Nice UI. Been thinking about the game again, but I know what I'd do, I'd get bored really quickly. Also, connection is terrible. So, bah. If I play any MMO... it'll have to wait until I get my own connection, and stop leeching off my parents. Looking at FF14, but yeah right.

Ben puppy eye'd me and brought me back for a few new runs, got a new staff you can see on the armory...actually I think it's the same one Raylu has. The game is still not hard, even on heroic, but hey, whatever. He wants me to get my enchanting maxed so I can buff his gear, but I told him I'm not going to pay $15/mo to be his enchantabitch, so I requit.
And for the record I HATE what they did to Conflagrate. <.< But Destruction is still better than Demonology so what choice do I have.

Like I said before, Heroics will never be hard at this point cause 90% of the population of players have gear that over power them for the heroic dungeons. They were hard before when the the expansion was new. January of last year I remember Azjol Nerub being extremly difficult but now that Tier 9 and 10 are out we can just breeze through Heroics, even the ones that were considered hard originally, like AN. The new Icecrown ones are pretty tough. Have you done Halls of Reflection on Heroic? That is a nasty one. I have not been in a group for that where we havn't atleast whiped once. And most groups give up on that one after a few failed attempts.
As for Ben, there are tons of people who can enchant him stuff. He doesn't even have to pay them, most say "tip appreciated but not expected". Infact, lots of enchanters will actually pay a person if they skill them up. Only problem is finding one whose on. Sometimes I can't find one when I need one. But I also have a few in my guild. And I know I will never have to pay them either. ;D

My account runs til the 28th of Feb so we may yet try Reflection. But...maybe I have. We did two of the new Icecrowns on Heroic, the one where Jaina is "helping" and you have to kill the guy on the flying dragon, and one where you have to run a gauntlet while the Lich King is chasing you. We had zero problems whatsoever on the one with the dragon, but we still can't beat the gauntlet...but not because it's hard really, the mobs do die pretty quickly. What's hard is that they just keep coming.

Halls of Reflection is the one where Arthas is chasing you. Pit of Saron is the one with the dragon dude. Pit of Saron was ok. Its only a problem if your tank bites off more than he can chew. Halls of Reflection, as you say, you are being swarmed. So your tank isn't even biting he's being forcefed (ha ha, analogies)
I bought one of those gaming mice today. I will be returning it. Aside from feeling uncomfortable as hell it also screws up my assigned keys everytime I try to assign mouse buttons. I assigned Guardian Spirit to a thumb button on the side but in doing so I also assigned "C" to Guardian Spirit. So if I press "C" to open up my character sheet I end up blowing my Guardian Spirit cooldown instead. I spent an hour and a half tinkering with it and I end up with the same results. So back to BestBuy this goes. XD

I liked the Forsaken...to a point. And that point is the Silverpine Forest. After that, all the fun of being undead and their lore...just vanishes into the ether known as the "generic quest grind." I put up with the next area (for the life of me I can't remember it, where Soutshore is) on my Undead Rogue but it really, really waned past that point, which was so very disappointing. I had high hopes for Forsaken. But taking Aretek to 80 taught me one thing:
I will NEVER do it again.
The only reason Aretek got to 80 is because I had a nagging monkey on my back...and because pet jobs are sooooo overpowered. <.< But the horrific grind between 70-80 and the utter boredom of Outland made me decide, I'll never put another character through that. I like Rogue, I like it a *lot,* but not enough to suffer through 70-80 again.
I liked Druid well enough but I liked the specialization of Warlock more. Being so well rounded made it difficult for me to choose what gear to focus in, and I didn't fully understand the class at the time. I went back with Heirloom gear but just realized the class just isn't as powerful as Warlock and dear GOD am I spoiled on Life Tap. Innervate is nice, yes, but it doesn't even come close to comparing. <.<

What was so horrific about 70-80? I found it went by pretty fast. That was without Heirlooms. I have too many levelled alliance toons to wanna go Horde at this point. Not to mention I like the people in my guild. Paladin is fun for me latly. I've been taking him through some Outland instances. Tanking is a nice, new perspective and I am enjoying it. Also levelling Warrior on the side and I am finding I like it a ton more than Death Knight. Having to deal with Runic Power, Runes and cooldowns gets annoying. Its only level 36 but I'm having fun with it. I am in Arms spec. We tried doing some Icecrown Citadel tonight. But Blizz screwd up. Tonight's patch was the release of Icecrown Citadel on Heroic mode but the fourth boss in was glitched for everyone and it was on auto Heroic mode. We have a hard enough time doing this raid on Normal so having a boss being forced on us on hard mode put a damper on our evening. It wasn't just us either, there were people in Gen Chat who had no idea why the boss was a billion times harder than usual. XD

Oh...maybe the 10million exp required to get there? And you only got around 20k exp a quest and still took as long to complete as 1-70's did? ...well, ok, 15-70's. Took forever! XD Plus, oooooooooh I HATE the Sons of Hodir now.

You should have played before they made it easier to get 1-70. 40 used to be an accomplishment!

Eh, I never found the amount of exp required to level to 80 that huge. It was for that final gap between 78-80 but thats expected for the final levels. I wasn't around when it was a huge pain just getting 40. I have a friend at work who said the same thing though. I'm glad its faster now. I just want to get my toons to 80 asap and start doing heroics. The ICC boss has been fixed. We beat him tonight. Also tried Rotface again but still can't beat him.

My guild FINALLY beat Rotface on Saturday. It was a quite a victory. It took three atempts. First was absolute crap, second we got got him down to 0.2% health. He had like 5000 health left. All he needed was one 5-6k crit and he woulda died but nope, we whiped right at the tail end. Third attempt was our final and we nailed it. Now that we have this one in the bag I want to record it. So far it is my favorite fight in the ICC raid. Healers need to contribute more than just heals, DPS need to contribute more than just DPS and the tank.....gets to fucking stand there and hold aggro. He's got the easiest job. XD
Also, TankSpot has a documentory about Raiding on YouTube. I think its part 1 of series but I'm not sure.
Starts off kinda entertaining but after a while it becomes just nerds talking inane WoW talk.

Still thinking about coming back to WoW. Caller and I are talking about playing elves again... I miss my girl anyways. Still, I dunno though, we'll see. Looking at my old screens certainly doesn't help matters either.
