Lo-Quality WoW

Had an oddly busy, yet not busy night.  With no raid scheduled, I debated on what to do and then finally figured I’d putter around on my Warrior.  So I log on and immediately sign up for a random.  And as I waited, I flew over to Sholazar Basin to see if I could wrap up a few more quests.

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.

With my Warrior’s new found riches in gear, it was time to get them gemmed and enchanted.  Except I wasn’t quite sure what I should be gemming or enchanting for.

Getting really lazy on posting these things aren’t I? Then again there’s been mainly minor things going on. I finally scrounged up enough tokens to get the last piece of Brewfest attire to get my Disturbing the Peace achievement, which of course also netted me the Brewmaster achievement. The things I go through for a dinky achievement…

Yeah, I’ve been slacking on this blog. It’s easy when this is essentially an exercise in writing for me since I have no audience. And I felt I would just write a long general post covering the past week than trying to split everything out as I usually do.

Ever since Wrath came out, our guild has pondered the questions “how many do we need for Kara now?” It has always been rare to have anything like 10 of us on at any given time so our usual Kara runs had been 4 or 5 of us and the rest as pick-ups. But it would be interesting to see how few we needed now that we’re 10 levels higher. Some of my guild was thinking two, a tank and a high-end dps. I felt at least three because no matter how much damage that dps is doing, it wouldn’t be enough to kill something before the tank died. So my minimum was three, the regular configuration of tank, healer, dps. (We were both right in a way as you’ll see.) I also was thinking that Morose and Netherspite would be difficult even then with so few.

Some nights, I just really don’t have any plans. So I log on and figure I’ll do some dailies to build up my gold reserves. And for the heck of it, I put myself in Looking For Group, because you just never know when you’ll get to go somewhere interesting. Well, it wasn’t interesting, but I did get an invite to a Heroic Utgarde Pinnacle.

I’ve been trying for the past couple of days to get into a Heroic Halls of Stone. But, I felt I just had to move on. So this weekend I tried getting into just a regular Halls of Stone. And it still took awhile before I finally got in a group. But heck, I needed to start doing other stuff, so I’ll take it.

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.
