    Brownie points if you can identify the event(s) that each story-headline refers to.

    I mean, I remind you silly bitches of these things pretty much constantly so it should be fresh in your mind.

    Also, my standard braggart stories are thus:

    Razorgore
    48
    The Mines
    Scholo/Deadmines
    Kicked from Levi
    Pet DPS

    Obvious
    No idea
    No idea
    2 manning DM at appropriate level/3 manning scholo at 60?
    Obvious
    Pet does more damage than noobs in group.

    Well I have no idea on the two I said no idea on, the first one is kiting all the mobs, obviously. The Leviticus one you got kicked out for refusing to use lolaggro mod and I don't remember the other reason.

    The other reason is douchebaggery, as always. Also, some sort of bullshit about getting a 2 hander or a 1 hander for whatever spec Munkus wasn't?

    New month and new consortium gems and a new brew of the month.

    Does anyone elses brews of the month seem to not be working? The goblin binary one stopped working after a few days and then this new Autumn Acorn Ale does nothing.

    They're working fine, the buff isn't guaranteed from drinking one it's random. The new one makes a squirrel with a giant <3 follow you around for 30 seconds or so.

    I guess I should go ahead and give it to MGCW, since he got more than half dead-on.

    It was 2 man VC at 17-18 and 3 man scholo at 60, correct.
    Pet DPS spot on.
    Levi half right.
    Razorgore everyone here knows ad nauseum.
    And yes, 48 was from a fateful AB:

    Yeah, I usually put it off until the end of the month, just in case an alt happens to stumble across enough consortium rep to get to a new plateau.

    Which apparently I completely forgot about. Oh well, let's be honest, I probably missed a blue gem or two, and a pile of green gems that I'd slowly convert into a blue gem or two.

    Luckily, I did snag the bag for my exalted rogue, who got a bunch (2 or 3, as I recall) of blue gems.

    Edit: which might or might not be the case, but as we saw with the "pet dps" story, Munkus isn't afraid to leave out pertinent details.

    Though people should do more damage than a pet. Unless they're killing flares, like good little raiders, instead of fapping over a full evocation worth of damage.

    Fuck those flares. I will always maintain that melee DPS should stick to Curator at all times. Let the ranged handle the flares. I've seen it proven time and again that it adds up to a quicker Curator kill.

    Curator always dies during the first evocate, and we never have more than one person on him full time. Do your job and kill the flares.

    I'm just giving Munk shit, and he clearly knows it. :P

    Curator usually dies during the first evocate for us as well these days, and personally I'm a fan of just ignoring the last spark and violating him through the pants. Unless the tank is wearing waffles for armour, his 'enrage' dps isn't that high, and even with a pair of healers, keeping everyone up should be cake.

    Unless you're running a pair of paladins that are half asleep at the wheel, or something, their raid wide damage is pretty minimal.

    Yes, raid wide. Real men stack up on his ass. Spreading out is for sissies. And actually makes the encounter far more difficult than it needs to be.

    I do my job and do more DPS on the boss by focusing on him rather than wasting it running around the room chasing after flares that are bouncing all over the place because people are going to town on them. There's more than enough ranged DPS to handle flares.

    Also, I'm talking about when Kara was being done by people who needed the gear, not by T11 sporting Illidan-rapers. Even then, why would it matter?

    I agree really, the flares aren't all that and constantly changing target (as a rogue) really fucking hurts my DPS.

    When I did kara it was with a new guild, we were all <T4 gear. Dropping him in one evocation would be a pipe dream at that point, we didn't really want to lose the dps that could be gained from a rogue using AR/BF and going nuts on him for the full duration.

    Which brings me to The Mine brag.

    Sidely (dorf priest) Korvos (human pally, spec'd ret) and myself (dorf warrior, MS).

    We had a PuG on our side and were up against a horde pre-made. We went to the mines.

    Within a minute, it was 4-1. The alliance only had the mines. The horde was GY camping the alliance at the stables.

    After about three minutes, they sent five guys down to take the mines.

    After six, they sent ten.

    After about 10, they sent what seemed like their entire team, but I couldn't really count fast enough. They lost all their points but the farm as a result. Afterwards, they didn't go after the mines again and were content with winning 4-1.

    None of our brilliant allies ever came to help us.

    They both become equivalent or near equivalent I would look it up right now but Wowhead is down.

    It's pretty odd how some things worked out... Occasionally healer items end up way better than caster items because of how they did the conversions. See: haste necklaces in ZA. Healer one is better in every way now, was debatable before.

    They couldn't CC. Kor had BoSac up and would cleanse sidely if he got CC'd. Sidely would run into the bushes/mine/carts and hide. It took them a while to realize that the Sidely was there.

    And when they would kill one of us, we would either run to our corpse and rez or would get an immediate GY rez. The biggest trick was that they were totally unable to kill all three of us at the same time and take the flag.

    I love finding good hiding spots as ranged dps or a healer for that kind of stuff. As a mage, warlock, hunter or healer, I often try to defend the BS from one of the little ledges down the hill. People often don't look there while they're running around in a vast melee by the flag or building. Doubly so for healers, since you don't have incriminating streams of fire, ice, arrows or shadowy death to give away your location.

    Further hillarity; defending stables as an engineering paladin. Not many people think to look for the healer at the bottom of the stream.

    Warglaive rogues are among the finest PVP tanks known to man. They attract more than their fair share of attention, and while I'm sure there are plenty of bad ones out there, statistically speaking, they're more likely to be at least passably good than utter mouthbreathers.

    If I find one on a healing class, I usually spend the rest of the game finding creative places to heal them from while they eat groups alive.
