Topic 24 - Class Fantasy Yay or Nay

Image
Post about class fantasy with some fantasy conversation between my pally and my warlock. Warlock: I hate my class hall. I hate my class mount. Demons stink and they don't bathe. I have to go into the sewers to get to my class hall and all it is space on the demon hunter starting zone. Demon Hunters!?! who took my demon form in return for empowered demon minions. Paladin: I was just born about a year ago now, so I am new to this, but you're a warlock. You have a demon as a pet following you around all the time. I'd think you would be used to it by now.  Your class mount is almost identical to that fel-horsey you rode around Dalaran for months. Now you are saying you don't like it?   Like you have it hard. Your class hall is a shiny golden palace. Your mount comes in three colors and you can change it based on your outfit. Top it off, you got help the priest class hall and stole away one of their followers. You have a giant space alien dancing aro...

Something's in the air, but it's not love.

Ah February. Love is in the air. Those heart shaped chocolates. The exchanging of sappy cards and trinkets. The endless grinding the apothecaries for a mount with an insanely low drop rate. Ah holidays.. So, Elkagorasa has been taking a bit of a holiday. He's gone back to Pandaria to do a little recreational activities. He started the adventure hanging out with Nate on his little floating town. Elk was already honored among the Anglers as being a decent fisherman. Getting exalted meant hanging out for 3 different adventures each day. These trips ranged from fishing up garbage (player competition), killing puffer fish, and collecting the clam meat. The 'worst' was fishing up a piranha from the rivers . The oddest was fist fighting a shark . (spam #3 on cooldown). Those goblins loved sending him to 'blow-up' things, but usually he would just DOT everything up and watch it die quickly. At hitting Revered, Elk picked up the Angler commendation , basically turning ...

Comic: Demonology in Legion (complete)

Image
I had plans to post an image every few days leading up to today, Easter Sunday, ending with my final punchline today. Vacation happened faster than I could anticipate and spent all day last Saturday packing instead of posting. So instead of episodic, this is the entire comic. You should be able to open the first one, then simply slide to the right to get the next panel of the comic. The Summons The Meeting The Quest The Legion What?? The Agony ZZIIIIPPPPP!! The Solution Oh, this doesn't look good. The Love This doesn't look good. The Quote Go forth malefic bunnies! This comic was inspired by this quote posted November 10, 2015 by Blizzard. This blog post details changes coming to warlocks in Legion and how demonology has 'strayed' from it initial inception.

Northrend Timewalking - Disc Priest

Image
Had the most awesome experience last night running Northrend dungeons. I ran with a pug, which appeared to be 4 guildies (tank + 3 DPS) and me. During the night, we ran through 4 different dungeons (1 of them twice). Out of all 4, we only had one full wipe and a 2-3 deaths. Ahn'kahet - My least favorite of all the TW dungeons. Spiders that fear causing cascading pulls, large room with groups of wandering mobs (before Jedoga ) that also cause cascading pulls. Pit of Saron - Ran this one twice. Lots of wandering mobs in starting area, but biggest complaint was there is a mob that causes a stun. I'd get hit by this probably each fight. The first boss, likes to 'freeze' players so lots of dispels.  The Nexus - Only real issue is the first boss (collection of Alliance frozen in mage ice blocks), is easy for tank to pull entire room.  Utgarde Pinnacle - Our full wipe was in this dungeon. The trash right before King Ymiron. Tank pulled one too many of the group...

Dec-meh-ber

(started this a few weeks ago, but got on back burner I can't promise it will be a page turner!) Twas the week before Winter Veil and all through the land,  LFR RNG gave me nothing useful, just more gold in hand. For the weekly event I even tried to run some BGs but was unable to "Stay[ing] Alive" (by the BeeGees) Twice, I ran along with a normal raid,  but soon after I joined, no one else had stayed.  We tried and wiped three times on a single boss , then called it a night. Such a miserable loss. Late to the party, so I'd call it a toss. My priest has completed the next phase of her ring.  Now she's collecting hundreds of  fractured things . Moving out of Highmaul, makes her heart sing! One tablet down, still need 600 to bring. Dressed in heirlooms, he's a fashionable twink. During the (11th) Anniversary, I started a hunter. He's a dwarf, and he's quite a punter . His name is Erlenmyer , themed from Scienc...

Oh Blizzard, Can You FIX My Toy Box?

Image
So, as I now have flying on all my toons, I've started flying around to all of the various treasure locations in Draenor collecting toys whenever possible. In addition, I have 2 (of my 3 100s) that are now actively working to improve their garrison followers by sending them on tons of missions. This means they get all the nice drops, goodies and things from these missions. Sadly, I still get at least one Staff of something another about once a week. See, the problem is that when I get these wonderful little treasures, I can't simply 'add' them to my Toy Box, (click to bind) as I have already collected this toy with my main. I can't simply throw it away, I have to D.E.L.E.T.E. it. I can't even sell it on the auction house as it's BOP. Blizzard, someone's broken my toys and I am grumpy. I have some ideas to fix this. If I click on a toy that I already have, cast it's effect on me, then consume it.  OR If I get a new toy, popup a little ...

August Status Update

Image
It's been awhile since my last post, so I thought I'd at least share some of my progress in the game. Legion: Warlock Class Hall - A little alone time. Legion: Like many, I made sure to watch the big expansion reveal this month. I am excited about some of the things they are introducing. I think we are long overdue for a new hero class. It's all new continent, so no one can complain about 'rehashed' content. On the other hand, Class halls for warlocks? I have always seen the warlock as a loner. We rely on our minions to do our bidding. If they aren't working out, we will even go to measures of transforming ourselves into demons. So, are we going to have a phased location and don't need to share it with anyone else?? Pathfinder:  My main is about 60% complete with the reputation. As of this morning, I am 75% complete (i.e. middle of honored) for Saberstalkers and Voljin's Headhunters. I am still only at 40% through the Awakened rep (still ...

So, Blizzard, You Don't Like Flying (anymore)...

1) First epic flying mount 2) 50 mounts achievement 3) Long Strange Trip achievement I totally understand your logic.  In Warlords of Draenor, you've spent countless hours developing rewards and quests around never flying. Treasures hidden throughout the Nagrand that are only reachable via flight. Bosses hidden deep into level 100 zones that drop mounts, toys and epic gear. Having the option to helicopter into a zone , drop on the destination, then airlift out immediately bypassing all that design , glory and, well, basically all that work you've done. But what about all the work I've done? I get the feeling you're planning to throw, my 20 flying mounts , all in the trash . Windrider is simply a cat mount with wings . Drake? Yeah, funky dinosaur . Red Flying Cloud is now a low hovering fog bank. That $25 sparkle pony I bought from the Blizzard store? Dumb wing-clipped pegasus! Check out my $25 dumb wing-clipped pegasus mount This got me thinking.....
