Have been anxiously awaiting Grant’s new WIT picture.. you would think that with all that time to browse the internet on his job he could come up with something.. but noooooo LOL.

So.. here’s another from me.  Finally.

All you aspiring Deathknights should check out Runewatch addon.. cool looking replacement for your rune frame.  Has a slightly sinister look to it and it will show timers on each rune, runic power and a disease tracker.  There’s a little different skin you can apply for frost, blood, unholy look along with different rune graphics (or custom ones you create) and a minimalistic version too.  I’ll be having it load for all our DK’s. =)

Check out a couple of the screen shots after this click –>  (more…)

So I just discovered Bethany’s blog.  It looks like she’s been doing it for a little while now.  Is it “Just B Scrap”.. or “Just B’s Crap”?  =) Must be a clever play on both!  Unlike the mindless drivel here and WoW links.. Bethany actually writes stuff about herself that people will find interesting.  Not everybody can have websites made of cheese and sarcasm, don’t hold it against her.

[Arthas] says: …and then I’ll murder my father.
[Uther] has gone offline.
[Uther] has come online.
[Uther] says: Sorry, D/C’d. Did you say something?
[Arthas] says: Nope.

And still don’t have much to say.. just GO! on my WIT.

Like it says..GO!

Nevermind (I think..) I’m gonna take a shot at it.  It’s the historical museum next to the Kremlin in Moscow?

One of the funniest replies to the rants and QQ about the incoming Paladin nerf (or nerf of any class) I’ve ever read:

from wowinsider.com comments about ret pally arcticle..

“Go ahead, enjoy your days of OPness. Just remember, though, that they will come to an end. The nerf bat may swing slowly, but it hits hard, my friend. And then? Even after you are nerfed into safety-padded, foam-rubber oblivion, you will still have to deal with the world’s hate and resentment. You will be Target Number Uno in every BG and Arena, long after the days that you represented some disproportionate threat are gone. And when, despite being nerfed to a shadow of your former OP self, you do actually manage to kill someone, you will get neither credit nor glory. You will hear the mutterings of “Oh, a ret pally killed me? Figures. Stupid OP class…” even when the devs have left you with nothing but Crusader Aura and your hammer. So enjoy, young OP ret pally. While you can….

Love,
The Warlocks.”

You can tell he’s lived it.  Problem is, I don’t think the warlock’s low’s on their roller coaster ride were as big a drop as ret paladin’s are.  Retrbution is gonna go from the nothing it was to this exalted high that it has been for a couple weeks since 3.0.2 back down to next to nothing (hopefully not).  All of the perceptions and way they are treated could very well be generalized as he says.. you can tell he’s felt and experienced the perceived OP’ness of his class in such that people won’t grant him recognition of skill playing it.  Problem is.. warlock’s never got nerfed into the ground.  Ret could very well go from nothing to The King right back to nothing.

That’s a much wilder ride than warlock’s ever had.. even if they suffered like he said, warlocks still rank pretty high on the power scale.  We’ll see what kind of a plunge the retadin takes.

I better duel Systine soon if I wanna have any chance of winning.. 

I’m giving up on Cook sending me a new WIT picture anytime soon.. so I’m filling in.  GO!

So.. this morning, Systine, Nightcreep and I picked up 2 others and went to do the Headless Horseman.  Some freshly prot pally (that I guess Nightcreep knew) and a hunter were the two we picked up.  I didn’t pay close enough attention to Ooga (the hunter) saying he had done it earlier today already or I would have kicked him.  Short story, the Sinister Squashling pet dropped twice.. we all decided to need it (as fair to prevent ninjas) and he doesn’t win the first one.. he curses.  Two summons later and it drops again!  I’ve done about 40 summons of HHM and haven’t seen the pet yet that I can remember.  Or the horse..booo.  I win that Squashling though!

Ooga’s mad again.  Cussing that he’s been at it 80 times and hasn’t gotten it.  Now Ooga has the Bloodsail Admiral’s title.. that tells you he’s a freak at getting the vanity stuff and collecting things.  The grind for Bloodsail Admiral title has to have been in the top two absolute most mind numbing grinds ever..  Not being Alliance, I can’t speak for the Spectral Tiger mount rep grind but I’ve heard it’s beyond ridiculous too.

Anyhoo.. he’s pissed because he’s coming to the realization that, as he said that he’s never going to get the damn pet.  I agreed and said “probably not.”  Then it dropped that 2nd time and I won it lol.  It was then that we realized that he couldn’t do the summons because as he had said, he’d already done it today.. bastard.  I don’t remember exactly if he said he had three manned it “earlier today” or “before”.. he probably did inform us and figured we didn’t care and just wanted him there for the DPS…. NOT.  Was all of our fault for not paying closer attention to chat I guess.  Don’t get me wrong.. he didn’t get pissy with anyone in particular.. or come across (too much) that he deserved it because he’s done it 80 times and hasn’t gotten it.. just pissed at missing out it seemed.

Sooo.. now that I have the developers roadblock to everyone being able to get “the Hallowed” title.. I’ve got to start in on all the other little requirements of the achievement.  They removed the 20 masks requirement (almost impossible too) or said they are going to.  Lots of running around for Rossa now next few days.  I need you guys to save at least one charge of your costume rods for me please please please please!  The random one doesn’t count.

Other news.. Jobu’s inscription is 340something.. and have thrown a ton more glyphs into the guildbank (3rd page) along with Threecard putting em in there too.  Herbs are still incredibly overpriced and I sometimes kick myself for doing inscription instead of just making another 2k+ on the herbs I bought so cheap a month and a half ago anticipating inscription.  That was my intention, just to sell the stuff.  Nobody else said if they were gonna be a scribe though and I had the herbs (really cheap).  I still made about 1,200 gold profit on the stuff I had too many of after skilling up.  I mean herbs are just stupid expensive.  What was 50 silver stack of herbs would sell for 50 gold.  Stuff that was 2g per stack of twenty would sell for 70g.. absolutely insane.. it hurt me to keep milling them for ink LOL.

I’ve taken up inscription on Jobu.. only 61 shaman atm.. but I’ll play him up, will just take awhile so if you have plans on being an inscriptionist, go for it!  I did put one of several major glyphs I’ve made into the guildbank for mains.  If you want more for alts I can certainly make ya some, but i’m trying to recoup the cost of the herbs I bought with early high cost glyphs in AH.  Just let me know here or in game what you want and if I’ve got it (and the mats, I’ll make!)

Almost all the minor glyphs are discovered recipes.. I think there’s 61 of them I think and it’s on a 24 hour cooldown discovery… so it’s gonna take awhile before I get all the minor’s.  If you can’t wait, expect to pay a premium for the minors over the majors for awhile in the AH, probably.

If you didn’t know, you take the glyph and you stand near the Lexicon of Power in the room where the inscription trainer is.. the floating book thing.  Find it by talking to guard in old world city.  There you can click the glyph and should automagically open up your glyph window and you can click the blue glowy hand on available, appropriate (major/minor) glyph slot.
