His Hatred Burns

Lady Jess — Fri, 20 May 2011 17:16:39 +0000

I gave up trying to find Skoll last night on my hunter. He is the last spirit beast she has to tame. So I decided to go see if Terrorpene was hanging around out in Hyjal.

He was. And I’ll tell you right now if you’re going to tame him it is going to HURT. Cairessa has 98k health. Turtle’s burning hatred attack does 10k damage per tick and seems to tick every second. My tame time is 9.2 seconds. He doesn’t seem to actually come near you and physically attack., just channels Burning Hatred. But he is worth it. And, as far as I can tell he’s the only pet with a constant sound effect. He sizzles!

He also needs a name.

The One Where Jess Visits Azeroth

I should be working on a drawing. It’s due tonight. But I hate that class therefor I am procrastinating. It’s my “Introduction to Drawing” class. Which hasn’t been much of an intro. There was no basic technique, just “draw this” and then grades based on use of line and shading (shading also wasn’t gone over for anything but ink.), and whole bunch of other things. Letter grades mind you. And there was no leeway, even though the professor knew most of us had no experience. I was even more shocked when we got to drawing people, and had no example video given. We had an example video (three in fact) for drawing flowers! I went to Barnes&Noble to find a book I could use just to pass that part. I ended up with a bunch, and the decision that I’d get through the semester and then learn my own way in my own time. It really should be a pass/fail course. You put in obvious effort you pass you draw stick figures you fail. Anyhoooo…

I went back to Azeroth last night. I’d been getting frustrated with Dragon Age 2 (love it by the way, but can’t post without SPOIKERING all of you and having rotten apples thrown at me) being buggy so I played WoW…on PATCH DAY! And I started the new STV quest chain, because there was a pet involved. And I realized in the process…I suck at boomkin. I’m half dead before a SINGLY normal 85 mob is 1/4 dead. Now I understand most people are in heroic and raid gear at this point but it’s normal 85 mobs. So beaten up, abused, and run ragged by the sudden collection of NPC’s I had following me. I mean there was Bwemba the Troll spirit, then this Dwarf starts following me around. Why me? I mean have you ever had to deal with a drunken dwarf hitting on the ghost of a female troll? They don’t take rejection well, I’ll tell you that. It was ugly.

Then, THEN I get killed by the cute. I meet my future kitten.

Yes, YES I WILL

Who can refuse a face like that!! Not me. That’s why I have a Menagerie!

I didn’t finish the chain. I got tired of having my fluffy Boomkin feathers handed to me in clumps. So I quit, and logged my hunter. My hunter who was Squeeing with joy when ALL her pets (The BIG pets not mini pets, different kind of collector she is.) jumped to Level 85. Even Cowbelle the Pink Tallstrider!! She got invited to run a couple normal dungeons. Awesome sauce, because she can’t do heroics yet. Her gear is on the just hit 85 end. One was I forget the name, but the second was Vortex Pinnacle and I was expecting a place like that horrible one in Northrend. But no, it was quite fun. And Pretty…

And I only died twice across two dungeons. Once because someone forgot to change it to normal (and may or may not have actually been healing the tank…). I’m not mentioning any names here. But hilarity ensued I can tell you THAT. And the second time because I missed the thingy I had to go stand in to not get murdered by lightning. My Bad. But Hey, I trapped! mostly successfully even! I had a trap vanish when I got out of range, but I did manage to get my pet on it until my cooldown came up and trap it after all. Really loving my hunter. I sure wish I loved my druid that much. She’s reduced to archaeology and pet collecting still.

Maybe I should try feral offspec. Oh wait, I have a rogue and she can pickpocket…

Sweet Revenge

Lady Jess — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 21:27:36 +0000

When I was but a young druid, just learning my Bear Form, I met Fandrel Staghelm. The Great Arch Druid, a legend, someone to be looked up to. Or so I thought. Instead he was arrogant, churlish, egotistical and mean. I instantly hated the man. For years I’ve wished I could see him fall. To be there when it all crashed around him.

Sometimes little girl dreams do come true…

Enjoy your stay in the Emerald Dream, you vile monster.

