Level 49, halfway done, mostly orange quests

December 31, 2006 By Gitr Leave a Comment

I have entered into Un’Goro crater and am holding my own when I take it slow, and conquering when Rhone, my guildie 60 warlock escort helps out. He loves to DoT crap as I heal their hits while he runs around like a chicken with his head cut off. It works out quite nicely. 5 things drop dead, I get 1200xp, and we loot.

I’m over 40% of the way through level 49 and making good headway. I can easily kill level 53-54 things unless they resist more than 12 spells. Then I’m in trouble.

Please click Deadr’s profile to see what’s happened recently, because I have some good gear now, along with some nice tailoring recipes. I had to hold off on getting the Truefaith Vestments pattern until a little later, because it would just sit there for a couple of weeks.

PuGs Suck: 2.0; Why I hate pick up groups with a passion

December 28, 2006 By Gitr 3 Comments

There are generally 2 kinds of PuGs that I get wrapped up in:

  1. a guild group that is only missing a healer
  2. a complete group of morons

Both of them have shown me to be quite effective in ruining my day for any number of reasons:

    • I am not gaining XP waiting around for the last moron to get to the instance.
    • When I arrive with 35 Morning Glory Dews, that had darn well last us.
    • If you don’t know how to pull, DON’T!
    • If you don’t know how to hold aggro, go back to Deadmines or SFK.
    • Forget about DPS when your healer has 20 seconds until he can fade again and is getting the crap beaten out of him by 3 mobs.
    • When you are in a group with 2 shamans, and the priest says, ‘oom,’ someone should step up and heal.
    • Don’t aggro extra mobs or make a stupid pull when a pat is coming and go, ‘ummm,’ when you die. That was on purpose.
    • If you are in a guild run and on vent with your buddies, and the priest isn’t, then you need to type what you are planning.
    • Just because a healer came for a run doesn’t mean you have his services for the entire day.
    • And the BIG ONE: Don’t pull after getting Fort and the priest has 7% mana! You WILL cause a wipe.

      Deadr is halfway through level 48; attains Shadowform

      December 27, 2006 By Gitr 2 Comments

      I had quite a day today. I ground in Feralas, and moved on to the Thistlegrub elementals in Tanaris. It took 2 hours for a Dew Laden Gland to drop from a Dew Collector, but I had already dinged and used my point to get Shadowform. Cool!

      Then I wasted the rest of the day in Maradon, but got some nice gear. I’m getting really confident with my healing now. I can sure save the day when I have enough mana. I’m getting good at fading and figuring out who to heal when things go bad. Those that die get pissed, but “oh well,” some people aren’t worth saving when it comes to keeping everyone else alive.

      I hope you enjoy the pics. I increased my anti-aliasing setting on the second screenshot to 8x.

      I had the day off for THIS?

      December 26, 2006 By Gitr Leave a Comment

      What a miserable day of PuGs in Sunken Temple and Zul’Farrack. One person after another showed themselves to be incompetant playing their class, or dropped out due to either rudeness or needing to go for one reason or another. After 2 1/2 hours of dinking around in ZF, I’d had it and rode back to Gadgetzan to repair and fly to Feralas. Mid-flight, they begged me to come back because they needed a healer. I, sadly, let them summon me. It sucked too.

      I’m almost 70% of the way through level 47 now, and I’m still enjoying Feralas. Just before logging, I bought enough runecloth and rugged leather to craft my way from 290 to 300 Tailoring. Ding! 300. I’m happy with that. Now to get to level 57 to wear the good stuff.

      Ding 47: Yetis help pave the way

      December 26, 2006 By Gitr 3 Comments

      I hit 47 this morning after a couple more quests and a ton of grinding for the Rage Scar Yetis in Feralas. The drop rate for their Pristine hides is around 19% and I need 6 more for the quest. Alas, there was no good gear on the AH for me, so I’m on my way back for more hides. I managed to get a Perfect hide to drop, so I can turn that one in at the same time.
      I guess everyone is back at work today. No one is taking my offers for LFG in more than 2 hours.
