I changed my huntard to a Draenei, and changed her name to Nikaenai. Sounds russian mebbe, which works well for my little cossack goat. I'm twinking her out, I bought her feet of the lynx boots, and a few other blue BoE items. I need Aretek's enchanting services to help round her out. Gonna be doing PvP with her, I did a few AB matches as her, and came out in the top 3 in kills each time. Really impressive. Tai is usually somewhere at the bottom... but it may be because her equipment sucks. I got my first epic world drop as Tai today. Too bad it sucked. It's a mail helmet with 32 stamina, 13 agility and... 13 spirit. Orz. Sells for 12 gold, oh boy! Keeping it for the huntard.

We beat Sindragosa tonight. Quite surprising considering Phase 2 would kill us within seconds. I honestly thought this fight would take us atleast a couple more weeks to complete. I don't have any screens unfortanatly but this is what it looks like.... A big portion of the fight involves people getting trapped in ice blocks and the raid needs to break em free. But at the same time you need to hide behind the ice blocks so it shields you from room wide AoE which is otherwise unavoidable. Its funny how a boss can have a room wide AoE that can whipe a group but at the same time will also provide you with a way to avoid the devestating attack. XD Anyways, I'll make my own video next week.

Been getting Tairotha some of the PvP equipment. It's easier to get, and well, the drop rate is 100%! Check out my pretty lady and those sexy PvP Rogue shoulders: www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Doomhammer&cn=TairothaI also made sure I got off my ass and enchanted her like she should be. It pretty much broke me, but my DPS skyrocketed. My gear still "sucks" but by the time I get the full PvP set I should be nearing 5k Gear Score I hope. Yes Caller, I don't like GS either, but let's face it, it's a fact of life for a level 80, just like you told me. After I get the full PvP set, I should be able to do Heroics without shame. I also started up a new pally. I wanted a horde pally, but I can't enchant her stuff, and I can't send her money, AND horde never wins the world PvP on Doomhammer. At least not for long. I think I saw in trade chat horde side that Doomhammer was 4 to 1 ratio. So, I made a human. I'm starting to enjoy PvP. Well, on everyone except Tai. I'd enjoy it on Tai more if everyone wasn't so absurdly overgeared, and I could, you know, actually kill someone. >.<

I'm not a fan of Gear Score either but unfortanatly is important if you hope to do anything at 80. Like you said, PvP is rough without gear when everyone else has better gear than you. But also in raids most raid bosses have a thing called an enrage timer. Meaning if you don't kill a boss withing a certain amount of time they will either do a room wide AoE that kills everyone or they will gain a massive attack buff and one shot everyone one at a time. Being a skilled player is one way to do good DPS but having the gear to go with it also helps a lot.
And don't worry about having a 5k GS for Heroics. You can go and do those while in the 4k range and it will be fine. 5k is for when you want to start raiding. If you have interest in that.

Well, I do and I don't. My comp lags a lot in any place with a lot of people, or a lot of action. I dunno how well I would be able to perform in such circumstances. I'm probably just gonna continue to harass hordies on the battlefield, and do heroics for seals for my other characters.
I'm at 3950 right now. One more new piece and I'll be over 4000. My DPS currently runs about 2.5k, with my combat spec. I'm considering going back to Mutilate spec, but I dunno. I like my AoE capabilities. I use my Subtlety spec in PvP, and solo.
I gotta go back to grinding BGs. I get a new piece of armor about every 3-4 days, I do about 5 BGs each day. Though I slacked off yesterday!
I also gotta send my DK out to mine. I am broke. Really broke.

Try doing a weekly boss! Unless ofcourse it an ICC weekly boss but if its a Naxxramas weekly give it a shot to test the lag waters. Plus you get a ton of badges. 5 Frost and 5 Triumph. You know where the weekly raid quest giver is right? Its near the Violet Hold in Dalaran.

Yeah tell him which weekly raid you asked me if you could do for your first. Been working on Naro, got him to 63, I want him out of Outland ASAP. Was gonna wait til they inevitably reduced the exp required from 70-80 but I just can't stand Outland and I must get him working.

Well, I asked you WHERE it was at Caller. I knew if it was ICC I couldn't do it!
My GS is 4000 now. I bought a shiny new necklace.
I don't feel comfortable doing the weekly raid yet, I don't think. I still feel I need to learn how to play my class better.
I've been bored lately, so I've been putzing around with hordies on Ravenholdt. I'm thinking of starting a Blood Elf rogue there. Maybe the world PvP environment will help me be a better player. It's commonly suggested that players on PvP realms are better players. And after seeing other Rogues... well, I look like a fool. I need to ask questions of other rogues. I may start a topic on the WoW forums asking for tips. I dunno.

Well if you ever change your mind when a Naxx boss is up lemme know and I can go with you if you like. They are not hard and I can coach you. Anub, all you have to do is stack on his ass and fire away. There are a few adds that come out but you leave that to the range attackers.
Ulduar is a little more complicated and you might wanna wait till 4300ish for that.
Btw, does anyone know of any good 10 minute songs that I can use for my Sindragosa video? Or atleast two 5 minute songs and split it? I have the video ready but there was a lot of guild drama that night and I don't wanna be posting that shit on You Tube. XD

Well, maybe with you there with me.
Connection sucks big time today. I can't stay connected very long before it craps out on me. I'm still gonna try to login at about 7:30-8:00PM EST for our static.

Video was hilarious. XD And catchy! Now the damn song will be in my head all day. The Tauren singing was my favorite part. We had our little static group a few nights ago. Again, WOW. Elemental Shaman is a kick ass DPS class. I had 200 DPS, and was doing near half the damage in each group. Looove that class. Can't wait for level 40 and get mail. Also did my first weekly raid quest last night. I had Caller's guy pal with me, and Caller. Caller hated it, but I didn't mind it. Seemed simple enough, and an amazing 10 seals for a reward. Also fought Ahune for the first time... wow I didn't care for that fight. Maybe because all the healers we had were retards. Last one didn't even raise me, just mumbled something no one understood and left. >.>
