TBC Greens Are Better Than Your Blues

By 5 Comments

If there is one reason to buy the expansion, then let me just say the loot is awesome! Forget that you can level up. Forget new dungeons. Spend a few hours doing quests and then go back and play your old dungeons with new vigor. Not that you will want to go back there or forget about leveling or playing new instances, but you do have that option. 🙂 

I haven’t quite finished processing the graphics yet, but I finished 2 quests this morning before work. In both cases, the reward was better than Strat/Scholo/UBRS/LBRS blues. How many of us ran UBRS 70 times trying to get the Dal’Rend set, or the chestpiece from Drakk?

This loot is disgusting (* denotes what I chose): [Read more…] about TBC Greens Are Better Than Your Blues

Deadr’s New Gear/Loot

It has been quite a week of loot dropping and quest rewards, so aside from the ones that I have already Vendor Trashed, here are my conquests:

Rod of Corrosion

Arachnidian Pauldrons of the Owl
Rotgrip Mantle
Serpentskin Spaulders
Gaea’s Raiment of Shadow Wrath
Vestments of the Atal’ai Prophet
Devout Bracers
Rainstrider Leggings
Archaeologist’s Quarry Boots
Blessed Prayer Beads
Chained Essence of Eranikus

Devout Set, or Not Devout Set; That Is My Question

By 4 Comments

I bought the Devout Bracers when I dinged 52 for about 10g. I couldn’t remember at the time which was Priest and which was Mage, so I also bought the Magister’s Bindings since they were on the cheap. I sold the Magister’s Bindings yesterday for 35g, a nice 12g profit.

Back to my point, I should be hitting 55-56 before the expansion comes out. With an experienced MC/BWL/Naxx guild, should I even bother running UBRS after UBRS after Scholo for my Devout set, only to eventually get full tier 3, 4, or 5 gear? Would Truefaith Vestments, and other craftable or buyable gear keep me too weak to be usefull in a raid of that intensity level?

Don’t get me wrong, I will still be running those instances because they are fun, but they are a pain, when you have to run them over and over, knowing they are your only hope for a set piece to drop.

With Gitr, I had only gone into MC as far as Garr, and I never did get a chance to take down Ony, so the high-end raiding is completely foreign to me, as far as how gear affects your ability to contribute.

Uldaman Down

I finally used the LFM last night. I got Wakarathe, a guildie 60 mage, to join me and I found a husband/wife duo of 45s rogue and shaman to join us. We went in the back door and cleaned out the entire instance with no deaths, thanks to Klik. I was back in the saddle again, and I healed in the highest instance yet.

After we took out the big stone woman in the map room, I got her blue cloth leggings, went into her chamber and my computer completely locked. [Read more…] about Uldaman Down
