Lo-Quality WoW

Way back when, I sat down and forced myself to grind instances to upgrade my Hunter.  Now I find myself trying to do the same with my Warrior and it’s so painfull.  Part of it, is knowing that since I’m trying to upgrade both her Protection and Fury specs means twice the amount of items to upgrade.  And the other part is the fact that I’ve been running with groups with a good to great skill level and being put into PUGs where it’s obvious people are clueless, it just drives me nuts.

It’s probably ironic that when I decide to start writing a WoW blog, I actually start playing WoW less. But that’s more a factor of the new television I bought. And since my xbox 360 is the only thing that can use 1080p, it’s what I’ve been messing with. Then again, this weekend would have been limited WoW time regardless with a dinner with friends and having to rush over to my parent’s house to fix their computer. Now I know I was going to write up a bit about my hunter first but some interesting things happened on the weekend that I wanted to write about so my hunter’s introduction will be later. Fortunately I did get some WoW time in and it was primarily on my Hunter. Managed to run a Heroic Violet Hold and finally finish the Lockdown! achievement by killing Erekem. For those who aren’t familiar with VH, the first two bosses you face are randomly chosen from a group of six and for “Lockdown!”, you need to kill each one once. I’ve been to Heroic VH 6 times, and the majority of the time I’ve face Lavanthor and Zuramat. But when Erekem popped up, I remember thinking: “hmm, don’t quite remember this fight” and then when he died and the “Lockdown!” popped, I went “oh, that’s why.” But it was nice getting that achievement.
