    Hate: Extended extended maintenance led to my server finally coming up two hours into our four-hour raid time (yes we raid Tuesdays, yes this always sucks on patch days). We still had enough time to clear CC and learn Anub, but no time left to try any hard modes.

    Other hate: Melee DPS constantly talking on Vent about their ArPen caps and gear changes and blah blah blah. SHUT UP ALREADY NO ONE CARES BUT YOU. And these are my friends but FUCK.

    the only things that should be on vent is shit-talking during trash and before raids, and important fight info during the raid. aside form that, just type.

    Well we're all in Vent like eighteen hours a day, people talk about all kinds of bullshit, but it's so boring for people who don't actually care about melee DPS gearing math. x_x

    Huh: Was doing quests in Searing Gorge on my 54 orc rogue, when I'm jumped mid-fight by a 60 gnome rogue. We both kill each other at the same time and I get my Honorable Kill achievement. We both run back, I stealth around, they follow me, sap, and attack me again. This time I manage to kill them without dying. And after comparing the two of us on Armory, I'm not sure what just happened there. They have more health than me, more resilience than me, over 1000 HKs to my 2, and a 6-level advantage. Wish I would have been combatlogging that, but I generally don't log random questing.

    I'm really happy with how well we did in heroic ToC tonight. I was expecting to down beats, maybe, and we ended up making it to twin Valkyrs with 38 attempts left (only got two tries in before we had to call it due to time)

    I fucking lost it when we downed the champions, I was dreading that fight so much.

    Hate: Whirlwind BG AV is usually about 50/50 but today I've been getting strings of absolutely terrible terrible AVs.

    For example the one I'm in now, we are at 89 resources, alliance at 320. They have all our towers and Drak down. We have nothing. No towers, not balinda not anything. Fucking idiot noobs. There will be 10 of them running across field of strife, a paladin will run by they'll all dismount and try to kill him. He'll bubble and run, then they'll all chase him on foot.

    I like how so very few fights ACTUALLY have fire that you need to avoid standing in...usually its some other hazard. But a PUG fight LITERALLY has fire.

    I had a fun evening of AV in Blackout Eu (horde are typically horrible in AV). My 2vs2 ret partner said he was bored, so I suggested we go into AV and have a bit of fairly brain dead pvp. So we go in, and despite alliance destroying 4 of our towers, and we only destroyed 2, we won on reinforcements due to the complete beast my ret partner was.

    One of my other guild mates was complaining about the awful AV he was in (horde wiped on Balinda), so we invited him to our next game, along with 2 r.druids in the guild.

    And with our little 5 man group, we proceeded to shut alliance out of getting anything for the next 5 games and had tremendous fun doing it. Yes, it's AV, and I know we're not big or clever, but it was certainly an enjoyable way to spend an evening and win some AV games for once.

    Hate: Aged Yolk

    Hate: Still stuck on Lessrabi being the last achievement for the meta and the red proto-drake. Finding a group for it has been unbelievably difficult (more so than the occulus achievements).

    Double Hate: There's actually a guy in guild who has a rogue alt with all the talents for spamming FoK and disruption who actually told me "If you go, I'd rather bring my priest (his main)." Even offers of tanking it for his priest's separate attempts didn't sway him.

    Happy: Went back to ZG (which I've been procrastinating on), discovered that with my Ulduar gear that Mandokir and Thekal are silly easy (as in, not noticing damage silly).

    Hate: No raptor mount, No tiger mount, and the genocide of all the raptors in there didn't find me the pet either.

    They seem to have rapidly refreshing PvP trinkets and they are immune to taunt from the get go, which makes controlling some of them a bit more complicated.

    Hate: That apparently half the guild folks are slacking and can't throw a group together for a 20 min heroic before/after raid and are super behind on badges and grr. I mean, if I've gotten at least 120 now, what the hell are they doing not having 45-75?

    Hope: That people remember what "spread out" and "don't stand in that" mean before we start hard modes tonight. Also hoping they fixed the loot tables for hard mode; the bosses were dropping trophies last night vs the higher end tier tokens.

    Happy: 25 Normal ToC knocked off last night, and path to Algalon cleared. So tonight should be an awesome clusterfuck of learning.

    Hate: We played like shit last night, and took far longer than we should have on some bosses.

    Happy/Hate: Since switching back to DPSing instead of healing, gear upgrades are now much more significant and rewarding. However this also means I care more passionately about gear than I used to, so I get irked over upgrades more often.

    It's starting to look like the tokens for the 258 ilvl tier pieces don't drop from the bosses, but rather the tribute chest at the end of the run, depending on if your raid does well enough.

    Seems to be the case with 10 man heroic and the trophies as well, as they were not dropping from individual bosses.

    Hate: Last nights 25 man ToC was pretty bad. We wiped on Icehowl, for the first time ever on 25 man. Well, second time. It was the first time we'd wiped due to someone not moving fast enough. A few weeks ago we wiped on the first 25 man attempt we did because dps was bad and he enraged.
    We then wiped about 4-5 times on the champions after one-shotting them last week.
    We then wiped 2-3 times on Valks after 2-shotting them last week.
    We then wiped 4-5 times on Anub before calling it for the night.

    happy: At least I got some sexy plate healing boots, my wife got a trophy, and my friend got some resto shammy boots.

    huh?: Our guild gets leathworking patterns all the time. In uld, we've gotten 1 BS belt, 1 tailoring belt, then about 4 LW patterns. From ToC 25 between the last few weeks we've gotten about 8 patterns, with a few repeats.

    so, re-subbed to WoW again. Boy, things have changed. Went to VoA, apparently there's two new bosses now? Any rate, we cleared the whole thing fairly easily, despite having tanks keep dying on the fire boss guy.
    Anyways, we had 4 hunter pieces and 2 shammy pieces, the two classes we didn't have. The more things change, the more they stay the same, I guess.

    I assume you are using both BoA XP bonus items to level. If so two levels takes like... two hours. ;)

    Yeah this is something I keep mentioning to people lately. I've been getting irritated by my DPS friends constantly obsessing over their BiS and what did or didn't drop this week that they NEED so desperately NOW. New gear is nice and all but I just don't care that much anymore. But it is definitely a healer vs. DPS thing more than a personality thing, because I USED to care more about gear and who got the item I really needed to make my gear work.
