My. God. I am so sorry. I do not know why but just seeing the cloth sets make me want to apologize for something. They look like over-wrapped, immobilized Easter Egg Statues!? Again if I were the Scourge and a Human Warlock were to start attacking me I think I would die from going *squints* "What the f- is that? Hey Joe-zombie come over...come see this holy crap hahahahaha!!"

The Mail wearers. These sets are actually made of wood. They look like extremely dated, poorly painted old furniture that no one wanted and ended up in some pawn shop only to be discovered fifty years later.

I am so sorry!

Turby and Truny and Turny who are HORDE!

Where's my Lifetap?

Anyone who has a Warlock and have played any other class would already know what I am talking about.

Ever instinctively push your Lifetap key while on your:

a) ...Resto Druid, and forget that your mana regen is godly already? Guilty.

b) ...Hunter, instead of using Aspect of the Viper? Guilty. (I did however, bind my Viper key to the same key as Lifetap..)

c) ...Mage, instead of sitting down and drinking, hence wasting 30 seconds of your life every one minute? Guilty.

d) ...Second Warlock and err that is the correct thing to do. Guilty.

e) ...Death Knight or Rogue and realize "oh my god I should log off now..."

Truny the Warlock on Mages - Disposing Dispositions

Why did I choose to play a Warlock and not a Mage? Was it because of the shadow damage? Or was it because of the Demons? Because Warlocks are supposed to be more "evil"?

I think so!

I mean come on, people make Mages sound malevolent and crazy with their fire spells but...it just doesn't cut it for me.

To me, Mages feel too Hocus-Pocus.

"Oh 'abracadabra I create a fireball, Shazam, a larger fireball which I shall call Pyroblast."

Whereas a Warlock gets spells called Incinerate, Immolate, Conflagrate. There's action tied to these names, they have intent. To kill.

Am I just a weird person with murderous intent? Maybe...

But anyhow, I had created a mage a while ago and got him up to level 8 before I got tired of having to drink after every fight and deleted him. Rest in peace whatever your name was. Oh yes it was Bran. After Brandon Stark.

What was with this downtime? Where's your lifetap?

A few month's after Bran's death, I decided to (yes I did Mihael) give Mages another shot since they are obviously quite strong at end-game. I thought..well if they could match damage with Truny....fine, my Shaman can die and I shall remake a mage.

And then Druny was born. To help with the downtime, I equipped her with Runy's relic sword, enchanted with the Crusader powers. Yes, I shall cast AND melee until a reasonable level to save downtime. And it worked. I also purchased the relic chestpiece to go with the shoulderpads for 20% bonus exp and lo-and-behold Druny is already level 11 (or 10).

I found casting Fireball to be quite unsatisfying as its just......its...the same fireball my IMP casts! However at level 8/9 or so I found a taste for Arcane Missiles as it was something new and dealt reasonable damage. Though I still didn't feel very malevolent. Still a mage in training. Druny has yet to see the big spells.

Now the question is, should I go Fire/Ice/Arcane? Also, this video makes playing a mage seem UTTERLY AWESOME and I must be privy to it!



Perhaps I can get used to this "clean" sort of caster dps.
