Lo-Quality WoW

Another quiet night on the WoW front. There was a brief Wintergrasp battle I was in but it was hardly worth mentioning. I still attempted to get into a Heroic Halls of Stone but had no luck. I did get invited to other instances, and you know things are slow if people are desperately trying to fill dps slots on runs. Did some wandering around Kalimdor, but I’m still having trouble finding quests I haven’t done. So with nothing else to talk about, let’s talk about how and why I’m a Survival Hunter.

I’m so glad nobody reads this blog. It’s not been advertised and most people, even my guildmates, don’t even know that it’s out there. Frankly I’d be surprised anyone is reading this, essentially making these posts long talks to myself. But the reason I’m glad nobody reads this is because my last post would have sent up a flurry of flamed posts or comments. Then again, most of my posts are like that since they’re my opinion and not everyone is gonna agree.

If you can hear crickets chirping, it’s because adventuring around last night was very quiet. I’m still short a Halls of Stone run for that very last Elder but all the runs last night seemed to be for regular and not heroic. Yes, it’s easier on regular than on heroic but if you’re sitting there as a lvl 80, you should be doing things in heroic unless you absolutely have no idea about the fights, then maybe a regular run to get familiar with it, but that’s it. But since I didn’t have a run and I was bored, I puttered around the classical lands.

Since I realized that this blog has been primarily my hunter with a general rant here or there, I figured I would kill some time writing about my warrior, Aleania. Oddly enough, she’s one of the few characters with a “real” name. I’ll go into how I name my characters later but it’s rare to have my character’s name match one from the real world.

Because of a late start to the night, I didn’t get nearly as much done as I would have liked. But I still got a few instances in, knocked up one more Elder and even got a brand new staff, the same staff I passed on the night before. Now why couldn’t the Sonic Spear drop like that when we were running all those Shadow Lab runs over and over?

Every so often, I just have one of those nights. Got invited to a 10-man Naxx that fell apart because we were short a healer. Got invited to a Heroic Nexus, no healer. Heroic Drak’Tharon? No healer in sight. Another Heroic Nexus, again no healer. Heroic Old Kingdom? You mean your hunter’s not a healer? 10-man OS, oh but we need a healer or two. On Draenor, in BC, it was tanks that tend to go missing. I think with the addition of Death Knights and the reworking of tank classes in general, tanks became easier to grab and now it’s the healers turn.

It’s the Lunar Festival and I’m still taking medication! Now Northrend gets a bunch of Elders, of which an annoying number are in instances, which means people who probably don’t do many instances are doing them and others who sort of know what’s going on but really don’t are out there as well. So Achievements, a couple of old quests, and a handful of instances. Not bad for being out of commission for a few days.

It’s amazing, I apparently get more done in WoW when I’m sick. Somehow, people must sense when I wanted to call it a night and that’s when I start getting invites. And of course, being the moron I am, I probably stayed on way past the point I should have. Medicated, tired, sick, it’s amazing I got things accomplished at all…

Today is patch day and that means patch 3.0.8 is now live. And as many other hunters, I’m a bit annoyed at the nerf bat hit we took. Unlike other places, I really don’t work the math out but even I know that dropping the attack power to Steady Shot from 20% to 10% is gonna hurt. And removing the secondary target effect of Explosive Shot? That mainly annoys me because I’ve lost my main AoE attack. Yes, I know I have Volley but half the time, in the middle of a fight, I end up with a weird positioning of my targeting for it and I don’t quite do as much damage as I should. At least they upped the damage but it definitely affects the way I play.

Not that I set out to get a new hat, but it just worked out that way. I was actually planning on a short WoW night since the cold has been slapping me around a bit. But any night where I get to experience a new raid instance, pick up a couple of achievements, and get a shiny new hat? Well, that’s a good night.