It’s the Cult of Personality

Lady Jess — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 11:39:00 +0000

Seriously. I’m calling my stable that from now on. I kid you not half my hunter pets have developed personality in their time at rest. Though my fox has no excuse. Do you know what he did? After we killed a big bad Rhino, he dashed RIGHT the frick past me an’ decided twas a great bloody time to play in the grass. By the time we were done huntin’ and gatherin’ skins I needed a drink. No, I mean, I know I’m a dwarf, I needed a drink more than usual got it?

So what does the fox do? Completely loseWeight Exercises he’s feckin mind.

I mean just what the hell?

What…I just…where’s the ale?

Maybe it’s my own fault. I did, after all name him “Loco”

I Answered My Own Question.

Lady Jess — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 16:06:20 +0000

Yesterday, I asked a question to myself on twitter.

Why am I stressing about catching gear up, when Cataclysm releases in a few months?

I started wondering this yesterday afternoon after enchanting my dagger (Blood Weeper) with Berserking. I then started looking at ICC loot tables to see what my priorities would be on the next alt raid, so I don’t blow my bidding on the first shiny to pop up. (mental note, must learn more about suicide kings). I then started going “omg I’ll NEVER catch up!”, which led to the aforementioned tweet.

Later that evening my Hunny and I were discussing the sudden change to my oldest daughter’s relationship status on facebook. She had mentioned he’d break up with her, because he was moving, and didn’t do long distance. This led to my husband asking…

Why did she even bother when WE are moving in a few months?

And that is when I answered his question, and my earlier one.

Why? Because life doesn’t just stop dead when it’s going to change. You don’t put your life on hold just because you may be moving to a new state in just a few short months. If you did that, especially with us, you’d never HAVE a life to begin with. It’s why we did so many trip last week. We want to leave Washington with as much completed as possible.

And that brings me back to my rogue’s gear. I want to finish WoTLK with as complete a toon as possible. Just as SSB Jezi replied on twitter.

I am doing the same thing.. I think its to ‘finish’ the character before the expac comes out…

Indeed!

Pandaren Monk and Lil K.T. Pets Go!

Lady Jess — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 20:54:18 +0000

I have been waiting FOREVER to hear news about the Pandaren Monk pet that was datamined a while back. Today, it went LIVE! And so did Lil K.T. And the awesome thing about it is, you can go to the blizzard store and buy them for $10 each! No farming, no grinding, no rare drops or rare spawns are difficult achievements. Just $10 of your money. to top it off, 50% of the proceeds from the Pandaren Monk, through December 31, 2009 will go to Make-A-Wish foundation. Woot! I got myself one of each! They are bind on account, so you have them for all characters past and present. However if you have 2 accounts or more under your Battlenet account, you must buy one for each account.

Screenshots!

KT is Number 99…

My little Monk friend is pet number 100!!

KT will freeze critters and laugh manically, and the monk makes Kung Fu noises on click, bows back if you bow to him, and man he has some moves!

Get you some!

Casual Guild Strolls Into Ulduar: 5 Bosses Die, Corpses Abused.

Lady Jess — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 20:01:26 +0000

We Devils strolled into Ulduar last night to entertain ourselves for a while. Most of us were first timers, our had only seen Flame Leviathon. So you’d think we’d have a bit tougher time of it. But apparently, we are truly awesome. Shh! I don’t want to hear how it’s “easy since whatever nerfs” there will be no parade showers on this blog. So here’s how it went..

Flame Leviathon: 1 Shot!

Razorscale: 1 Shot!

XT Deconstructor: WHO THE HELL GAVE IT THAT VOICE??? 1 Shot. (And SOMEONE made me his Minion after I died)

Ignis: I can’t remember if this was a 2 or 3 shot, but he was the only one to give us any real trouble.

Kologarn: well hell, we didn’t expect to finish the first section of Ulduar, so why not go get this guy. We 2 shotted him. This is where the corpse abuse comes in.

First, we used a Gnome to pierce his nose.

Unfortunately that made his nose run, and another Gnome fell out.

And there were Achievements! (luckily MY eath on XT was to a light bomb)

Much fun was had by all!

We are the Sidhe Devils, Mighty Mighty Sidhe Devils. Yes, our tank IS wearing Bunny Ears…what of it???
